    This tour was everything we hoped for! The lagoon at Hong Island was magical, with turquoise water and towering cliffs. Snorkeling was amazing, and the water was so clear. Lunch was simple but fresh and tasty. The speedboat was fast and comfortable, with plenty of shade. A perfect way to spend the day in Krabi!

    Beautiful places, but I wish we had more time at each stop. The lagoon was magical, though.

    What a fantastic experience! The Hong Islands are so beautiful, and the snorkeling was great fun. Our guide, Bee, was friendly and organized. Lunch on the beach was delicious, with fresh fruit and Thai dishes. The speedboat ride was smooth and quick. I’d recommend this to anyone visiting Krabi!

  5. One of the stops is Lao Lading Island, also known as Paradise Island. This is a perfect spot for swimming or snorkeling. You might even see the local birds’ nest collectors.

The Hong Islands tour is a wonderful day out for young and old. Children can enjoy the shallow waters, play with the sand or go snorkeling. If you feel fit, it's a nice but very steep walk up to the viewpoint. From there you will have an amazing bird's eye view of all the islands. Kayaking can be added to the booking and happens at Hong Island. A maximum of 2 persons per kayak can join the trip, which is not difficult to do and suitable for all ages.

FAQs

For lunch we prepare a Thai-style lunch buffet for you. Vegetarian and halal options are available, please let us know during checkout if you have special dietary wishes.

We can pick you up from Ao Nam Mao pier, which is the first stop coming from Railay by longtail boat. On the way back, you can take one of the longtail transfer boats back to Railay (not included in the price).

No, you cannot. The movement from the speedboat may be harmful for your unborn child. That's why we don't allow pregnant women to board.

The viewpoint is a long steep climb up 400 steps and is definitely not suitable for everyone. If you're young and in good health, it shouldn't be a problem. For young children and older or sick persons, the climb up will be too difficult.

    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!

  • Henri Baumgärtner

    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.

  • Jimmy De groof

    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

  • Wilfred Bouw

    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!

  • Gérard Michaud

    Très bonne organisation, guide efficace. Découverte des îles mais tour limité qui laisse de la place pour le snorkeling. Bon repas.
