Our sunset cruise kicks off around 1pm with meeting points in both Aonang and Railay Beach. While the trip follows the spirit of a classic 4 island tour, our route stays flexible each day so we can visit the same beautiful areas while seeking out quieter spots away from the crowds. 

We cruise out to the stunning islands off Railay: Ya Wa Sam, Chicken, Si & Poda, where you can jump in for some snorkeling and swimming.

Even if you’re not a strong swimmer or can’t swim at all, we’ve got you covered – our crew will ensure you can still enjoy snorkeling safely and comfortably. Feel like paddling to the beach? We’ve got a kayak for 2 and 6 stand-up paddleboards ready to go.

Our boat is spacious, with comfy cushions on the deck and rooftop, giving you the perfect spot to chill, and listen to music, whether you’re lounging in the shade or sunbathing up top. While you’re relaxing, enjoy our free-flowing non-alcoholic drinks and snacks, plus a cocktail bar where you can purchase your favorite mix as you take in Krabi’s island views. 

As the day winds down, we sail back toward the Railay Peninsula, just in time to catch the sunset over the Andaman. After a Thai-buffet style dinner, We finish the evening with a stop at Railay’s Phra Nang Beach, where you can dive in for a magical night time swim with glowing bioluminescent plankton – an unforgettable experience that has to be seen to be believed!

Duration:

We meet at 1:00 PM and finish at around 8:00 PM. Note that our tour is subject to weather and tidal conditions.

If we need to cancel your cruise due to unsafe weather or sea conditions, you’ll be offered an alternative date or a full refund.

Nicole and Michael were such incredible hosts! The snorkeling was wonderful, they even have prescription masks. The dinner was delicious with vegetarian, gluten free options and everything was nut free. The bioluminescent snorkel was unforgettable as well! Great vibes and hospitality all around.

We did the 4 Island Sunset Cruise on 4 Nov and enjoyed every bit of it. We met at Ao Nang at 1 pm, and a long-tail took us out to the junk in about 10 minutes. Our first reaction: wow, it looks stunning. The top deck has shade and open lounging couches. It's breezy, and there are islands all around you. The perfect setting for a lazy, fun day. At the first stop we snorkelled for about an hour and saw clownfish (no reef sharks for us this time). Then snacks and drinks and a couple of hours lounging up top, another snorkel stop, and jumps off the deck into the sea. The kit is good: anti-fog masks, fins and paddleboards. Soft drinks and mocktails are unlimited, and it never once felt rushed. At sunset we paddleboarded to a quiet hidden beach tucked between the islands. The light was magical and the boat looked stunning in it. Jumping off the deck at that hour made it the best sunset we've ever had on a boat. Then a short storm sent us under the shade for dinner. There were plenty of vegetarian and non-veg choices, including vegan pad thai and fried rice. Everything was really tasty, with music and good chats. Last came a swim near Railay to see the bioluminescence underwater, really special to see with our own eyes. We were back at Ao Nang around 8 pm. There were about 22 of us, and Mike and the crew still gave everyone attention, from taking photos to helping with snorkelling. Completely worth it.

We did the James Bond & Hong Island speedboat tour on 3 Nov, and it was a perfect day. We left at 6:40 am. The tour is planned around that early start so you beat the crowds, and we had most places nearly to ourselves. There were only four of us on the boat. First came the Hong Lagoon, which you can only enter at the right tide. Then Hong Island beach for a swim and the climb to the viewpoint. Then a secret mangrove: an ancient mangrove forest inside a small island, ringed by limestone cliffs and full of monkeys. A very different and unique experience. We saw James Bond Island from the water instead of the crowded beach, and shot videos with the golden gun at the front of the boat. The crew cooked lunch on a quiet beach where we were the only ones: a vegetarian curry (a little spicy), pad thai, watermelon and pineapple. After that we kayaked through lagoons and caves and snorkelled at two spots. On the way back we rode right through a storm: heavy rain, huge waves, zero visibility. A little scary, but a wonderful, adventurous ride. Nicole and Mr. M, our guide, pampered us all day. Nicole's homemade banana cake and the unlimited coffee on deck were lovely touches. A 5-star experience.

Our experience with Krabi Sunset Cruises was outstanding. The vibe was laid back, and we saw key locations including great snorkeling. Paddle boarding at sunset was a highlight, and the bioluminescent plankton was magical. Highly recommend!

Also note that in high season (November – April), getting to the junk boat involves a short ride from the beach via our long-tail boat (about 7 mins from Ao Nang and about 2 mins from Railay). Please wear suitable attire for wading through shallow water to get onto the long-tail boat. 

