Private Hong Island Speed Boat Tour with Kayaking by Sea Eagle
Create your own Hong Island hopping itinerary
Highlights
- Explore the beautiful Koh Hong group at your own speed
- Paddle by kayak around Hong Island
- Stop at hidden islets far from the crowds
- Tailor your own timetable for each island
What can you expect
Charter a speed boat by Sea Eagle Tour to the Hong Island group and enjoy a private cruise with friends and family. The Koh Hong archipelago is about 45 minutes away from Ao Nang beach, perfect for a day trip. The rocky outcroppings rise up out of the water, creating a scenic ride.
Get a convenient pickup service by minivan from your hotel in Krabi, and cruise from Nopparat Thara Pier to Hong Island. Make the first snorkelling stop at Koh Daeng, a rock island on the way to Koh Hong. When conditions are right, the water around the island is crystal clear and swimming is easy, with colourful fish everywhere around you.
Continue to Lading, Pakbia and Rai Island for taking photos and have a swim at the impressive sandbars revealed at low tide.
Next on the agenda is Hong Island which is part of a Marine National Park and is uninhabited, except for some birds and lizards that call the island home. There are two powdery white sand beaches lining twin bays. Each has calm, warm water, nearly transparent enough to snorkel without putting your face underwater.
Enjoy a picnic lunch under the shade of a tree. You will have a plenty of time to take in the beauty of this superb island, including snorkeling and kayaking activities.
The next stop is at the island’s hidden lagoon. You won’t get there by walking on Hong Island’s trails, but you can enter it by boat. The word Hong means “room” in Thai, and as you approach the narrow entrance to the lagoon, you will realise that you are actually entering a room-like area. The scenery at the lagoon is mesmerising for its turquoise waters and tall cliffs.
Return back to Ao Nang and get transferred to your hotel with an unforgettable experience of a lifetime.

Important
- Bring a towel, waterproof bag, swimwear, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, water shoes or flip flops and a camera.
- During certain seasons, jellyfish may be present in the Andaman Sea, and contact can cause skin irritation or discomfort. To minimize the risk, we recommend wearing protective clothing such as watershoes and long swimwear when swimming.
- Ensuring your safety is our top priority. To that end, we strongly recommend wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkeling.
- Speedboats navigate close to the shoreline, allowing passengers a convenient and effortless transition to the beach.
- While flip-flops are convenient, water shoes offer better protection against sharp objects like shells or rocks on the sand, and provide improved traction on wet surfaces.
- Shorts are ideal as they dry quickly and allow for greater freedom of movement, especially if the water level reaches above your knees when getting on or off the boat.
- This tour is not recommended for infants under 3 years old, pregnant women or people with back or neck problems.
