The Amazing Sights of Hong Island’s Dramatic Setting

Towering limestone rock formations.

The distinctive limestone karsts are the focal point as you first set eyes on Hong Island. These amazing rock formations and limestone cliffs create the most idyllic and picturesque backdrop to this small tropical island.

Hong island beach

The Hong Islands Boast Beautiful Beaches

The beaches and coves are perfectly dotted around the scenic rock formations of the island.

The main beach and bay, Pelay Beach, is a classic white sandy beach. Set against the karsts and tree covered cliffs, with the shore adorned with exquisite tones of sea blues and greens.

It is the perfect spot for some scenic sunbathing, a swim, and perhaps dig into our delectable picnic buffet lunch specially prepared for you, on this beautiful beach.

As you explore the island, you will come across other small beach, bay, and inlet areas of astounding beauty.

Hong-island-tour-viewpoint

Hong Lagoon

The limestone walls encircle the emerald water, making the Lagoon completely surrounded by limestone walls. This amazing lake-like body of water is a hidden piece of heaven. Hong Islands’s Lagoon is like an exquisite gem, possibly the island’s main attraction, and there’s no surprise why. Accessible by foot through a narrow rock opening during low tide – and it is just a narrow entrance – it is a sight to behold and a fantastic place. Hong Island’s lagoon opening to the sea is surrounded by sand, offering a unique white sand beach-like area.

Koh Hong Islands Geography and Location

Hong Island, Koh Hong , is located in the Krabi Province of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. Koh Hong Island is part of the larger Phang Nga Bay area and has National Park status. It is about 10 kilometers (about 6 miles) from Ao Nang Beach, one of the main tourist hubs near Krabi Town.

Our day tours by private speed boat or yacht charter from Phuket or Ao Nang, Krabi, are the most ideal and enjoyable way to get to Hong Island.

Koh Hong Island has neighboring islands, the small islands of Lading Island and Pak Bia Island. These tropical islands are just some of the many scattered across the Andaman Sea, and all form part of the area between Krabi and the Koh Yao islands.

Hong cove one

Koh Hong – Island of Discovery!

Kayak is a popular activity and the best way to explore the island’s beautiful coastline, dipping into the coves and islets along the way. Hong Lagoon is one of them. The emerald Lagoon of Koh Hong is accessible by kayak during high tide.

Snorkeling and Diving

The visibility of Hong Island’s turquoise waters is excellent, making it a fantastic spot for snorkeling. The coral reefs are home to a variety of colorful fish and other underwater creatures.

The underwater world is teeming with tropical fish and marine life and there are areas around Koh Hong that are ideal scuba diving sites.

Walking and Climbing

The picturesque setting and lush vegetation that cling to the limestone cliffs add to the diversity of the flora and fauna of Hong Island. Set off on tree-covered cliffs, climbing mini adventure and explore the nooks and crannies of this paradise island.

Hong Island 360° viewpoint is worth the climb (400 steps!) As you reach the point and take in the panoramic vista and breathtaking scenery all around, you’ll be glad you did!

A complete guide to Koh Hong Island Krabi

Koh Hong Island Krabi - Shows Ricky standing on a rock looking at the sea

If you’re a fan of serene beaches and remote islands, then this might be the trip for you… White sands meets turquoise water at the highly popular Hong Island, located in Thailand’s southern province of Krabi. Here, you’ll get to explore a stunning islet with gorgeous tropical scenery and hike up to one of the most impressive viewpoints on the island (if you fancy a challenge!).

Hong Island is one of the most popular day trips and island hopping stops in Krabi, and in this guide, we’ll share everything you need to know ahead of a visit. Read on for our complete guide to Hong Island Krabi. 😊

What is Hong Island in Krabi?

Hong Island, also known as Koh Hong, is a picturesque island known for its impressive limestone rock formations. Located in Thanbok Kharanee National Park, it’s a popular day trip for tourists coming from both Phuket and Krabi – and we can definitely see why! It’s one of the larger islands in the national park and has plenty to see and do. Hiking trails, beautiful beaches, sea kayaking and snorkelling are just some of the things you can do on the island.

private hong island tour

Is Hong Island worth visiting?

