This afternoon sunset tour to the 7 Islands is the best way to see the islands in the national park, go swimming with bioluminescent plankton and enjoy a tasty BBQ. This trip has it all: snorkeling, swimming, relaxing and sightseeing. Watch the sun set on the beach and when it's getting dark you will be able to swim with plankton that magically turns bright blue. It doesn't hurt but can be a tingling sensation as you swim in it. It's a great photo opportunity so be sure to bring a camera! Dinner is served with a BBQ. If you wish to have vegetarian food, please let us know during checkout, so we can prepare accordingly.
FAQs
For dinner you can expect a delicious Thai-style BBQ buffet. You’ll have several (halal) choices like a curry, Pad Thai, stir fried, rice, fish and meat. The food is halal. If you have any specific food allergies, please let us know prior to booking this tour.
Visitors from Railay can join the tour by taking a longtail ferry service (100 THB per shared boat) from Railay East Pier to Ao Nam Mao Pier. You will need to self-arrive to Ao Nam Mao before 13:30. We will drop you off there as well as it is the last stop. If you are staying at Centara Grand Resort, you can take the hotel shuttle boat to Ao Nam Mao Pier, from where we can pick you up. A reservation might be necessary.
The best time to visit the 7 Islands is after the rainy season when the waters are calm. This is usually the case between November - March, but weather conditions may vary. You’ll find clear waters during the hot season in April and May, but make sure to bring sunscreen as it can be very hot!
Yes, it is totally safe. They are minuscule animals and swimming with them feels a bit weird at the start. It can give you a bit of a rash sensation on your skin, but that will be gone the moment you get out of the water. The stunning views of the bright blue colors is absolutely worth it.
Yes, young children (2-3 years) are welcome to join this tour. Please note that it may be difficult for very small children to get in and out of the longtail boat, as well as for elderly persons. Unfortunately, we do not recommend nor accept very young children (0-1 years) to join.
The 7 Islands sunset tour will run during rainy days if the water is calm enough. If that is not the case, we will reschedule the trip for a calmer day or refund you the deposit (if any).
Yes. Cancelling or moving your booking to another date is free up to 24 hours before the tour starts, and anything you have paid is refunded in full. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time are non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded. If we have to cancel, for example for weather or safety, you can move to another date or take a full refund.
To keep the ride safe, this tour is not suitable for pregnant women. If that could apply to anyone in your group, contact us before booking and we will help you find a better fit.

The islands were lovely, and the plankton swim was magical. The boat ride back was a bit long.

Great experience! The plankton swim was so unique, but the boat felt crowded. The BBQ was okay.

Wonderful tour overall. The guides were friendly, but the lunch portions could’ve been larger. The plankton was magical!

La verdad no esperábamos gran cosa y lo pasamos muy bien, todo un acierto! Tengo que destacar que íbamos en el barco unas 20 personas eso se agradece porque si no estamos masificados,como nos ha pasado con otros tours. En el barco no había ningún español, eran todos de etnia India, la tripulación, y quizás de alguna etnia diferente. la ruta por las islas está muy bien está cerca de Railey me pareció muy completa nuestro guía que no recuerdo el nombre fue súper amable y nos explicó todo súper bien Las zonas donde hicimos Snorkel nos encantaron había muchos peces y disfrutamos mucho del día por la noche a última hora hicimos lo de la bioluminiscencia que también nos encantó. Fuimos solo cuatro personas las que nos tiramos al mar y genial todo repetiríamos sin ningún tipo de duda

The sunset was beautiful, but the group size was too big. I loved the plankton swim!
