Sport & Activities
There are two primary activities on Lanta: scuba diving and snorkelling,
and lounging about. There is no wild night scene, no cinemas or discos. There is plenty of
beach, sushine and friendly folk. If you
feel energetic you can hike into the hills. Old Lanta Town, a traditional fishing village
on the eastern side of the island, is definitely worth a visit. Check out mangrove forests
and neighbouring islands by hiring a longtail boat. If you’re a sailor there are some
good anchorages here. |

Lanta Activities
Apart
from basking and lolling in the midst of serene beaches, there are other activities that
will work your energy out and give you the dynamic feeling.  Snorkeling:
is one of the most popular activities in Koh Lanta. Since the island possesses many
islands, each of which offers the magnificent underwater paradise, there is a day or a
few-day-trip for snorkeling on the scattering islands. The most popular destination for
snorkeling is Koh Rok, the beautiful island within the Koh Lanta National Marine Park. The
island is famed for its abundant and colorful coral beds and breathtaking panorama.
Diving:
Koh Lanta is closed to many popular diving sites in Andaman Sea such as Hin Daeng-Hin
Muang and Koh Ha, and etc. There are many diving shops and diving center available on the
island.
Trekking
is another good experience in exploring the green land on Koh Lanta. You can sit on the
elephant back to the viewpoint or the waterfall.
Sea kayak or canoe:
This is also the best way to explore the scenic beauty of the island. You will closely get
in touch with the nature by paddling through the mangrove forest, the towering cliff and
enter the caves which appear only when the water level is low. You can enjoy kayaking and
canoeing in such wonderful scenery on Koh Talabeng near Lanta.
Fishing:
Three different kinds of fishing trip are offered by private long tail boat: half-day,
full day and night fishing. The usual catch is Barracuda and White and Red Snapper among
other sorts.
