This tour is ideal for our guests who may have done other tours of Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay and are now looking for something different. We will now take guests for a good look around the Krabi Islands on the east side of Phang Nga Bay. Here, we can snorkel (most days), canoe, swim, and explore the beautiful quiet beaches almost untouched by tourism. These islands have lovely beaches but not the cave systems of the other Phang Nga Bay tours. There are several nice snorkelling locations, where we can snorkel from the boat, but the experience does depend upon the tide and water clarity on the day.
Pickup time is around 7.00 am. You will arrive at our office by the pier around 8.00 am for a light breakfast, introduction to your guide, and briefing.
By 8.30 am, you will be aboard and under way. Heading east, you will stop at beautiful places such as Long Beach on Koh Yao Yai for swimming and exploring, and then continue east looking for a good snorkelling spot. There are several places to choose from for snorkelling, depending upon the weather and tide on the day. Often, we stop at Paradise Beach where there is a beautiful lagoon and fun snorkelling.
Along the way you will pass by a bird’s nest cave, where a security guy lives to protect and harvest the swift’s nests made of saliva. The nests are valued as a tonic, and are also used in such dishes as Bird’s Nest Soup. Not in my soup however.
There is a delicious Thai meal cooked and served aboard, usually consisting of chicken Massaman curry, sweet green chicken curry, Tom Kha Gai soup, stir-fried vegetables, tempura vegetables, steamed rice and more. Fruit and soft drinks are available all day.
We then go to Hong Island on the Krabi side of the bay to canoe through the beautiful lagoon and mangrove forest.
On the return trip, we often find another little island to swim and relax, typically Koh Nok, Koh Pak Bia, or one of the many other beautiful islands that dot this part of the bay.
Your day can be either as relaxing or as active as you want. Participate in canoeing or relaxing on the boat. The program and comfortable boat suits everyone. Families with children of all ages, older couples, and adventuresome singles. Everyone will enjoy this island tour.
