TOUR Tarutao

Duration: 8 Days/7 Nights

Style: Comfort

Category: Sightseeing

Cost: 0.00 US$

Weดll meet our guests in Pak Bara at a specified hotel either the evening before the departure day or the morning of the day. Pak Bara is the pier for boats heading to Tarutao National Park .

Pak Bara is in the most southern province of the west coast of Thailand . In fact, Tarutao is only five miles from Langkawi , Malaysia. Guests can either fly into Hat Yai ( Thailand ) and take a taxi to Pak Bara (less than two hours) or you can fly into the Trang airport. Flying into Langkawi , Malaysia is also an option.

Transportation to and from the Hat Yai airport is included. Transportation to and from Trang or Langkawi is NOT included. We can help you arrange these locations if required.

Day 1

The first paddling trip starts from the pier. "Pak Bara" means mouth of the Bara river in Thai. A thriving mangrove forests lines the far shore. We often encounter a good variety of birds in the mangrove including Little herons, Whimbrels, Collared kingfishers, Brown-winged kingfishers, and occasionally others. Mudskippers, small fish that walk out of the water, like to climb up on the mangrove roots.

Weดll do a short crossing to an island called Ko Khao Yai which literally means "Island Mountain Big" or Big Mountain Island . It is. There are beaches all the way around the island that we take advantage of frequently. Long-tailed macaques (monkeys) and sizeable monitor lizards also frequent these beaches to forage for food. Weดll stay in Pak Bara this evening.

Day 2

An escort boat will take us to Tarutao Island . Thereดs a tidal river flowing through a dense mangrove forest which exits into the sea near the national park campgrounds/bungalows.

Brahminy kites, White-bellied sea eagles, a variety of kingfishers, woodpeckers, hornbills, monitor lizards, Long-tailed macaques, Dusky Langurs (monkeys), and a lot of different exotic birds add character to an already lovely area.

Weดll paddle a stretch of coastline to finish the day. The evening will either be spent at the park bungalows or back on mainland in Pak Bara.
Day 3

Our escort boat will take us out to the sea gypsy island called Ko Lipae. There are many different bungalow operations on this island. Sometimes, we use the national park bungalow on Ko Adang (depending on the group).

The big attractions on these outer islands are crystal-clear water, verdant rain forest that grows all the way down to pure white sand beaches, birds, monkeys, and superb snorkeling.

Weดll paddle around Ko Lipae, stopping periodically to go snorkeling. Check out our snorkeling page at snorkeling.htm. The amount of marine diversity in Southeast Asia is far above that of the Caribbean and other parts of the world.

Day 4

Our escort boat will take us to the far side of Ko Adang. Weดll take our time paddling back. The jungle on this stretch of the island is thick with tall tropical trees. The snorkeling is very good.

Day 5

Ko Rawi is our next goal. Weดll paddle along the coastline, stopping to explore secluded beaches and to go snorkeling.

Day 6

Weดll go back to Ko Rawi to paddle the other side. One side of Ko Rawi forms a beautiful channel with another island called Ko Butang. Weดll spend the entire day slowly exploring the magnificent coral, interspersed with beach naps or beach exploring.

Day 7

Ko Butang and the other small islands in the area provide us with a different feel from the previous days.These islands are small enough to paddle all the way around easily. This is perhaps the best snorkeling day. Weดve found huge areas of completely undisturbed coral. The marinelife is abundant. Huge Moray eels are very common. Large grouper can still be found if youดre willing to look under some of the larger coral heads. One area has nice variety of sea anemones. They cover a large portion of a bay.
Day 8

Weดll pack up and get onboard our escort boat. Heading back towards Pak Bara, there are a couple of islands that again, are very different from the ones weดll have visited already. Thereดs a natural arch on one island that makes for a wonderful photo opportunity. Weดll take our time exploring, paddling, and snorkeling before heading back into Pak Bara.
