Excursion d'une journée à Hong Islands en bateau rapide depuis Krabi

I would not really recommend this trip, because they don't offer what they promise and you pay an amount of money for less they promise. The 8 hours tour promised is less than 5 hours with lots of waiting time. First, they sent us a message for pick up time at 8:30 - 9:00 am and we were picked at 9:30 am, and we had to call ourselves to ask whether we'd still be picked up. The shuttle was packed with people and there was not seat available in the car. Some of us traveled standing. We were brought to a waiting area at the pier. We had to check in and pay an additional 300 baht/person for the national park. We boarded the last boat from the pier, around 10:20 am. Everything was very crowded. Everytimr they asked people on the boat to be more compact, as everybody to have seat. The lunch was something cold and everybody should find a place on a very crowded beach. After every stop we waited 10-15 minutes for boarding and there were 4 stops. At 2:30 pm we had to be back at the boat, and we arrived back to the So Nang pier around 3: 00pm. We were driven back to the hotel by the same crowded shuttle with not enough places for everybody.

Overall would not really recommend this trip, because you're not getting much for the amount of money paid. The full day promised is more like a few hours of activity with lots of waiting time. First, we were picked up an hour later than was communicated and had to call ourselves to ask whether we'd still be picked up. We were eventually picked up 930am and were brought to a waiting area at the pier. We had to check in and pay an additional 300 baht/person for the national park. We boarded the boat around 1015am. After a 20 min boat ride we got to the first island. We were given 45mins to explore/swim/snorkel, but since the on- and off boarding of the boat takes about 15 mins we only got 30 mins on the island. The snorkeling wasn't great here as there wasn't much to see. Then we headed to the second island, where we also effectively had 30 mins, which included time to eat lunch. There was one lunch for everyone, no separate vegan/vegetarian options despite requesting so. Since we had to wait for lunch there was virtually no time to swim or snorkel before heading back to the boat. The third stop wasn't really a stop, it was just driving through the Hong island lagoon to take pictures. Then the final stop was at the beach on the other side of Hong island. There we had a stop of 1.5 hours. This island was beautiful and the snorkeling here was really good with lots of coral and fish. There were also hiking options. At 230pm we had to be back at the boat, and we arrived back to the So Nang pier around 3pm. We were driven back to the hotel by a shuttle. Good points: - nice and funny tour guide - longer stop at Hong island with good snorkeling Bad points: - expensive for what you get - essentially only a few hours of island exploring and looots of waiting - short stops at first 2 islands, making it feel rushed - no clear communication about pick up time beforehand

We had a wonderful day. Pick up was right on time and the registration process before hoping on the boat was quick and easy. The tour guide and the entire staff were lovely. We had enough time at each of the islands. Water, lunch and fruit were supplied.

An amazing day trip not to be missed. Crew and guide from the boat were great, taking our group of 7 from our hotel, then onto longtail boat for snorkeling session, an island lunch preprepared, lagoon photo oppurtunity, then Hong Island with Crystal clear water, an epic 360 degree view above the canopy and more snorkeling. Well worth the money! back by 4:30pm.

I enjoyed the leisurely tour. The rice, fruit and drinks were good. Snow cooling was a bit cloudy, but I saw a lot of fish. Thank you for contacting us in advance and changing to the next day.

It was fun! recommendation!!! It was so kind and I was late, but it wasn't. The lunch was delicious. Really good

I booked the tour and it said it started at 9. Well, they didn't come to pick us up until 9:20. Then I said that maximum 10 people on the excursion and we were 30 and a half on a boat that had to pass at most 20 people. Then what was a full day tour became 4 and a half hours when it clearly puts tour duration 7 hours. Another detail although this does not make it more or less good is that I left on the boat some snorkeling masks and they stole one and they said that it was no problem to leave our belongings on the boat, but we are not responsible.

Although the pick-up is ten minutes late, it does not affect the whole journey, 20 people are on a speedboat. The boat and the tour guide are also very helpful to take pictures. The time is very good. The scenery on the island is really beautiful. Hong Island is a must, but I am not quite sure why I have to go to two other small islands, haha

This trip is less because of the lack of tourism season. We travel to Hong Island by speed boat. The guides helped us a lot and he can speak 6 languages. The island is very beautiful, white sand beach and a lot of fish. What you should do when snorkeling is do not allow food to fish. There will be staff to call you if you do. Our family is very fun.
