What you can expect

  • Here, a knowledgeable local expert will demonstrate how sea cucumbers are cultivated and protected within seagrass enclosures. The guide may dive underwater to gently collect sea cucumbers for guests to observe up close. Adventurous visitors can even try diving down to catch sea cucumbers themselves while learning about their fascinating role in the marine ecosystem.
    Sea cucumbers belong to the echinoderm family, the same group as starfish and sea urchins. These remarkable marine animals play a crucial role in maintaining healthy ocean environments by recycling nutrients in seabed sediments and supporting seagrass habitats.

    During the visit, guests will also gain insight into the cultural and culinary importance of sea cucumbers. Sea cucumbers are known for their high protein content and nutritional benefits.

    The experience continues with a visit to the local learning centre for sea cucumber hatchery and seagrass conservation, where guests will discover how villagers support sustainable sea cucumber hatchery programmes and seagrass conservation efforts. You will have a chance to kayak through the mangrove forest and relax in nature.

    Enjoy a delicious local lunch prepared by local cooks, including traditional Thai dishes, spicy sea cucumber salad (Yum Sea Cucumber), Tom Yum sea cucumber soup, and seasonal fruit.

    To complete the cultural experience, you can optionally add a traditional tie-dye fabric workshop, a popular handicraft in the community.

    This unique tour offers a rare opportunity to connect with local marine conservation, traditional village life, and authentic Thai culture in one unforgettable experience.
