Highly recommend!
Loved this private longtail excursion to the Hong islands! Gina was a wonderful guide and amazing photographer!! She took the most beautiful pictures of us and had some great tips on where to pose and whatnot. The islands themselves were beautiful and the boat was comfortable. Lunch was great as well. It was a wonderful day!!

Amazing trip with an amazing crew
We had an amazing time until we got caught in a thunderstorm. The boat driver was an absolute master and brought us through the storm. Our guide Liya was amazing! She was so friendly and seemed like she was enjoying the trip as much as we were. The crew (Liya and the boat driver) made the trip so much fun, like we were getting a tour from friends, all while being absolute professionals. The entire process for this trip was great to include the driver from the hotel, the lunch, the boat, the crew. I would not hesitate to go with this company and crew again, and I highly recommend it to anyone wondering if it is worth it.

Hong Islands adventure
We had a great day visiting the Hong Islands. Our guide was amazing, spoke great English and couldn’t do enough for us. Felt very spoilt. Our lunch was beautiful. We enjoyed our trip so much we booked the 4 island tour with the same company for the next day.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We’re so happy you felt well looked after — and even happier you booked another tour with us the next day! That’s the biggest compliment we can receive 💙

Magical island trip
We had a magical trip celebrating my wife's 60th birthday and were made to feel very special. This included some decorations on the boat and a birthday cake alongside our delicious Thai lunch. The two of us were escorted by our brilliant guide, Pan, and boat's captain, from Ao Nang, having been picked up first at our hotel. We went first to Hong Island, one of the larger of the many towering limestone karsts, dotted across the Andaman Sea. This is a popular, if not crowded spot, and Pan directed us to a quieter area on the beach. There's a challenging climb to the highest vantage point, up some steep steps, but the view is worth it if you make it that far. From there we circled Hong Island lagoon before heading to another, smaller island for more swimming and snorkelling. Then on to the smallest island on the trip for a delicious Thai lunch, cold (non-alcoholic) drinks and fresh fruit before a return trip to Ao Nang harbour of about 45 minutes. The day was not cheap, at around £200 for the two of us, but it was certainly very special and highly memorable. Definitely one to recommend. Special thanks to Pan, pictured, it was lovely to meet you.
Response from the operator: What a special way to celebrate — thank you for choosing us! We’re so happy Pan and our captain could make the day memorable with the birthday touches. Wishing you many more magical celebrations 💙

Amazing day!
An absolutely amazing day. The sights were of course beautiful, but the friendliness and service from our guide View truly made the experience unforgettable. She was so kind and went above and beyond taking great pics of us and pampering us with a picnic spread and drinks.
Response from the operator: Thank you again for your kind words! We’re so happy you had such a memorable day with View — she truly loves what she does.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Longtail Boat Tour to Hong Islands: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krabi.
How much does Private Longtail Boat Tour to Hong Islands cost?
+
Prices start at $140 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 Private Longtail Boat Tour to Hong Islands 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 Private Longtail Boat Tour to Hong Islands worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 44 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 Private Longtail Boat Tour to Hong Islands?
+
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 Private Longtail Boat Tour to Hong Islands 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 Private Longtail Boat Tour to Hong Islands?
+
Around 15 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 Private Longtail Boat Tour to Hong Islands 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.
