Description

A day in Phang Nga Bay and the Hong Islands on one speedboat, covering the two most photographed pieces of coastline in southern Thailand. It is the longest crossing we run from Ao Nang and the most expensive day tour on the site, and both facts come from the same thing: Phang Nga Bay is a long way north and worth the trip.

    Packed day but worth it. James Bond Island is surreal, the rock formation looks exactly like the movie. Lunch at the floating village was a nice touch, very different from the usual tourist lunches. Afternoon at Hong Islands was the perfect way to end the day.

    Nice day, lots of stops. Just a long day, you need to be ready for early start and late return. Everything else was good.

    Une journée incroyable. The floating village at Koh Panyee was unexpected and really interesting, the kids loved seeing how people live on the water. Hong Island in the afternoon was beautiful.

    Great day out. The floating village was the most unique part and the lunch was authentic. Worth every rupee.

  1. 07:45

    Hotel pickup from Krabi Town and Klong Muang

    The furthest areas are collected first. We confirm your exact time the evening before.

  2. Collected from your hotel lobby.

  3. Guests staying in Railay join at the floating pier.

  4. Check in and safety briefing, then the run north into the bay.

  5. A local paddler takes you through the limestone sea caves and mangrove channels. You ride rather than paddle.

  6. Time ashore for photographs of the Ko Ta Pu rock. The busiest stop of the day, kept short on purpose.

  7. Lunch in the stilt village built over the water against the cliff.

  8. Back south to the Hong Islands for the enclosed lagoon, the beach and a swim in clearer water.

  9. The run back and the minibus home, usually arriving between 17:00 and 17:30.

Your exact pickup time depends on your area and departure time. You'll see it at checkout and we confirm it with your booking.

More sightseeing and less swimming than the Hong Islands tours. The morning is about scenery, caves and a village; the swimming comes later in the day.

James Bond Island is busy and the stop is short by design. The sea cave canoeing and Koh Panyee are the parts most guests talk about afterwards.

Koh Panyee is a working village and a mosque community, so shoulders and knees covered is the respectful choice for the lunch stop.

FAQs

No. The Than Bok Khorani National Park entry fee is paid at the islands and is not part of the tour price. It is 300 baht per adult and 150 baht per child aged 4 to 11, in cash. Bring it with you: there is no card machine at the park and no ATM on the islands.

No. You book online and pay on the day of the tour, so nothing is charged when you reserve your seats. Bring cash for the tour price and for the national park fee if it is not already included.

You stop at Khao Phing Kan and see the Ko Ta Pu rock that the film made famous, with time ashore for photographs. It is the busiest stop of the day, so the visit is deliberately kept short and the rest of the day is spent in quieter water.

It is the longest crossing we run from Ao Nang, which is why this is a nine-hour day and costs more than the Hong Islands tours. You are in Phang Nga Bay for the morning, including the sea cave canoeing and the village lunch at Koh Panyee, and back in the Hong Islands area later.

Yes. A local paddler takes you through the Lod cave and the mangrove channels, so you sit in the canoe rather than paddling yourself. It is the calmest part of the day and works for all ages.

Pickup is from your hotel and it is included from Krabi Town, Klong Muang, Ao Nang and the Railay East floating pier, from 07:45 depending on your area. Give us your hotel name and room number when you book and we send the exact time the day before. If you are staying outside those areas, message us before booking and we will tell you whether we can reach you.

Yes. Children aged 4 to 11 pay 2,995 baht and infants aged under 4 travel free. Life vests come in child sizes, the beaches are shallow and calm, and an adult must travel with every child. Bring a hat, a rash vest and reef-safe sunscreen: the boat has shade but the beaches have very little.

No. Life vests are provided and worn in the water at every stop, and the guide stays with the group. The beaches at Pakbia and Hong Island shelve gently, so non-swimmers and small children can stand in the shallows.

Yes. The Thai-style lunch has halal and vegetarian options, and we can work around most allergies. Tell us when you book, or message us afterwards, so the kitchen has it in writing before the day.

The tour runs in light rain, which is common and passes quickly. The decision that matters is the sea state, not the sky: if the port authority closes the pier or the captain judges the crossing unsafe, we contact you to move the tour to another date or refund you in full. We never send a boat out in conditions we would not take our own families out in.

Swimwear worn under your clothes, a towel, a hat, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, and cash for the park fee and anything you buy on the day. Mask, snorkel and life vest are provided. A dry bag is worth having: longtail boats take spray, and phones and cameras are the things people lose.

Yes. Cancelling or moving your booking to another date is free up to 24 hours before the tour starts, and anything you have paid is refunded in full. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time are non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded. If we have to cancel, for example for weather or safety, you can move to another date or take a full refund.

To keep the ride safe, this tour is not suitable for pregnant women. If that could apply to anyone in your group, contact us before booking and we will help you find a better fit.

    This was an amazing tour! Very long day but well worth it!! The weather gods turned it on which was lucky.. All our stops were simply breathtaking.. Phi Phi islands, Maya Bay, Bamboo island. We had perfect amount of times spent at each.. the waters were crystal clear and a great temperature. Lovely buffet lunch. Definitely swim and snorkel! Then we went onto the afternoon sunset tour on Poda Island which was stunning.. BBQ dinner and sat on the beach for the sunset! Lastly swimming with the bioluminescent plankton which was very cool to see! What a day and it’s great value for money! Highly recommend:) Tour guide Nadia was very funny and she was awesome. Ming was also very cool and helpful! Thank you!!

    Fantastic Hong Islands trip on the speedboat—fast, smooth, and well-organized Rating: 5 / 5 Stars (or your preferred rating) Pros: Speedboat Advantage: Taking the speedboat got us out to the Hong Islands quickly and comfortably, leaving plenty of time on the beach and in the water instead of wasting time in transit. Incredible Scenery: Hong Island, the emerald lagoon, and the surrounding limestone karst islands are stunning. The 360° viewpoint climb is a workout, but the panoramic views at the top are worth every step. Great Tour Crew: The Krabi Sunset Tours team was well-organized, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly from hotel pickup to drop-off. Beating the Morning Crowds: The schedule worked out great for enjoying the beaches without the heavy peak-morning crowds. Cons: Steep Steps to Viewpoint: The climb to the 360° viewpoint is hot and steep, so proper shoes/sandals (not flimsy flip-flops) are recommended. Summary: A top-notch island tour in Krabi. The speedboat makes the journey effortless, the sights are world-class, and Krabi Sunset Tours delivered a seamless, memorable day. Highly recommended!

    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

  • Wilfred Bouw

    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!
