Step-by-step itinerary

Speedboat tour to Hong Island

• Meet crew and board speedboat
• Enjoy fruits and drinks briefing
• Speedboat ride to sea lake
• Explore lagoon with limestone cliffs
• Visit Pakbia Island beaches
• Swim or snorkel at Hong Island bay

The experience

The day starts with pickup from your Krabi hotel and a briefing at the pier before boarding the speedboat. Seasonal fruits and drinks come aboard as the boat heads out for a 20-minute crossing to Hong Island. The lagoon itself is the centerpiece: a sheltered basin enclosed by towering limestone cliffs that rise straight from the water, with no beach access by land. You'll have time to take in the scale of it from the boat and photograph the formations.

After the lagoon, the speedboat moves to Pakbia Island, known for quieter beaches and views across the water. Then it's on to Hong Island's bay, where you can swim or snorkel in clear water. The snorkeling mask is provided. The bay is where most travelers spend their time in the water. Lunch happens mid-day, and fresh water is available throughout. An English-speaking guide is with the group the whole time.

Two options shape the booking: you can join in with kayaking activities at one or more stops, or stay with the main boat group. Both options include everything listed above. The tour runs six hours total, and the speedboat schedule means you're back at your hotel by early afternoon. Insurance is provided by the operator. Note that the national park fee for foreign adults is 300 baht and for children 150 baht. Bring cash to pay at the pier.

What is the lagoon at Hong Island actually like when you get there?

The lagoon is a sheltered basin completely surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs that rise directly from the water. There's no beach access to it by land, so you see it from the boat. The water is clear and enclosed, making it a striking natural formation rather than a swimming spot.

Can I snorkel at Hong Island, and what's included for that?

Yes, snorkeling happens at Hong Island's bay. A snorkeling mask is provided as part of the tour. The bay has clear water suitable for snorkeling, and you'll have time there to get in the water.

How does the kayaking option work on this tour?

You can choose to join kayaking activities at one or more stops during the day, or stay with the main speedboat group. Both options include the same boat ride, lunch, guide and equipment. The choice is yours at checkout.

What's the actual schedule, when do I get picked up and when am I back?

Hotel pickup happens in the morning from your Krabi accommodation. The full tour runs six hours, which includes the 20-minute speedboat crossing, time at the lagoon and islands, lunch, and snorkeling. You're back at your hotel by early afternoon.

Is there anything I need to bring or pay separately?

Bring cash for the national park fee: 300 baht for foreign adults and 150 baht for children. Pay this at the pier. Everything else (insurance, life jacket, snorkeling mask, fruits, water, lunch and hotel transport) is included in the tour price.
