Planning a Trip
Getting There
Minivans from Krabi Town, Trang, and Phuket make connections to Koh Lanta Yai via two vehicular ferries: one from the mainland to Koh Lanta Noi and across the island by car before another ferry to Koh Lanta Yai. Most transport stops in the small town of Saladan near the ferry pier on the northern tip of Lanta Yai. From Saladan, catch a pickup truck ride to the resort of your choice (whether you book with them or not, it is part of the minivan fee). Contact Kanokwan Tour (Lanta office: tel. 07568-4419, or Krabi office: 07563-0192) or Lanta Transport Co. (tel. 07568-4482) to make budget transportation arrangements.
Destination Air's (tel. 07632-8637-9; www.destinationair.com) amphibious Cessnas can fly you from Phuket to your destination on Koh Lanta in a matter of minutes; check availability and pricing well in advance.
