There's something genuinely special about gliding across the Andaman Sea on a traditional longtail boat, heading toward one of the most beautiful island clusters in all of Thailand. The Hong Islands sit just 20 minutes from Ao Nang, but once you arrive, it feels like an entirely different world. Towering limestone cliffs, emerald-green waters, and near-empty beaches make this one of those days you'll talk about long after you leave Krabi.

What a day. The longtail is slow in the best way, you get to really soak in the scenery on the way out. Captain Niran was lovely, even stopped so we could get photos of the cliffs on the way in. Lagoon was quiet when we got there and the beach at Hong Island was the nicest we've seen in Krabi.

Beautiful ocean, very friendly staff. Lunch was good and the islands are very beautiful. Thank you Captain Tee, you made our day.

Magic day out, the lagoon is unreal. Bring cash for the park fees, they weren't mentioned when we booked.
- IIrena K.Mar 2026·Verified customer★★★★★
Good day. Boat was clean and captain was friendly. The sea was a bit choppy on the way back but that's not the tour's fault.
- MMatthias K.Mar 2026·Verified customer★★★★★
Perfect organization from pickup to dropoff. Lunch was plenty and actually good, not the usual cold rice you get on other tours. Highly recommend.
