Beyond our expectations

This tour was such an amazing experience for my whole group. We loved the crew and felt so cared for and safe the whole time. Michael, the captain, took his time to get to know all of the guests and made sure everyone understood the instructions for each stop. We enjoyed the snorkeling most of all and saw many beautiful and colorful fish. Many other guests enjoyed the paddle boarding and Michael was out there with them on his board making sure each guest made it back safely. We all had fun climbing up to the top of the boat and jumping into the water. Dinner was delicious and he had snacks out throughout the day.. The cherry on top was getting to float around with the bioluminescent plankton at the very end. You won’t regret booking this tour!

Sit on the roof!

Krabi Sunset Dinner Cruise was the highlight of our trip to Thailand. Michael and Lela were wonderful hosts - charming, funny, sweet, and informative. There was ample seating on the boat and we were very comfortable. The cushions at the front of the boat were some of the best seats in the house, and we especially loved the views and vibe from the rooftop. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the crew made sure that we were never hungry or thirsty. They offered us drinks, including free sodas and juices, anytime our hands were empty, and brought out bowls of chips, fresh fruit, and other snacks between stops. The dinner was top notch and there was plenty of food for everyone. The snorkeling was amazing, the fish were beautiful, and the crew made sure that we were comfortable using the equipment and that it was working well for us. There was plenty of time at each stop to snorkel, swim, paddleboard, kayak, and jump off the rooftop to our heart’s content. At one brief point, we noted a nearby competitor’s boat passing by, and their very loud generator - which made us especially appreciative that our boat was well-equipped with battery power and didn’t need a generator. The music on the boat added a light, fun vibe and enhanced the incredible ambience of spectacular views. Thank you to Michael and Krabi Sunset Cruises for the incredible memories!

A Fun Trip for Water Lovers

This was a great day. Michael, our guide was there to meet us at the appointed time and we went immediately to join the boat. We had a variety of snorkel stops and once he had leaned what my husband was looking for, one of the crew scouted for him from a paddle board, pointing the way to items of interest. The atmosphere on the boat was very relaxed and we quickly made friends with other guests from different countries. Drinks were readily available when needed and after the sun had set we had quite a party atmosphere going. The crew were friendly and helpful- a most enjoyable day.

Amazing Krabi experience

We booked the Sunset Cruise in Krabi and it was a highlight of our trip. Great value and a fantastic way to explore the stunning limestone cliffs and islands as the sun sets over the Andaman Sea. It’s the kind of experience that feels special any time you’re in Krabi, whether you’re visiting for a short stay or a longer holiday. The crew went above and beyond, providing delicious food and refreshing drinks throughout the trip, and making sure everyone felt comfortable and looked after. Our kids especially loved swimming and snorkelling in the warm, clear waters, and there was plenty of time to relax, take in the scenery, and snap photos. The whole experience was well organised, safe, and incredibly welcoming. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Krabi.

Operator response

An unforgettable day! 🚤 🏴‍☠️ ❤️

We had the most incredible day with Michael and the crew from Krabi Sunset Cruises aboard their beautiful pirate boat. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The day was wonderfully relaxed, with plenty of opportunities to snorkel, paddleboard, swim, and even jump off the side of the boat into the crystal-clear water. Every moment felt effortless and fun. What really made the experience stand out was the crew. They have mastered the perfect balance of creating a laid-back, comfortable atmosphere while making sure everyone feels safe and well looked after. Nothing ever felt rushed, and their friendliness and professionalism made the whole trip even more special. Without a doubt, this was a one-in-a-million experience and one of the highlights of our time in Thailand. If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, I can’t recommend Krabi Sunset Cruises highly enough!

Solo Traveler that doesn't know how to swim

Amazing onboard experience and meet so many friendly folks along the way. All fun!!! Myself, not idea how to swim, but the team paddle-boarded me to shore, then helped me snorkel, as much as my nerves allowed from shore! Overall, hospitality 10/10. Great experience and highly recommend for solo, groups, and all!

Operator response

Thank you, Deep, for sharing your time on-board with us! We're so glad our team could accommodate you and make your trip enjoyable even without swimming skills. It’s fantastic to hear you felt comfortable and supported onboard and during snorkeling around the 4 islands in Krabi. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure soon!

One of our favorite outings in Thailand!

We had a great time from start to finish. Would highly recommend this outing! The meeting place was clear, onboarding was smooth, food was delicious, swimming and knowledge of the guides was top notch. There were the perfect amount of people. Not too crowded, and we went to some great snorkeling spots. Definitely worth while!

Best island tour around....

These guys are amazing. The vibe is exactly what I wanted. Unlike the speedboat tours and excursions, Michael and team have curated a relaxing and therapeutic experience that lets you soak up the beauty of Thailand and the amazing sunsets. The fun factor for this experience is off-the-charts....jump off the roof - it's the way to go! Thank you Michael and team - we will definitely be back.

Operator response

Thank you, Chris, for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the relaxed and fun vibe we aim to provide. Jumping off the roof sure is a highlight! We'd be delighted to welcome you back for another sunset adventure. The Krabi Sunset Cruises team

Exceeded expectations - truly a gem of an experience!!!

I meant to write a review a while back, but it just got away from me. But I wanted to make sure I let everyone know how awesome this experience was with Michael. Every detail about this excursion exceeded my expectations. The food, the friendliness, the cleanliness, the safety, the cool boat, the amazing snorkeling, the paddle boarding, the best sunset on an island I’ve ever seen. I seriously had the best time with my mom and brother on this and would recommend to any group, couple, solo person, etc. I was so grateful my mom found this and booked it because it was the highlight of my trip.

Operator response

Thank you, Heidi, for your wonderful feedback on our 4 island cruise! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had such an extraordinary time, enjoying all the activities and the stunning sunset. Your kind words mean a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back on board for more adventures! The Krabi Sunset Cruises team
