KRABI FOUR ISLANDS TOURS
Poda, Chicken Island, Tup and Phra Nang, with a sandbar between two of them that only surfaces at low tide. These 15 differ on boat, lunch and how long you actually get in the water, and the price gap between a longtail and a speedboat is smaller than you would think.
Spend six hours visiting Chicken Island, Koh Tup, Koh Poda, and Phra Nang Cave Beach by longtail boat. Expect snorkeling, a low-tide sandbar, Thai lunch, fruit, water, and hotel transfers. Guides such as Toy and Luna are often praised for their warmth and care.
“Our guide Angelina (= Luna) was great fun, kept us good informed and looked after us very well. She needs a raise….”
Join Michael and his crew aboard a spacious wooden junk for a relaxed afternoon around Krabi’s islands. Snorkel, kayak, paddleboard, eat a Thai buffet, watch the sunset, then swim near Phra Nang Cave Beach as bioluminescent plankton flashes around you.
“Probably one of the best things money can buy. I had the best day ever. The crew and ship are awesome and Thailand is sick”
Spend 390 minutes cruising from Ao Nang to Phra Nang, Poda, Chicken, Tub, and Mor islands. Your English-speaking guide, such as Irene, Rosie, or Tony, handles the timing, photos, drinks, and safety while you swim, snorkel, eat a Thai buffet, and cross a remarkable sandbar.

“Bai and crew were awesome! I am a solo traveler and i recently got in a scooter accident. The whole crew was really accomodating and made sure i was having a good time. They even carried me off and on the boat so my wounds wouldnt touch the water! Although i couldnt do the swimming parts i still had a great time!”
