Our Kayak Departure Point

The kayak departure point is located in Ao Thalane, just a short distance from the main pier in Pak Nam Pran. To get there, take a left when you leave the pier and follow the road for around 15 minutes until you see our sign on your right hand side.

If you’re coming by motorbike or car then parking shouldn’t be an issue as there are plenty of spaces available free of charge. If however, like most people who visit Koh Phangan these days then chances are that your mode of transport will be public transport (bus) which means finding somewhere safe to leave it while exploring this beautiful island can sometimes prove tricky! 

We suggest asking around at hotels/hostels etc before leaving yours unattended but if all else fails then there are usually security guards at most shopping malls who can offer advice on where best not only store items securely but also provide some much needed peace-of-mind too!
