1. Hong Island: This island is a home to a long, beautiful beach with views of limestone cliffs and clear, turquoise waters. Hong island is covered with a lot of trees with benches perfect for relaxation 2. 360-Degree Viewpoint: A one-of-a-kind viewpoint (and the only one in Andaman, Thailand) located in Hong Island at a height of 109 meters featuring treetop walkways and a 360-degree view of Hong Island's neighboring islands. An incredible place to see. The tour guide will bring the group to this island and give you enough time to swim, relax and go up to the viewpoint.

Lading Island: Famous for its bay surrounded by cliffs and rich in trees providing comfortable shade against the sun. The tour guide will show you the best places to take photos in this area and give you time to swim, relax and do sightseeing.
Daeng Island: A small island mostly made of red limestone rocks that is surrounded by clear waters where you can go snorkeling to see corals and fishes. The tour guide and the boat crew will anchor the boat around this island and allow everyone to go out to the sea to do snorkeling.

You have to wade through sea up to thighs to get on and off boat. Fast noisy boss full with 30 people . Cannot see out to take photos when travelling. Tight time schedule for snorkelling. On the other hand you did get to experience some other places so not all bad . Lunch and snacks good. Good trip for price.
The boat was extremely overcrowded no space to sit. In addition, the food they served us on the island was the worst buffet served there.
Recommended experience away from the most crowded spots. Beautiful beaches and right times, recommended
Great Experience, memorable excursion The guide and other staff very helpful Good meals provided suitable for us vegetarians!
This Four Hong Islands speedboat tour from Ao Nang was a fantastic way to see some of the most beautiful scenery in the area. The day included stops at Lao Landing, Daeng Island, Hong Lagoon, and Hong Island, each offering something unique — from quiet beaches and dramatic limestone cliffs to crystal-clear lagoons and wide-open island views. The final stop at Hong Island was a highlight, with stunning white sand, turquoise water, and a scenic viewpoint overlooking the surrounding islands that was absolutely worth the climb. Everything was well-organized and smoothly paced, making it easy to relax and enjoy each location without feeling rushed. Big thanks to the crew — Bus, Leo, Mind, and Melon — who were friendly, professional, and made the entire experience even better. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Ao Nang and want to see multiple islands in one unforgettable day.
I booked a snorkel tour to hong island, paid a little extra on here (hoping) the group would be smaller but still got crammed into a speed boat with maybe 35 other tourists. It started pouring rain on our tour (not the tour operators fault he was super nice) but it just wasn’t the same experience we would’ve had if the weather was nicer. The weather here is unpredictable. Maps said it would be sun out and no rain, and it poured all day. We didn’t book other days because maps showed rain, but those days ended up being nice, clear, and sunny. the food provided was Indian food/thai inspired dishes for lunch. Small portions. I thought it tasted really good, and I didn’t get sick. But my husband got extreme food poisoning. Was throwing up all night long- on our way to see the international doctor now. I have a stronger stomach than he does so I was fine. Was it worth it? Not in my case, but 3 stars because our guide was nice.
Fantastic tour, we had Leo as our guide. This guy was born to do this, he went above and beyond especially looking after a fellow guest who hurt her foot. He carried her on and off the boat several times, made sure she got lunch and saw that she was comfortable on the boat. Leo was very informative and gave clear instruction on how much time we had where and when to be back. This comment isn't a negative about the tour itself but I would recommend doing this and other tours in the off peak season.
My wife and I took this tour in the last week of July. The pick up from the hotel was on time and we were dropped off at the assembly point at Ao Nang beach. Here they offered us some snacks, biscuits and a choice of hot beverage. We met our guide Maya before we hopped on to our speed boat for the trip. We headed to Railey beach to pick us some more tourists before heading to our first spot on the tour the Lao landing Island. We felt this was the best island of the lot. There were a lot of colourful fishes in the water and the rock formations were very unique. We spent about 50 mins here before we scooted to our next island with our cheerful guide Maya giving us crisp instructions on the way. Koh Pakbai island, the next stop was a lovely island with a more open and longer shore line. We were on this island for about 1hr and 15 mins and also had lunch here which was included in the tour package. My wife and I were the only vegetarians so we had north Indian food options like chole along with Thai sticky rice and other Thai items. All homely and tasty. Maya and here team were very helpful. Next stop was a lagoon where we just clicked picture without getting off the boat. The final stop was Hong Island which was the largest of the islands. Snorkelling equipment was provided here as we had a 2 hrs stop. We would have preferred the snorkelling equipment at the first island (Lao landing Island) as the water was shallower and the water was not as murky as at Hong Island. We chilled at the island and then headed back to Ao Nang beach and then got dropped off at our hotel. There were small stalls on almost all islands with basic stuff like corn cobs, coconuts and other snack items and drinks available for purchase. Hong Island had proper cafes and wash rooms facilities. All in all, a good day tour. Recommended.
Great value, amazing scenery. One of the best packages I’ve purchased in Thailand. Crew is professional, amicable, and the islands are breathtaking.
Highly recommend this tour from Krabi. Well organised, great staff so friendly and helpful esp ensuring everyone gets in and out of the boat assisted and safely. Plenty of water time and beautiful beaches. Snorkelling was great and their gear was perfect, so no need to bring your own. Snacks, drinks and lunch provided were great. Highlight was walking up for the best views in town, the Hong island nature trail, so worth the climb.
