Other Activities on Koh Yao
The elephants are only half the island. Add a day on the water, a paddle through the mangroves, or a night of Muay Thai.
FULL DAY · 8 HOURS
One Day Trip
A full day island hopping around Phang Nga Bay by longtail boat — snorkelling over coral gardens, swimming off hidden beaches, and lunch served on board. Stops change with the tide and the weather, which is exactly why the days are never crowded.
- Departure 09:00, return around 17:00
- Snorkelling gear, life jackets and lunch included
- Free hotel transfer on Koh Yao
- Children from 4 years welcome with a parent
HALF DAY · 3 HOURS
Mangrove Kayaking
Paddle quiet channels through the mangrove forest, under limestone cliffs and into sea caves that open only at low tide. No experience needed — the water is flat, the pace is slow, and a local guide leads every group.
- Morning and afternoon departures, timed to the tide
- Two-person kayaks, guide, life jackets and drinking water included
- Free hotel transfer on Koh Yao
- Children from 4 years share a kayak with a parent
EVENING · PARTNER SITE
Koh Yao Boxing Stadium
Real Muay Thai on the island — local fighters, a local crowd, and none of the tourist-show atmosphere of the mainland stadiums. Fight nights run on a set schedule through the season.
- Tickets, schedule and ringside seating on the stadium website
- A short ride from most Koh Yao hotels
- Family friendly — children welcome with a parent
