This is a most impressive introduction to the unique geology which we will explore for the duration of this trip. (ircumnavigating islands, you;ll observe the variety of birds such as .rown!winged, (ollared and .lack!capped kingfishers, .rahminy kites and White!bellied sea eagles, and you$re likely to see monitor lizards, fish, crabs, orchids, fruit bats and monkeys such as 9ong!tailed @acaques, =ibbons, and ,usky 9angurs. There are many orchids and other flowers. Thailand;s remaining mangrove forests are the breeding ground and nursery for much of the marine life in the ocean. And many creatures come to the mangroves to feed on the young fish, shrimp and crabs hiding among the root systems. We can, usually at lower tide levels, see the well!known ;mud skipper;, a fish whose lungs can extract oxygen from the air as well as from the water. They love to crawl around on the mud flats, and even climb the exposed roots of the mangrove trees. %or experienced kayakers, this island!hopping can easily be extended into a A or B day kayak fest, visiting all the gorgeous island in the .ay of /rabiC2huket, and camping overnight on stunning deserted beaches with a stop at civilization on the off!the!beaten! track island of /oh ?ao 3oi. (:2 programs, as always, can be woven into your kayak trip.

A note on the AIG insurance

We believe it is important that people go on trips well-insured, and that it would be a great shame if hassle or cost would prevent our guests from taking up an insurance. Thats why we asked our insurance intermediary to formulate an affordable package that delivers true insurance when you really need it, and makes it very easy to sign up. They brought us a travel insurance program with the best insurer in town, AI Insurance, as outlined below. To sign up, simply leave the tick after your name on LooLas ferry booking form, thats all. We will bill you only if you actually end up going, and will fully refund the insurance charges in the event that you cancel your trip !even at the last moment", for whatever reason. Please note the very important small print in red below, which insurance companies tend to put in the sometimes very! small print" Please note that AIGs fine print is actually the most generous in town #etails on procedures and how to claim are posted on http$%%www.loola.net%insurance
