The boats to Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai leave Ao Tha Len pier at 10.00, 12.00 and 15.00. At the other end of the pier you can rent kayaks and take a guided tour through the limestone islands
Ao Tha Len is the perfect spot for those who look for individual holidays and tranquility. Especially kayaking through the intact mangrove forests and to Hong Island is a must do! There are many things to explore around Ao Tha Len, so being mobile is an asset.
