Hawaii Big Island Vacations: Your Booking Options
Hawaii Big Island Vacations: Your Booking Options
by Thomas Rodriguez
Have you recently decided that a Hawaii Big Island vacation is in your future? If so, have you started making your reservations yet? If you just recently made the decision to vacation on Big Island, there is a good chance that you have yet to start planning your vacation, as well as make your vacation reservations. If that is the case, you may want to take the time to familiarize yourself with all of your Hawaii Big Island vacation booking options. Doing so will help to ensure that you choose the booking method that best fits your needs.
One of the most popular methods of booking a vacation, including a Hawaii Big Island vacation, is with the assistance of a professional travel agent. Professional travel agents are individuals who specialize in helping vacationers plan their vacations, as well as book their reservations. Although you will still need to be in constant contact with your travel agent, there are many who feel that using a professional travel agent saves time. If you would like to familiarize yourself with popular Big Island activities, attractions, and overnight accommodations, without having to do any of the work, you may be able to benefit from the assistance of a professional travel agent. You can find these agents either online or in the back of your local phone book.
In addition to using the assistance of a professional travel agent, you can choose to book your own Hawaii Big Island vacation. You can book these reservations, a number of different ways with the internet. One of those ways is by booking your reservations directly. For instance, if you will be visiting Hawaii, there is a good chance that you will be in need of overnight accommodations and airline reservations, and maybe even a car rental. If you are interested in booking your reservations separately and directly, you can do so online. You will need to find an airline that services the Hawaii area and so on. After you have found what you need, whether it be a Hawaiian airline or a Big Island vacation rental, you will want to make your reservations online. The only downside to booking your Big Island vacation reservations independently and directly is that it could take a fairly large amount of time to find what you are looking for.
If you are looking for an easier way to use the internet, to book your Hawaii Big Island vacation, you may want to use an online travel website, particularly one that focuses on Hawaii vacations. What is nice about Hawaii travel websites is that they usually offer a number of overnight accommodations and travel arrangements online. For example, it is possible to book a stay at a Hawaii vacation rental, condo, vacation resort, or hotel through an online travel website. You should also be able to book your airline reservations or a car rental online as well. In addition to booking your reservations separately, from an online travel website, you should also be able to purchase a Big Island vacation package. A large number of online travel websites sell reservations that grouped together in vacation packages.
When making your Big Island vacation reservations, it is advised that you take your wants in your needs into consideration. For instance, if you are looking to have complete control over your vacation reservations, you may want to book your Big Island vacation reservations directly. If you are looking to eliminate the hassle of planning your own vacation, a travel agent can help. If you are looking to save money, an online travel website may be the way to go. Keeping in mind what you want and need to get out of your vacation is the best way to choose the vacation booking method that can do you most good.

Lanta Island - Krabi Thailand so nice.
Lanta Island - Krabi Thailand so nice.
by darksingha
Ko Lanta lied on the west coast of Andaman Sea in between Krabi and Phi Phi Island . Large Size Island with 6 km wide and over 30 kms long, 9 beaches lie from north to south along the sunset coast. Stunning scenery, fantastic white sandy beaches, coastlines have more than 70 small islands and plenty with forest, coral reefs and under water life. Exposed to the Tsunami hit southern Thailand , Koh Lanta got very little physical affected. She has been quietly recovering with most hotels operating normally. Koh Lanta was very fortunate in that no damage occurred to the natural scenic beauty. All the beaches remain as beautiful as ever. All dive sites did not suffer in the disaster, rather the water is cleaner and clearer than ever.
How to get Ko Lanta
Ko Lanta is easy and inexpensive to reach from Phuket, Bangkok or Malaysia . The island is serviced by passenger ferries from both Krabi & Phi Phi and car ferries from the mainland.
Krabi is the most convenient gateway to Ko Lanta if coming from Bangkok, and if arriving from Phuket passage is via either Phi Phi or Krabi. Trang also serves as a regional transit point for those coming in from the south. Please bear in mind that if your arrival time is late in the day, the local minibus or public passenger ferries scheduled for Ko Lanta may not always be available.
Location of Koh Lanta
Koh Lanta yai ( big ) & Koh Lanta noi ( small ) are located in the
Andaman Sea of South-West-Thailand ( Malayan Peninsula ), about 45 km south of Krabi-town in the Krabi province.
~ 7' 28" north latitude, ~ 99' 4" east longitude.
The islands are only one km away from the mainland and accessible by ferry / car-ferry all year round.
The Koh Lanta district contains 53 islands which mainly are part of the Koh Lanta marine national park.

Tourism in Koh Lanta
As mentioned in chapter Development, the develoment of tourism is ongoing for the last 20 years. The real ignition spark came about 6 years ago, when basic infrastructures arrived on the island. Every year since then, tens of new resorts, restaurants, shop etc. start their services along the west coast, right on the beach as well as at nearby mainstreets and hill sites.
