Krabi Town is a Thai market town that was around some time before global vacationers began to visit the region. It's charming, laid back, and as much as the word is overused, it's very local.

Its special character is a welcome differentiation to the encompassing beach regions and exciting tours.

Krabi is a great place for nature lovers and tourists who just want a holiday away from the crowds and in a peaceful place with pleasant weather and a calm environment.

Glittering white sand, stunning landscapes, shining sun, transparent water and tropical climate of Railay Beach are quite pleasing. However, all these things don’t set it apart; what indeed set it apart is its limestone caves ceded in high and mighty cliffs. Even though it is accessible only by boats (due to sharp cliffs on both sides), Railay Beach has been able to gain popularity as one of the best places to visit in Krabi. Apart from its few long-tailed boats and scanty bars, the island is secluded.

14. Krabi Shell Cemetery

Krabi Shell Cemetery is one of the oldest places to visit on Krabi Island, dating back to more than 40 million years.

The place is a haven for geology buffs and sea-relic lovers. There are mangrove forests and several small Chinese temples to explore around the cemetery.

15. Klong Thom Hot Springs

Free flowing warm water, decorated by shiny rocks that have been smoothed by the ferocious water flow – that’s the scene at Klong Thom hot springs. These deep-rooted thermal springs are located inside the volcanic chambers of Klong Thom. The warm water is believed to possess certain healing properties that help aid the skin diseases. Stretches of vegetation come as a welcome gift, away from the hustles-bustles of the city.

16. Khao Khanab Nam

Khao Khanab Nam is the most recognizable landmarks in Krabi. These are actually a set of mountains on either side of the bay. Their sparse vegetation and dusky brown color set the color of blue ocean bright. On top of these two mountains sits a labyrinth of caves. Made of stalagmites and stalactites, these caves are said to date to pre-historic era. Alas, the beauty comes with a beast. There have been numerous findings of human skeletons in these caves.

17. Phra Nang Beach

While you might have to take a boat from Ao Nang to reach this little haven, it will be worth your while. The ride might cost you around 100 baht or so and will take only 10 minutes.

" The tour and the staff on duty was good and nice throughout the 4 Island. The food that is provided also is nice. Overall the tour awesome and i enjoy the experience and it is my first time going to the Island visit. "

4 ISLANDS TOUR / 4 ISLANDS ECO TOUR

Semi Private Boat Tours

Welcome on board! We introduce you to the only Tour Operator in Krabi running this tour by Speedboat!

Why by speedboat and not by long tail boat?

For you to know from Ao Nang to Railay by long tail boat takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour, while by speedboat you will do it in 10 -15 minutes. This means more time for you on the islands, which at the end is the reason why you are here.

Furthermore, the speedboat is much safer and more comfortable than a long tail boat, including the seats and the stability of the boat, as well as the access and exit to the boat In addition, sailing by speedboat will permit us to snorkel in islands that are further from the coast and that in a long tail boat would take forever to reach, however by speedboat we will get there in the blink of an eye. The snorkeling that you can do in these islands, which are located in the open sea, usually is much better than the one you would do near Ao Nang if you had to make the tour by long tail.

Ultimately, we offer you an exclusive tour, where we want you to enjoy as much time as possible on the islands or snorkeling, and all in the most comfortable way for you!

Probably, if you are planning your trip to Krabi, you have heard about the famous tour to the 4 Islands of Krabi. If so, keep reading...

Krabi has more than 200 islands, many of them are white sand beaches with crystal clear water, while others are large inhabited islands, or simple rock formations in the middle of the sea.

During our 4 Islands tour in Krabi you will visit these 4 wonders, they are completely different between each other, each of them hides something special: sandbanks with crystal water, princess caves, incredible viewpoints... Yes, you have heard it correctly!

Still more eager to know the 4 Islands of Krabi?

13:00 to 19:30

• Night Snorkel

• Visit 4 Islands

And did you know that millions of years ago you could walk from Phuket to Krabi? Now, as you may see by yourself it is divided by the sea.

These and other curiosities will be explained in our 4 Islands tour from Krabi!

