Real experiences from real travelers
Booking a private longtail boat was the best decision we made in Krabi. We beat the crowds to Poda Island and had the beach to ourselves for an hour. Captain Ek was wonderful and flexible.
We were a group of 6 and the price per person for a private speedboat was barely more than a crowded group tour. We visited Hong Island and the lagoon at our own pace. Amazing experience.
The boat was clean and the crew was helpful. We loved snorkeling at Chicken Island without 50 other people around. Just remember to bring cash for the national park fees.
We did the sunset cruise on a luxury longtail. It was incredibly romantic. The crew set up a nice picnic for us on the beach. Highly recommended for couples.
The driver was a bit late but made up for it by giving us extra time at Phra Nang Cave. The private experience is so much better than the big ferries.

Longtail boats usually do not have toilets (you use facilities on the islands). Larger speedboats and luxury cruisers often have onboard restrooms.
For the 4 Islands or Hong Island, starting early (8:00 AM) helps avoid crowds, or leaving later (2:00 PM) allows for a sunset finish.
Yes, private tours are great for families as you can move at your kids' pace. Life jackets for children are provided.

It is possible but takes much longer (approx. 2.5 hours each way) and is weather-dependent. A speedboat is recommended for Phi Phi trips.
