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
Wunderschönes Erlebnis mit Elefanten!
Das war einer der schönsten Ausflüge, die wir je gemacht haben. Die Elefanten leben hier wirklich artgerecht - kein Reiten, kein Zwang, einfach nur Ruhe und Respekt. Wir konnten sie füttern, mit ihnen spazieren gehen und sie aus nächster Nahe erleben. Die Atmosphäre war total entspannt, nichts war überlaufen oder touristisch übertrieben. Auch die Guides waren super freundlich und haben viel über die Tiere und den Hintergrund des Projekts erzählt. Man merkt sofort: Hier steht das Wohl der Tiere an erster Stelle. Für alle, die Tiere lieben und auf verantwortungsvollen Tourismus Wert legen, ist das ein absolutes Muss. Danke an Phuket Travel Store für diese besondere Erfahrung!
Phi Phi Islands a blast!
We had the most amazing experience on the Phi Phi Islands X-Large Tour with Phuket Travel Store! Everything was seamless from start to finish. The team was super friendly, professional, and really cared about making sure everyone had a great time. The boat was clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the small group size — it never felt crowded. We visited all the highlights like Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, and Bamboo Island, with plenty of time to swim, snorkel, and relax. The water was crystal clear and full of marine life! What really stood out was the attention to detail and the knowledgeable guide who shared fun facts about the islands. Lunch was delicious, and the whole day felt like a dream. Highly recommend booking with Phuket Travel Store — this was by far the best tour we’ve done in Thailand!

The early departure meant we got to enjoy breathtaking locations without the crowds, which made the experience feel truly exclusive. Everything was well-organized, and the guide was both friendly and knowledgeable. The views were stunning, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the whole day was filled with fun and unforgettable moments. Highly recommend if you want a smooth, high-quality tour experience in Phuket!
