From Railay: Private Longtail Boat Island-Hopping Tour

Set off from Railay at sunrise on a boat for just your group, reaching nearby islands and beaches before tour groups appear on the water.

Meet your captain in Railay and board your private longtail boat, with snorkel masks, life jackets, fruits, and water laid out before departure.

Cruise between Railay's islands, step ashore on beaches, wander through coves, and watch the coastline slide past from your longtail boat.

Drift into lagoons for swims, float in clear water, then sit on the sand and let the timing of each stop follow the plan you agree onboard.

Pick your route, from a 3-island 4-hour circuit to 4- or 7-island 6-hour tours, and match the itinerary length to how much time you have.
