Want to spend time around elephants? Choose a visit without riding, shows or forced interaction: watching and feeding are the focus. A bath is part of the day only when the animals choose to enter the water. Want quiet nature from the water? The Phang Nga mangrove kayak trip is guided, calm and suitable without experience. Mostly want time in the sea? Snorkeling trips to Coral, Khai or Racha are a good fit for beginners.
For longer island trips to Phi Phi or Similan, see the Island & Beach tours. In protected areas, do not touch coral or take anything away, and always follow your guide’s instructions. Hotel transfer is included with many nature trips.
