2.Romantic Sunrise Private Gondola Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 60 reviews · 3h 30m · from $82Top rated

Leave your Koh Lanta Yai hotel around 5 AM for Tung Yee Peng, where guide Gunn and a local captain take you by paddle-powered gondola toward Lanta Bay. Watch sunrise over the mangroves, enjoy fish with sticky rice and a hot drink, and look for macaques, mudskippers, and birds. Each booking has a private boat for up to four people.

“Honestly just book this tour. Don't think twice about the early pick up time, it's so so so worth it. Can't even describe how magical it is to see and hear nature waking up around you, how gorgeous the gondolas are, how delicious and special the food is and how kind everybody is. This is a family run business: the tour guides are a lovely young couple from a local community, and their parents make the food and drive the boats. They also pick you up in a comfortable and air-conditioned private car. Besides being an amazing experience, you're guaranteed to have some of the best pics of your trip…”
