The experience

Best for
A family or a small group who want to set the pace and leave early
Not for you if
You are travelling alone on a tight budget, or want a guide on board

This is the private boat, sold on its own. You pick one of four itineraries and a length of four or six hours, and the longtail and its captain are yours for that time: no other passengers, and no waiting for a group to climb back aboard.

That gives you a say over one of the two things that shape any island day near Ao Nang. Nobody controls the tide, but with your own boat you set the pace and can ask to leave earlier, though no one can promise fewer boats. The listing is for swimming, snorkelling and time on the beach; it names a captain, not a guide, and does not mention lunch.

Read the rest

A private boat costs more than a seat on a shared one, so it makes most sense for a family or a small group. The four itineraries are described on the booking page, and this page does not list their islands: read them before you choose, and check the four-island longtail tour if what you want is a set route with lunch.

Common questions

Private longtail or a four-island tour?

Our four-island longtail tour also has a private option, but on one set route, with lunch in its title. This tour gives you four routes to choose from and a four-hour option, without lunch in the listing.

Which islands will we see?

That depends on the itinerary you pick. The booking page describes all four; read them before you choose.

Is hotel pickup included?

The listing does not mention it. Check before you pay how you get to the boat in Ao Nang.
