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.

Geweldig dag Surin Islands
Wij hebben de early Surin islands tour gedaan vanuit Khao Lak. Van begin tot heteinde was het fantastisch georganiseerd. Bij aankomst stond een verrassend ontbijt voor ons klaar, waarna we klokslag 07:00 uur vertrokken. De gids, kapitein en zijn bemanning waren geweldig en behulpzaam. Wij zijn de hele dag ontzorgd en kwamen niets te kort. Eten en drinken ( niet alleen water!) in overvloed.