All this at a fair and affordable price.

What does the 4 Islands Krabi Tour include?

In this wonderful 4 Islands tour from Krabi by “Speedboat”, we will visit the famous Railay Beach, as well as the jewels of the 4 Islands area: Poda, Tup and Chicken islands!

We will also enjoy a Thai lunch picnic style on the beach, with a great variety of typical local dishes.

We will culminate this outstanding 4 Islands tour with the spectacular Phranang Beach, or another amazing beach around the 4 Islands area, to enjoy an amazing Sunset, and of course the night snorkel, a nature phenomenon, that will shock you in a beautiful way...

RAILAY BEACH

Normally and depending on the weather, the tides and the level of occupancy on the beaches, the first spot we visit on our tour to the 4 Islands of Krabi, will be Railay Beach, one of the most popular beaches in all Thailand.

Railay West Beach is surrounded by lush jungle and massive limestone formations; known worldwide as the "paradise" for climbers, and one of the essential beaches to visit in the area of the 4 Islands of Krabi.

In Railay Bay, we will find 3 beaches: Railay West, Railay East, and the spectacular Phranang Beach!!!

With our Speedboat we will sail the Andaman Sea, heading to Poda Island! By speedboat we will reach the islands in just 10 or 15 minutes, enjoy the scenery comfortably from the boat and take advantage of spending more time in the beautiful 4 Islands of Krabi, because in the end you come here from so far to admire these views without worrying about timing and away from super tight schedules.

Poda Island is a white sand beach surrounded by amazing limestone rock formations, and it is here where we will enjoy a delicious traditional Thai food, buffet style, served on the beach and away from the crowds as much as possible!

Tup Island and Chicken Island

During our tour to the 4 Islands from Krabi, we will be able to glimpse Tup Island, a beautiful island with crystal clear water, and connected to Chicken Island when the tide is low, through gorgeous white sandbanks made out of corals.

Only on a full moon day, you can even walk from one to the other, something magical that only happens once a month!

After the Thai buffet lunch on the beach, we will continue our excursion to Koh Sii in the Krabi sea, considered one of the best diving and snorkeling spots in the 4 Islands area of Krabi!

The waters here have great visibility and are full of corals, both: hard and soft. Your safety is our priority, therefore in our 4 Islands tour we will snorkel in small groups together with our guides, to be able to enjoy the rich underwater life of the Krabi sea, with countless tropical fish such as Nemo and Dori, butterfly fish, barracuda, puffer fish, sergeant major...

One of the main advantages of operating this tour by speedboat is that we can reach any island in the 4-Islands area in a very short time, this means that we can snorkel in better diving spots compared to the ones we would do by long tail boat, because some of these amazing snorkeling spots are located in the open sea and far from the coast and in a long tail boat it would take too long to arrive. So, in the end would mean a poor snorkeling session and less time for you on the beach.

This is why we will be able to snorkel for example in Koh Sii, considered one of the best diving and snorkeling spots in the 4 Islands area of Krabi and that is located further from the coast!

PHRANANG BEACH

Phranang cave.

We will keep sailing around the 4 Islands Krabi and we will head to Phranang Beach located in Railay Bay, or to another beautiful beach in this area, where we will stop to enjoy a small snack while we admire one of the best Sunsets in all Thailand, we want you to enjoy it!

Also on this beach is located the famous "Phranang Cave" or "Princess Cave", which hides an emotional legend within its walls, some people say that you still can hear the princess crying for love... It is also known for the large number of phallic symbols in honor of the fertility goddess! In our 4 Islands trip in Krabi we will explain you everything you need to know about the Phranang Cave.

And finally, the most awaited moment by many will come! Its night snorkel time!! On the way to Ao Nang, Krabi, we will stop to snorkel at night and bathe among fluorescent plankton!!! The feeling is wonderful and unforgettable, definitely a once in a lifetime experience! Certain types of plankton can produce their own light through chemical reactions that take place inside their bodies when they move, this unique phenomenon of nature is known as Bioluminescence.

