About this tour
When Jake from our team ran this 7–8 hour Krabi snorkel tour, we hit seven islands in one swing—Yawasom, Chicken Island, Tup, Moh, Taming, and Poda for sunset dinner, then Koh Raeng for night plankton snorkeling. The boat's a big longtail, so you're sharing the experience with others, but the pace moves steadily from reef to reef. Hotel transfers from Krabi Town and Ao Nang are baked in, which saves logistics headaches. It's a full-on day that stacks snorkelling, island-hopping, a proper dinner, and the novelty of night diving into one package.
Highlights
- Snorkel Yawasom Island's vibrant fish life mid-morning
- Walk the natural sandbank connecting Tup and Moh Islands
- Sunset dinner at Poda Island with westward views
- Night plankton snorkelling at Koh Raeng glows in dark
- Life jackets and snorkel gear provided; no kit hire fuss
- Round-trip transfers from central accommodation zones included
- Fruits, snacks, and water topped up throughout the day
What to expect
Jake's day started with a 6–7 a.m. pickup depending on location, then a 45-minute boat ride to the first island. You'll snorkel Yawasom, then cruise to Chicken Island to eyeball its peculiar rock shape from the water. After that, the boat drops anchor at Tup and Moh, where a natural sandbank emerges—you'll wade and swim across it, then get back in the water to explore. Taming Island offers another snorkel slot and a chance to laze on white sand. By late afternoon, the crew nudges toward Poda for a buffer dinner (Thai curries, rice, salads) timed with sunset—genuinely nice light, though you're eating communal-style with 20–30 other tourists. After dark, the boat heads to Koh Raeng for the plankton night-dive. Water temperature stays warm year-round, but the night session is the headline act: your movements glow bioluminescent blue in the shallows, which is properly wild the first time. Return to hotel by 9–10 p.m.

Good to know
This tour packs three experiences into one—daytime reef snorkelling, an island beach break, and the rare bioluminescent plankton night swim. If you're in Krabi for 2–3 days and want to maximise water time, it's efficient. Small swimmers and non-confident snorkellers do fine here; guides keep things manageable, and life jackets come with the package. Transfers from Ao Nang and Krabi Town hotels are included, which beats sorting your own tuk-tuk.
The National Park entrance fee (200 THB per adult, 100 THB per child) isn't bundled—you pay on arrival. If you're staying at Klong Muang or Tub Kaek, add 100 THB for extra transfers. The tour isn't suitable if you're pregnant, have heart/blood pressure issues, or spinal problems. Early wake-up and full-day pace means light sleepers and those wanting a slower vibe might feel rushed. Crowds are typical for Krabi; the boat holds 30–40, and sunset dinner is group seating. Bringwetwear or buy a rash vest. Peak season (Nov–Feb) books out; book ahead.
