Fishing Trips

Arrange an unforgettable night-fishing trip (or day trip) with the local fishermen on their longtail boat with our staff. Everyone is always amazed at what the locals can catch using only a handline (with one wrap of the line around a big toe). Watch how they catch fish, crab, prawns and squid, and try your hand at it, yourself. Our chefs are also happy to cook your catch of the day if you wish to eat it. The locals of Koh Yao Noi have an uncanny ability to find where the fish are biting.

Jungle Trekking

Our little corning of Koh Yao Noi is surrounded by protected national park. One of the significant highlights is the Grand Father Tree that sits at the far north of the island. A short trek through the lush tropical jungle but a stunning sight to see an ancient tree over 100 years old towering through the jungle canopy. It would take more than a dozen people linked hand by hand to circle this colossal tree’s base.
