What to expect
Start the day trip with a hotel pickup service in Krabi in the morning. Undergo a short health check-up by the crew of Krabi Sunset Tours at Nopparat Thara Pier in Ao Nang. Hop aboard the traditional longtail boat with your fellow explorers and head over to the Hong Island group. Make a short stopover at Koh Daeng (Red Island) for open sea snorkeling with very clear water and a coral reef under the sea.
Cruise further to the main island, Koh Hong, and enjoy more snorkeling in the cool turquoise waters where you can spot a wide array of colourful fish and other marine animals. Enjoy a yummy, fresh made Thai style buffet lunch directly at the beach.
Then spend a leisurely day exploring the main island, named Koh Hong, from mangrove trees to wild birds, giant lizards, incredible rock formations, and beaches. Relax on the sundeck and soak up the scenery. Feeling the heat? Then jump from the boat into the refreshing, hidden lagoon. The highlight is the recently opened scenic viewpoint with a 360° panorama of the most amazing limestone islands the Andaman Sea has to offer.
At approximately 15:00 get brought back to the pier and to your hotel with lasting memories from this unspoilt paradise.

Important Information
- Bring a towel, waterproof bag, swimwear, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, flip flops and a camera.
- During certain seasons, jellyfish may be present in the Andaman Sea, and contact can cause skin irritation or discomfort. To minimize the risk, we recommend wearing protective clothing such as watershoes and long swimwear when swimming.
- Ensuring your safety is our top priority. To that end, we strongly recommend wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkeling.
- Longtail boats navigate close to the shoreline, allowing passengers a convenient and effortless transition to the beach.
- While flip-flops are convenient, water shoes offer better protection against sharp objects like shells or rocks on the sand, and provide improved traction on wet surfaces.
- Shorts are ideal as they dry quickly and allow for greater freedom of movement, especially if the water level reaches above your knees when getting on or off the boat.
- This tour is not recommended for pregnant women, infants under 2 years or people with back or neck problems.
