Seahorse travel
Based in Sala Dan, the main village and entry point of Koh Lanta, Seahorse Travel is a local tour and activities agency catering to visitors looking to explore the island and its surrounding waters. Its central location makes it a convenient first stop for travellers arriving on the island who want to organise day trips, boat tours, or other excursions without venturing far from where the ferries come in. The agency operates seven days a week from 07:30 to 18:00, giving travellers plenty of flexibility to drop in and plan their itinerary. As a locally run operation, it offers a more personal service compared to larger booking platforms, which can suit independent travellers looking for face-to-face advice about what to do in the area. With a moderate rating across its reviews, experiences appear to vary, so it is worth stopping in to ask detailed questions about what is included in any tour before committing. Travellers can also check the agency's Facebook page for up-to-date information on available tours and contact details ahead of arrival. Visiting early in the morning is advisable, as popular day trips and boat tours around Koh Lanta tend to fill up quickly during peak season.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours
Vet Elephant Sanctuaries
Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.
Book Popular Activities Online
Booking platforms like GetYourGuide give you instant confirmation and, on many activities, free cancellation — and you can read recent reviews before committing. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.
Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning
Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
