Krabi Hong Islands Tour

The Krabi Hong Islands Tour explores one of the most beautiful corners of the Krabi coastline — a cluster of dramatic limestone karst islands protected inside Than Bok Khorani National Park. In one relaxed day you'll snorkel over living coral at Daeng Island, sail into the hidden emerald Hong Lagoon, swing over turquoise water at Lao Lading "Paradise" Island, and — if you're up for it — climb to a jaw-dropping 360° viewpoint above Hong Island.

Choose the option that suits your group: a speedboat for a faster, cover-more-in-a-day trip, or a traditional long-tail boat for a slower, scenic, classic-Thai experience. Either way, hotel pickup & drop, a buffet lunch on the beach, and the national park fee are all included — so there are no surprise costs on the day.

The islands you'll visit

• Daeng Island (Red Island) — snorkelling. A small red-limestone island surrounded by clear water, healthy coral and schools of tropical fish. Your first splash of the day and one of the best snorkelling stops near Krabi.
• Hong Island & 360° Viewpoint. The star of the archipelago — relax on soft white sand and swim in the calm turquoise bay, or climb the shaded jungle trail to the viewpoint where the whole Hong Islands group and the open Andaman Sea spread out beneath you. The climb is optional; plenty of guests simply enjoy the beach.
• Lao Lading Island — "Paradise Island". A tiny, postcard-perfect cove with fine sand and the famous beach-swing photo spot. This is where you'll stop for your buffet lunch and fresh seasonal fruit.
• Hong Lagoon. The grand finale — a hidden lagoon reached through a narrow gap in the cliffs, completely surrounded by soaring limestone karsts and mangroves. Calm, sheltered and unforgettable.

Choose your package

Both boat options cover the same Hong Islands route with lunch, hotel transfer and the national park fee included:

• By Speed Boat — faster (~30-minute crossing) and covers more of the day in comfort; ideal if your time in Krabi is limited.
• By Long-tail Boat — slower, scenic and close to the water for the classic Thai experience, at an easy budget.
• 7 Island Tour (Speed Boat) — a longer speedboat itinerary that adds more island stops for travellers who want to see as much of the Krabi archipelago as possible in one day.

Not sure which to pick? Message us your group details (kids, elders, time in Krabi) and we'll recommend the right one.

Who it suits

Perfect for families, couples, honeymooners and first-time island-hoppers. Non-swimmers are welcome — life jackets are provided and the bays are calm. It is not recommended for pregnant women, infants under 1 year, or anyone with a serious heart or back condition, as it involves an open-sea boat ride. The exact order of stops may change on the day with the tide and sea conditions — this is normal in Krabi and helps you avoid the crowds.
