Thailand · LONGTAIL BOAT TOURS
The engine is loud, the ride is slow and the boat gets into places nothing else does. The 15 below span Bangkok’s canals, the Krabi four-island loop and the Phi Phi bays, each priced by the seat or the whole boat.
A 2-hour longtail boat ride through Thonburi canals with stops at Baan Silapin and Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen for $37.50.
“The long boat ride is an excellent experience, an opportunity to see a part of Bangkok you would otherwise not see. Our host, Bella, is informative, engaging, and funny. So glad we did this. It’s definitely worth the investment and then some.”

“We booked this tour and we loved it (except the first stop which is really just terribly overcrowded and not wort it at all) the other 3 stops were so pretty and so peaceful. But what really made our tour great was our guide LUNA, she is the most amazing, funny and genuine person i have ever met.”
2-hour long-tail boat cruise through Bangkok klongs with stilt homes, Baan Silapin artist house, and a huge Buddha photo stop.
“Very good way to see Bangkok in a relaxed way. Safety is important for us and was nice to see that all passengers were provided life jackets. Friendly guide and nicely organised trip. Have done a similar tour in 2019 when the kids were 5 & 6 and enjoyed it a lot both times.”

“A really good full day with lots to see. The guide was very informative and helpful. James Bond Island well worth seeing as so beautiful We loved the kayak through the caves with very funny guy rowing. just would improve pick ups as was a very long time sat on the coach. In all through a brilliant day, would highly recommend.”
Phuket James Bond Island tour with Monkey Cave, Ko Panyi floating village lunch, canoe time at Talu Cave, and limestone karsts by longtail boat.
“MJ was an amazing tour guide — super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience truly authentic and exciting! The only thing was the transfer — our hotel was located outside the pickup zone, so we had to take a taxi to the meeting point, which took quite a bit of time. It would have been perfect if the transfer could have started from our location as well, so we could spend more time enjoying the program instead of traveling. Apart from that, the tour and the guide were absolutely fantastic — I’d definitely recommend it!”

“The guide we were paired with was fantastic and had a lovely boat. They basically pair you with a local they contract out and the office is not very communicative once you pay. That being said the trip was a blast and the guide was awesome! He went above and beyond, the water was amazing, and despite bad weather we had a great time!”

Phi Phi longtail boat snorkeling tour: Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Maya Bay, sharks, lunch, gear, and sunset. Small-group value.
“The day was great! We have seen a lot of nice places and experienced a lot of nice views, finishing with a nice sunset. I would recommend to ask when you arrive at the destinations what are they as the guide didn't explain anything apart from how much time we have at each place which also didn't meet the times at the experience description.”

Krabi 4 islands by longtail boat with snorkeling, sandbar walks, and a Thai beach buffet. Pickup in Ao Nang, smooth day out.
“The tour was great, guide had a great energy and was very friendly. Also I tried snorkeling for the first time and it was a fantastic experience! It's good to note that, going to 4 islands in such a short time means that the stops are usually 15-60mins. Always depending on the high/low tide. Only lunch brake was longer. The constant getting on and off the boat felt a bit exhausting in the end. However, overall we had a great experience.”
Private longtail boat on Cheow Lan Lake with Diamond Cave, wildlife and swimming at a floating raft house. Early or sunset timing.

They had everything we could need One, our guide was the best..he clicked beautiful pictures for us...we will treasure them for life. he found perfect spots on the beach for us, got us beach mats and cold water! The picnic setup was beautiful...the cold coconut water and fruit platter was what we needed at the end of a long swim and snorkel session! Just one suggestion for the food, the taste was yum, but it had gotten cold and bit soggy, which was natural considering the…”
