Hong Island is known for its crystal-clear waters and beautiful white, sandy beach. If you didn't pre-book dinner with us, you can check out some local restaurants here. Swimming is nice here too.
If you are up for the challenge: make the climb up to the viewpoint (419 steps in total) for some amazing 360-degree views of the islands!
One of the stops of the private Hong Island tour is Hong Lagoon. A narrow entrance between limestone rocks leads to a beautiful saltwater pool, surrounded by rock formations. You can jump from the boat here and enjoy swimming. An amazing photo opportunity here!
This island is known for its narrow entry to a beach that is covered by trees and surrounded by rock formations. The swing is a famous sight here. Enjoy the beach and go swimming here. Depending on the sea and tide conditions, we'll have the sunset BBQ dinner here or at Pakbia Island. You can add the BBQ for an extra THB 200/person.
Pakbia is a small island that is nice for swimming. We make a stop here during the private Hong island tour. An extra stop at Rai island is possible if the weather conditions (waves and tide) are right. We'll serve dinner here or at Lao Lading, depending on the sea and tide conditions. Enjoy a tasty BBQ buffet on the beach. You can add the BBQ for an extra THB 200/person.
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 19:00, it's time to head back. Our private longtail boat will take you back to the pier.

Unfortunately you can't. The longtail boats can be unstable when the wind is strong. The movements are not suitable for an unborn child, therefore we don't allow pregnant women on board.
The best time to visit the Hong Islands is just after the rainy season, which ends in November. Temperatures are pleasant during the months November - March, and the seas are usually calm. The blue skies are perfect for photo opportunities during these months.
Absolutely! The Hong Islands are not too far away from Ao Nang (20 minutes by longtail boat), and there is enough to see and do on the way. Your children will love snorkeling and playing in the shallow waters on the beach. We think that this is one of the best private tours to do with kids while staying in Krabi.
