On this small-group, private trip, you’ll glide on a longtail boat 🚤 to hidden coves, snorkel colorful reefs, and dive into an underwater world that most tourists don’t even know exists.What makes this trip extra special? ✨ Your boat is captained and crewed by members of the Moken tribe, sea nomads with generations of ocean wisdom.

Every dip feels like jumping into a natural aquarium, full of color and life. Between snorkeling stops, you’ll step ashore at a secret beach 🏖️ in Khao Lak—a quiet stretch of sand far from the crowds, where you can sunbathe and enjoy the beauty of nature all to yourself.Your local guides know these waters like the back of their hand, and a longtail boat captain navigates every hidden cove. An underwater videographer doubles as your English-speaking guide, capturing your best moments while you focus on the adventure. Enjoy Thai snacks and a beachside lunch, soak up the sun, get a little tan, and let the gentle rhythm of the waves carry your worries away.It’s a day built for wonder, curiosity, and a little ocean magic 🌊. By the end of it, whether you’ve snorkeled among schools of shimmering fish or simply floated in awe, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories—and maybe a little sand between your toes. 🐚What to ExpectPrivate longtail boat adventure to a secret Khao Lak beach, far from the crowds and typical tourist spotsSnorkel above vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical fish and marine lifeThis trip directly supports the local Moken tribe—your boat captain and crew are Moken, and your participation helps sustain their traditional way of lifeLocal guides with insider knowledge who reveal secret coves, hidden corners, and the best spots to exploreUnderwater GoPro videos captured by your guide, so you can relive every magical momentNational Park fee, beachside mini lunch, fruit, Thai snacks, and a handy beach kit are includedComplimentary beach kit includes a tote bag and either sunscreen or coconut oil (depending on availability)Good to KnowThis is a private trip - no joining with other groupsRoundtrip transfer from Khao Lak hotels to the pier is NOT included, but can be arranged separately (available as add on)Itinerary may change depending on weather and sea conditionsAmenities/facilitiesSnorkelling gear (included)Beach KitAccident travel insuranceUnderwater GoPro video filmingMini lunch, fruit and local snacks

Meet your host
Isawan and Tommy are a couple with a deep love for the sea and a strong commitment to the Moken community. After volunteering in the wake of the 2004 tsunami, Tommy stayed in Khao Lak, learning the Andaman islands like the back of his hand. Years later, Isawan joined him, bringing her creative skills as a designer. Together, they work closely with Moken families to craft handmade goods, run thoughtful workshops, and transform marine debris into useful items. They also organize snorkeling and freediving trips, hiring Moken people as captains and crew, which provides income while sharing the islands’ beauty and local knowledge. What started with just two households now involves much of the village, all while keeping traditions alive and giving travelers a deeper, more authentic island experience.
