Excellent tour! Kayaking to Hong Lagoon is a must!!! - Good snorkelling with nice hard corals and fish life. We got stung by jellyfish so wearing long sleeve rash guard and long pants is recommended.
Beautiful Hong Island with its lagoon, beach and viewpoint.
Lunch box was ok and as expected on this type of day tour.
Kayaking from the beach to the lagoon was the best part of the tour.
Great services from Sila and the boat crew who looked after us very well.

Awesome day - Good tour with beautiful stops. True, it was a cloudy day the snorkeling wasn't great, but definitely still worth it. The kayaking was a fun addition.

Excellent, Informative, Fun!! - This was definitely a highlight of our trip! Mr. Baw was attentive, funny, informative and the food was the best we had on a tour. The long boat was a nice way to travel, much preferred to the speed boat tour we had done previously. The snorkeling was good and we highly recommend the kayak option as we were able to get into the lagoon w/ the kayak (the tide was too low for the longboat to spend much time there) as well as kayak through caves.

Great Trip - The snorkeling was amazing and my boys and I kayaked into the lagoon when the water was knee deep. I walked around barefoot in the lagoon while the boys paddled around and I took many photos. While kayaking back, we came a across a giant monitor about a meter long.

Very nice landscape and experience for an affordable price - Although the snorkeling experience wasn't impressive, I think that it isn't as bad as you might think if you're on a budget. Even if you have a lot of tourists in this area, you can find very nice and quiet spots to either take pictures or relax.

interesting island with beautiful lagoon - Hong Island has a lovely lagoon although it's not a good place to swim as there are so many boats around.
The island has toilets available and the ones near the restaurant are better than expected. The guide on the tour tried his best to give us a good time although the fried chicken provided as part of lunch was rather dry. However, for the price paid, I shouldn't really gripe about that. I only realised that no guide would be accompanying us for the kayak option to the lagoon only when we were there though. Perhaps tripadvisor should highlight whether guides will be accompanying those who choose to kayak.

Not up to expectations - Though beautiful to look at, none of the islands in this tour were ideal for snorkeling. The water was not clear at all!
The lunch served was also minimal and nothing special.
The highlight, perhaps, would be the kayaking, which is not included in this but we paid extra for it when we saw the option available onsite. It was indeed an experience!
But if your agenda is to snorkel - not recommended!

Beautiful, but too brief - The islands are beautiful, but you only have a short time on each leaving you feeling a bit rushed. This is very out of keeping with the general laid-back feel of Krabi. It's worth it if you're going to be in and around krabi for a week or more, but if you're only going for a couple days, I would stick with places like Raili, tong sai or AoNang.

Disappointing - Maybe we were unlucky, but none of the 4 places we stopped were suitable for snorkelling at all - the visibility was less than 1m, there were many many boats churning up the sand and a lot of jellyfish.
It was overall feel was very rushed and not the relaxing snorkelling tour we were hoping for.
The food was ok. Adding on the kayaking option was the only part that made the day worthwhile.
