Enjoyable trip
Fabulous day! We took the long tail boat option for the mangrove part, very relaxing and enjoyable. We didn't see a great deal of wildlife but still interesting. The hour and a half in Old Lanta was sufficient to grab some lunch and do some shopping. All in all, great value and worth doing.

Good mix of wildlife spotting and retail and dining opportunities in Old town
This was billed as a half day trip but we were out for a good 5 hours - so good value.
Communication wasn't always easy and at times it was unclear what was going on, but we got to see and do all that we expected. Also there were just the two of us so effectively a private tour. Picked up early from our hotel and driven to the Mangrove forest park. Longtail boat cruise around the lagoons and guide was excellent at spotting the wildlife. After a refreshment break of fruit and drink we were transported to Lanta Old Town. Really just one long street but with some good shops and lots of lovely cafes. Plenty of time for retail therapy and food and drink. Finally back to our hotel

Find another tour provider
Would recommend the kayaking in the mangroves, super fun with lots of great animals, but this tour provider is terrible. No communication and lack of any English speakers.

Fun kayaking and interesting to see Lanta old town
The kayaking around the mangroves was fun and my guide was great. To be honest I booked the trip to have a bit of company (I'm staying at a gorgeous resort in long beach but, as it's the rainy season I'm literally the only person here!) so it was maybe a bit disappointing to have a solo guided tour (or you may think I should have been charged more 😀)

Longtail cruise, kajaking, monkeys, Old Town - all in one, great tour!
This tour was by far more than expected. Cruise with a longtail boat through the beautiful sea, onboarding to kajaks in an amazing little bay on an island, one hour kajaking into a cave, around the beautiful rocks in the Andaman sea, we even saw monkeys. Longtail boat back, cruising through mangroves and feeding monkeys. Afterwards one hour spare time in Lanta Old Town.

Great wildlife, relaxing, and perfect for introverts
Calm and relaxing experience at the mangrove forest and Krabi Old Town. The guides at the forest know exactly where to spot the wildlife and will bring you there to take the guesswork out of trying to find them. Some of the animals include fish that walk on land, some fascinating crabs, and monkeys. I was then dropped off at Krabi Old Town for a few hours on my own, so note that this part of the tour isn't guided. It was nice to explore at my own pace, and Old Town has some great food and cute little stores. Please note that my guides had limited English, but they were friendly, helpful, and will get you where you need to go.

Peaceful half day trip
Great trip through the mangroves saw Macaque monkeys which was a highlight of the trip, these monkeys are excellent swimmers. Went to Lanta old town afterwards for a fantastic lunch. Highly recommend
