Small-Group Sea Kayaking at Hong Island from Krabi

Itinerary

Paddle out into the open waters off Krabi's coast on a kayaking tour to the little islands that lie at the edge of the Andaman Sea. This expedition lets you explore the hidden lagoons and forested bluffs of Hong Island, with time for a swim and some snorkelling in the spectacular coral reefs.

A ride from your hotel brings you to the pier in Ao Thalane, where a long-tail boat carries you out into Phrang Nga Bay. Get a look at the towering karst formations that jut out of the water as you make your way to Hong Island, where you board your kayak for the voyage around its huge limestone cliffs.

Once you've had a look at the island from the open water, your guide leads you into a sheltered, emerald-hued lagoon hidden behind a narrow break in the cliffs. Here, you can jump in for a swim or go snorkelling to admire the amazing coral reefs.

Take a break on the sandy beach before you head back to the boat for lunch, and then you get the afternoon free for more kayaking, snorkelling, or swimming in the crystal-clear waters. The boat carries you to a few of the smaller islands throughout the bay before the time comes for the scenic cruise back to shore and the return trip to your hotel.
