We'll hop on bikes and pedal around the entire island. Take in the views and chase the sunset while cruising around the shoreline at your own pace.
Hone your balance skills and work on those abs by standing on the board and propelling yourself forward with the paddle. This activity is addictive!
Visit the sacred forest filled with curious and playful monkeys wrestling, grooming each other and jumping from tree to tree. These creatures are very friendly and will come right up to you - especially if you have treats!
There are few things more acclimatizing than a visit to a local market. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to try a variety of different local foods, shop for souvenirs and test your bargaining skills!
First stop is a real shipwreck of an old fishing boat, sunk years ago, it is now filled with coral and sea creatures – you are almost guaranteed to see huge sea turtles!
There is nothing that compares to the feeling of surfing your first wave. It doesn’t matter if you are a pro or if it’s your first time on a board, every moment spent riding the crystal clear water is truly exhilarating.
Explore a set of small twin islands just off Koh Tao. A band of sand joins them, and at high tide it appears that those standing on the sand bar are walking on water!
We love nothing more than gathering an awesome group of people on a beautiful beach and adding outstanding music.
Wat Pho the largest temple in Bangkok and famed for its huge and majestic reclining Buddha, measuring 46 metres long and covered in gold leaf.

Plunge beneath the surface to discover a whole new underwater world.

Matty is one of the best human beings I’ve ever met! Made my time in Thailand as an 18 year old who had never travelled alone before the best possible experience I could’ve had and inspired me to keep travelling :)
As my first trip abroad I can't imagine a more fulfilling trip organized by anyone else. Amazing people, brilliant guides, unique experiences. I will definitely book with LBW again. Don't hesitate just book!
This was the most amazing experience. More than I could ever have expected. Life long friends and memories have been made. The guides, the music, the locations were fabulous. I will definitely be travelling with LBW again. Thanks a million!!
