Itinerary
We'll pick you up from your hotel or villa in Krabi Town, Tub Kaek or Klong Muang between 11:30 - 12:00.
If you are staying in Ao Nang, we'll pick you up between 12:00 - 12:30. From here, we head to Nopparat Thara Pier.
Depending on the boat option you selected and booked for, we'll board either the longtail boat or speedboat at the pier. Put on your life vest and we head off to the Hong Islands from here. If you booked the longtail boat, the ride takes around 40 minutes to the first island. If you booked the speedboat, the ride takes about 20 minutes.
The first stop is Railay, for our customers who are staying here. The boat docks at the meeting point between 12:00 - 12:30.
We visit Hong Island, one of the most beautiful islands close to Ao Nang. It's located in between towering limestone cliffs and is a great place to relax or go swimming.
If you're up for it; you can visit the Hong Island 360-degree viewpoint (419 steps in total). It's quite a walk up and only suitable if you're in good health. The views at the top are worth it though: you'll get a 360-degree view of the islands here.
Through a narrow passage we enter Hong Lagoon. A magical place totally surrounded by limestone cliffs. The water looks emerald green here. A great photo opportunity!
This is the famous tree-filled beach with a swing. From here you have a nice view at neighbouring islands. Depending on the sea and tide conditions, we'll have dinner here or at Pakbia Island.
This rocky island connects to other islands by a beautiful white sandy beach. We have dinner here or at Lao Lading, depending on the sea and tide conditions. Enjoy a tasty BBQ buffet on the beach.
When the sun sets, it's time to head back to a spot close to Ao Nang where you can go swimming with plankton. These little animals light up in the dark, which is a once in a lifetime experience! Swim with plankton that look like thousands of bright blue dots. Please note that the availability depends on tidal and seasonal changes.
At around 18:30, it's time to board the boats one last time to head back to the pier. If you are staying near Railay, the boat will drop you off there.
Our drivers are waiting at the pier to bring you back to your hotel for the return transfer. The Hong Island sunset tour ends here!

For dinner we will serve a mini Thai-style BBQ buffet on the beach. You can enjoy fresh Thai food, meat or seafood. We have vegetarian and halal options available.
Yes you can, our boat will be docking at the meeting point on Railay between 12:00 - 12:30. At the end of the trip we will drop you off at Railay as well.
The longtail boat takes longer to get to the Hong Islands. Travel times are almost double, which means there is less time to spend at the different stops. The speedboat gets there faster but is a more expensive way of traveling.
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 Hong Island 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).
You can cancel your booking for free up until 24 hours in advance of the tour start date. That means you need to cancel no later than 23:59, 2 days before the tour date. We’ll refund you the deposit or you can choose to use it as an advance to a different booking or tour.

This was such a peaceful and magical evening! The sunset was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Swimming with the glowing plankton felt like something out of a dream. Dinner on the beach was fresh and delicious, with local dishes that tasted amazing. The guides were so kind and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. I loved the small group size—it felt very personal and we luckily had a nice group. The speedboat was clean, and the crew was very professional. Everything ran smoothly, from start to finish. This tour was the perfect way to end our trip to Krabi. I can’t recommend it enough!
Che esperienza straordinaria! Il tramonto era spettacolare, con colori che cambiavano ogni minuto. Nuotare con il plancton è stato come vivere in un film. La guida, Mee, era davvero gentile e ha spiegato tutto chiaramente. La cena era semplice ma deliziosa, con frutta fresca e piatti locali. La barca era molto comoda, e il gruppo era piccolo, rendendo tutto più rilassante. Mi è piaciuto che ci fosse abbastanza tempo per godersi ogni fermata. La laguna al tramonto era magica, circondata da alte scogliere. Consiglio vivamente questo tour a chiunque visiti Krabi. Una giornata perfetta!
The sunset was absolutely stunning, but the tour felt a little rushed. Swimming with the plankton was magical, and I wish we had more time in the water. The dinner was fine, but I expected more variety. The guides were friendly and kept everything well-organized. The speedboat ride was smooth, and the scenery was beautiful. The group was a bit too large for my liking. The best part was watching the sunset on the quiet beach—it felt so peaceful. Overall, it was a good experience but could be improved with smaller groups. Still, it’s worth it for the unique plankton swim.
One of the best experiences I’ve ever had! The sunset at Hong Island was breathtaking, with vibrant colors reflecting on the water. The plankton swim was unreal—the glowing water lit up with every movement. Our guide, Dao, shared so many interesting facts about the area. Dinner was served right on the beach, and the fresh fruit was a highlight. The group size was small, making it feel very intimate. The speedboat was clean and comfortable, and everything was on time. I can’t stop thinking about the peaceful boat ride back under the stars. This is a must-do tour in Krabi. I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could!
This tour was incredible! The sunset was a magical experience, with the sky glowing in pink and orange. Swimming with the glowing plankton was like being in a fairy tale. Our guide, Noi, was fantastic and ensured everyone had a great time. The dinner on the beach was simple but so fresh and flavorful. I especially loved the grilled seafood—it was cooked perfectly. The speedboat was modern, and the crew was super attentive. Everything was well-organized, and we had just the right amount of time at each stop. The peaceful atmosphere made it feel so special. I’d recommend this tour to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable evening in Krabi.
