Disappointing
It was okay, the beaches and boat were overcrowded. And we saw zero bioluminescent plankton in the water, which is the only reason we booked the tour. Nothing special.
Response from the operator: Dear Michell, We are sorry to hear that the crowded spots and the lack of plankton made your trip disappointing. Regarding the bioluminescence, we really wish we could guarantee it every time, but unfortunately, we can't control the plankton—they don't always listen to us! It depends entirely on the natural conditions of the water that night. We hope you still enjoyed the island scenery. Best regards, Thailand Tours Team

DON'T BOOK THIS TOUR
The company didn't show up to pick us up. Our Resort was located close to the departure pier, the operator sent me an email saying pickup time between 12:50-13:00pm at the lobby. We arrived at the lobby 10min earlier and wait for one hour, I called the operator first and they told me driver is on the way.... minutes later they called me saying an misunderstood happened, as the driver passed at the lobby at 12:30pm and picked up the wrong people, the boat was departing and we couldn't make the tour on that day. Very frustrating, as the tour departs in the middle of the day, the operator Thailand Tours ruined our day! I keep calling them to find a solution or ask for a refund and they didn't pickup the phone anymore, very unprofessional! In the end of the day I received an email saying the refund would be processed. Don't trust this company and book another tour!

Good fun but not as sold
We had one night in Krabi and decided to do the tour. We were picked up nearly an hour late from our hotel (having called the company who initially had no knowledge of our booking). The initial travel was very unorganised and we were taken to one area to get a band and a snorkel and then had to wait to be taken to the pier with more waiting to actually get on a boat. This was frustrating as it was hot and no water had been provided at this stage. Once we were on the boat, we had a really good time. Our tour guide was really funny and was happy to take photos and give us information about different places. We had enough time to spend on each island and enjoy it. The BBQ wasn’t really as sold. It was in a restaurant and there were 4/5 bits of food to put onto the plate and finding a table wasn’t the easiest. I can’t fault our tour guide but the tour could have been organised much better!
Response from the operator: Dear Eloise, Thank you for your feedback. We're sincerely sorry for the late pickup and disorganization – we know it was frustrating. Peak seasons like Chinese New Year can make things extra challenging. We're so glad you enjoyed your guide and the islands! We'd love to host you again in the low season and will focus on providing a smoother experience. Sincerely, Thailand Tours team

A Wonderful Experience!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the 7 islands. The scenery was magnificent and the beaches were beautiful. I do wish that we had more time on the beaches, but we still had lots of fun and some good snorkeling on Poda Island specifically. The BBQ got rained out, but they substituted a very nice dinner in an outdoor restaurant with a sheltered area. Then the highlight was the bioluminescence. It was magical. You need to get in the water to fully enjoy it! Overall I would highly recommend this experience. The staff was very well organized, friendly and made it a great experience for all.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback! We're pleased to hear you enjoyed our 7 islands tour and breakfast. Point noted about longer beach stops. We're glad the bioluminescence was a magical spot. 🌟 Kind regards, Thailand Tours team

Dissapointing
We never went they cancelled us just before our trip still waiting for our refund 😭 They said they wouldn't pick us up
Response from the operator: Dear Rebecca Hughes As we mentioned on this tour clearly that we only pickup from Krabi mainland only. But your hotel is in Phi Phi Island. There is no any operate in Krabi pickup from Phi Phi Island for this tour at all. Next time please kindly read all details before make any reservations. This is not even ours fault and we got 1 star reviews just because you didn’t read anything from your end.

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Krabi 7 Islands Sunset & Bioluminescence by Longtail boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krabi.
How much does Krabi 7 Islands Sunset & Bioluminescence by Longtail boat 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 Krabi 7 Islands Sunset & Bioluminescence by Longtail boat take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Krabi 7 Islands Sunset & Bioluminescence by Longtail boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 17 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 Krabi 7 Islands Sunset & Bioluminescence by Longtail boat?
+
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 Krabi 7 Islands Sunset & Bioluminescence by Longtail boat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Krabi 7 Islands Sunset & Bioluminescence by Longtail boat?
+
Around 6 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Krabi 7 Islands Sunset & Bioluminescence by Longtail boat 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.
