Take a tour of Koh Yao Noi to experience island life in its quiet simplicity.
Learn about things to do on the island of Yao Noi on a guided tour via a local taxi. Explore its golden beaches, learn about the island’s local fish farm economy, and visit coconut farms, rice fields, and rubber tree plantations.

Curious about what life on our little island is like? Hop on a mountain bike and observe how the locals spend their days. We’ll provide a map or a guide who will lead you on an engaging journey through Yao Noi’s rice paddies, coconut farms, fishing villages, beaches, markets, craft centers and other assorted points of interest.

This guided bike tour takes you off the main roads to paths less traveled. You will enjoy a scenic and tranquil tour of an assortment of the island’s well-kept secrets.
Pedal along secluded side roads adorned with arching rubber trees, grazing water buffalo, and stunning vistas of the sea and observe plantation workers harvesting rubber by hand.
Closer to the beach, you'll see islanders tinkering with their traditional Thai longtail boats. A signature aspect of marine life in Thailand and a most romantic option for touring the myriad islands adjacent to our resort, the longtail boat is inextricably linked to island locals and their humble way of life.
At low tide, our journey continues to a small island only 1,640 feet (500 meters) from the Yao Noi coast. That means if the tide is right, we will cycle to a different island. Trek through the sand and observe wild oysters on the rocks - this unique paradise is only 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) from the resort. Following an invigorating 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) ride, continue to the renowned Haad Yao Beach. Shaded and secluded, this Yao Noi must-do is only accessible by bicycle or on foot. A guided tour is the surest way to see the untouched side of Thai island life.
