About this tour
When Noah from our team ran this 7–8 hour full-day tour, we shot out across the Andaman Sea hitting four islands — Chicken Island, Tup, Poda, and Phra Nang Cave — all within spitting distance of Krabi. The vibe is classic Thai island-hopping: speedboat or longtail, powder-soft beaches, snorkelling in sheltered water, and lunch on the sand. You're with a mixed crowd of tourists, mostly families and couples, and the pace is steady rather than rushed. Good mix of time in the water and time to actually sit still under coconut palms.
Highlights
- Chicken Island's quirky limestone monolith, actual talking point.
- Snorkel gear and lagoon time included — no extra gear rental hassle.
- Lunch and fresh fruit on a proper beach, not a boat.
- Four distinct stops hit before the sun gets too low.
- Door-to-door pickup from Ao Nang and nearby zones.
- Life jackets and guide provided — safety ticked off.
- Sheltered snorkel spots, manageable water conditions.
What to expect
You'll be picked up at your hotel around early morning (exact time on your voucher). The crew bundles you onto a speedboat or longtail depending on group size, and off you go. Chicken Island comes first — it's genuinely just a dramatic rock jutting out of the water, but the photo ops are solid. Then it's into clear, calm lagoons for snorkelling; the reef isn't wild, but you'll spot fish and it's calm enough that even non-confident swimmers relax. Mid-morning you're anchored off another island, maybe Tup, for beach time and wading.
Lunch lands around midday on Poda Island or Phra Nang — actual table, actual fresh fruit, not a sad sandwich in a bag. The afternoon is more snorkelling and beach bumming on the final island. By late afternoon you're heading back to town, usually arriving by early evening. The whole thing feels well-oiled; guides keep things moving without feeling rushed.

Good to know
This is a proper introduction to Krabi's islands without feeling chaotic. The inclusions are generous — snorkel kit, lunch, fruit, guide, insurance, park fees all sorted. No hidden costs for the core experience. Suits all fitness levels, and kids are welcome as long as they're with an adult. Pick-up from Ao Nang and surrounding areas is free and straightforward.
Expect a mixed-age, mixed-nationality crowd — 12 to 35 people depending on vessel. Water conditions and timing can shift due to weather or tides, so don't bank on exact timings. You'll be in a boat for chunks of the day, so prone backs or motion sensitivity should factor in. Pregnant women and those with heart or respiratory conditions should sit this one out. Bring your own sun cream, swimwear, and sandals — the operator won't provide them. Cancellations are non-refundable and name on booking must match passport exactly.
Plan to be at your hotel lobby 15 minutes early. Weather can push times around. Maximum group sizes vary by vessel (longtail 12, speedboat 35). Public transport nearby if you're not using the pickup.
