The Koh Hong trip is another destination for tourists visiting Krabi that should not be missed. Today, we will take you to see the atmosphere of the Koh Hong tour in a one-day tour. What are there? Of course, there must be a lagoon room, which is the origin of the name Koh Hong. Included… Ready to go!
Starting from the tour company's car will pick us up at the accommodation. It's around 8.30 am, as the tour seller informed us when they issued the ticket. And take all tourists to gather at Nopparat Beach to board the boat (we bought a tour with a long-tailed boat). One boat can accommodate about 23 people. But on the day we went, there were only 18 tourists, including us. So we can sit comfortably. At 9.00 am, the boat started to leave for the first point of the trip, which is Red Island.
This small island, known as Red Island due to its reddish-orange rocks, features a limited coral reef. The guide informed us that this area was once a popular fishing spot due to the abundance of fish attracted to the coral. Red snappers were frequently observed here.
After spending 30 minutes swimming and snorkeling around the coral, we continued our journey to Hong Island.
After approximately 40 minutes of travel from Koh Dang by long-tail boat, we finally arrived at Koh Hong.
This is the entrance to the lagoon, with only one way in and out.
The above two pictures were taken from inside the lagoon. The lagoon is quite large and surrounded by limestone mountains, providing a safe haven for various marine animals during storms and strong winds. The boat driver took us around the lagoon and stopped for us to take pictures and swim. The water here is not very deep, but it is a little deeper than our height. If we are lucky, we can also see large sea turtles swimming near us. It's a pity that we don't have an underwater camera, so we can't share pictures of the big sea turtles.
The following is a translation of the provided text from Thai to English, adhering to the specified guidelines:
This is the exit, the same way we came in.
After everyone was on board, it was time to head to the front of the island (Koh Hong) to the beach for lunch.
[Empty paragraph]
The tour company provides buffet meals, fruits, and drinks, all included in the package.
While enjoying a meal, we encountered this monitor lizard (Varanus salvator) wandering around, seemingly in search of scraps from tourists. It appeared to be quite comfortable around humans, and judging by its size, it must be well-fed and content, as evidenced by its rotund physique.
After a satisfying lunch, it's free time! The guide will give everyone time to relax as they please. Those who want to swim can do so, and there are many beautiful, colorful small fish swimming nearby. If you're worried about getting full, you can sit and enjoy the view before swimming later. Some people rent canoes to paddle around the lagoon again. At 2:30 PM, everyone boards the boat to continue to the last island of the trip, Lading Island (Paradise Island).
Koh Lading is a small, uninhabited island with a white sand beach that curves into a small bay. Swimming is possible near the shore, but caution should be exercised as there are many sharp rocks exposed at low tide, which can cause foot injuries. Sea urchins may also be present. For safety reasons, it is advisable to wear water shoes when swimming in this area. There are also some spots for snorkeling, although the coral reefs are not extensive.
This island is guarded by cats like this one. If you have any food, please share it with them. I don't know who was so cruel to abandon these cats on an island with no human habitation, but they have managed to survive.
Our trip to Koh Hong went smoothly today. The tour company dropped all the customers off at their hotels. We arrived back at our accommodation around 4 pm.
If you are interested in booking a tour to Koh Hong, you can contact any of the many tour counters on Ao Nang beach. You can also inquire at your hotel. Prices range from 650-800 baht per person, depending on the company's offer.
Thank you for reading to the end. See you in the next review! If you found this helpful, please share it with others.
