Hong Island Krabi Tour by Longtail Boat | Phuket Travel Store
If you are looking for one of the most unforgettable day trips in Krabi, the Hong Island Tour by Longtail Boat is a must-experience adventure. With Phuket Travel Store, you can explore the unique beauty of Hong Island Krabi, famous for its turquoise lagoon, white sandy beaches, and impressive limestone cliffs rising straight from the Andaman Sea. This tour combines relaxation, soft adventure, and sustainable travel, making it ideal for couples, families, and small groups who want to enjoy Krabi at its best.
Discover the Beauty of Hong Island
The name Koh Hong translates to “the island with the room,” which refers to the hidden lagoon at the heart of the island. Thousands of years ago, the cave roof collapsed, leaving a spectacular enclosed lagoon surrounded by towering cliffs. Today, this natural wonder can only be reached by longtail boat. As you glide into the Hong Lagoon, you’ll be amazed by the emerald water and dramatic scenery.
Inside the mangroves of the lagoon, you might even spot large bats resting in the trees. The area is rich in marine life and birdlife, making it a dream destination for photographers and nature lovers. The lagoon is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and photography.
Beaches, Snorkeling, and Jungle Trails
The Hong Island Krabi tour is more than just the lagoon. The island itself offers two stunning beaches where you can swim, snorkel, and simply relax under the shade of limestone cliffs. The water is crystal clear and filled with tropical fish, making it a paradise for snorkeling in Krabi. If you prefer to stay on land, there is a short jungle trek through the island’s lush forest where you can discover native plants and enjoy panoramic views of the bay.
Visit Pak Bia and Lading Islands
A highlight of the trip is that the longtail boat will also take you to nearby Pak Bia Island and Lading (Paradise) Island, both ranked among the most beautiful small islands in Krabi. These hidden gems feature quiet coves, shallow reefs, and beaches so picturesque they look like postcards. At Pak Bia, you can enjoy swimming and relaxing while our crew sets up a delicious picnic lunch on the beach. Lading Island, also called Paradise Island, is a snorkeler’s dream with its underwater life and vibrant coral reefs.

Customer Testimonials
Ayutthaya
We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.
Fantastic experience
Fantastic to deal with. We had a great time on all the tours. Very well organised and best informative and responsive
Catamaran trip to Similan Islands
I booked the Similan Islands tour to do on my birthday whilst on holiday in Phuket. The booking was well managed with all my questions answered quickly and my booking confirmed easily. It was a brilliant day and very well organised.
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
