Island Hopping from Hong to James Bond Islands from Krabi with Speedboat

Just do it

Great day out. Eggy, Marc and team were fantastic and were able to take us to the right spots and the right times so that we were able to enjoy without the crowds of people. Pay cheap, get peanuts … so whilst this was more expensive than other trips it is 100% worth it. Lunch, boat etc was all great, would absolutely recommend

Great guides, beautiful...

Great guides, beautiful spots that aren’t super crowded. Only downside was they overstuffed the boat a bit (19 when was supposed to be 17 max)

Excellent trip! Woody and...

Excellent trip! Woody and Jorge were great. The boat, the food, the experience was all great. We were well looked after the whole day. The sites were just spectacular too.

Best tour to beat the crowds

This was such a great tour! The guides Eggy and Tuna were so good, lots of information, very funny, and checking in with each of us to see if we had questions or needed anything. They and the rest of the crew seemed to know just how to time our arrivals at different beaches to beat the crowds and get the most out of each location. We even had lunch on a beach with just our small group and the national park rangers.

Doesn’t get much better than this

Tuna and his team were incredibly friendly and made us feel safe from the get go. We visited many places before other tourist boats arrived and enjoyed uninterrupted views of the islands. The day was extremely well organised and the tour provided a beautiful lunch on a secluded beach. Thank you Tuna and the team for an unforgettable experience!

Book for a Special Experience!

Wonderful experience. I made a last minute booking and was welcomed even though I was the only one out of 16 who requested an English-speaking guide. The staff were friendly, personable, and attentive - they will guide you the whole way! The tour itself was stunning. I was in awe as I learned about the striking rock formations on the way to some of the more exclusive spots, beaches, and hidden gems. With few other tourists in sight, I felt like a millionaire on a private island! Thank you Jorge, Eggy, Pan, Noon, and everyone else for a great tour!

Best tour of my trip

The organization, tour routing and quality of staff exceeded expectations. Thanks for an awesome experience.

Great time, great energy!

Sakee, Stephane, and the rest of the crew were awesome! Even though the rest of our group was Spanish speaking both Sakee and Stephane were able to keep us engaged (their English is good!). Both my wife and I had a great time, we didn't feel rushed, and we got some great photos (some taken by the crew). The timing of stops was perfect. Both Sakee and Stephane had great energy and I would totally recommend them for anyone looking for a fun tour.

Enjoyable tour

Great trip with lots to do and see. Loved the snorkelling and swimming from the beach. The guides were both excellent - Marc and Sakee - being both helpful and informative. Would have been 5 stars but the email we received the day before the tour said we’d be picked up at 7.40 am when it was in fact 8.40 am!!! That’s a big difference and we had to pay an additional charge of 1100 baht for essentially a 15 minute return journey and 1 hour plus waiting around at reception!! Get your admin right as your tour is great but is being let down!!

Great beaches & friendly staff

It was a memorable experience. We visited nice beaches and they were less crowded. The lunch provided by the tour operator was good. The tour guides Stéphane and Sakhe were enthusiastic and very helpful. Even the captain and his assistant worked to provide a good experience to the customers.

Amazing

We had such an amazing time with Stéphane and Aris, they explained us every single part of each island, they bring with them the prefect Thai lunch, some fruit during the afternoon break. Again it was amazing Thanks you !

Worth it - do it!!!

This tour was amazing! Definitely worth the price. The guides, Ekky and Stéphane truly made the trip. I broke my foot and was nervous about being able to get on and off the boat and they were both so accommodating and helpful to me the entire time. The islands were absolutely beautiful, and the food was amazing as well. Stéphane even took photos of everyone at every stop! I recommend this tour to anyone.

Good experience but too much expensive

The tour was ok, Hong Island was the best one and we visited the last, it was a good decision to avoid big number of people. However from the two guides only one spoke Spanish properly, the second one zero. Also, we were supposed to have barbecue for lunch and it wasn't, we had sth else also very good. In general the tour was ok, but I did another tour with same number of people in a bigger speed boat por 68eur instead of 100eur. Good experience but extremely expensive.

