Description

Experience the beauty of Krabi by cruising on a private longtail boat departing from Railay, captained by a local Thai guide. While you cruise at the beautiful Andaman Sea, enjoy a delicious fruit set, freshly cut on the boat for you.

Choose from three itineraries that suit your preferences, from visits to nearby islands to more distant, secluded spots. Start your day early to avoid the large crowds and enjoy a more peaceful adventure. Pick the afternoon departure for fewer crowds in the late afternoon, and watch an incredible sunset at sea.

Option 1 lets you explore the three islands closest to Railay: Koh Poda, Tub Island, and Chicken Island. Revel in the pristine white sand beaches, swim in crystal clear waters, and snorkel among vibrant fish and corals. Visit the separated sea at Thale Waek.

Option 2 takes you to four remote islands instead: Hong Island, Koh Lao Lading, Pakbia Island, and Hong Lagoon. Discover hidden gems like Lao Lading, swim in tranquil lagoons and relax on beautiful beaches. Hike to the viewpoint at Hong Island, offering a 360-degree panoramic view over the Krabi Islands landscape.

For the ultimate island hopping experience, choose Option 3, which includes all the highlights from the other options. Visit a total of seven islands, although with this option less time can be spent at each stop.
