Private Luxury Longtail Boat Island Half-Day Tour in Krabi

What to Expect

A Day on the Water

Your adventure begins with pickup from your hotel in Ao Nang, ensuring you’re ready to set off on a private longtail boat journey. This half-day charter takes you through Krabi’s beautiful waters, guided by an experienced captain and crew who’ll make sure everything runs smoothly. The first stop is Railay Bay, where the dramatic cliffs and unique caves with their natural formations are truly impressive. Spend some time swimming in the clear blue water before heading to your next destination.

Upgrade your tour to a full-day experience for an extended visit to Hong Island or explore four different islands depending on what suits you best. The journey includes stops at several stunning spots, each offering its own unique charm and beauty.

A Glimpse of Hidden Gems

Hong Island is part of the Than Bok Khorani National Park, known for its limestone cliffs and lush greenery. Its beaches are perfect for relaxation with soft white sand underfoot. From there, you’ll visit either Poda Island or Thale Waek. Thale Waek stands out during low tide when a natural sandbar connects three islands, while Poda offers long stretches of pristine beach ideal for unwinding.

Chicken Island is another highlight, named for its unusual rock formation that looks like a chicken’s head. Snorkeling here gives you the chance to explore vibrant coral reefs and marine life—equipment will be provided so you can dive right in. A meal and drink are included as part of your tour, giving you time to refuel before returning.

Must Know Before You Go

Packing Essentials

It’s a good idea to pack extra clothing, along with a towel and waterproof backpack. These items will come in handy if you plan on snorkeling or swimming during the tour.

Important Details to Note

Ao Nang serves as a free pick-up point for this experience. However, guests staying in other areas may need to pay additional fees directly to the boat crew at the time of departure. If your accommodation is located in Ao Nammao, you'll be charged THB 200 for a round-trip hotel transfer. For those in Klong Muang and Tubkeak, the fee increases to THB 400 per person for the same service. Travelers staying near Railay who are heading to Hong Island will also find that their round-trip hotel transfer costs THB 400.

Tips for Visitors

• Plan your booking in advance, especially during peak season, to ensure availability and avoid disappointment.
• Pack extra clothing, a towel, and a waterproof backpack if you intend to snorkel or swim at the islands.
• If staying outside Ao Nang, be prepared for additional transfer fees which must be paid directly to the crew in cash.
• Take advantage of the included meals and drinks during your trip to stay hydrated and energized throughout the tour.
