Lily Tour And Travel (Lovely Tour)
Run by the affable Ms Lily and her team, this small travel agency in the Ao Nang area of Krabi has built a loyal following among visitors for its competitive pricing, warm service, and broad range of organised tours. Popular packages include 4 Islands, Hong Island, Phi Phi, James Bond Island, and kayaking trips, along with elephant sanctuary visits and private excursions tailored to specific interests. Transfers can also be arranged through the agency, making it a practical one-stop shop for sorting out logistics during a Krabi stay. What sets this operator apart, according to visitors, is the genuinely helpful approach of the staff, who take time to understand what travellers are looking for and recommend accordingly. Pricing is noted as more competitive than tour operators closer to the beach, and the agency also offers laundry services as a convenient bonus for longer-stay guests. Good to know: the office is located slightly away from the main beachfront strip at Ao Nang, which likely contributes to the friendlier pricing. Visitors staying in the area can drop in to discuss options in person, and staff are well-placed to advise on which tours suit different group sizes, budgets, and timeframes. Booking in advance is advisable during the high season between November and February, when popular island tours fill up quickly.

Visitor Reviews
We took 3 group trips: Hong island, 4 islands and kayaking and then they arrange us private trip (Poda island, sunset on Railay beach and snorkling in fluorescent plankton nearby), where they prepared nice surprise for us. Everyone was very nice to us, very professional. When we went to 4 island trip with long tail boat, they provided us speed boat without additional charge, because long tail boat was broken. Guides provided us all information about trip all the time and informed us what is going to happen and how much time we will have for this. Lunch buffet on trips was tasty as all thai dishes. We bought all trips from lovely lady, which was very friendly and helpful.
It’s best travel agency😍 We bought trips to Phi phi, 4 islands, elephant’s sanctum and of course James Bond. We are very happy with the provided services🔥 Also we ordered transfers. Amazing and beautiful staff, they are always cheerful and helpful. I’m so thankful to Lily. Lily always helps for any questions. I’m so happy to meet her. I recommend this agency👍🏽 next year we’ll come back))❤️
Great little travel agency. We booked a few trips through Lily - as well as getting our laundry done! Much better pricing than the tour places near the beach and friendlier, too! Would definitely recommend the 4 islands trip (very cheap on private long tail boat) and the river kayaking. Photos below!
Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours
Vet Elephant Sanctuaries
Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.
Book Through Klook or GetYourGuide
These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.
Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning
Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