This activity lasts approximately 10 minutes.

Around 7 - 7.30 pm, we will be back to Ao Nang.

The Best Krabi Island Tours To Book (5 Stars Only!)

This article on The Best Krabi Island Tours may contain affiliate links. If you click and make a purchase using these links, I will make a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks so much for supporting Frugal Frolicker! :)

If you’re traveling to Krabi, Thailand, odds are you’ll be looking to book one or more Krabi island tours while you’re there. And rightfully so – this whole region is just begging to be explored by boat with 200 or so islands around.

There are 3 main types of Krabi island tours:

• 4 Islands (very close to Ao Nang, Krabi Town, Railay)
• Phi Phi Islands (halfway between Ao Nang/Krabi Town/Railay and Phuket)
• James Bond Island / Phang Nga Bay (close to Phuket)

Having visited Krabi twice now and sampled all 3 types of Krabi island tours, I can tell you that they are ALL fantastic and worthwhile. Do all 3 if you can. And if you can’t, then read on and see which appeals to you more :)

If you’re soon to be Krabi-bound, I have a few very important tips for you:

• Base yourself in Ao Nang. Is it the nicest place to stay in Krabi, no – but it’s the most convenient if you’re doing boat trips around Krabi. Pretty much all tours pick up and drop off in Ao Nang. If you’re staying in Railay or Krabi Town, you will likely have to make your own way to Ao Nang (whether it’s by bus or taxi from Krabi Town, or long tail boat from Railay). Some Krabi island tours may include pick-up from Railay, but it’s often an additional charge.
• If your Krabi trip is more than a few days: stay in Ao Nang for the first part of your Krabi trip while you do your boat tours, then stay in Railay for the last part of your trip and chill. This is what I did on my most recent trip to Krabi and it was 1000000% the right move. 
• Book your Krabi island tours ahead of time online. Sure, you could wing it and just book the cheapest options in town when you get there. But don’t be surprised when you end up in a huge group with guides that hardly speak English and make no efforts to avoid the crowds.

I’m all for being spontaneous and waiting til the last possible minute to commit to a plan, but I feel very strongly that it’s best to book your Krabi island tours before you arrive there. That way you can read the reviews, check the itineraries, and ensure that you’re actually booking a quality tour.

Krabi 4 Islands Tour

If you can only book one Krabi island tour while visiting Ao Nang, Krabi, or Railay, let it be the 4 Islands Tour.

Why? Because most other Krabi island tours you can do from Phuket, as those islands are closer to it. But the 4 islands are further away from Phuket, and they’re much easier to access from Ao Nang or Railay (all within a 20-30 minute boat ride).

Not to mention, the 4 islands are flippin’ gorgeous!

The Krabi 4 Islands Tours stop at:

• Chicken Island (Koh Gai) – An island with a limestone rock formation shaped like a chicken head (it’s easily viewed from the water, so doesn’t necessarily require a dedicated stop)
• Tup Island (Koh Tup) – An island connected to two others by sandbar at low tide. It’s got beautiful crystal clear water for swimming.
• Poda Island (Koh Poda) – Has a beautiful and expansive white sand beach with picturesque views of limestone rock formations protruding from the water. The best spot for sunbathing.
• Railay – Technically not an island, but is only accessible by boat so feels like one :) Typically stops at Phra Nang Beach (one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Thailand!) and cave.

Though all of the 4 Islands Tours from Krabi stop at the same islands in varying order, the most common itinerary has an early afternoon start and finishes up with sunset on Phra Nang Beach in Railay, followed by a swim with the bio luminescence (phosphorescent plankton) nearby once it starts getting dark. A handful of tours may opt to start early to avoid the crowds, and finish earlier without the sunset or plankton swim.

Here are the best 4 Islands Tours from Krabi:

4 Islands Tour with Thalassa

The Thalassa 4 Islands Tour stops at the aforementioned four islands, plus Koh Sii: an island slightly further from the Krabi coast that offers excellent snorkeling. It ends with sunset at Railay and night snorkeling, as many similar tours do.

