Detailed itinerary
1
Start the day trip with a hotel pickup service in Krabi in the morning. Undergo a short health check-up by the crew of Krabi Sunset Tours at Nopparat Thara Pier in Ao Nang or at Hin Pheng Pier in Klong Muang depending on the sea conditions.
2
Hop aboard the traditional longtail boat with your fellow explorers and head over to the Hong Island group. Make a short stopover at Koh Daeng (Red Island) for open sea snorkeling with very clear water and a coral reef under the sea.
3
Cruise further to the tropical gem of Lading Island, nicknamed Paradise island which is located 2.5 km north of Hong Island and consists of two small bays with sandy beaches. Here you can snorkel in the cool turquoise waters and spot a wide array of colourful fish and other marine animals. Enjoy a yummy, fresh made Thai style buffet lunch directly at the beach.
4
Then spend a leisurely day exploring the main island, named Koh Hong, from mangrove trees to wild birds, giant lizards, incredible rock formations, and beaches. Relax on the sundeck and soak up the scenery. Feeling the heat? Then jump from the boat into the refreshing, hidden lagoon.

The highlight is the recently opened scenic viewpoint with a 360° panorama of the most amazing limestone islands the Andaman Sea has to offer.