This speed boat tour is 100% worth it !!

We had a great day with Sakee and Tuna, we left quite early, but this meant we were in super quiet areas. Sakee was bubbly and energetic, and Tuna was super friendly and helpful. We had a great day and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a boat tour, this one is a bit more pricey but definitely worth it, with lunch and drinks included, and sakee takes lots of pictures which she sends to you after. Sakees English was great, and Tuna was great at Spanish. Thank you so much !!

They deliver what they write..best suited tour for all age groups

This was our first time in Krabi and the first full day sea tour of our lives. Hence, we had a bit of scepticism before the start of this tour. Our tour started from Krabi pier with 4 crew, i.e. two tour guides (Bella and Thelessa) and two pilots/boat operators. We had received a detailed itinerary and do's-dont's the previous day, so it helped us prepare and pack for the best possible way. The boat started and the crew gave a walkthrough of the day's ahead. The most critical point which sets this tour apart from others is their efforts towards ensuring everyone's special needs and limitations are cared for, in order for everyone to enjoy the tour. Examples - me and my wife were snorkeling for first time. We couldn't get comfortable with the equipment to swim alone; Bella was kind enough to hold us and do a small snorkeling trip in the water. Later in the day, we were stationed in a small but exquisite island. As mentioned in their website, we had the whole Island to ourselves, we could swim, relax and then a hearty home cooked lunch was served. The tour ended with fresh cut pineapples and watermelon being served on board. Thanks to the crew and entire team of Thalassa for making this one of the most memorable days of our lives.

The BEST Tour company in Krabi

We had an amazing day on this tour- the treatment and care was great! from the pilot and all guides were fabulous- the explanation in all the island stop were very complete, the food was delicious, the people we spend the day with was great, even the picture takin was amazing. We had such an amazing day. I have done different tours with different tours and vendors, and Thalassa tour, no doubt, it is the BEST. I am planning a next trip with my family in June, and I will reach out to them, no doubt at all. Thanks - Adri (Spanish-Venezuelan)

Amazing!

Amazing! Beautiful scenery and so quiet in each location. We had almost every stop off point to ourselves! Great lunch - rice, noodles spring rolls, chicken, fruits etc, more than enough for everyone. They planned each location around where the sun would be so each stop off had lots of shade from the rock formation for you to relax, which was great as it’s so hot. The tour guides were great, so fun and funny. I recommend this tour to everyone!

Lovely day out with Thalassa Tour

Great organization & top and fun multilingual guides, specially Eak and Stephan. We did 2 tours with them and both amazing, avoiding crowds in busy spots, 100% recommended

Fantastic and well organized outing!

As many other reviewers have commented, these tours are well planned and executed and give the customer what they are looking for. My husband and I went on this tour recently, and it all turned out much better than I could’ve hoped for. They really do try to get you to parts of the islands that are not as touristy and offered to take lots of pictures which is awesome. Aek and Stephane did an excellent job of educating us, and making sure we had a great time. I had booked this trip and another one with another company before we arrived in Krabi and in comparison, Thalassa Tour was the much better run and executed trip, from the emails that were sent before the trip with key information to the logistics of hotel pick ups. Thank you thank you!

Trust me, this was the best

This trip was uncrowded !!!! Can’t emphasis it enough. We took another cruise to Phi Phi islands and there were hundreds of boats. This was far better

Great experience

The tour was really great, Stephanie, Aek and Noey really went above and beyond on the tour, they really made everyone feel at ease and made sure that no one was left out. I did see some reviews suggesting that this is a Spanish tour and while they do do cater to Spanish speakers they also make sure that English speakers are also given all the same info so you don't need to worry on that front. The team also took some really awesome photos of us, which was super nice of them. The only reason I knocked off a star is because we didn't get to walk up the Hong island viewpoint since we arrived just before closing time of the national park.

Fantastic small group experience going to lots of off the beaten track places.

