Limestone islands in the Andaman Sea, off Krabi

Departing from Ao Nang

Private boat tours in Krabi, away from the crowds

By traditional boat, by speedboat, by kayak or on foot: days designed to avoid the busiest hours, with a guide and a crew for you alone.

Amon Tour is a local agency, based in Ao Nang for more than 10 years. We organise our Krabi tours ourselves: by traditional boat or speedboat to the Koh Hong archipelago, Phang Nga Bay, Koh Phi Phi and the Ao Nang islands, and on land, kayaking in the Thalane mangrove, in the Ao Luk jungle or at the Laem Sak fishing village.

On a private tour, the boat, the crew and the guide are for you alone. We shift the timings so that we arrive when the other boats are leaving, and the itinerary is adjusted every morning to the weather and the tides. Several tours are also available in a small group, semi-private.

All our tours depart from Krabi, with pickup from your hotel in Ao Nang. They can be combined with one another, with a catamaran day or cruise, or as part of a tailor-made trip.

At sea, by private boat

Traditional boat (longtail) or speedboat, with crew and English-speaking guide, transfers from Ao Nang included.

By private catamaran

A Lagoon 470 catamaran just for you, for a day or a cruise of several days on the Andaman Sea.

Frequently asked questions about our tours

What is the difference between a private and a semi-private tour?

On a private tour, the boat, the crew and the guide are for you alone and the itinerary adapts to your wishes. On a semi-private tour, you share the same day in a small group: 17 people maximum by speedboat, 8 to 10 by traditional boat.

What are the best tours from Krabi?

The Koh Hong archipelago and Phang Nga Bay for the limestone pinnacles and lagoons, Koh Phi Phi for the turquoise water and snorkelling, Railay and the Ao Nang islands for a shorter day. On land, kayaking in the Thalane mangrove and the Ao Luk jungle round off a day at sea nicely.

What language do the guides speak?

Our tours run with English-speaking Thai guides. French-speaking guides are available on request, subject to availability, which we confirm in writing for each day.

Are hotel transfers included?

Yes, from hotels in Ao Nang. Other pickup points are possible for a supplement, which we state in your quote.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Rain alone does not cancel a trip: it is strong wind and currents that can prevent boarding. If we have to cancel, we let you know by email by 9pm the day before at the latest, then we reschedule your tour, offer you another activity or refund you.

Is the bioluminescent plankton guaranteed?

It is present all year round and the swim is indeed part of the programme. Its intensity varies with the weather, the state of the sea and the phase of the moon: the brighter the night, the less spectacular the phenomenon.

How late can we book a tour?

A private tour can be booked until 8am, Thai time, the day before departure. The booking is confirmed on receipt of a deposit of 1,000 baht per tour; the balance is paid in cash, in baht, on the day of your first tour.

Can we go on a tour with children?

Yes. On a private tour there is no age limit: you set the pace and we come back earlier if needed. Semi-private tours are not open to children under 4.

Do we need to leave early to avoid the crowds?

Not necessarily: at best, you will be alone for an hour before the groups catch up with you. Our sea tours start and finish late: from 3pm, you have the water almost to yourselves, because the other companies' boats are heading back.
