Krabi Kayak & Snorkel — Hong Island lagoon (Sea Kayak Krabi)
A full day out to the Hong group: the emerald lagoon and the 360° viewpoint, plus Lao Lading and the Pak Bia sandbar, with kayaking and snorkelling.
Krabi, Thailand · 8h · ฿3,300 per session · EN
Fabulous day with guided kayak tour with Yussep. Then a few days later we did a boat trip out to the islands, going to remote beaches and seeing amazing landscapes.
What is this tour like?
The Hong group lies off Krabi in the mouth of Phang Nga Bay: a cluster of limestone islands, one of which is hollow — a lagoon opens inside it through a narrow entrance. Sea Kayak Krabi runs it as a full day from 08:00 to 16:00 and combines the kayaking with snorkelling stops.
The operator lists three stops on the page: Hong Island with its 360° viewpoint, emerald lagoon and white sand beach; Lao Lading, the «Bird's Nest Island», with limestone caves; and Pak Bia, a sandbar that shows at low tide.
The price on the page is ฿3,300 (about $91) for the 08:00–16:00 trip. The page does not say whether that is per paddler or per kayak, so we confirm the unit — and whether national park fees sit inside it — with the operator before your booking is final.
