★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 192 reviews · 7 - 8 hours · from $51

Cruise Krabi’s four famous islands, swim at Chicken Island, snorkel, enjoy lunch, and weigh the tour’s mixed snorkeling record.

“This was not the advertised snorkelling tour. It was a standard 4 island tourist tour that you could buy from any of the tens of sellers on the street in Krabi (This was all confirmed by the third party who was delivering the tour on behalf of the tour operator) There was literally 10mins snorkelling available. (to be clear, this was not due to poor weather conditions . it was just mis-selling). The guide was very nice and sympathetic but the tour was a waste of money (I am seeking a refund) and more importantly it was a waste of a day of my holiday as I would have never…”

6.Hong Islands Snorkeling with Lunch by Longtail Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 63 reviews · 6h 30m · from $54

Review of Krabi’s Hong Islands boat trip, with lagoon views, island beaches, snorkeling, lunch, costs, crowds, and practical booking advice.

“Het was een geweldige activiteit.. Wel een aanrader om met de speedboot te gaan i.p.v. longtail boot! Schitterende stops en een uitstekende lunch box.. perfect geregeld als je zoals ons alles lust! Bovendien was onze gids Miriam een professionele en zeer goed Engels sprekende dame die met passie vertelde over alles wat we onderweg tegen kwamen. Trip had iets langer mogen duren maar dat was omdat de laatste stop het ultieme PARADIJS was en wij naar het geweldige uitzicht punt geklommen waren waardoor we iets minder tijd op het strand en in het water hadden.. Natuurlijk was het ook wel wat druk op sommige momenten maar het is nog steeds…”

7.7 Islands Sunset by Longtail Boat with Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 46 reviews · from $40

Review of Krabi’s $40 seven-island sunset tour, with snorkeling, Chicken Island, beach dinner and bioluminescent plankton.

“Plus points for this activity are the free transfer to and from your accommodation and the sunset on the beach. We feel that this is where the positives end. We found that the guide was not engaging and difficult to follow; there were no safety instructions given before the snorkelling and very little information was given about what you were seeing. One of the guides encouraged us to remove our life jackets while on board the boat. This was reflective of a poor approach to safety throughout. The food was very disappointing. It was cold, bland and unpleasant to eat. On a personal note, I would like to thank the…”

8.Half-Day Phi Phi Snorkeling Trip by Longtail Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 38 reviews · 4 hours · from $26Best value

Review of Phi Phi’s 4-hour longtail snorkeling trip, with Maya Bay, Monkey Beach, lagoons, costs, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Wij moesten zelf kwartier op voorhand aanwezig zijn terwijl de contactpersoon te laat arriveerde. Inmiddels hadden wij een kwartier gezocht en van een plek naar de andere gehold. Monkey Beach kan beter omschreven worden als Dirty Beach (overal afval, maar misschien wel expres om de apen aan te trekken) Maya Beach mooi maar enkel foto's mogelijk vanwege het herstelprogramma van het koraalrif. Geen probleem want nodig. Half uurtje snorkelen is genoeg wat weinig te zien. En natuurlijk massa's volk die zich hebben laten verleiden tot deze toer. Kortom voor mij juist niet gebuisd.”
