Exact timings flex with conditions and traffic — your guide sequences the stops to keep them calm rather than rushed. This is how the day usually runs.
Your friendly driver will pick you up in an air-conditioned minibus in front of your hotel lobby around 4:15 am to take you to our departure lounge at the Royal Phuket Marina. Yes, this is very early, but it is the best way to avoid the crowds. The transfer time to the marina is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Your exact pick-up time and travel time to the pier depend on the location of your hotel. We will confirm the pick-up time with you when you book.
Just a few minutes cruise from Thale Waek, Poda Island comes into view. We'll stop at the well manicured park area on Poda Island so you can snorkel in search of colorful marine life, or if you wish, just chill out on the beach.
Waking up before dawn to embark on a full-day speedboat trip may have left you a little sleepy or peckish, so we will stop on the idyllic beach at Thale Waek for coffee, tea, snacks, and other refreshments. At the lowest tides, Thale Waek is a sandbar that joins together Thap, Mo, and Kai Islands. Take some time to take in the view while enjoying a hot coffee, have a morning swim in the refreshing waters, or don your snorkel equipment and discover what lies beneath the surface!
We will bring you to what is considered by many to be the most beautiful island in Phang Nga Bay! After your arrival at Krabi's Koh Hong, not to be confused with Phang Nga's Koh Hong, you will have free time to relax on the beach, hike up to the panoramic viewpoint with breathtaking views of the surrounding islands, take a swim, or go snorkeling to explore the tropical waters!
While relaxing on the beach or taking a swim may seem like the ideal activities to partake in on Koh Hong, we urge you to put in the effort to hike up to the viewpoint with your guide. We're sure the view will not disappoint! If there is any viewpoint in the region worth your sweat and effort to visit, this is it!
Please note. The speedboat will be moored at a different location while you are on the island, so if you wish to snorkel or take pictures, please be sure to bring snorkeling equipment and your camera from the boat with you when you disembark at Koh Hong.
After returning from the viewpoint, we serve you up a scrumptious Thai picnic buffet on the beach at Koh Hong with a picturesque view of the bay as a backdrop!
After disembarking on the island of Lao Lading, a short walk from the floating pier brings you to a picture-perfect postcard setting to relax on the beach or cool yourself in the tranquil waters of the bay. It took millions of years for Mother Earth to shape the karst landscape of Phang Nga Bay into the work of art it is today, so don't forget your camera when leave the boat!
After a memorable day sightseeing and island hopping, your captain begins the scenic journey, through the islands, back to the Royal Phuket Marina. The estimated arrival time at the pier is between 3:15 and 3:30 pm.
Get your camera ready! As the speedboat nears Thale Waek, the astonishing shape of Koh Kai (Chicken Island) comes into view. Koh Kai was aptly named for its unique karst rock formation that bears an uncanny resemblance to a chicken. This is a photo opportunity you won't want to miss!
After lunch, hop back on the boat and we will take you to a hidden lagoon at Koh Hong, surrounded by shear limestone cliffs, where the serene emerald waters beckon you to climb in for a revitalizing swim.
We strongly suggest that you do not dive or jump into the water. The depth depends on the tide, but it is rarely deep enough to safely dive in.
When you disembark at the Royal Phuket Marina, please be sure you have all of your personal belongings. You will have a few minutes to use the washrooms before your driver returns you to your hotel in the Khao Lak area.

Check dates & book →The tour includes early hotel pickup from Khao Lak (~4:15 am), a private transfer to the Royal Phuket Marina, and a full day by speedboat visiting four stunning locations: Thale Waek sandbar (morning coffee and snacks included), Poda Island (snorkelling), Koh Hong (panoramic viewpoint hike + hidden lagoon swim + Thai picnic beach lunch), and Lao Lading Island (beach and snorkelling). Sightseeing past Chicken Island is also included. Snorkelling equipment (mask, snorkel, fins, life vest) and round-trip hotel transfer are all included in the price.
The early start lets the speedboat reach the best spots — especially the Thale Waek sandbar — well ahead of the larger tour groups. You enjoy quieter beaches, better photo opportunities, and a far more relaxed atmosphere on the islands. It is an early morning, but guests consistently say the experience is worth every early alarm.
The speedboat departs from the Royal Phuket Marina, approximately 1 hour 15 minutes' drive south of Khao Lak. Our driver transfers you there from your hotel before dawn and collects you again after the boat returns to the marina in the mid-afternoon (estimated 3:15–3:30 pm), dropping you back at your Khao Lak hotel.
Yes — mask, snorkel, fins, and life vests in adult and child sizes are all included. Snorkelling conditions around the Krabi islands are excellent: clear water, colourful reef fish, and vibrant corals. Poda Island is particularly good for beginners. Koh Hong's lagoon is a swim-only zone — please do not dive or jump in as the depth varies with the tide and can be shallow.
This tour has a 3-day cancellation policy. Cancellations made more than 72 hours before the departure date receive a full refund. Cancellations within 72 hours of departure are non-refundable. If severe weather prevents the tour from operating, we will offer an alternative date or a credit.
It is a full, long day — roughly 13–14 hours door to door due to the early Khao Lak pickup and the transfer to and from the marina. The speedboat is capped at a small group size, keeping the pace relaxed. Families with children who travel well by boat enjoy the tour; the varied activities (beach, snorkelling, viewpoint hike, lagoon swim) keep everyone engaged throughout the day.