This is supposedly the only Krabi 4 Islands Tour done by speedboat (most use a traditional longtail boat instead, which is slower and less comfortable). That means less time spent in transit and more time spent on the islands! (And it’s how they’re able to stop at Koh Sii as well, which would be too far away for a longtail boat tour to fit in).

Thalassa tours are marketed as “semi-private”, which essentially means that they have smaller groups on board and provide a high touch experience to guests which makes it FEEL like a semi-private tour.

It’s also worth noting that Thalassa also offers a different version of this tour with an eco focus (though as of June 2023, it’s not being offered). I’m not sure if or when their 4 Islands Eco Tour will return, but it runs from 9am-5pm, swaps out the sunset and night snorkeling for a beach cleanup instead, and is half the price of the regular 4 Islands Tour.

4 Islands Tour with Thalassa Time: 1pm-7:30pm Price: ฿3100 (~ US$94) TripAdvisor Rating : 5.0 / 435+ reviews Choose this Krabi 4 Islands Tour if: You prefer to travel with a smaller group; great snorkelling is important to you; you’d rather travel by speedboat CLICK TO BOOK THIS TOUR  

5 Island Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Krabi Sunset Cruises

Yes, you read that right – it’s 5 islands instead of 4!

This sunset cruise skips Koh Tup and stops instead at two small islands just off the coast of Railay (along with Poda Island, Chicken Island, and Railay). Though technically , this tour doesn’t actually stop *at* the islands but rather, close to them – so if being able to step onto each island and take lots of photos there is important to you, this may not be the Krabi 4 Islands tour for you.

Instead, Krabi Sunset Cruises uses an old junk (aka a pirate ship) with huge sails for its tours. This tour centers more around the epic boat than the islands: it’s all about relaxing on the deck with a drink, jumping off the top level, and paddling around the islands with a kayak or stand-up paddleboard (if you feel like it). It’s less of a tour, and more of an experience.

Like many of the other Krabi 4 Islands Tours, this one ends with sunset at Railay and a bio luminescence swim after dark.

5 Island Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Krabi Sunset Cruises Time: 2pm-8pm Price: ฿2800 (~ US$93) TripAdvisor Rating : 5.0 / 1100+ reviews Choose this Krabi 4 Islands Tour if: You’d rather chill and soak up the vibes than sightsee; you want to try your hand at paddling without it being the main focus of the tour; you want to feel like you’re on a pirate ship CLICK TO BOOK THIS TOUR  

Phi Phi Island Tour

The Phi Phi islands are an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Phuket… but did you know that you can book Phi Phi island tours from Krabi as well?

Yup it’s true! Koh Phi Phi is actually about halfway between Phuket and Krabi, which means travel time is nearly the same no matter which location you depart from.

So if you’re planning a trip to Krabi, you should definitely consider Phi Phi as one of your Krabi island tours to book!

The Phi Phi islands need no introduction, because odds are you’ve seen the photos or watched The Beach. Maya Bay is the runaway star of the islands, home to a beach so beautiful that its image will be forever seared in your mind. You’re not allowed to swim here anymore, but you can walk in up to your knees.

And there are several other worthwhile places to see around the islands, from stunning lagoons to epic snorkeling spots to picturesque beaches (where you CAN swim). Just know that no matter when and where you go around Koh Phi Phi, there WILL be other people around – it’s a very popular area, with little that’s off the beaten track – but for good reason!

Most Phi Phi island tours stop at:

• Maya Bay – A stunning white sand beach encircled by limestone cliffs, made famous by The Beach.
• Pi Leh Bay (Lagoon) – A deep blue-colored lagoon often filled with boats. There’s not really anywhere to land in the lagoon, so visitors tend to either party on their boat or swim just off of it.
• Monkey Beach – If you want to see wild monkeys, this is the place (though they are known to steal things from visitors, and can get aggressive). The beach is a short walk from the bay where your boat will stop, but you can usually spot monkeys climbing the rocks around the bay without having to leave the boat.
• Viking Cave – A very cool-looking cave you can peek into while passing by on the boat. Around the corner is an excellent snorkeling spot.
• Bamboo Island – A very popular place where you can hang out on the white sand beach and swim. It’s easy to avoid the crowds just by walking further down the beach, away from where the boats anchor. It’s also a good spot to have lunch (many tour groups do when they stop here).