Frequently Asked Questions

With so many island tours to choose from in Krabi, we know it can be hard to decide which one is right for you.

At Krabi Sunset Cruises, we’re all about quality over quantity. Although our traditional Siamese junk is licensed for 40 passengers, we cap our sunset cruise at just 26 guests. That leaves plenty of room to move around, with comfortable seating on the main deck, a newly added shaded rooftop area featuring soft cushions, bean bags and spectacular 360-degree views of Krabi’s islands, plus sunny spots for those who prefer them. There’s always space to find a quiet corner, take photos without crowds or simply lie back and enjoy the views.

We also believe in giving guests time to actually enjoy each stop. Our itinerary is flexible, so we can adapt to the weather, sea conditions and crowds rather than following a rushed schedule.

Everything you need for the day is on board, from snorkelling gear, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards to a licensed bar, Western-style bathroom and freshwater shower. So you can swim, explore and relax at your own pace before watching the sunset from the deck.

Our 4 Island Sunset Cocktail Cruise includes snorkelling, swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking, with all snorkelling equipment and life jackets provided. We also have anti-fog snorkelling masks, prescription masks for guests who wear glasses and child-sized masks available at no extra cost.

You’ll also enjoy fresh fruit and snacks, free-flowing non-alcoholic drinks and a Thai buffet dinner after sunset.

National park fees, insurance and our experienced guides are all included in the tour price. Alcoholic drinks and cocktails can be purchased separately from our onboard bar.

Our sunset cruise explores the islands around Koh Ya Wa Sam, Koh Si, Chicken Island and Poda Island, before finishing near Phra Nang Beach at Railay for our bioluminescent plankton swim.

We don’t follow exactly the same route every day. Our crew chooses the order of stops based on the weather, sea conditions and how busy different areas are, so we can find the best and calmest places to swim, snorkel and enjoy the islands that day.

Want to know exactly what the day is like? Read our hour-by-hour guide to the Krabi Sunset Cruise, written with insights from our experienced team.

Pregnant guests are welcome aboard our Sunset Cruise. Our traditional wooden Siamese junk boat is large and spacious, offering a very different experience from travelling between the islands by speedboat.

However, every pregnancy is different, and getting to and from the main boat involves a transfer by long-tail boat. We recommend considering your own circumstances and seeking medical advice before booking if you’re unsure whether the trip is suitable for you.

Please also be aware that our tour insurance does not provide pregnancy cover, so you will need to ensure you have appropriate personal travel insurance.

Yes! There’s no minimum age for our Sunset Cruise, and we regularly welcome families with children of all ages.

Children can enjoy swimming, snorkelling, exploring the beaches, paddleboarding and kayaking, or simply relaxing on the boat. There’s plenty of space to move around, with comfortable seating, a shaded top deck and sunny areas for those who prefer them.

We provide life jackets in children’s sizes, along with child-sized snorkelling equipment. Our experienced crew are also available to help children feel comfortable and confident in the water.

Children aged 4 to 12 receive our child rate, while infants aged 0 to 3 can join the cruise free of charge.

Alcoholic drinks and cocktails aren’t included in the tour price but are available to purchase from our onboard bar.

Yes! Our Sunset Cruise offers opportunities to visit beautiful beaches around Krabi. Depending on the weather, tides and route on the day, you’ll have time to go ashore, relax on the sand, swim or explore.

Our itineraries are flexible, allowing us to choose the best spots and avoid the crowds whenever possible.

If you’d rather stay onboard, that’s absolutely fine too! You can relax and enjoy the beautiful island scenery from the boat.

You can cancel your Sunset Cruise free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled tour start time.

If you need to cancel, please contact us as soon as possible. Cancellations made within 24 hours of departure are subject to our booking terms and conditions.

Hotel pickup isn’t included in the tour price. Instead, we have two central meeting points, one in Ao Nang and one at Railay Beach, so you can choose whichever is most convenient.

We’ve deliberately chosen not to include shared hotel pickups because they can involve lengthy journeys collecting guests from multiple hotels. Even if you’re staying just five or ten minutes from the meeting point, you could end up spending an hour in a van before the tour even begins.

If you’d prefer to be collected from your hotel, private pickup can be arranged for an additional charge. Just let us know when you book.

We need a minimum of eight guests for our shared Sunset Cruise to operate. However, cancellations due to low guest numbers are very rare, so this is not something you would normally need to worry about.

In the unlikely event that we don’t reach the minimum number for your chosen date, we’ll contact you as soon as possible and offer you the choice of moving your booking to another available date or receiving a full refund.

We always try to give guests as much notice as possible so they can adjust their holiday plans while in Krabi.
