Why go, and how to do it well

Based in Sala Dan, the main village and gateway to Koh Lanta, The Lion Travel & Tour is a locally operated activities and tour company serving travelers looking to explore the island and its surrounding waters. Its central location makes it a convenient first stop for visitors arriving on the island who want to organize day trips, water-based activities, or guided excursions into the wider Krabi region.

The company operates seven days a week from 07:30 to 19:30, giving travelers flexibility to book or inquire throughout the day. Whether visitors are interested in snorkeling trips to nearby islands, kayaking, or exploring the national parks and mangroves that Koh Lanta is known for, the team appears well-positioned to help arrange logistics and guide experiences suited to different interests and fitness levels.

For practical planning, travelers are advised to reach out early in their stay, particularly during peak season between November and April, when popular tours can fill up quickly. The company maintains an active Facebook presence, which serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries, availability, and pricing. Checking the Facebook page before arriving or shortly after landing on the island is a sensible way to plan ahead and confirm tour schedules.
