“Sophia was a great host. The boat was super roomy for the 11 people. We stopped to look at the beautiful spots and we got to the snorkel spot before it was too crowded and saw so many fish. The beach was lovely to relax and chill before heading back. Was a perfect experience for us who didn’t want to get off at every island and didn’t want to spend the whole day doing an excursion.”

6.Krabi: Hong Islands Snorkeling with Lunch by Longtail Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 63 reviews · 6h 30m · from $54

Leave Ao Nang at 8:30 AM for Hong Island, Koh Pakbia, and Koh Lahding by longtail boat or speedboat. You’ll enter Hong’s emerald lagoon, swim among tropical fish, climb to a striking viewpoint if time allows, and eat lunch on the beach.

“Het was een geweldige activiteit.. Wel een aanrader om met de speedboot te gaan i.p.v. longtail boot! Schitterende stops en een uitstekende lunch box.. perfect geregeld als je zoals ons alles lust! Bovendien was onze gids Miriam een professionele en zeer goed Engels sprekende dame die met passie vertelde over alles wat we onderweg tegen kwamen. Trip had iets langer mogen duren maar dat was omdat de laatste stop het ultieme PARADIJS was en wij naar het geweldige uitzicht punt geklommen waren waardoor we iets minder tijd op het strand en in het water hadden.. Natuurlijk was het ook wel wat druk op sommige momenten maar het is nog steeds…”

7.Krabi: 7 Islands Sunset by Longtail Boat with Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 46 reviews · from $40

Spend an afternoon and evening aboard a longtail boat from Ao Nang, snorkeling at Yawasam and Tang Ming, photographing Chicken Island, and walking the sandbar at Tup and Mor Islands. You’ll eat a Thai buffet at sunset on Poda Island, then swim among bioluminescent plankton near Koh Raeng. Guide Daisy has earned praise for her friendly, helpful approach.

“It was good, we bought dinner and when we arrived on the island there was some confusion because they weren't sure if we could have dinner or not. The company got confused, we had to show the voucher, but they still restricted us to the vegetarian buffet. We couldn't resolve the issue. Other than that, I recommend motion sickness medication because it's many hours on the boat. If I were to do it again, I would take the private tour because there are many people, it's many hours, and it's a little tiring.”

8.Krabi: Hong Island Sunset Tour w/ Beach Dinner+Night Snorkel

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 41 reviews · 7 hours · from $63

Spend seven hours exploring the Koh Hong Archipelago by longtail boat. Swim and snorkel at white sand beaches, cruise through Hong Lagoon, climb to a 360° viewpoint, eat a Thai buffet at sunset, then look for bioluminescent plankton at Koh Raeng. Hotel pickup, equipment, fruit, water, and an English-speaking guide are included.

“DO NOT BOOK THIS TRIP. USE ANOTHER COMPANY. They got us to the viewpoint at 5.30pm when the viewpoint closed at 4.30pm. So we were denied access to the viewpoint and still had to pay the 300 baht fee. We also paid for kayaking and there was no kayaking. The tour guide could not speak English. They also took food off our plate because they didn’t have enough. They were driving the boat recklessly on the way home and we almost capsized us. There is a reason they don’t have many reviews. Stay away from this company.”
