Meet Mr. Baw, a hell of a guide, on our Hong Island Tour by traditional longtail boat. This trip is an authentic sea adventure on a modified wooden boat with a propeller attached to the end of a long pole powered by an enormous engine (typically one that has been removed from a truck) - somewhat grandiosely known as 'the gondolas of the south'.

Mr. Baw will be the jack of all trades: He will pick you up from the hotel lobby, give you safety instructions and information about the tour at Nopparat Thara Pier, act as your guide, locate the best snorkel spots, swim with you, prepare the lunch setting at the beach of Pakbia Island, show you how to paddle a kayak, make nice photos from you, and just be around if you need any help.

Koh Hong will enchant you right when you step on the island. Part of Than Bok Khorani National Park, Koh Hong features a beautiful sheltered cove with perfect sand beach and many palm trees providing plenty of shady spots to sit back and marvel at the view. Discover every cranny and nook of Hong Island’s stunning bays, or bask on the shores and watch for Monitor Lizards, White-Faced Gibbons and brilliant tropical birds.

Hong in Thai means “room”, and the literal translation of the islands Thai name is “the island with the room” due to the gorgeous lagoon located in the centre surrounded by mangroves with their incredible root systems. Slide between towering limestone walls that shelter Hong Lagoon and slip into the water to snorkel over brilliant fish and shallow reefs.

If you have booked the kayak option, paddle along the sinuous coastline where lush vegetation and soaring cliffs join the Andaman Sea. You will also get to visit Koh Daeng (Red Island), Koh Lading (Paradise Island) and Koh Pakbia. Enjoy a delicious lunch on a tropical beach giving you plenty of time to take in the beauty of the islands.

The snorkeling was amazing and my boys and I kayaked into the lagoon when the water was knee deep. I walked around barefoot in the lagoon while the boys paddled around and I took many photos. While kayaking back, we came a across a giant monitor about a meter long.

This was a good tour and Hong island is very beautiful and worth seeing. I have had better and friendlier tour guide, but he did his job.

The pick up was about 20mins late, apparently due to many people going on tours. First of all we were taken to a meeting point at Nopparat Thara Pier where about 100-150 people were waiting to get on boats for various tours. My group had about 25 people, so the Longtail boat was full. It took about 45mins to reach Paradise Island and we stayed there for about 35mins. Then we went to a lagoon 25 mins were everyone could swim if they felt like it and take photos. After this stop we went to Hong Island for about 2hrs where we had Thai food for lunch, and then we went kayaking around part of Hong Island 2 people per kayak and visited some isolated caves. The guide was great and took photos of everyone in their kayaks. We were scheduled to visit Red Island after this stop, but we were told that the water was too choppy and unsafe, so instead we had extra 20 mins on Hong Island for swimming. The flexible floating pier was a challenge to walk across at Hong Island, it felt like we were on a roller coaster and was hard to keep our balance as the waves moved the pier up and down. We then returned to Nopparat Thara Pier 45mins later and then transported by Tuk Tuk to our hotels. Overall the tour was ok, but the Islands were very crowded as I expected, but at least we got away from people when we went kayaking and Hong Island was also nice place for swimming. The guide was very hard working to make sure everyone was happy!
