Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Krabi Best Tour has been offering private boat trips from its Ao Nang beach office since 1999. As these are charter trips, you choose the boat, departure time, and order of islands visited. Speedboat tours combine two attractions: James Bond Island and the Hong Islands, Hong Island and Koh Yao Yai, Hong Island and the Four Islands, or the Four Islands and Phi Phi. The specially built wooden longboats explore the Hong Islands or the Four Islands at a more leisurely pace.

A private boat is the most practical option for families or groups of four or more, as the cost per person is almost the same as a group tour, and you avoid the speedboats with 25 to 30 seats. Furthermore, this allows you to reach the Tup sandbank at low tide and Phra Nang before the tourist boats arrive.

Prices are not published. Therefore, please inquire at the office or via email for a quote and check whether national park fees are included before agreeing on a price. According to Google, the office is open daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
