What to expect
Experience the best of the Andaman Sea with the Krabi Sunset team on this premium afternoon-to-evening island odyssey. This tour is perfectly timed to avoid the midday crowds, allowing you to witness the islands transition from sun-drenched tropical playgrounds into a magical, glowing wonderland.
Your journey begins with a stress-free pickup, leading to a swift speedboat crossing to the world-renowned Hong Island group. Spend your afternoon immersed in turquoise waters—whether you choose to snorkel among vibrant coral reefs, paddle a kayak along the coastline, or simply sink into the powdery white sand. For the highlight of the afternoon, take the hike to the island's 360° viewpoint, where you’ll be rewarded with an awe-inspiring panoramic view of the entire limestone archipelago.
As the light begins to soften, we navigate into the "Hidden Lagoon," a serene emerald pool guarded by towering cliffs and ancient mangroves. The adventure continues to the pristine shores of Pakbia and Lading Islands, where a delicious tropical buffet dinner awaits you on the beach. There is nothing quite like savoring a meal with the sea breeze in your hair and the colors of the sunset painting the sky.
The true highlight occurs after dark at Koh Raeng. Here, you’ll have the rare opportunity to dive into a "sea of stars" with an enchanting night swim among bioluminescent plankton. Watch in wonder as the water sparkles with every movement you make. Your day concludes with a relaxing boat ride back to the pier and a smooth transfer home, leaving you with memories that will last a lifetime.

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.
- Speed 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.
