Hong Islands Day Tour and 360 Viewpoint by Longtail Boat From Krabi
Description
Hong Island or Koh Hong archipelago consists of about a dozen islands but most are so tiny that they don’t have beaches of their own but the biggest island has several lovely beaches. Hong Islands have National Park status and will give you a chance to see pristine natural scenery. However, things rarely get crowded here as there’s so much to do. • A day trip to Hong Islands (Lading Island, Pakbia Island, and Hong Lagoon) by a traditional longtail boat, which in the past was used to be a fishing boat according to the lifestyle of local people. • Snorkel in clear waters of a secluded lagoon and explore the islands' abundant marine life. • Leave your worries behind and let a powerful longtail boat take you on an amazing day trip to Krabi's hidden paradise. • Taste a great Thai buffet lunch on the beach and enjoy the convenience of pick-up and drop-off direct from your hotel.

Overall great trip! Good value for money. Very well organised. Guide was great. Lots of time at each stop. Plenty of drinking water provided. Pick up and drop off included. Lunch was good and fruit on afternoon. Morning coffee and snacks while waiting to board boat. Wrist bands made us feel more confident and part of a group as could see other people on your boat. Uniformed staff. Very well organised. All stops were amazing! Definitely do the walk to the 360 viewpoint superb! Only negative- boat was crammed be prepared for this.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the well organized trip, great guide. We appreciate your helpful note and hope to see you on another adventure soon. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-hoo Team
Our second time visiting the Hong Island, the Longtail crew were amazing! The guide joined us snorkelling and showed us where to find the lesser spotted fishes. Even took our camera to the depths to get some amazing footage! Every time we got back on the boat we were given a bottle of water and the food included was an excellent selection of Thai delicacy. Scenery was outstanding, the weather makes this part so if you’re unfortunate for a rough or cloudy day you may not have the same experience. Wouldn’t hesitate to book this again when we return to Krabi.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that your second visit to Hong Island was just as amazing. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back to Krabi for another memorable experience. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team
We had a really fun day even though it started out in a downpour. Honey and Daisy were wonderful leaders and we had a great captain in the challenging conditions. We loved seeing the islands and we took the advice and clibed to the lookout on Hong Island. That was worth it!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted to hear that you had a fun day despite the rainy start. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again for another memorable adventure. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team
This is a good combination of visiting two beautiful islands some distance from Ao Nang and including snorkelling along the way. The lunch on Lao Lading was more than adequate, and the opportunity to gaze on the Andaman Sea from the high level platform on Hong Island provides an unforgettable memory. On the other hand, if you climb to the viewpoint you won't have time to also relax for long on the beach. The melee of customers at the An Nang pier could be better organised - for example, customers for the different destinations and types of boat could initially be seated together so that they hear relevant announcements. The guide should also ensure that all 30 people on the boat can hear and understand announcements during the trip, and some of the life jackets were uncomfortable to wear. But overall a good day out.

Smooth experience sailing between islands. The waters were rough so we couldn't go snorkeling, but that was out of the tour guide's control.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you had a smooth experience sailing between the islands. We appreciate your understanding that this was beyond the guide’s control and we hope to welcome you on another adventure with calmer waters in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
Count that you will be charged 300 bahts more for national park fees and probably 100 bahts more because the hotel is “not on their list”. In the hostels they offer this same tour with included taxes and cheaper. Don't book it here without checking the price at your hotel/hostel.
Estimado cliente, Gracias por compartir su experiencia. Lamentamos cualquier inconveniente causado por los costos adicionales del parque nacional y el servicio de recogida. Entendemos que la transparencia en los precios es clave, y tomaremos en cuenta su comentario para mejorar la comunicación sobre tarifas adicionales antes de la reserva. Apreciamos su consejo y recomendación. Si hay algo más en lo que podamos ayudarle, no dude en contactarnos. Atentamente, Oh-Hoo Travel
The beaches and sights were beautiful. However, we were last to get on the boat and we got the last seats which had no windows to look out at the beautiful scenery. We were told we had to stay in those seats for the whole trip. Also, since we were in the back of the boat we could not hear or understand directions from the leader. Also, it would have been nice to get a very brief information about the area and how it developed. The walk from the boat to the beach was very difficult and this floating dock moved around when walked on. The crowds pushing and shoving did not help. We are giving this a 3 because of the natural beauty.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found the beaches and scenery beautiful, and we appreciate your honest comments regarding the overall experience. We’re sorry to hear that the seating arrangement, limited visibility, and difficulty hearing the tour leader affected your enjoyment of the trip. We understand how important comfort, clear communication, and accessibility are, and your comments will be shared with our team for review and improvement. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the floating dock and crowd conditions. While these can be challenging at busy locations, your observations are valuable as we continue to look for ways to enhance the guest experience. Thank you again for your feedback and for highlighting the natural beauty of the area. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
Great experience, really enjoyed the tour guides attention to detail. Lunch was nice and tasty. All in all a good day.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We’re delighted to hear that you had a great experience and appreciated the tour guide’s attention to detail. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
The Islands were nice… the food was good but very sparse. We were hungry for the rest of the day. They say they’ll email you but they don’t- they WhatsApp and we didn’t get the info in time due to wifi which made our pickup very difficult and we almost missed the bus. They shove you in buses like cattle… it’s a massive travel company, not a small boutique group like we were expecting. Very expensive for the experience.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the islands and found the food tasty, and we’re sorry to learn that other aspects of the experience did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the portion size and for the inconvenience caused by the communication method and timing, particularly as this affected your pickup. We understand how stressful that must have been. We also regret that the group size and transportation did not align with what you were expecting, and that this impacted your perception of value. Your comments are very important to us and will be shared with our team for review, as they help us identify areas where we can improve. Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we’re sorry that this experience fell short of your expectations. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