Typical tourism "high season" is from November until May, with "paek season" from of December 20th until January 10th. Many businesses are opened all year round with very low prices during "low season", June until October. This time of the year is wonderful, too.
Tourist services of any style & for any budget are offered to the distinguished guest from around the world.
Well, so much information to display about Koh Lanta's tourism - too much for this web-site. Please refer to our Links to Ko Lanta for more details about accommodation, activities, transportation etc.
Here we would like to give you a brief overview of the "Tourist destination Ko Lanta".
The tourist center of Ko Lanta is " Ban Saladan " at the northern tip of Koh Lanta yai. Many shops, supermarkets, travel agents, dive-shops, restaurants and other facilities make it worth to spend some good time there. For most tourist guests on the island, this cosy village is the first and the last place to see, whilst being on the island.
Ferries to/from Krabi, Pee Pee and Phuket are departing and arriving at Ban Saladan pier, only.
All beaches on the west coast, in order from north to south : ( mentioned prices are estimated, average "high/low season" prices )
The first beach, "Klong Dow Beach", next to Ban Saladan, which is known to be the most beautiful beach, about 2 kilometer long, flat and white sanded. There are about 20 resorts on this beach. Prices from 400 - 4500 THB per night.
The second beach, " Phra Ae Beach or Long Beach ", about 5 kilometers long, nice and sandy. There are about 17 resorts on this beach. Prices from 250 - 4500 THB per night.
The third beach, " Klong Khong Beach ", 3 km long with sand and rocks. Great sunsets. There are about 22 resorts on this beach. Prices from 200 - 900 THB per night.
The forth beach, " Klong Tob Beach ", a short strip with sand and rocks. A very quiet beach with only a few bungalows around. Prices from 250 - 1000 THB per night.
The fifth beach, " Klong Nin Beach ", a beautiful 1,5 km long beach with about 10 bungalow resort. The famous "Otto Bar" just moved to there, formerly located at Klong Dow Beach. Prices from 250 - 4800 THB per night.
The sixth beach, " Klong Hin Beach ", with sandy and rocky parts - good for snorkeling. Klong Hin Beach is about 1 km long and has 3 resorts so far. Prices from 250 - 2600 THB per night.
The seventh beach, " Kan Thiang Beach or Bay ", a beautiful, curved sandy beach, 800 meter long. The only 4+ star Resort and Spa "Pimalai" and 3 other resorts are located there. Prices from 250 - 21000 (!) THB per night.
The eighth beach, " Klong Jark Beach, a small and quiet beach, surrounded by tropical jungle. There are 3 resorts on this beach. Prices from 300 - 900 THB per night.
The ninth beach, " Aow Mai Bai or Bamboo Bay " is the last beach outside the national marine park which is next to it. A quiet and private beach with only 2 bungalow resorts. Prices from 250 - 800 THB per night.
And last but not least the tenth and most southern beach, " Ta Noad Beach ", next to the old light-house, the landmark of Ko Lanta. The Lanta marine national park head-quarter is located right at this beach. No resorts or other commercial facilities there.
Ko Lanta is a diver's paradise for beginners and the experienced. There are very few places on the planet where divers can enjoy an underwater world so rich and diverse. And imagine learning to dive in water that's the same temperature as your bath water at home.
Nature in Koh Lanta Ko Lanta island offers tropical nature at it's best..
The tropical paradise off the south-west coast of Thailand has 25 km of beautiful beaches backed by verdant jungle & rain forest.
Here you still find real big trees, many animal species, including rare birds, mammals and reptiles. More then 80% of the island are covered with tropical rain forest, which is mostly protected national-park area.
The mangrove coast in south Thailand, covers sinking limestone ranges, millions of years old. On Koh lanta there are many mangroves, which you can admire while going on a canoe-trip. Mangroves and intertidal mudflats are of great conservation value in Thailand, helping sustain valuable inshore fisheries and protecting the coast from erosion.
If you arrive by car ferry, than watch out for monkeys, which are living here in the mangroves. They are crab-eating macaques and one of the numerous mammal species living in this environment.
Nature for a living, rubber tree and palm tree plantations: On Lanta are hundreds of rubber tree plantations, which are tapped every day before sunrise. The rubber then has to be dried, cleaned, and pressed, before being sold as 1,2 kg mats. Coconut palms and oil palms are common on Koh Lanta as in the whole south of Thailand and they provide a modest income for the local farmers.
Ko Lanta's rich waters offer sandy coves, coral reefs, limestone rock outcrops, rock reefs, seamounts and pinnacles, undersea caverns and tunnels and sunken ships. Water temperature ranges from 27 to 31 degrees - ideal for scuba-diving, corals and tropical fishes. More than 200 hard corals and 108 reef fish species have been catalogues in a study under way, but thousands more organisms around, too. The twin peaks of Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are rated in the worlds top 10 list of dive sites.
While tourism has grown quickly in the last few years, Ko Lanta has retained its traditional charm and great natural beauty.
