Exclusive Access via Boat

For the complimentary shuttle boat service, guests must make a booking at least 8 hours in advance. We kindly request that you arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes prior to the scheduled boat departure time. All guests are required to wear a life jacket during the boat ride for safety reasons.

Self-Driving by car : If you are self driving by car, we recommend parking your car at our secured premises in Ao Nang, located at Soi 13. Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled boat departure time to ensure that we can transfer you from our Centara Office in Ao Nang to the Nopparat Thara National Park Pier in time for your boat.
