Koh Rok Krabi
Koh Rok, located forty-seven kilometers from Koh Lanta Yai, is a small island surrounded
by emerald green water and white-sand beaches. When diving offshore, you will be amazed by the
abundant sea life. From Koh Lanta Yai, you can arrange for package tours to and from the island.
Location
Koh Rok is located within the Mu Koh Lanta National Park in Amphoe Koh Lanta in the province of Krabi. It is thirty kilometers from Laem Tanod and forty-seven kilometers from the Saladan Pier. Offshore there are two additional islands, Koh Rok Nai and Koh Rok Nok.
Highlights
Koh Rok Nai: Koh Rok Nai consists of many steep cliffs, some as high as 200 meters. During the rainy season, you can take a boat and see the water violently cascading into the ocean below. The interior is heavily forested and teeming with wildlife. In the ocean, you can dive around the coral reefs and see the colorful tropical fish in their natural environment.
Koh Rok Nok: Koh Rok Nok is part of the National Park Ranger Unit. Had Man Sai, the most popular beach, has white-sand beaches where you can waste the day away. In the afternoon, you can snorkel from here and share the water with many different species of fish. At the end of the day, Had Man Sai is a wonderful place to watch the sun disappear over the horizon. This beach also rents tents, allowing you to spend your night under the stars. For more information, you can contact the National Park Office.
How to Get There
From Koh Lanta, you can make your arrangements for package tours to these islands. If you opt for a speedboat, the trip will only take you one hour. This will give you plenty of time to enjoy the beaches, have lunch, and return before nightfall. If you decide to stay overnight, you will need to bring your own meals and catch the morning boat back.
