Survivor Thailand tours

PaddleAsia has run more kayaking adventure tours to Koh Tarutao National Park than any other tour operator in Thailand. We know all of best kayaking destinations on 'most' of the islands.

Each island in Tarutao National Park is different from the others. Some offer massive granite boulders on white sandy beaches, while others offer lush tropical jungle along their shorelines. Koh Tarutao offers both. The outer islands are home to the formerly nomadic sea gypsies. Many sea gypsies have settled on Koh Lipe. The majority of them still fish for a living, be it as a subsistance fisherman or commercial.

PaddleAsia Survivor Tour Packages
You have several ways to experience Tarutao.

Package #1 - Keep Koh Tarutao to the Left

For those who love to paddle, we offer a three or four day circumnavigation package. We'll average 10 nautical miles per day. If you are reasonably fit, this will be easy. There are secluded beaches all the way around Tarutao. We take frequent breaks for swimming, relaxing or exploring. You'll get to do some light trekking and you'll visit the former prison.

The northern side of Koh Tarutao has several nice tidal rivers. This is a great way to see wildlife and at low tide you'll see a lot of very colorful small crabs. There are sky blue, purple, yellow, white and combination colored crabs that you'll find in the mud flats at low tide. Mud Skippers are also common.

Package #2 - Tarutao Hardcore Survivor

For the hardcore Survivor type, we offer a six day package which includes eating wild edible plants and learning about wild medicinal plants. We won't be living entirely off of what we find, but we will sample some of the most common wild edible plants. Check out our wild edible and medicinal plants page. We will do some beach camping as well as staying in bungalows.

Package #3 - Tarutao Six Days in Paradise Package

PaddleAsia offers our amazing six day package which includes the sea gypsy islands that lie 30 nautical miles offshore. This package includes Ko Khao Yai, Ko Tarutao and the outer islands. It gives you a great taste of this 51 island national park. Bring your snorkeling gear!

Package #4 - Tarutao Eight Days in Paradise Package

So if six days is amazing, imagine what you'll experience if you stay out there for two more days. That's right, more islands, more snorkeling and lots more fun. It's time to squeeze the boss for a couple more days off!