Fabulous small group experience which we totally recommend if you are looking to get away from the crowds. Tuna and Marc knew all the quiet places to take us. We had a beach all to ourselves for a delicious lunch that the crew got ready. So peaceful. We went to an amazing mangrove swamp and were told all about the natural history. Everywhere was so scenic.

Good but not great

When I bought this tour, there was no discretion that I would be joining a tour with a guide who mostly spoke Spanish. The other staff were really nice and tried their best to speak in English for us so we would get the live commentary as well. The islands were ok, our favourite was Hong Island for sure.

Amazing experience

Tour was amazing! Probably the best i’ve ever been on. Entire crew - Sakee, Stephane and Noey were exeptional wonderfull guides and took great care of us, they were well organized and informative, funny also. Foods and drinks were amazing and nature is breathtakeing. I would give this tour and those guides a hundred points not only five! I could do this every day. Experienced much tours while traveling in thailand (some quite good some very bad) but this one wins in all parts! Worth every penny

Fantastic experience!

Excellent trip led by fantastic hosts: Stephane, Sakee & Noey. Well organised from start to finish with a small group of us (13) visiting the most beautiful locations. We were the only visitors on some of the islands they took us to, which is an amazing feat! It was an educational trip with a bit of everything: beach, swimming, mangroves, jungle, snorkelling, viewpoint-visiting, with lots of fantastic photo opportunities. Stephane knew all the best places for amazing photos. They catered for us as gluten-free vegetarians. Sakee & Noey too were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about the area, the flora & fauna; they made the whole trip a lot of fun too! Highly recommended.

Definitely recommend

Sakee, Marc and Nuey were amazing! They were all so friendly and made the trip amazing. Sakee was so energetic and vibrant, Marc was able to translate into many different languages and Nuey was so friendly and helpful. Would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Krabi.

Amazing Island Hopping

This tour was incredible! Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and energetic. We enjoyed every minute of this tour. They took us to places away from tourists and crowds. We had a wonderful lunch on a quiet island. They accommodate dietary restrictions well. The size of the group was smaller than other tour groups. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Highly recommend!

The best way to end my 2023! Panya, Stephane, and Noey went above and beyond to make us feel at home! Also bumped into Panya the next day and They took really nice photos too. Highly recommend a tour with them.

Fabulous day at the islands from Krabi

Relaxed day visiting a few very special places. Time to snorkel, swim and some short walks (optional). Scenery fabulous. Our guides - Panja, Louis and Anda looked after us like we were royalty and were very knowledgeable. Great lunch at an island on the beach. Thoroughly recommend!!!

Couldn’t be better

Traveling as a family with a 8 year old kid and was concerned about the prevalent sea conditions and weather. There was constant support and detailed responses to all questions. On the day boat was not over crowded but perfectly sized for the group size. All boat staff, captain, host were fabolous and always eager to help. Food was plentiful and great. There was always someone ready to help with a smile. Loved the day from start to end.

Great trip to James Bond Island, small group

Very good, well organized, good English and Spanish speaking guides. On the way to James Bond Island we visited 3 empty island, there was nobody, only our group of 17 people and guides. This small group is perfect, other agencies do it with 30+ group.

Didn't expect one tour could cover this much! Great atmosphere, perfect selection of islands and activities

Stephane, Bella and Noey were exceptional guides, and have created the perfect itinerary for this trip. It covered the two islands that I knew I wanted to see (Bond and Hong Islands), and we had a different type of experiences at each stop - snorkelling with fish, snorkelling with colourful coral, cruising around the Hong Island hidden lagoon, visiting the Hong Island beach with the option of a short hike to the view point, exploring a mangrove forest, and monkey watching. The lunch was also the best I've ever had on a tour, with a variety of hot Thai cuisine and drinks (including hot coffee and wine at the end). In short, this tour has everything, and Stephane made sure to take great pictures for us all which he sent to us after the tour. I only had time for one tour, and this was 100% the one for me to pick!

Wonderful

Places were very good, less crowd, good vegetarian food. Your was on time. Only 13 people on boat. Had wonderful time.

Highlight of our trip!

