Krabi 7 Islands Sunset Tour by Longtail Boat with BBQ and Plankton (from Krabi)
The same evening, in a wooden boat with no more than twelve people aboard. A longtail works its way out of Ao Nang past Railay, Phra Nang Cave and the Tub Island sandbar, with swimming stops in the sheltered water of Puya Bay and off Tang Ming. Barbecue dinner on the sand at Koh Poda, bioluminescent plankton after dark, and a slow run home under the stars.

Krabi 7 Islands Sunset Tour by Longtail Boat: a Small Group, a Beach Barbecue and Glowing Water
A longtail boat carries at most twelve passengers, and on an evening trip that number is the whole difference. Nobody queues for the ladder, nobody shouts over an engine at full speed, and the crew can hold an anchorage for another ten minutes if the light is worth it.
The boat leaves the Ao Nang pier at 13:40 and follows the limestone: Railay, the shrine inside Phra Nang Cave, the sandbar off Tub Island that only surfaces with the right tide, and the coral of Chicken Island. Swimming stops follow in the calm water of Puya Bay and around Tang Ming. Dinner is a Thai buffet laid out on the white sand of Koh Poda while the sky turns red, and the last stop is in the dark: bioluminescent plankton that lights up blue wherever you move the water. The way back is slow, on deck, under the stars.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell whether an excursion is right for me?
Every tour and activity is described in detail in your personalized itinerary. For each excursion you will find precise information on:
- Difficulty level: easy, moderate or demanding.
- Duration: from half a day to a full day.
- Requirements: minimum level of fitness, recommended age and accessibility.
Please also bear in mind that sea excursions by speedboat are usually not suitable for pregnant women or for people with heart or back problems. Travelers with disabilities should be accompanied by someone who can assist them when needed. If you have any doubts or specific requirements, your Travel Consultant is always at your disposal for personalized advice.
What happens in case of bad weather?
Safety is our priority. If weather conditions make an activity dangerous or inadvisable, the excursion will be:
- Rescheduled: we will try to move the activity to another day of your trip.
- Replaced: if rescheduling is not possible, we will offer an alternative activity of equal value.
- Refunded: if neither rescheduling nor replacement is possible, you will receive a full refund for the excursion you were unable to take.
Please remember that rain during the wet season rarely spoils an entire day. You will always be informed in advance of any changes.
What are the pick-up times?
All meeting and pick-up details are clearly stated in your final travel documents (which you receive about 3 weeks before departure).
- Time: we will let you know the exact pick-up time. Please be ready at the agreed place at least 15 minutes beforehand.
- Pick-up point: in most cases the pick-up takes place directly in the lobby of your accommodation (if it lies within the areas covered by the service). If it does not, we will tell you the nearest meeting point.
What should I bring with me on the excursions?
For every excursion we provide a list of recommended items. In general, we always suggest:
- Suitable clothing: for example, long pants and no low-cut tops when visiting the Grand Palace in Bangkok, light and breathable clothes for hot areas, a swimsuit, or comfortable shoes for light trekking.
- Protection: hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
- Hydration: water, especially on hot days.
- Vouchers and documents: where required, a copy (digital or printed) of your booking voucher.
Are meals or drinks included during the tours?
It depends on the excursion. The description of each tour in your itinerary clearly states whether the following are included:
- Lunch, dinner or snacks.
- Water or other drinks.
If you have any food allergies or intolerances, please let us know when you book, so that we can inform our local partners in advance.
Can I cancel or change a single excursion?
Yes, but specific terms apply. Cancellation and amendment conditions vary from one activity to another.
You will find the exact details for each excursion in the Terms and Conditions attached to your quotation. If you need to make a change or a cancellation, please write to us at info@thailandfantastic.com as soon as possible.
Are young children and infants allowed?
It depends on the activity. Some excursions, especially those by boat or those requiring physical effort, may have age or height restrictions for safety reasons. Any such restriction is stated in the tour description.
Please always tell us the exact age of every participant, children in particular, when you request a quotation.