Hong island is a popular island to visit in Krabi, but not necessarily the MOST popular. It’s less visited than other beach destinations such as Railay Beach or Poda island, but is still a top attraction. This is a good thing; it attracts less crowds than neighbouring island – a great plus in our opinion.

book a hong island tour on get your guide

How to get to hong island krabi.

There are a number of ways to reach Hong Island, and depending on your budget and eagerness to arrive before all the crowds, you’ll want to consider all options.

  • Book a group speed boat tour – If you’re looking for a complete package when visiting the island, with a stop off at other islands along the way, we recommend booking a tour. We went with Sea Eagle Tours Krabi and highly recommend them. It takes around 30 minutes to reach Hong Island from Ao Nang, meaning you’ll get there much quicker than the traditional long tail boats.
  • For a slightly cheaper group tour option, book a long tail boat tour to Hong Island. With a similar itinerary to the speed boat option mentioned above, you’ll tour Hong and a number of other beautiful destinations. It takes around one hour to get to Hong via long tail boat.
  • Book a long tail boat straight to Hong Island – If you’re not looking to go on a tour and want to spend more time at Hong Island, hop on one of the long tail boats from Nopparat Thara Pier or Ao Nang. They run to and from the mainland throughout the day. This is a great option for those that want to spend 5+ hours exploring and relaxing on the island.
  • Splash out and opt for a private tour – Do you have a special occasion coming up? Or maybe you’re a group of friends? One cool way to spend the day is by chartering your own private long tail boat. It’s a costly form of getting to Hong island Krabi, but is worth it for the lack of crowds. With your own long tail, you can choose to arrive at Hong Island early morning before the crowds of other tourists arrive.

The Koh Hong Island tour

As the most popular way to visit Hong Island, we opted for the Hong Island hopping tour. Here’s the full itinerary:

You’ll start off the day by getting picked up from your hotel by an open air van, usually between 8am and 9am. You’ll depart from either Nopparat Thara Pier, Ao Nang Beach or Railay beach.

Picture a small islet surrounded by stunning limestone cliffs… you’ve now arrived at Koh Lao Lading! This beautiful island will be the first stop on your tour and makes a perfect start to the trip. Koh Lao Lading is nicknamed the ‘paradise island,’ and we can definitely see why.

You’ll have the opportunity walk around this small island to the rocky beach on the far side of the boat dock. There isn’t much in the way of exploring, due to its small size, but you can take a typical tourist photo on the swing, which we thought was a nice touch. There’s also a shallow area where you can snorkel.

It’s a tiny island that has a beach that was voted one of the best in the world. However, it can get very crowded, which takes away from the beauty of it.

Pak Bia Island

The next stop off point on the tour is the Pak Bia island. This uniquely shaped tropical island consists of two small islands that are connected by a sand bar. The area  across from where the boats dock is the best spot on the island for swimming and snorkelling, with its turquoise waters, towering rock stacks and an array of fish that swim in its shallows.

When the tide is low, a number of sand bars and hidden beaches are revealed, so if you’re lucky, you might see areas of Pak Bia that other tourists haven’t seen! The entire are is a beautiful spot to take pictures and admire the view. This is a short stop on the tour – around 30-40 minutes.

Hong Island Lagoon

To get to Hong Island beach you’ll first need to pass through the spectacular Hong Island Lagoon. You’ll enter this spectacular lagoon area via a narrow rock opening, where you’re soon greeted by tall and elegant cliffs, jungle-like scenery, and turquoise blue waters. The lagoon has a very secluded appeal to it as you can only reach the area by boat. During low tide, you’ll be able to wade in the shallow waters. High tide creates a completely different setting.

The lagoon is an excellent place to stop off at for a spot of swimming or snorkelling. The tour we opted only toured the lagoon without a swim stop. However, if you opt for a private tour, you can request a longer stop at the lagoon on your itinerary.

Hong Island

The star of the show, and one of the best islands in the national park and Krabi area is Hong Island. The high elevation island is covered in rich tropical forest. It’s a great place to visit for a spot of sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling and even for a hike if you’re feeling up for the challenge. Hong is much larger than the surrounding islands so it never feels too crowded.

