6.7 Islands Sunset by Longtail Boat with Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 46 reviews · from $40

Spend an afternoon and evening visiting seven islands from Ao Nang by traditional longtail boat. Snorkel at Yawasam and Tang Ming, photograph Chicken Island, walk the sandbar at Tup and Mor, eat a Thai buffet at Poda, and swim with bioluminescent plankton at Koh Raeng. English and Thai guides lead the trip.

“It was good, we bought dinner and when we arrived on the island there was some confusion because they weren't sure if we could have dinner or not. The company got confused, we had to show the voucher, but they still restricted us to the vegetarian buffet. We couldn't resolve the issue. Other than that, I recommend motion sickness medication because it's many hours on the boat. If I were to do it again, I would take the private tour because there are many people, it's many hours, and it's a little tiring.”
