The 15 Best Island Hopping Tours from Krabi

1.Hong Islands Day Trip by Speedboat with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,952 reviews · 6 hours · from $43Our pick

Spend six hours touring Krabi’s Hong Islands by speedboat, with beach time, snorkeling, lunch, fruit, and a climb to Hong Island’s 360-degree viewpoint. Guides such as Fay, Gina, and Payu are praised for keeping the day clear and friendly. Kayaking is optional but weather-dependent.

“This was a brilliant experience! Great organisation. Unlike many of the other boat tours, this one gave a lot more time to explore and relax on the islands themselves. Also it’s not too long either. The 360 view point on Hong Island is amazing, but be prepared for the steps! One of my favourite days in Krabi :)”

Nice facilities to chill out on the roof, but also downstairs!