Aside from the stunning beach and epic relaxation spots, one activity that’s definitely worth doing is climbing the 400+ stairs to see the most amazing views of the island and surrounding area. The Hong Island viewpoint is a top thing to do, and whilst challenging, it only takes around 15 minutes to walk to the top. There are four resting spots on the ascent where you can catch your breath

In addition to the viewpoint platforms, there’s also a small nature trail that’s located just behind the beach. The path of the trail meanders amongst the native tropical plants and has plenty of wildlife. We spotted a monitor lizard, butterflies and some very cool looking birds on the short nature walk.

Note: You’ll need to pay a national park fee of 400 baht per person to enter Hong Island Krabi.

Our top tips for visiting Hong Island

  • When you first arrive at Hong Island, plan to visit the viewpoint and nature trail first, especially if arriving on a morning. You’ll experience the beauty of these areas with less tourists around.
  • When completing the mini hike up to Hong Island viewpoint, be sure to bring lots of water with you, wear sun cream and bring along a hat if you have one. There isn’t a lot of shade once you reach the top of the cliff.
  • If you want lots of time on Hong Island and aren’t particularly bothered about visiting other nearby islands, opt for a return transfer directly to Hong instead of an island hopping tour.
  • If you’re looking for a quieter spot to relax on the island, walk to the furthest end of the beach from the boat docking area. Most tourists grab a spot on the beach right next to the dock.
  • If you want to do a spot of sea kayaking on Hong Island, you’ll need to reserve this beforehand with your tour guide or rent kayaks as soon as you arrive at Koh Hong. There are limited kayaks available and they’re always in high demand.
  • Bring snorkelling equipment with you. Hong Island’s shore is the perfect place to spot some tropical fish.

Hong Island tour and transport options:

Speed boat tour.

We highly recommend booking an organised group tour with Sea Eagle Tours through Get Your Guide . You’ll tour the islands on a modern, double-engine speed boat that’s fast and comfortable. It’s also the quickest way to reach the islands. Other speed boat tours are available. However, we researched companies before arrival and Sea Eagle tend to have the best reviews.

image showing the back of the speed boat and the two larger motors - a complete guide to hong island, krabi

  • The tour is reasonably priced, considering a group long tail boat tour doesn’t cost much less.
  • The speed boat gets you to places much faster than the traditional Thai long tail boat. You’ll spend less time at sea and more time exploring the islands.
  • Lunch is included (there aren’t any restaurants on the island, making it more difficult to find food).
  • The entire tour is organised, so you don’t need to do a thing.
  • Many tour groups arrive on the islands around the same time. This means it can be overcrowded at times, especially during peak times of the year.
  • You might need to wait around for other people on the tour at times (if they’re late at arriving/ getting back to the boat).
  • Speed boats hold more passengers, usually 20-40 people. This can be less appealing for those that prefer smaller group tours. Long tail boats only fit around 10 people, for example.
  • The entire day trip, including transportation, lunch, and the use of snorkelling equipment costs 1350 baht per person.

Long tail boat tour

Very similar to the speed boat tour, with almost identical itineraries, a long tail boat tour is another great way to explore Hong Island and the surrounding national park. Smaller than speed boats, long tail boats fit up to 10 passengers. These tours are slightly cheaper than speed boats and as there are so many long tail boats in Krabi, you can sometimes negotiate prices.

private hong island tour

  • Smaller group sizes of 10 or so people. There’s less waiting around for other guests.
  • Long tail group tours of Hong Island in Krabi are the cheapest tour option.
  • Many people love the traditional experience of seeing Thailand’s island on its iconic long tail boat.
  • Long tail boat tours take almost double the time to reach Koh Hong Island compared to speed boat tours.
  • These boats can be quite noisy and bumpy compared to their speed boat counterparts.
  • Tours are less organised than speed boat companies as long tail excursions are run by a range of different providers. Therefore, experiences differ depending on drivers and guides.
  • Long tail boat tours to Hong Island cost around 1100 Thai baht per person. Prices can vary due to the vast number of different long tail boat tour providers.

