Hong Islands, KrabiFull Day

An evening trip around the Hong Islands: Hong Island and its lagoon, the 360-degree viewpoint, Pakbia and Lao Lading Islands, a snorkelling stop, sunset, a halal mini-buffet BBQ dinner and bioluminescent plankton when conditions allow. Three boat options are available; national park fees are not included.

About this tour

Enjoy an evening journey around the Hong Islands and their neighbouring sights, with a choice of speedboat catamaran, speedboat or traditional longtail boat. The stop order is not fixed and may change with weather, sea and tide conditions.

You visit Hong Island, surrounded by limestone cliffs, tropical trees and clear water, where you can swim and relax on the beach, with the chance to climb to the 360-degree viewpoint, about 109 metres high, along elevated treetop walkways. You also explore Hong Lagoon, a shallow natural area enclosed by limestone cliffs and mangroves. The trip continues to Pakbia Island, whose sandbar may connect it to a neighbouring island at low tide, and to Lao Lading Island with its tree-lined beach, plus one snorkelling stop at Daeng Island or Laem Ka depending on the day's conditions.

You watch the sunset from Pakbia Island or Koh Rai, and a halal mini-buffet BBQ dinner is served with vegetarian options and fresh fruit. After dark, the boat heads to a spot near Ao Nang Beach for a chance to swim among bioluminescent plankton.

Good to know

Safety & health

The stop order is not fixed, and the itinerary may change because of weather, sea or tide conditions. Snorkelling, sunset and dinner locations are chosen according to the day's conditions, and access to Hong Lagoon and the sandbar depends on the tide.

Bioluminescent plankton is a natural phenomenon that depends on weather, moon phase, tide and water clarity; its visibility cannot be guaranteed.

Accessibility

The programme may involve boarding and leaving the boat, walking across beaches, sand and uneven surfaces, climbing stairs to reach the viewpoint, and swimming and snorkelling for participating guests. Guests who do not wish to climb to the viewpoint may remain in the permitted area of the island, following the guide's instructions.
