This is a trip best done early in your visit to Koh Lanta. The trip shows off the entire island and will leave you with a list of places to revisit during your trip.
I will say this for the tour - you have to trust the process. Booking it from here on Viator, there isn't a lot of itinerary information, so we weren't sure what to expect. We were taken from our hotel to a cute fishing village that requires an entrance fee of 20baht per person. From there, we went on a longtail boat through the mangroves, met a monkey, learned about the forest and saw a bunch of wildlife.
At this point, I assumed the boat was headed to Old Town, but instead we went back to the fishing village and met up with our tour guide and her truck! She drove us all over the island, took us to a beautiful lunch at a cliffside restaurant and shopping in Old Town.
Really, an amazing experience and we learned so much about the island.
