Hong Island Sunset + Bioluminescent Longtail Boat
From Krabi: Hong Island & Ko Pak Bia Tour with Sunset Dinner
Hong By Catamaran
Description complète
L'île de Hong en fin d'après-midi, quand les bateaux de la journée sont partis et que le lagon est calme.
La pièce maîtresse de Koh Hong est son lagon, un bassin presque clos d'eau verte peu profonde ceinturé de parois calcaires, accessible par une ouverture que les bateaux ne peuvent franchir qu'à certaines marées. En fin d'après-midi, les lignes d'ancrage qui l'encombrent à midi ont disparu. Les baies abritées autour de l'île sont là où se fait la plongée avec tuba ; l'eau y reste plus calme que les traversées en pleine mer car le groupe d'îles bloque la houle.
Ko Pak Bia est l'autre arrêt, et c'est à peine une île. C'est un banc de sable bordé d'arbres dont la forme change à chaque marée, donc la bande sur laquelle vous marchez n'est pas celle de la photo que vous avez vue. C'est l'attrait plutôt qu'une déception.
Le barbecue est cuisiné et servi tandis que le soleil se couche. Le calcaire conserve sa couleur longtemps après le coucher du soleil, donc la belle lumière dure bien plus longtemps qu'on ne l'attendrait.
L'excursion se termine par une baignade dans le plancton. Les dinoflagellés bioluminescents s'illuminent quand l'eau autour d'eux bouge, donc la lumière apparaît autour de vos mains et de vos pieds plutôt qu'à la surface. C'est réellement variable : les nuits sombres proches d'une nouvelle lune la montrent le mieux, une pleine lune l'atténue, et une mer agitée la disperse. Il vaut la peine de se renseigner sur la phase de la lune avant de fixer une date.

Programme détaillé
Pickups run from around 12:30 and the boat leaves the pier early in the afternoon, heading north towards the Hong archipelago. The first stop is the lagoon, reached through a narrow gap in the cliffs, where the water is shallow and unusually still.
By mid-afternoon you are at Ko Pak Bia, a low island fringed with sandbars that appear and disappear with the tide. There is snorkelling straight off the beach and enough time to explore on foot.
Around 17:30 the crew set up dinner, timed so the barbecue is served as the sun goes down behind the limestone. Once it is fully dark the boat moves to a sheltered bay for the plankton swim, then starts back to the pier at about 20:30 with transfers waiting.

Avis des voyageurs
I loved it. I met so many great people, got to do everything I wanted (snorkel, swim, chill on the beach, explore some nature), and the catamaran was so fun! Dinner was fire and tour guide Josh was awesome. recommend bringing waterproof stuff so you don’t worry on the boat. There wasn’t great snorkeling at every spot in the trip but I suggest bringing the goggles every time when u swim cuz I saw some awesome fish.
We loved this tour so much! Plenty of water, fruit, photo ops, and sites! It was actually such a relaxing beautiful day (with the option of the climb of course if you wanted to be adventurous which I do recommend). Dinner was very yummy, we didn’t get lucky enough to see a full blown sunset but still a good location to see it if you get lucky! The tour guide (Nicky) was so sweet, he gave us a lovely display of bioluminescent plankton at the end of the tour which was very fun, you do have the option to swim and see them or have your guide demonstrate. To note, there are some points where you do have to take everything with you so don’t bring anything you don’t absolutely need, pack light (they provided MORE than enough water and things so leave that behind). Also just shout out to the whole crew there was a family with a new baby and an elderly woman on our cruise that they all helped more than adequately each time on and off the boat so you’re never short a helping hand either.
One or the best boat trips we have done. Picked up from the hotel on time, check in for the trip was easy, even had coffee and juice laid on. Vee our guide for the day was brilliant, really helpful, very polite, spoke good English. The sights on this tour were fantastic, the stops were long enough to do the nature trail, observation point and snorkel and swimming in the plankton just rounded the day off. Plenty of water, fruit and dinner was great. Really well organised day, would absolutely recommend this trip.
Hong Island in the afternoon, then the sandbars at Ko Pak Bia which are the prettiest thing we saw in Krabi, pale sand curving out into turquoise. Barbecue dinner was grilled fish, chicken skewers and rice cooked on the boat as the sun set. Then a night swim with plankton to finish.
Ko Pak Bia is a proper sandbar you can walk along and it was almost empty when we arrived at around four. Snorkelling around Hong was fine, plenty of fish though the coral is patchy. The barbecue was cooked fresh and there was plenty of it.
The plankton were visible but not dramatic on our night and the crew said clearly beforehand that it depends on the moon phase and cloud. Even faint, swimming in the dark with sparks around your hands is worth it. Warm shower on the boat afterwards.
Eight hours but it builds well, snorkelling first, then beaches, then dinner, then the swim. The barbecue was served on the upper deck with the limestone silhouettes all around. Best sunset we had in Thailand.
Lovely trip with a good crew. The night swim is optional and a few in our group found the dark water unnerving, which is fair enough. Hong Island and Ko Pak Bia in the late afternoon light were the real draw.
Fewer boats everywhere because you go out after the morning fleet returns. Vegetarian option at the barbecue was grilled vegetables and tofu and it was properly done. Life jackets and glow lights for the night swim.
The sandbar at Ko Pak Bia changes shape with the tide and our guide explained exactly when it appears. Water was bath warm at seven in the evening. Well worth the extra over a standard day trip.
Boat was comfortable with a shaded deck and mats for lying out. Fruit and drinks were topped up all afternoon. Getting back to Ao Nang around nine after a barbecue and a night swim was a perfect end to the trip.
