Yes. Every tour includes pickup and drop-off at hotels anywhere on Koh Lanta. We confirm your pickup time the evening before by WhatsApp or email.

No. Tours that enter a marine national park have a park fee paid in cash on the day: ฿400 per adult and ฿200 per child for 4 Islands and Phi Phi, ฿200 for Around Island. The Mangrove Tour has no park fee. Each tour page states it clearly.

On Join tours, children aged 4–11 pay the child rate and infants aged 0–3 travel free. Private charters are priced per boat, whatever the ages; we just need the head count for the manifest.

Safety first. If we cancel because the sea is unsafe, you choose a full refund or a new date. Closed days are greyed out in the booking calendar with the reason.

You book first with no payment. Once we confirm availability we email a secure Stripe payment link: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or PromptPay. Pay in full and your e-voucher arrives by email.

About Araya

Araya is a small, Lanta-born crew of skippers, guides and hosts. We run our own boats, a handful of rooms by the sea and private vans to the airports.

We keep groups small, brief every snorkeler, and turn the boats around when the sea says no. That is the whole philosophy.
