6 Days/ 5 Nights Trang Island Hopping marraskuusta huhtikuulle

Trang Province in Southern Thailand is an interesting alternative to the well-known and crowded Phuket and Krabi Provinces. Following Island Hopping Tour is a unique and exceptional way of exploring the many islands off the Trang coast. Every tour is exclusively organized for the number of persons that asks for it, it is not a group tour or so. There is no fix time-schedule, no hurry, no musts. There will be plenty of time for snorkeling, fishing, swimming, sun-bathing: this all mainly depends on your interests and wishes. You will travel in your'own' private, traditional longtailed boat with 02 local experienced boatmen and 01 English speaking guide at your service. They will show you and let you experience all aspects of typical island-life with its island-people in the Trang Sea. The as many as 50 islands in the Trang Sea are not far from each other, but very different in vegetation, culture and geography.

Day 1 : Transfer by private car or mini-bus from our office or any Hotel in Trang Town to the Pak Meng Pier, meeting point with the 3 boat men/ guide. Visit Koh Mah and Koh Cheuck for sightseeing and snorkelling; abundant colourful fish and soft corals. Your guide could give you some first fishing instructions and eventually your could catch your own meal. Next stop is at the popular tourist resort Koh ngai; time to realx to make a walk, talk a sunbath or snorkelling straight from the beach. We will reach the island of Koh Mook at hat Farang Beach, one fo the most beautiful beaches in the Trang Area. Over night on Koh Mook in basic bungalows with private bathroom.

Day 2 : After breakfast and check out, we will visit one of Trang's hightlights, "Tham Marakhot", the Emerals Cave on Koh Mook. Approaching the western cliffs of the island, the entrance to the cave is hard to spot, indeed it is almost hidden at hight tide. You will have to enter (swimming) a small tunnel that zigzags for some 80 metres through solid rock, partly absolutely dark, before emerging in to an enchanting small lagoon, totally surrounded by towering cliffs, abundant vegetation and a small beach. Another one hour with our boat and we reach the pristine beach of the Bounty Paradise Island Koh Kradan. We continue the tour to Koh Libong. Over night on Koh Libong in basic bungalows with private bathroom.

Day 3 : Today's first stop is the unknown Koh Takieng with its nice reef, islolated beach and light house. May be you will se some sharks while snorkelling....Next the beautiful twin islands of Koh Lao Lieng. Under the high lime stone cliffs and on the beach we will visit the temporary fisherman village. We will prepare our pick nick style lunch (incl.) with them and enjoy the freshly catched delicious crabs and other sea food. After a refreshing swim, we have less than one hour to go to land at the beach immediately in front of Sukorn Beach Bungalows, where you will stay the coming 3 nights.

Day 4 & 5 : To get familiar with Koh Sukorn, we will organize a Sukorn Island Tour in the morning of Day 4 by moter bike taxi or pickup truck (incl. lunch in a typical Southern Thai private house). Rest of the stay at leisure: Koh Sukorn counts about 2.500 inhabitants in 4 villages, most fishermen and (rubber) farmers. There are only a few cars on the island, transport mainly by foot and motorbike (taxi). The island, 8 x 4 kms, not yet visited by many tourists, is rather flat, 2 hills reach 150 mtr, on one is the island's Viewpoint. Be welcome to meet the very friendly Sukorn people and enjoy the islands green nature during walking or mountain bike tours.