Hong Island Long Tail taxi boat

If you’re looking to just visit Hong Island, as opposed to seeing other islands along the way, the long tail group tour might be best for you. You can book a return transfer to the island on Ao Nang Beach or the Railay pier. Long tail boats usually wait to fill up before departing and you’ll get a pickup time for return back to the mainland. Most long tail boasts depart to Hong on a morning and return around 4pm.

private hong island tour

  • If you head out first thing in the morning, you’ll be one of the first people on the island before all the tour boats arrive.
  • You’re able to spend most of the day there and won’t have any time constraints.
  • It’s more affordable than the likes of the speed boat tour. This is the cheapest way to visit Hong Island.
  • It’s less of an experience compared to the Hong Islands Tour as mentioned above, as you only go to one island.
  • It’ll take longer to reach the island. It takes around 30 minutes by speed boat, and around an hour by long tail boat.
  • The ride by long tail is loud and a little bumpy compared to speed boat tours.
  • Costs for the long tail boat return transfer are around 400-600 Thai baht per person.

Private tour to Hong Island

The final, and most luxurious tour option is a private tour. If there’s a small group of you, or even just the two of you and want to celebrate an occasion, then this is the way to do it. You can choose a traditional long tail boat, or a small speed boat to take you to the island. You’ll get to experience Koh Hong Island and the surrounding national park away from the tourist crowds and can set your own itinerary. A private tour is a great option, but it’s also the most expensive way to explore Hong.

private hong island tour

  • A private tour is more intimate, with just you and your partner/ friends.
  • You can organise the trip yourselves and tell the driver where you want to go first (this is a good way to avoid the mass crowds).
  • The tour is designed around you. You can decide how long you spend at each place and decide when to leave.
  • Lunch is usually included.
  • A private tour is the most expensive option, out of all the options mentioned above.
  • Once you arrive at the main islands, you’ll be surrounded by other tourists. There isn’t a great amount of time at sea in your private boat.

Costs will vary depending on the type of boat and the tour provider. Have a look online or negotiate a rate in person for the best deals. You may be able to negotiate a better rate during quieter times. Private tours start from around 4000 baht.

What to bring with you on the Hong Island Krabi tour

As it’s a full day out, you won’t want to leave any essentials at home. Here are some of the must-haves to bring along with you:

  • Bottles of water (ideally in a thermal flask to keep the water as cold as possible throughout the day). Some tours provide drinking water
  • A hat and pair of sunglasses
  • Water shoes
  • Sanitary products and tissue (some toilets won’t have toilet roll, so it’s a good idea to bring some with you)
  • A Go Pro / camera

image of a stunning turquoise beach with people swimming in the sea - a complete guide to hong island, krabi

Food and drink on Hong Island

Due to the remote location of many islands in Krabi, there aren’t many options when it comes to dining on the islands. If opting for a tour, they’ll provide you with a packed lunch that’s included within the tour package.

There are a few beach shacks and kiosks on Hong Island that sell sodas, waters and fruit shakes, along with snacks such as crisps and biscuits. We also noticed a small snack shack on the neighbouring island on the tour, Koh Lading.

If you’re planning a trip to Koh Hong Island on your own, without a tour, we recommend bringing plenty of water, snacks and even make yourself a package lunch.

Toilets and changing facilities

You’ll find toilets on all of the islands on the tour; Hong Island, Koh Lading and Pak Bia.

Best time to visit – Morning vs afternoon vs sunset

As with many islands in Krabi, the Hong Islands are extremely popular amongst tourists and can get really busy, especially during peak times of the year (December – March). If you’re on a group tour, you won’t have a choice of itinerary. However, if you plan a private tour or visit via a return boat taxi, we recommend arriving either first thing in the morning, or later on in the afternoon to watch the glorious sunset. Not only is the weather much more manageable at these times, you’ll also avoid the mass crowds of tourists!

