Pimalai Resort Activities: Doing Snorkeling in Koh Rok in The Lanta Marine National Park. Koh Lanta. Krabi. Thailand. Snorkelling: available all year, subject to weather and sea conditions. The Lanta Marine National Park features a number of small protected islands where a vast coral reef with brightly coloured fish and sea life can be seen. Pimalai has 7 modern speedboats offering regular excursions to Koh Rok ( hr boat trip away) and other islands. Koh Muk is renowned for its emerald cave (Morakot Cave); a 60m long tunnel that runs through a mountain to a lagoon at the bottom of a sheer vertical shaft. Trips include snorkelling equipment and picnic lunch. Ko Lanta is technically called Ko Lanta Yai, the largest of 52 islands in an archipelago protected by the Mu Ko Lanta Marine National Park. Almost all boats pull into Ban Sala Dan, a dusty two-street town at the northern tip of the island. Once the domain of backpackers and sea gypsies, Lanta hasn't just gentrified, it's morphed almost completely from a luscious southern Thai backwater into a midrange getaway for French, German and Swedish package tourists who come for her divine beaches (though the northern coast is alarmingly eroded) and nearby dive spots, Hin Daeng, Hin Muang and Ko Ha. Within eyeshot of Phi-Phi, Lanta remains far more calm and real, however, and effortlessly caters to all budget types. It's also relatively flat compared to the karst formations of its neighbours, and laced with good roads, so is easily explored by motorbike.