Such an amazing tour! We saw so many beautiful sites and had the best tour guides. Stephane and Panya were so friendly, hospitable, and knowledgeable. They kept us from the crowded boat areas and really made us feel like we had all these sites to ourselves. Both of these guys made the tour so enjoyable and were so easy to talk to. 5/5 stars!! If you are thinking about booking, this is your sign to do it!

Beautiful scenery!

Stephane and Panja really made this experience a delight! From fun facts to ease of photo snapping for the group - they were wonderful! I loved the islands and am in love with Thailand! :)

Fanastic locations and well planned schedule to maximise the trip benefits

The content and experiences on this trip were amazing ! Our expectations were exceeded . The memories of this journey will last !

Amazing places

The tour was spectacular, the places were very beautiful and all the staff were very nice. 100% recommended

Very well executed and customized guided tour 🤩

The tour started by being picked up from the king sign. Easy and short transport to the boat. This is where we meet Bella, the superhost! Funny, chatty and always smiling! She loved taking pictures! 🤩 The boat tour started in a pretty new boat, nice and spacy (ish). We we're 11 people. You could sit in the front, but only two, sometimes you could be more, depending on the waves and weather! We went snorkeling, it was fun, to bad our masks didn't fit at first, but they were quickly assisting us with new masks. The tour went on to a new snorkling spot, sadly there were no sight underwater and it was to much current, but they took us there despite this was not included! 😮 They took us to places were we avoided bad weather and tourism. We didn't go to shore on the James bond island and we were happy they didnt, because it was packed with tourists standing in lines. They took some beautiful pictures of everyone! The speedboat vs. longboat made a huge time difference and it made the guides able to customize the tour for the best experience! There were unlimited drinks (ice tea, cola, spirite etc..) and the lunch was fantastic on a beautiful private beach ⛱️ Very safety oriented, not on the expense of the fun. We had a full sunny day , lots of swimming and it was fantastic! We're super happy with Thalassa Tour! The guides could speak both English and Spanish very well! 🇪🇸🇬🇧🇹🇭 Thank you so much Bella, Mark, Captain and Fixing guy for making an unforgettable trip with lots of new memories 😊

A great day!

A great day and great staff - especially Marc and Bella. They went above and beyond and found some beautiful islands. Would recommend!

An AMAZING DAY!

I debated about spending the extra money for a smaller group on a speedboat - hands down the best decision!! We ended up with only four of us (!), plus our guide, captain and 2 crew! Our guide Tuna made in-the-moment decisions throughout the day to switch things up to avoid the rain and avoid the crowds! We had some beaches to ourselves, and others with very few other visitors, and maximized our potential with the tide changes - all due to Tuna’s expertise and guidance! Just DO IT!!

Great Day Touring the Islands

After a day on a private tour, we were thrilled to get our same guide, Saki (sp?) for a group tour the next day. There were probably 12-15 people on this tour, and it also came with snorkeling and a beautiful and delicious lunch. The snorkeling was different as there was a really strong current that the weaker swimmers really struggled with so it had to be cut short. Then the boat broke (this stuff happens on yours sometimes), but that just meant that we got to lounge on a nearly private island for 30-45 minutes while waiting on a new boat to arrive. The islands we visited were beautiful. I wouldn’t go just to go to the James Bond Islam though, that’s just a chance to get some photos in front of the rock with a lot of other boats. The last stop was a nearly private cove to swim in, and a lookout to climb up to- which was a stunning panorama of the surrounding islands. We’d recommend doing the hike to the viewpoint first, then swim in the cove to cool off. We had a reservation after the tour and they planned ahead to make sure we still made it despite the delay from the boat. A great day all around.

Five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We definitely had great time yesterday with the whole activity! Our tour guides Stephane and Deen were so much help with everything! Definitely recommending this day trip island hopping tour to everyone if you want to see the beauty of Krabi 👍🏻

A perfect day!