Our final tips for an amazing day of island exploration

  • If you’re not doing an organised tour, try to catch the first long tail boat that leaves from Ao Nang/ Railay. That way, you’ll get to experience Hong Island at its best, without masses of tourists. The same goes for private tours; ask if you can depart early morning.
  • When you arrive at the islands, be sure to walk further along away from all of the boats. You’ll find that these areas are much quieter and less people tend to relax there.
  • Bring food with you if you’re not doing an organised tour.
  • Watch out for small rocks in the sea. Not only are they sharp, but some sea lice are known to roam around these areas and nibble at your feet and legs.
  • If you’re prone to seasickness, be sure to sit at the back of the boat for a less of a bumpy ride.

Private Luxury Longtail Boat to Hong Island from Krabi (Review)

  • Last updated: February 28, 2024

Arijana Tkalcec and Matej Span underwater selfie, Similan Islands, Thailand

Welcome & thank you for reading our blog. :) We love what we do and put a lot of work in our free articles. We hope you find what you are looking for!

Hong Island luxury longtail boat, Krabi

About Hong Island

Hong Island is one of Krabi’s best tourist destinations , known for its beautiful white sand beach, interesting lagoon, and the best viewpoint of Phang Nga Bay.

Aerial photo of Hong Island and beach, Krabi

Most people want to visit Hong Island because of the one-of-a-kind lagoon, but the island definitely offers more than that!

Beach with palm trees, Koh Lao Lading, Krabi, Phang Nga Bay

RECOMMENDED TOUR

Hong Island is technically part of Phang Nga Bay and is the closest to Krabi , so the easiest and most common way is to come from Krabi .

And that’s how we visited as well. We booked our half-day luxury longtail boat trip on Klook and can highly recommend it as one of the best trips to do in Krabi . Read along to learn why.

What is the price of the private luxury Hong Island day tour?

A private luxury longtail boat trip to Hong Island from Krabi costs around $245 for a half-day trip and $370 for a full day.

Food and drinks aboard luxury longtail boat to Hong Island, Krabi

Note: There are also other options for going on a Hong Island trip, which we detailed in our Hong Island Travel Guide .

What is included in the tour price?

The luxury longtail boat to Hong Island from Krabi includes:

  • Transfer from Ao Nang 
  • Soft drinks and water
  • Snorkeling gear

Luxury longtail boat in Hong Island Lagoon, Krabi

National Park fees

Hong Island is part of Than Bok Khorani National Park and therefore requires an entrance ticket. Most tours don’t include this in the price, and you’ll have to pay it on the spot before entering Hong Island.

OPENING HOURS AND TICKETS

The entrance fee for Hong Island is 300 baht for foreign adults and 150 baht for children and can only be paid in cash.

Hong Island is open from 8 am to 4:30 pm.

Entrance ticket counter of Hong Island, Krabi

Trip itinerary

While Hong Island day trips from Krabi usually have similar itineraries, you can customize your private trip according to your wishes.

Entrance to Hong Island Lagoon, Krabi, Phang Nga Bay

Although you are still a bit limited with what you can do in a certain timeframe. For example, if you want to visit all the spots around, you will spend less time on each location.

So if you want to stay longer on Hong Island , then it makes sense to spend less time at other spots.

1. Pick up from our hotel and arrival at Nopparat Thara Pier in Krabi

A van picked us up from our Ao Nang Homestay at the pre-arranged time, as a pick-up from the Ao Nang area is included. It took us to the nearby Nopparat Thara Pier, where most longtail boat trips to Hong Island start.

2. Longtail boat ride to Hong Island

We boarded the luxury longtail boat, got to know our captain and personal assistant/guide, and departed for a 50 minutes ride toward Hong Island.

To start the trip, we got a nice welcome drink, which was a nice touch. And on the way, our guide told us a bit about the area and what we were passing. We even saw fishermen catching jellyfish!

Luxury longtail boat ride to Hong Island, Krabi

We went on the trip in June, which is not the best time to visit, so the ride was not so smooth due to the choppy sea and occasional rain.

However, the boat is equipped with rain covers, and they have umbrellas as well. And while that can’t completely save you from getting wet, it will definitely help!

