A mangrove eco-area run by the Muslim community on the east coast, where you can paddle through the mangrove waterways by longtail boat or kayak.
Tung Yee Peng is a mangrove eco-tourism site run by the local Muslim community in the northeast of Lanta. Wooden boardwalks lead deep into the mangroves, where you can spot mudskippers, fiddler crabs, monkeys, and waterbirds. The community offers kayak and longtail-boat tours through the mangrove channels for a few hundred baht, and the experience is best at high tide. Entry is inexpensive, and proceeds support community conservation. It can easily be combined with a visit to the Old Town.