This was a fantastic tour and the most perfect day in nature. Stephane and Sakee were fun and friendly, they were wonderful guides and went out of their way to make sure we were having a good time. The small group was great - only nine of us today. We visited beautiful spots with stunning scenery, including some incredible mangroves. Somehow the guides planned and timed the day so we had each of the places we stopped at pretty much to ourselves. Excellent lunch on the beach - we were given our own vegetarian lunch between the two of us, at short notice - we only booked the trip the day before yesterday. Amazing trip - highly recommend!!

Hong Island Paradise

Easily our favourite trip of holiday - spectacular islands tour, finished off with Hong Island which is most idyllic island & beach we’ve ever seen. Viewpoint well worth the climb for photos (both taken from the top) take water though and don’t look down! Great trip organised by the tour -Thanks, Nick & Kara - Newc, UK

Amazing trip…..

Fabulous trip today, worth every penny. Great crew who made every single person feel valued. The scenery was amazing the lunch was fabulous and well catered for (including gluten free). Honestly if I could give more stars I would. Thank you to everyone 😁

Amazing tour with an amazing company! Super high standards!

Such a great company. First, it’s owned by a Spanish guy named Jorge who really cares about the business and holds a very high, European standard which is rare to see in Thailand. The guides are smart and professional. They consider the time and take you to the nicest spots *when they are not so busy*! Which is a huge plus. That alone is worth it all. But more than that, they take care of everything for you! Even the sand mats on the islands they will take it for you and rinse it from sand and bring it back with them to the boat every time. You just need to sit back and enjoy! Also, photos are a huge part of the trip and they take amazing photos and know all the nice angles and places! It’s like having a photographer with you the entire trip. Can’t recommend more. Amazing company! We did all 3 tours with them. Can’t compliment enough! Bella and Stefan our guides were just incredible we can’t thank them enough!

A fabulous day out at sea

It was an enjoyable tour visiting several islands. We had lunch on a private island with just our group and the food tasted home cooked and was good 👍 The crew was friendly and helpful. We had a fabulous day out at sea!

The best tour in Krabi!

Stephane and Sakee were the perfect tour guides. Everything went like clockwork. Our taxi arrived at the hotel on time to take us to the pier where Sakee met us with her beaming smile. The tour itself went super fast and we spent the day visiting one beautiful place after the next, with a delicious lunch at a a secluded beach and the spring rolls were to die for! Stephane gave my daughter a personal tour of the coral whilst snorkelling. It really was the perfect day and topped off by being dropped off on the beach next to our hotel.

Island hopping doesn't get any better than this!

Day tours in Krabi are plentiful, and you could be forgiven for thinking they're all about the same — rickety wooden boats, loud diesel engines, large groups being herded along. If you're in the market for something more refined, however — something that delivers laid-back fun in locations that knock your socks off, with guides who are a true joy to spend time with — then look no further, this is the tour for you. The excursion organized by Thalassa Tours, run by Sakee and Stephane, is a true cut above the rest. These two make a great team, and provide a small-group experience that goes well beyond the ordinary. They take you, via modern, comfortable speedboat, to hidden gem island locales that most other tours do not. Scenic beaches well timed to avoid the typical tourist hordes. Lush mangrove enclaves, all to yourself, surrounded by towering karst limestone cliffs that will take your breath away (Koh Roy). Plus numerous other spots, all brimming with the beauty & majesty of nature, to fill out the day. Sakee & Stephane are both personable and charming, with a knowledge and passion for the locations & environment, that will make your time with them a joy. As a bonus — and this is no small thing — they have a flair for taking photos that pop! They find the angles — sometimes without you even knowing it — that make your whole crew look fabulous. An absolute treat! Really can't say enough good things about this tour. Locations, Guides, Equipment, Support Staff, Timing — all come together for experience that you won't soon forget. A++ to the whole Thalassa team — we're already looking forward to next time!

Awesome trip

Stephane and Sakee our Guides did a very good job. The tour was very well organized, they were very kind and took amazing fotos of the tour guests. We visited great places and the food was awesome. We enjoyed a great day with a small group of people and had a lot of fun. One day in paradise :)
