Outstanding experience. Went on a traditional boat tour to hong island and we ended up with a fantastic guide and only 2 others on our boat. Only thing you could „complain“ about is that there will be other boats from other company’s too and it might get crowded.

We hadden een fantastische 4 eilanden tour gehad. Met een goede gids. Onze kinderen hebben van de speedboat genoten en het eiland hoppen. Alles liep zeer vlot en was prachtig verlopen

Het was een zeer goed verzorgde excursie, vanaf het oppikken bij het hotel, tot aan de boot tot aan het eten, alles was netjes geregeld.. Absolute topdag gehad en een echte aanrader!

Très bonne organisation, guide efficace. Découverte des îles mais tour limité qui laisse de la place pour le snorkeling. Bon repas.

We had a lovely day on this snorkelling tour. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and made everyone feel welcome, and the boat itself was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, the visibility wasn't great due to the weather, which was outside the crew's control, so we weren't able to experience the reef at its best. My only suggestion would be to stop at a beach for lunch if conditions allow. Eating on the moving boat made me quite seasick, and I ended up feeling very unwell for the rest of the trip home and could not eat lunch. Despite that, the staff did a great job, and I appreciate their efforts in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

Koh Hong is only accessible by boat, there's no public ferry service. All visitors arrive via an organised tour from Krabi or Ao Nang. Here's how the logistics work.

The main departure point for Koh Hong tours is Klong Jiilad Pier in Krabi Town. Most tours depart between 07:00 and 08:30. The journey takes around 30 minutes by speedboat or 50 minutes by longtail. If you're staying in Krabi Town, hotel pickup is included on all our tours.
Ao Nang is slightly closer to the islands. Our tours include pickup from Ao Nang hotels and most guesthouses. Departure is typically 07:30. The speedboat from Ao Nang takes about 20 minutes. By longtail it’s around 40 minutes.
We offer a dedicated Phuket day trip that includes a minivan transfer from your Phuket hotel to Krabi pier and back. Early start required, usually 05:30, but the islands are very much worth it.
No. The islands are inside a national park and all boats require a licence to enter the area. You must join an organised tour, you cannot hire a private longboat independently and sail there yourself.
