About this 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.
Please note: This is the Hong Islands route (Daeng, Hong, Lao Lading & Hong Lagoon) inside Than Bok Khorani National Park — not the classic 4 Islands (Chicken/Poda/Tup/Phra Nang). The national park fee is already included. Pickup time is confirmed the day before. Timings are approximate and adjust to the day's tide and weather; if the marine authorities close the sea for bad weather, we reschedule or give a full refund.

Quick tips for your trip
- Best season: November to April is the dry, sunny season and the best time to go. May to October is the green (rainy) season and tours are weather-dependent.
- What to bring: swimwear worn under your clothes, a change of clothes, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, hat & sunglasses, a waterproof pouch for your phone, some cash, and a copy of your passport/ID.
- National park fee: your tour runs inside Than Bok Khorani National Park (300 THB adult / ~150 THB child). With us it is already included — no extra cash needed at the pier.
- Speed boat or long-tail? Speed boat is faster (~30 min) and better for limited time; long-tail is slower, scenic and classic. Tell us your group and we'll advise. The viewpoint climb is optional, so elders can relax on the beach.
- Facilities: Hong Island and Lao Lading have restrooms and small shops; the islands are uninhabited national park land, so please pack out what you bring in.

Frequently asked questions
-
Is this the same as the famous Krabi 4 Islands tour (Chicken, Poda, Tup, Phra Nang)?
No — this is the Hong Islands route (Daeng, Hong, Lao Lading & Hong Lagoon), inside Than Bok Khorani National Park. It is written to capture the popular "4 Islands" search, but you visit the Hong group. If you prefer the classic 4 Islands tour, we can arrange that too — just ask us on WhatsApp.
-
Is vegetarian / Jain food available?
Yes — the beach buffet lunch can be pure vegetarian, and Jain (no onion / no garlic) with advance notice. Let us know your preference when you book.
-
I can't swim — can I still enjoy it?
Yes. Life jackets are provided and the bays are calm; snorkelling is optional. Many non-swimmers simply relax on the beaches and enjoy the scenery.
-
Is the national park fee included?
Yes — the 300 THB Than Bok Khorani national park fee is included in the price. Most operators charge it extra at the pier, so there is no surprise cost on the day.
-
Is it good for families, kids and elderly parents?
Yes — it is family-friendly, and the 360° viewpoint climb is optional, so elders can relax on the beach while others hike. Non-swimmers are welcome with life jackets. It is not recommended for pregnant women, infants under 1 year, or anyone with a serious heart or back condition.
-
Which areas do you pick up from, and when?
We pick up from Ao Nang, Krabi Town, Klong Muang and nearby areas. Your exact pickup time is confirmed the day before your tour.