3. A short stop at Koh Lao Lading, better known as Paradise Island

Located near Hong Island, Koh Lao Lading is a small island with a beautiful beach and an Instagram-famous swing.

Longtail boat and swing at Lao Lading Island, Phang Nga Bay

Lao Lading was our first stop, and we were the only people there, which was amazing! The whole place felt so peaceful.

While we didn’t spend a long time there, as it also started raining just as we arrived, we still really liked it.

Koh Lao Lading beach, Krabi, Phang Nga Bay

4. Visiting the famous Hong Lagoon

The hidden Hong Lagoon of Koh Hong Island is a beautiful spot that’s definitely worth its fame, as it looks super cool.

And you can only access the Hong Island Lagoon through a narrow entrance in-between two big limestone cliffs. It’s also the most famous photo spot on every Hong Island trip.

Drone view of Hong Island Lagoon, Krabi

The lagoon is stunning, and we took the opportunity to make a short swimming stop there.

And during low tide, you can see to the bottom of the lagoon and spot fish swimming around.

Longtail boat and swimming, Hong Island Lagoon, Krabi

After a short while in the lagoon, most other boats left, and we had a good 10 to 15 minutes before we left just for ourselves.

Swimming in Hong Island Lagoon, Krabi

5. Lunch at Hong Lagoon

Our luxury private longtail boat tour included lunch, and we could choose where we wanted to have it.

We decided to have lunch on the boat in the lagoon rather than on the beach where sand can get in your food.

Usually, people have lunch right at the narrow passageway because of how cool it looks in photos. But we decided to rather be in the sun and not in the shade.

We had mixed weather conditions, so we wanted to enjoy the sun as much as we could. This meant we were bathing in sweat while we ate. But it was worth it!

The night before the trip, we chose our lunch package through WhatsApp. And you can choose from a few different options (both Western and Thai food). And it seems like there’s something for everyone!

Food and drinks picnic, luxury longtail boat, Hong Island Krabi

We went for one Thai vegan food set and one Western vegan food set. The food was delicious, and we loved the variety.

The Western set included bruschetta, tofu tortilla, and pastries, while the Thai set included summer rolls, fried noodles with vegetables, and tofu and delicious Thai dessert (seriously so good!).

And we also got lots of fruit, orange juice, Thai tea, cold brew coffee, and fresh coconut.

6. Hong Island

Finally, after leaving the Hong Island Lagoon, we headed to the Hong Island pier on the opposite side of the island.

The island has a floating pier where all longtail boats and speedboats stop and where the ticketing counter is located.

On entering Hong Island , we had to pay the entrance fee for the national park. And they only accept cash, so come prepared!

Aerial photo of Hong Island and beach, Krabi

The two main attractions we wanted to visit on Hong Island are the fabulous 360 viewpoint, and the stunning white sand beach.

White sand beach of Hong Island, Krabi

7. Hong Island 360 Viewpoint of Phang Nga Bay

Hong Island’s viewpoint is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Thailand, offering stunning 360 views of Phang Nga Bay, surrounding Krabi islands, and a view of the beach below.

Amazing views of Phang Nga Bay, Hong Island viewpoint, Krabi

To get to the viewpoint on Hong Island , you need to climb 419 metal stairs. Luckily, most of the walkway is in the shade, except the very top. 

There are actually 2 different viewing platforms, but the highest one is the most popular one as it offers the best view.

Selfie on 360 viewpoint of Phang Nga Bay on Hong Island

It usually takes around 20 minutes to reach the top, but it took us about 10 minutes to reach the highest viewpoint without making any stops.

However, we recommend taking it slow, as the humidity and heat can be hard to handle. And don’t forget to bring water with you!

View from 360 viewpoint on Hong Island, Krabi

Hong Island’s viewpoint reminded us a lot of the Ang Thong National Park viewpoint we visited in Koh Samui. But the hike up was definitely easier than the hike in Ang Thong.

8. Relax on the white sand beach of Hong Island

After coming down from the viewpoint, it was finally time for us to enjoy Hong Island’s stunning white sand beach in the bay surrounded by limestone cliffs.

