Good sunset snorkeling cruises in Krabi fill up weeks ahead and the best ones go first. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Review of Krabi’s sunset junk cruise, island snorkeling, Thai buffet, SUPs, and memorable bioluminescent swim near Phra Nang Beach.
“We all had a great time, even our one friend who is not a very strong swimmer. We normally have her wea a life jacket and swim her around with us but one of the staff actually took her around the reefs and she had a great time!”
Review of Krabi’s Railay and 4-Island sunset cruise, with beaches, snorkeling, bioluminescent plankton, meals, costs, and practical tips.
“Small group, great instructors and enough time to do everything needed. Would highly recommend to anyone. Even a solo traveller like myself!”
Review of Krabi’s 4-Island Sunset Cruise, with snorkeling, Thai buffet, paddleboards, sunset views, and a glowing plankton swim.
“My daughter and I had a wonderful day on the boat. From the start, we felt well taken care of by native English-speakers, which made everything clear and easy to follow - something I had struggled with on other activities. We were taken by longboat from Ao Nang to a bigger boat, and that’s where the adventure began. It was our first time snorkeling and we were amazed by the colorful fish. Michael provides high-quality equipment, explains everything clearly, and the team keeps a close eye on everyone, offering help immediately if needed. There were also paddle boards - learning to stand up was a challenge my daughter happily accepted…”
Review of Krabi’s private Hong Islands and Four Islands tour, with lunch, sunset at Railay, optional bioluminescent night snorkeling, and hotel pickup.
“We went on a cold, rainy day and were still having a great time - beautiful views at each island and our guide was super friendly and we never felt rushed. We got to do some snorkeling at Koh Lao La Ding because we were at low tide and saw beautiful coral and lots of fish! Unfortunately my husband hurt his foot (his own fault) so we had to cut our trip short and missed the night snorkel, but our guide and the tour operator took us to the hospital and handled everything for us - communicating with hospital staff and the trip insurance covered everything. Above and beyond service!!…”

“La mejor experiencia de mi vida la actividades bien planeadas”
Review of Krabi’s $40 seven-island sunset tour, with snorkeling, Poda Island dinner, Chicken Island views, and bioluminescent night swimming.
“Plus points for this activity are the free transfer to and from your accommodation and the sunset on the beach. We feel that this is where the positives end. We found that the guide was not engaging and difficult to follow; there were no safety instructions given before the snorkelling and very little information was given about what you were seeing. One of the guides encouraged us to remove our life jackets while on board the boat. This was reflective of a poor approach to safety throughout. The food was very disappointing. It was cold, bland and unpleasant to eat. On a personal note, I would like to thank the…”
Review of Krabi’s Hong Island sunset tour, with beaches, 360-degree views, buffet dinner, lagoon cruise, and night snorkeling.
“DO NOT BOOK THIS TRIP. USE ANOTHER COMPANY. They got us to the viewpoint at 5.30pm when the viewpoint closed at 4.30pm. So we were denied access to the viewpoint and still had to pay the 300 baht fee. We also paid for kayaking and there was no kayaking. The tour guide could not speak English. They also took food off our plate because they didn’t have enough. They were driving the boat recklessly on the way home and we almost capsized us. There is a reason they don’t have many reviews. Stay away from this company.”
An animal, a kind of water, a kind of boat, or a kind of day.
