Itinerary
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 underneath.
Once arrived at the main island, named Koh Hong, start paddling on a sit-on-top kayak with 2 seats around Hong Island and explore the hidden mangrove forest in Hong Lagoon. Here you can swim in the cool turquoise waters and spot a wide array of colorful 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 secrets of the island, from mangrove trees to wild birds, giant lizards, incredible rock formations, and beaches. Relax at the turquoise beach and soak up the scenery - feeling the heat?
The highlight is the recently opened scenic viewpoint with a 360° panorama of the most amazing limestone islands the Andaman Sea has to offer.

- While the monsoon season (roughly May to October) brings increased jellyfish sightings due to water movement, these graceful creatures can appear year-round in the Andaman Sea. To ensure a safe and enjoyable swim, consider asking your tour guide.
- 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.
Traveler reviews
Great!
The crew on the boat was very nice and the tour was well organized. At the first snorkelling stop, I got stung by a jellyfish, but the crew had first aid! I was ok within the hour and could continue snorkelling at other locations. The food was excellent. Q and his friend were very sweet. They accompanied us for kayaking and took fun videos of us.
Disappointing and dishonest experience – avoid Trip Store Krabi - Hong Island in Longtail Boat
I specifically booked a tour with a longtail boat to enjoy a more authentic and peaceful experience. However, at the very last minute, we were told the longtail boat was “broken” and that we had no choice but to go by speedboat instead. This seems to be a common trick used by smaller agencies in Krabi – they pretend the boat is broken just to switch to a speedboat and cram in more people for higher profit. The whole experience felt rushed, crowded, and completely different from what we had chosen and paid for. At the end of the trip, I raised a complaint and requested a partial refund due to the change and overall disappointment, but the staff refused to take any responsibility or offer compensation. I would not recommend booking with Trip Store Krabi – they are not transparent, and you may not get what you paid for.
Average tour but kayaking must do
It was good enough, but if not for the kayaking I probably wouldn’t recommend. Amazing views but tight schedule. The guide that led the kayaking however, went the extra mile. He was so sweet and knowledgeable and really tried to make sure everyone had the best experience.
Wonderful excursion with great guides
Highly enjoyable trip. Beautiful scenery. Sufficient time given for all the stops. Lunch was simple but nice. The guided sea kayaking was a great experience. We were upgraded to a speedboat which was in superb condition and added to the enjoyment of the day. Guides were well organised, knowledgeable and super friendly.
Hong island
An amazing experience beautiful scenery , lunch okay , we added the kayaking which was very good although arms packing next day . The 800 step climb to the 360° summit was well worth the hike
