What Is a Longtail Boat?
A longtail boat is a traditional wooden boat powered by a simple engine with a long propeller shaft. You'll see them all over southern Thailand because they’re part of everyday life.
These boats are made for shallow waters, which makes them perfect for beach landings, island hopping, and exploring hidden bays. They're open-air, close to the water, and give you a real taste of local travel.
Why Choose a Longtail Boat Tour in Krabi?
Longtail boats offer a different kind of island experience — one that’s slower, closer, and more personal.
- You sit low to the water, so the views feel more immersive
- The slower speed makes the journey part of the adventure
- Easy access to small beaches and quiet bays
- Great for taking photos without a crowd
- A classic way to explore Krabi like the locals do
It’s not just about where you go. It’s how you get there.
