Great
Great trip, Mr Green was a fantastic tour guide. Loved the islands and the food. Only slightly underwhelming thing was the plankton as they don’t really light up the sea as your picture shows but all in all a great day
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the islands, the food, and that Mr. Green made your trip special. We truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the plankton. It means a lot to us that, overall, you had a great day, and we hope to welcome you on another memorable adventure soon. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

This was a really worthwhile cruise - we got to snorkel in 2 different locations, with plenty of time to explore Hong island. The crew were friendly, and while the boat was full, it didn’t feel crowded.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you had a worthwhile cruise and enjoyed snorkeling at different locations, as well as having enough time to explore Hong Island. Your feedback truly means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again for another memorable trip in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Didn't go because was disorganised
Booked this from the UK they arranged a hotel pick up which consisted of a guide turning up at our hotel and walking us around the corner to a table by the roadside.. Then told to wait there till 12.40, which annoyed me because our hotel room was nice and cool and had no traffic fumes and just 2 minutes away which I found odd. 1pm arrived and still no sign of any transport so we decided not to go as was clearly very unorganised and we didn't fancy hours more of the chaos.. So the actual trip we didn't go on even though we will get no refund so can't comment on that, but first impressions are important.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear about the confusion and frustration you experienced at the beginning of your trip. We completely understand how disappointing it must have felt to wait by the roadside, especially when your hotel was so close and more comfortable. In some areas, pickups are arranged at designated roadside meeting points to help avoid traffic congestion and delays for larger vehicles. However, this should always be clearly explained in advance, and waiting times should be kept to a minimum. We sincerely apologize if this was not communicated properly or handled in an organized manner. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we will review this matter with our team to improve coordination and communication for future guests. Thank you again for your honest feedback, it helps us do better. We hope we may have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide a much better experience. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Beautiful Sites, Great Staff — But the Tour Should Have Been Cancelled Due to Tides
The trip should have been cancelled. I understand the operator can't change the weather but they knew the tides and currents on their phone as we were shown. And they knew they would render most sites inaccessible. They could have rebooked us for another day. For the record the staff were great, super friendly and accommodating. We stopped at Red Island for snorkeling. They did not let us snorkle because the current was too strong. However there was another catamaran and their clients snorkeling on the spot - which made it awkward. Why do they get to snorkle but we don't? Captain and guide then changed their mind and almost let us go but made the call and we moved on instead. I get the safety, of course, but if it's good enough for other snorkelers. We also heard other groups had a chance to. Next we hit Hong island. It is beautiful and worthwhile. There is a lookout, which he did and enjoyed. Takes 15 mins up and 15 down. And a short tsunami loop that they present as a nature trail through the jungle. Also pleasant and brief. There were meant to be monitor lizards around but nothing we could see. The beach was closed because low tide exposes the corals. So no swimming or snorkeling. This makes sense. I asked to swim in a different area but there's a reason there's designed swimming area, the other spot was riddled with urchins with long spikes. I tried to snorkle a little but it was too sketchy to we stopped. This was not on the operator, they were just trying to be accommodating and I appreciated that. We got on the boat and we're brought to the lagoon - again low tide did not allow access to the lagoon. So we stopped a little off from the entrance and we're told whether we wanted a photo. Can't see much without actually going in which with low tide was impossible. We were shown on their app that they knew this, just decided to run the tour regardless. Next we went to Koh Lao Lading. Even more stunning. And had a genuinely big and tasty lunch with chicken, rice, fruit, etc. Same rules. No snorkeling no swimming because of low tide. Last we went back to our departure point for plankton. That lasted about 10-15 mins in the water and they were few and sparse, though in fairness still visible, but not the 'blue waves" that you might have seen online. It may have to do more with plankton blooms and timing. All that to say, great staff, but the operator knew low tide would close all snorkeling, swimming at beaches and the lagoon from access. I got more wet from the ocean spray and rain than anything else. The sites were stunning and totally worth it. Do yourself a favour and check the tides yourself before booking. But otherwise a great your, if done right.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We are glad to hear that you found our staff friendly and accommodating, and that you enjoyed the beauty of the islands and the lunch. We sincerely apologize for the impact that the tides had on your snorkeling and swimming experiences. Your observations are very valuable, and we will review them carefully to improve planning for future guests. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to have the opportunity to provide an even better experience under more favorable conditions in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Great way to spend the afternoon
Despite the language barrier, the guides were very kind & professional. It was well organised & enjoyable. We could not see the sunset due to cloudy weather. Pick up & drop off service was also great.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hong Islands Sunset & Glow Plankton Night Trip from Krabi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krabi.
How much does Hong Islands Sunset & Glow Plankton Night Trip from Krabi cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Krabi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hong Islands Sunset & Glow Plankton Night Trip from Krabi take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Krabi is not rushed.
Is Hong Islands Sunset & Glow Plankton Night Trip from Krabi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Krabi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hong Islands Sunset & Glow Plankton Night Trip from Krabi?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hong Islands Sunset & Glow Plankton Night Trip from Krabi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hong Islands Sunset & Glow Plankton Night Trip from Krabi?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Krabi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Krabi and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hong Islands Sunset & Glow Plankton Night Trip from Krabi start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Krabi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Krabi?
+
On Outty we rank every Krabi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Phi Phi Islands Tour with Lunch from Krabi, Phi Phi Early Bird & 4 Islands - Day Tour by Speedboat From Krabi, Railay and 4-Island Sunset Speedboat Cruise with Night Snorkel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Krabi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Krabi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
