With hotel pick-up from Khao Lak included, your day begins with a journey into a lesser-known area near Takuapa, where you'll explore a hidden banyan tree forest. You'll canoe beneath the wide canopy of towering banyan trees, moving at an easy pace through still waters.

After time on the water, you'll travel to Takuapa old town by local Thai taxi, known as a songteaw. This small historic town offers a glimpse into everyday life and traditions that have changed little over the past century. As you walk, you'll see period-style buildings, small coffee shops and reminders of the town's past, including the old tin mines and factories that operated here until the 1920s. A local lunch is included as part of the experience, allowing you to pause and enjoy the surroundings before heading back.

This private tour from Khao Lak brings together nature, local history and relaxed sightseeing in one experience.

At your next stop, Koh Kaew Yai, you'll have free time to roam the island and visit its huge golden Buddha, which sits crossed-legged looking out to sea. There's also a small temple you can visit, complete with resident Buddhist monks.Dinner is served on a private beach at your next stop, Koh Lone Island. There's time to relax here and watch the sunset streak the sky with soft pinks and fiery oranges. If you choose the Wednesday tour, your day ends here with a minivan transfer back.
