Fantastic Hong Islands trip on the speedboat—fast, smooth, and well-organized Rating: 5 / 5 Stars (or your preferred rating) Pros: Speedboat Advantage: Taking the speedboat got us out to the Hong Islands quickly and comfortably, leaving plenty of time on the beach and in the water instead of wasting time in transit. Incredible Scenery: Hong Island, the emerald lagoon, and the surrounding limestone karst islands are stunning. The 360° viewpoint climb is a workout, but the panoramic views at the top are worth every step. Great Tour Crew: The Krabi Sunset Tours team was well-organized, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly from hotel pickup to drop-off. Beating the Morning Crowds: The schedule worked out great for enjoying the beaches without the heavy peak-morning crowds. Cons: Steep Steps to Viewpoint: The climb to the 360° viewpoint is hot and steep, so proper shoes/sandals (not flimsy flip-flops) are recommended. Summary: A top-notch island tour in Krabi. The speedboat makes the journey effortless, the sights are world-class, and Krabi Sunset Tours delivered a seamless, memorable day. Highly recommended!

Outstanding experience. Went on a traditional boat tour to hong island and we ended up with a fantastic guide and only 2 others on our boat. Only thing you could „complain“ about is that there will be other boats from other company’s too and it might get crowded.

We hadden een fantastische 4 eilanden tour gehad. Met een goede gids. Onze kinderen hebben van de speedboat genoten en het eiland hoppen. Alles liep zeer vlot en was prachtig verlopen

Het was een zeer goed verzorgde excursie, vanaf het oppikken bij het hotel, tot aan de boot tot aan het eten, alles was netjes geregeld.. Absolute topdag gehad en een echte aanrader!

Très bonne organisation, guide efficace. Découverte des îles mais tour limité qui laisse de la place pour le snorkeling. Bon repas.
When you visit Krabi, for sure you’ll hear about the ‘Four Islands’ (sometimes also referred to 7 Islands), a cluster of stunning and idyllic destinations located just off the coast. These islands, known for their natural beauty and pristine beaches, are a must-see for travelers looking to experience the true essence of Krabi. Let’s have a closer look at these beautiful islands!
The 4 Islands (or 7 Islands if you include a couple more stops) are easily accessible from Ao Nang and Krabi mainland. You can either take a private longtail boat, which takes around 20 minutes to get to the island, or book one of the group tours by speedboat or longtail boat. The speedboat tours usually leave from Nopparat Thara Pier, which is located near Ao Nang Beach. Speedboats can reach the 4 Islands within 10-20 minutes, making it the perfect location for families with children. If you’re visiting Ao Nang and Krabi; the 4 Islands should be on your to-do list!
When planning your trip to the 4 Islands, consider joining a guided island-hopping tour that includes multiple destinations. This will simplify transportation logistics and ensure you make the most of your visit to these beautiful and diverse Krabi islands. If you wish to rent your own boat, you can do so on the beach or by booking on of our private tours to the 4 Islands. The journey from Ao Nang takes around 20 minutes by longtail boat and 15 minutes by speedboat.
Some of the islands have limited facilities (Koh Poda), such as small food vendors and basic restroom facilities. However, it’s a good idea to bring your own snacks and essentials, especially if you plan to book a private tour without lunch.
Yes you can, but the best time to visit the islands is during the dry season, from November – April. Weather can be unpredictable during the rainy season, from May – October, which may affect our boat tours and activities. If you are unsure about the weather: please contact us so we can check the forecast for you!
Yes, a trip to the 4 Islands is especially suitable for children. However, as parents you should supervise your children when swimming or snorkeling. The trip to the 4 Islands is short, making it a perfect destination for families visiting Krabi & Ao Nang.
No, there are no accommodation options on the island. You can only stay on the island during the day and must leave before sunset.
Yes, visitors are required to pay an entrance fee to visit the islands. It’s currently set at THB 200 per adult and THB 100 per child. Infants up until 3 years old can enter for free. The fee includes the maintenance of the facilities on the islands and is there so locals can keep the islands clean and safe.
