Half Day Phuket Explore The Fishery Raft Intara Farm

This excursion takes you out onto the Andaman Sea, between Phuket and Coconut Island, to spend half a day at Intara Farm, a floating fishery and seafood restaurant focused on marine conservation.

After arriving at the large pontoon by long-tail boat, you begin with a masterclass on local marine life and an up-close look at the fishery rafts, where you can see rare species such as painted spiny lobsters, archer fish and oysters, and learn how different types of pearls are formed. The team at Intara Farm regularly breed native fish such as clownfish, and you help release them into the wild among the coral reefs.

Then you kayak to the nearby mangroves and learn how these forests support the ecosystem and protect the coastline and local fishing community. Back at Intara, you try making kanom kho, a Phuket favourite sweet rice dumpling, before a fresh seafood set lunch.