White sand beach with limestone cliffs, Hong Island, Krabi

We were surprised at how fine the sand on this beach was and how the water still had a beautiful turquoise color, even while it was raining.

Swimming and snorkeling, Hong Island beach, Krabi

There are actually two beaches on Hong Island , separated by a huge limestone formation. But the first beach is where the pier is, and the second one is for swimming.

9. Other things to do on Hong Island

As we were on a half-day trip, we didn’t have enough time for everything we could do on Hong Island, as you can also rent kayaks.

So we decided to try snorkeling, but since the weather wasn’t the best, the visibility was also bad (constant waves and sandy bottom).

Otherwise, even though it’s not the best snorkeling spot in Thailand, it’s still a nice place to see some different fish, according to what we heard from others.

White sand beach and limestone cliffs, Hong Island, Krabi

10. Ending the day

Just before heading back to Krabi , the weather turned for worse. From nice and sunny, the wind really picked up, and it started raining heavily.

We were even warned to briefly move away from the beach as waves started coming in. We were all directed to the small restaurant and had to wait a bit before it was safe to head back. 

Selfied on Hong Island beach, Krabi

Fun fact: The sea is usually smooth and without big waves when it’s raining. We observed this on the beach, as there were constant waves before the rain, but during the rain, the water surface was smooth as butter.

What to expect from the trip

It takes around 50 minutes to reach Hong Island by longtail boat from Krabi , so a full-day trip is a much better option for having more time to enjoy.

And on this specific tour , you also get your personal assistant on board. They help with taking photos of you, watching your stuff, and answering all your questions!

White sand beach and limestone cliffs, Hong Island, Krabi

Facilities on Hong and nearby islands

Koh Hong and Koh Lao Lading have free restrooms, and Koh Hong also has a restaurant where you can buy some food and water.

There’s also a small store with smoothies and other drinks available at Lao Lading.

And both Lao Lading and Koh Hong have a big shaded area where you can relax.

Can you use a drone on your Hong Island trip?

As in most Thailand national parks, flying a drone is also forbidden on Hong Island. However, you’re allowed to drone in the Hong Lagoon.

Drone view of Hong Island Lagoon and beach, Krabi

Should you book your Hong Island tour in advance?

We always recommend booking tours in Thailand online in advance, especially if you’re traveling in the high season.

While you can book your Hong Island tour on the spot in Krabi, booking a boat tour online has many more advantages!

You can mostly cancel free of charge up to 24 hours prior and read reviews from fellow travelers, and many tours include hotel pickup, meals, and snorkeling gear.

We booked our trip in advance, and in case the weather wasn’t good, it would be possible to reschedule it easily without any hassle.

What to pack for the Hong Island day tour?

The main things you need to pack for the Hong Island day tour: 

  • Reef safe sunscreen
  • Quick-dry Towel
  • Bathing suit
  • Dry clothes (use code SHIPPEDAWAY for 10% at Unbound Merino )
  • Waterproof bag  
  • Waterproof phone pouch
  • Action camera ( GoPro with a waterproof case or Osmo Action )

We brought our waterproof backpack that was very useful for our island hopping trips in Thailand and kayaking or beach days. We can fit our camera and drone inside and feel safe.

Is the Hong Island luxury longtail boat tour worth it?

The luxury longtail boat trip to Hong Island is one of the best things you can do in Krabi .

Taking a private tour gives you more flexibility as you can customize your trip, picking the order of the spots you’re visiting, how long to stay where or even skipping something if you don’t like it.

Plus, longtail boats can accommodate up to 8 people, so booking this private trip makes a lot of sense if you’re in a bigger group.

Swimming and snorkeling, Hong Island beach, Krabi

On top of that, if you have the budget, splurging on a luxury tour (especially for a full day) is so worth it!

You get a nicer boat with comfy seating in front of the boat – perfect for sunbathing and having a delicious lunch. And you get a guide who can watch over your stuff while you’re climbing the viewpoint or swimming on the beach.

So if you have the budget or if you’re traveling as a group, then a private luxury longtail boat to Hong Island from Krabi makes a lot of sense.
