I’m planning a trip to Thailand in 2025 and will be spending a few days in Krabi. I’ve heard a lot about the famous island-hopping tours, but I’m a bit confused about how they actually work. Can I easily book island-hopping tours directly from Krabi town or Ao Nang, or do I need to arrange them in advance online? Which islands are usually covered in these tours (like Phi Phi, Hong Islands, or the 4 Islands tour)? Also, are these tours suitable for first-time travelers, and what’s the best way to avoid overcrowded boats or tourist traps? Any tips on costs, duration, and whether private tours are worth it would be super helpful. Thanks in advance for your advice!”
