Scuba diving (bottles, fins, mask and diving suit…)

One of the world's ten hotspots for scuba diving, the Andaman Sea is a throng of exotic sea species and magnificent coral reefs.

Lanta Nik's Garden Resort can tell you where to dive and recommend a list of diving professionals to accompany you safely as you discover the extraordinary natural wealth of the islands around Koh Lanta.

Snorkelling (at the surface, without bottles)

Koh Lanta is sheer paradise for anyone who loves snorkelling; fins, mask and snorkel are all you need to see the underwater wonders.

Lanta Nik's Garden Resort recommends a day's outing to Koh Roh, where the underwater scenery is often compared to the Red Sea...

Discover the Emerald Cave, the old pirate hideaway, or just let your fins take you along the beach to see the rocks and the thousands of brightly coloured fish in those unforgettably crystal clear waters.

Elephant treks (jungle photo safaris)

Lanta Nik's Garden Resort really recommends an elephant ride through the luxuriant jungle and across the rivers. The pacific, captivating nature of these enormous animals and their skilled guides will introduce you to yet another facet of the island, far wilder than the coast.

It's the best and safest way to take a very close look at the wildlife and the plants of Koh Lanta, full of surprising species such as monkeys and monitor lizards…

Island Tour - Koh Phi Phi, Koh Hai, Lanta Noi, Koh Roh...

Many tour operators working with Lanta Nik's Garden Resort organise outings to the other islands which rival in beauty. Lanta Noi, the next-door neighbour and its famous natural park, Koh Phi Phi (the "Beach"), Koh Roh...

If you hate crowds, why not go on a little tour at your own pace by hiring a long tail boat, typical of Thailand, whose captain will enjoy showing you places that are off the beaten track but just as magical.

Sea kayaking

Another view of the island while you sail on a calm sea.

Sea kayaking is a typical family activity but sport lovers will really enjoy paddling all along the beach. Day excursions organised by Lanta Nik's Garden Resort partners will take you around the island to see the famous mangrove forest and its mythical channels. All the time, you'll be with a local guide who really knows the ups and downs to the last detail.
