Itinerary

We’ll meet you at your hotel, villa or pickup point. If you are staying in Krabi Town, Klong Muang, or Tub Kaek, we'll pick you up between 07:30 - 08:00.

If you are in Ao Nang, we will pick you up between 08:00 - 09:00.

We arrive at the pier and board the longtail boat at Nopparat Thara. Put on a life vest and let's start the Hong Islands Tour by Longtail Boat here!

After putting on your life vest we board the longtail boat for the 20-minute boat ride to Hong Island. On arrival you can enjoy the beach and the crystal-clear waters for some snorkeling (mask & snorkel provided) and swimming. If you are up for the challenge, climb up to the 360-degree viewpoint (419 steps in total)!

We take the longtail boat to Hong Lagoon, a bay enclosed by large limestone rocks. We can only go in through a narrow entrance. In here you can take some photos or jump off the boat into the water to cool down.

We head to a small island called Lao Lading. The island has one small stretch of beach where you can relax and enjoy a tasty Thai lunch (halal options available). Take it easy and enjoy the beautiful beach here.

The next stop is Pakbia. This larger island is the best spot for photos, as it looks quite idyllic. 2 large rocks with a narrow opening that leads to a long stretch of beach. Be sure to bring your camera here and enjoy the white sand and clear waters.

The next stop is only possible during optimal weather conditions: Rai Island. When the tide and weather are good, we make a short stop here to enjoy this deserted island. If a stop is not possible here, we stay at Pakbia Island a bit longer.

At around 15:00, it's time to board the longtail boat for the last time. We take a 20-minute boat ride back to the pier.

Our drivers will be waiting for you upon your return to the pier. The return transfer to your hotel should take 15 minutes if you are staying in Ao Nang, or maximum 45 minutes if you are further away.

For lunch you can expect a delicious Thai-style buffet. You’ll have several (halal) choices like a curry, Pad Thai, stir fried, chicken & eggs. Halal options are available. If you have any specific food allergies, please let us know prior to booking this tour.

The best time to visit Hong Islands is after the rainy season and when the waters are calm. This is usually the case between November - March. Weather conditions may vary during the rest of the year. You’ll find clear waters during the hot season in March, April, and May, but make sure to bring sunscreen as it can be very hot! The speedboat is equipped with a sun cover.

Absolutely. If you are coming with children between 3-11, they will easily be able to get out of the boat themselves. When your children are younger it might be better to book a speedboat tour, as they are more comfortable and easier to get in and out of. The Hong islands are close to the mainland, which means it's just a short boat ride away. The kids will love the snorkeling and swimming.

The boats will go out during the rain as well, as it is hard to avoid rain in a tropical country. Of course safety comes first: if the waves are too high to go out safely, we will postpone the trip to another day. The tour operator makes that final decision.

You can cancel your booking for free up until 24 hours in advance of the tour start date, no questions asked. We’ll refund you the deposit or you can choose to use it as an advance to a different booking or tour.
