We booked a full day tour of Kaoh Sok and I have to say this was the highlight of my Thailand trip so far. The pickup at our hotel in Ao Nang was on time and the drive there was smooth. At the lake we were greeted by our guide Khan. Khan and his boatsman were what made this trip unforgetable. Khan was an absolute delight, friendly, funny and he shared many insights and stories during the trip. The lunch we had was very tasty and plentiful. There were free kayaks to use at the place we had lunch and we were lucky enough to see an elephant bathing by the lake side while sitting in a kayak some meters away. I can highly recommend this tour and would like to thank Khan and our boat driver for this amazing experience.

This was an amazing tour! Very long day but well worth it!! The weather gods turned it on which was lucky.. All our stops were simply breathtaking.. Phi Phi islands, Maya Bay, Bamboo island. We had perfect amount of times spent at each.. the waters were crystal clear and a great temperature. Lovely buffet lunch. Definitely swim and snorkel! Then we went onto the afternoon sunset tour on Poda Island which was stunning.. BBQ dinner and sat on the beach for the sunset! Lastly swimming with the bioluminescent plankton which was very cool to see! What a day and it’s great value for money! Highly recommend:) Tour guide Nadia was very funny and she was awesome. Ming was also very cool and helpful! Thank you!!

Fantastic Hong Islands trip on the speedboat—fast, smooth, and well-organized Rating: 5 / 5 Stars (or your preferred rating) Pros: Speedboat Advantage: Taking the speedboat got us out to the Hong Islands quickly and comfortably, leaving plenty of time on the beach and in the water instead of wasting time in transit. Incredible Scenery: Hong Island, the emerald lagoon, and the surrounding limestone karst islands are stunning. The 360° viewpoint climb is a workout, but the panoramic views at the top are worth every step. Great Tour Crew: The Krabi Sunset Tours team was well-organized, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly from hotel pickup to drop-off. Beating the Morning Crowds: The schedule worked out great for enjoying the beaches without the heavy peak-morning crowds. Cons: Steep Steps to Viewpoint: The climb to the 360° viewpoint is hot and steep, so proper shoes/sandals (not flimsy flip-flops) are recommended. Summary: A top-notch island tour in Krabi. The speedboat makes the journey effortless, the sights are world-class, and Krabi Sunset Tours delivered a seamless, memorable day. Highly recommended!

Outstanding experience. Went on a traditional boat tour to hong island and we ended up with a fantastic guide and only 2 others on our boat. Only thing you could „complain“ about is that there will be other boats from other company’s too and it might get crowded.

My daughter and I had a lovely private longtail boat tour. Some glitch on its website and the final price did not include transfer costs, which were payable. Our hotel is not far away. A Grab ride each way would be under 200. Transfer was 1,200 for two ways. The boat trip was good. The price included an English speaker guide, Garfield, and she was lovely. Boatman and drivers were all friendly too. So we are happy with everything overall.
Tup Island is part of the tide-dependent Talay Waek sandbar area linking Tup, Mor and Chicken islands. At low enough tide, pale sand can create a walkable connection; at higher tide, the same route may be partly or completely submerged. No tour can guarantee a dry sandbar.
Tup and Tub are alternative English spellings for the same island. Talay Waek describes the sandbar scene around Tup, Mor and Chicken islands. Tour descriptions may use all three labels for one part of the itinerary, not separate attractions or guaranteed landings.
Walking is possible only when the tide exposes enough sand and the crew confirms the crossing is safe. A tide table shows an expected low-water window, but wind, waves and local depth affect real conditions. Ask when the boat expects to arrive, then follow the crew’s decision.
No. A private charter lets your group discuss timing, but the captain still works within the booked duration, safe conditions and park rules. Ask whether departure can align with low tide and choose a trip you would enjoy even if the sand remains covered.
Use strong sun protection and footwear suitable for wet sand, shallow water and boat boarding. Keep phones and documents in a dry bag. Leave shells, coral fragments and animals where they are; take photographs and return all rubbish to the boat.
Check when to visit for the season and tide, then compare the tours.
You can walk on the Talay Waek sandbar only when the tide is low enough and the crew says conditions are safe. At higher tide, part or all of the connection between Tup, Mor and Chicken islands can be underwater. No departure can guarantee a dry crossing.
No. They are alternative English spellings for the same island.
No. Tide, weather, park rules and the captain still control access.
