Get picked up from your hotel and spend your evening exploring nature by kayak. A guide will give you a flashlight and lead you through the calm waters, pointing out fish, birds, and other wildlife along the way. The highlight? Seeing the water sparkle with bioluminescent plankton as you paddle through. It’s like floating through stars. The best time to see this is during new moon, when the moon reflects the least light. Please keep that in mind while booking your trip.

This small group experience is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy nature, relax, and see something truly different in Koh Lanta. Book the glowing plankton sunset kayaking trip with us today!

Itinerary

Our driver will pick you up from your hotel on Koh Lanta Yai at around 15:00. Then we head to the mangroves at Thung Yee Peng pier in the north east of Koh Lanta.

Your local guide awaits you at the pier. You'll be assigned a kayak and given a flashlight for the glowing plankton sunset trip.

Start kayaking through the quiet mangrove canals. Stop to observe wildlife like monkeys, crabs and birds and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Half way the program, we stop for some refreshing (soft) drinks and seasonal fruits.

After the break, it's time for the highlight of the day: kayaking through glowing plankton, also called bioluminescent plankton. Especially when the moonlight is low, you can see a sea of blue dots appearing under the water. It's a true natural wonder and an amazing feeling when you're kayaking through it!

It's then time to head back to the pier. Our driver will be waiting for you there to bring you back to your hotel on Koh Lanta Yai. You should arrive there no later than 20:00.
