“we had the most amazing tour guide, ruslan!! he always went above and beyond to cater to our every need. everyone on the boat was incredibly nice. the food was sooo good and the best part was that they cooked it for us on the spot, on koh bia, and we could tell the ingridients were stored accordingly as they had coolers filled with ice. they even offered us little sweet treats like home made banana cupcakes or coca cola (which was not mentioned, but still a nice gesture). we recommend the speedboat, as it gets you to the islands faster and leaves you more time to enjoy them. as…”

5.Hong Islands Sunset, Bioluminescent Plankton and BBQ

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 41 reviews · 5 - 7 hours · from $54

From Krabi or Ao Nang, cruise by speedboat or longtail boat to Lading, Hong, and Pak Bia islands. Swim, snorkel, eat a Thai-style BBQ by the beach, watch the sunset, and look for glowing plankton after dark. The plankton show depends on tide and moon conditions.

“The trip was nice, the places we visited were very nice, the guide was nice. Unfortunately they packed the longtail boat wirh too many people on unmarked seats and some people were lacking common sense and personal space, sat on our stuff, moved our stuff and sat on our space, pushed us on the bench, pushed us when in line for the boat to get best spot. That created a very stressful atmosphere and ruined everything. I got at some point sick of it and almost caused a scene. horrible when u want a nice day.”

9.7 Islands Sunset Tour & BBQ & Bioluminescent Plankton

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 10 reviews · from $39

Spend about eight hours by longtail boat around Krabi’s islands, with snorkeling at Yawasam and Tang Ming, Chicken Island photos, Koh Mor and Koh Tub’s sandbar, a beach meal at Poda, plankton after dark, and a planned fire show. Hotel pickup is available from several Krabi areas.

“The activity was great, the islands stunning and the snorkeling excellent, but the dinner was massively different to what was sold so be aware. The bbq was non-existent and was actually an average buffet in a restaurant where they put you apart from the other guests, and there was no fire show whatsoever. I’d still recommend the tour as it’s good value for money, but be aware it’s not as is sold. We were also on a boat with a load of people who didn’t want to go on the islands or snorkel and just say there. Slightly weird but not the fault of the trip!”
