Why go, and how to do it well

Operating out of Krabi, this boat hire and tour agency offers a range of on-water experiences across one of Thailand's most scenic coastal regions. Services span private speedboat tours to destinations including Phi Phi and Hong Island, snorkeling excursions, sunset plankton-watching trips, and point-to-point transfers connecting Krabi with Phuket, Koh Lanta, and surrounding islands. The operator handles group bookings with flexibility, accommodating last-minute changes and catering to families and larger parties alike.

Visitors who book private tours can expect hotel pickup, personalized itineraries, and guides who tend to steer away from the more crowded tourist spots. The barbecue-and-snorkeling afternoon format, which combines island hopping with a meal and an after-dark plankton viewing, has been a standout for many travelers. Private inter-island transfers are noted as reliably punctual and competitively priced compared to other operators in the area.

As with any boat tour operator, experiences can vary depending on the itinerary chosen, so it is worth confirming specific stops and timings before booking to avoid any misunderstanding about what is included. Reaching out directly to clarify the route — particularly for popular stops like Monkey Bay — is advisable. No website is currently listed, so bookings are best arranged through direct contact or via your accommodation.

We booked the afternoon with a guide and speedboat for going to different islands, snorkeling, barbecue and see plankton after sunset and everything was just terrific. We got a hotel pick up with a taxi and our guide who we got to know on the way to the pier, then we met the boat crew and left for the first destination. We had the boat for ourselves, a group of 4 people, we have enjoyed every bit of the snorkeling spots. The guide was super helpful and friendly, so was the boat crew. We got to great spots with less tourists and many more things to see, and the food, even though served at the same place as everyone else, was really good and tasty. I would recommend this tour without any hesitation and would like to thank again the entire team!

My family & me had a great experience with Krabi Boat Hire. I booked a Hong Island tour for 8 adults and 2 children. It was easy to make arrangements and they are flexible with any last minute changes. Throughout the trip, they made sure everyone had a good. Would definitely use their services again whenever we’re back in Krabi.

Overall some of the trip was decent, but the Monkey Bay was a scam, we didn’t even go to the real one, and we stopped for 1 minute. Then when we was suppose to go back to the hotel, they let us wait in a car for 30 minutes to wait for two people that would join the car from another boat trip. Wasted 30 minutes for 7 people to wait for two people. It is a lot of time to spend on a vacation. Not worth the money. Would avoid this company for your own sake.
