Hong Islands

The Hong Islands stand out because of their peaceful, unspoiled beauty. Unlike busier spots nearby, these islands offer a chance to escape the crowds and enjoy nature at its best.



The highlight is the Hong Lagoon, a stunning sheltered bay surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and calm, crystal-clear water. It’s perfect for swimming, kayaking, or just soaking in the views.

You’ll also find pristine beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and quiet coves to explore. The vibe here is relaxed and refreshing—ideal for couples, small groups, and anyone who loves nature and tranquility.

We offer private longtail boat tours to some of Krabi’s most beautiful islands. Each one is flexible, easy-going, and guided by a local who knows the area well.

The only way to reach the Hong Islands is by boat, which adds to their peaceful charm.

From Krabi:

• Speedboat tours depart regularly from Ao Nang and Krabi Town. The ride usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
• Private boat tours are also available, offering a flexible schedule and personalized experience.
  
  

From Koh Lanta:

• You can take a private speedboat from Koh Lanta, which takes about 30 minutes, perfect for a day trip.
  
  

Most visitors join a day tour or arrange private transfers that handle everything—from hotel pickup to boat rides—making the trip easy and stress-free.

The Hong Islands offer a peaceful escape with plenty of natural beauty and activities to enjoy:

• Swim and snorkel in Hong Lagoon: Calm, clear waters surrounded by limestone cliffs make for a stunning spot to swim or snorkel.
  
• Kayak through hidden caves and lagoons: Rent a kayak and explore the quiet waterways and secret spots around the islands.
  
• Relax on pristine beaches: Soft white sand and fewer crowds mean you can find your own perfect beach spot.
  
• Spot colorful marine life: Snorkeling around the reefs reveals vibrant fish, coral gardens, and sometimes even turtles.
  
• Photography and nature walks: Capture the breathtaking scenery or stroll along quiet paths to soak in the natural beauty.
  

The Hong Islands are mostly a day-trip destination, so accommodation options are limited. Most visitors stay on the mainland or nearby Koh Lanta and visit the islands on tours.

Where to stay:

• Ao Nang and Krabi Town offer a wide range of hotels, guesthouses, and resorts within easy reach of the Hong Islands.
  
• Koh Lanta is another popular base, with plenty of beachfront resorts and laid-back guesthouses.

Where to eat:

• Since the islands don’t have many dining options, most meals happen on the mainland or Koh Lanta.
  
• Ao Nang and Krabi Town have a vibrant food scene with seafood restaurants, street food stalls, and cozy cafés.
  
• On Koh Lanta, you’ll find beach bars and local eateries serving fresh Thai dishes and seafood.
  

Most places serve Thai and Western food, and you’ll find vegan or vegetarian options at many spots.

The best time to visit the Hong Islands is during the dry season, when the weather is sunny and the sea is calm.

Best season: November to April: This period offers warm temperatures, clear skies, and calm waters—ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and boating.



Low season: May to October: This is the rainy season, with occasional heavy showers and rough seas. Some boat tours may be canceled due to weather, but you can often find quieter beaches and lower prices.

Tips:

• Morning tours tend to have calmer waters and fewer crowds.
  
• Check weather forecasts if you plan to visit during the rainy season.