Here are the best Phi Phi Islands Tours from Krabi:

Koh Phi Phi Tour with Thalassa

Thalassa also runs a semi-private (small group) tour to the Phi Phi islands (I believe the max is 16 guests?). There’s more of a focus on snorkeling with this particular tour, and depending on conditions, there will be multiple opportunities to snorkel.

The Koh Phi Phi Tour is their most popular tour and it’s extremely highly rated on TripAdvisor, so you really can’t go wrong with this one. Note that there is an extra charge if you’re not staying in Ao Nang and need to be picked up/dropped off at Railay or Krabi town.

Koh Phi Phi Tour with Thalassa Time: 8am-3pm Price: ฿3250 (~ US$99) TripAdvisor Rating : 5.0 / 576+ reviews Choose this Phi Phi Islands Tour if: You prefer a small group tour; you want to do lots of snorkelling CLICK TO BOOK THIS TOUR  

Phi Phi + 4 Islands Tour with Krabi Ezy Trails

One excellent reason to book a Phi Phi Island tour from Krabi instead of Phuket is that there are some tours that add on additional island stops on the way there and back, which gives you more bang for your buck.

Krabi Ezy Trails offers a combo Phi Phi + 4 Islands Tour, ideal for anyone who might not have time or money to book the two separate tours, or for those prone to seasickness who want to limit the amount of time they spend on boats. The latter is definitely me, which was my main reason for booking this tour.

I’m very happy with that decision and I absolutely LOVED this experience! Also happy to report that not once did I feel rushed, despite having so many stops to cover on this tour. It felt like just enough time to enjoy each location. And I didn’t get seasick!

It’s also worth mentioning that this is not a small group tour like Thalassa’s. Our group had ~25 people in it, which didn’t feel like too much.

This Phi Phi island tour is marketed as an “Early Bird – Avoid The Crowds” tour, but it’s important to set appropriate expectations for what exactly this means.

Yes, this tour starts earlier than most (if not all) other tours to Phi Phi islands, but it doesn’t go straight to Maya Bay. The boat stops at another island on the way (Koh Tup) for breakfast, then arrives at Maya Bay just before 9am when plenty of others are already there. But it ended up being fine because the earlier you get there, the more water will be covered in shadows and not looking electric blue like you see in photos. And the later you get there, the more crowded it gets. Maya Bay at 9am seemed to be the best balance between the two variables.

And yes, Krabi Ezy Trails does its best to avoid the crowds… but c’mon, this is Phi Phi, an extremely popular tourist spot. There’s really no *avoiding* the crowds, just minimizing them, which this tour did as much as possible.

Since there are more stops on this tour vs. a regular Phi Phi island tour from Krabi, be ready for a LONG day of aquatic adventuring! The boat leaves Ao Nang at 7am, which means you’ll get picked up from your hotel even earlier than that. We returned around 5pm (though it says 4pm on their website), making it a solid 10 hours in the Thai heat. If you’re someone who’s sensitive to hot weather and the sun, you may want to opt for a shorter tour instead of this one (though there’s plenty of undercover seating on the boat and shady spots on some of the islands).

Phi Phi + 4 Islands Tour with Krabi Ezy Trails Time: 7am-4pm Price: ฿2500 (~ US$78) TripAdvisor Rating : 5.0 / 372+ reviews Choose this Phi Phi Islands Tour if: You want to avoid the crowds as much as possible; you want to save time and money by doing Phi Phi and the 4 Islands in one tour; you don’t mind a very long day with lots of stops and time spent in the sun CLICK TO BOOK THIS TOUR  

Phang Nga Bay / James Bond Island Tour

A boat trip around Phang Nga Bay is an absolute MUST-DO if you’re in Phuket or Krabi.

James Bond Island (Koh Tapu) is the most well known of the many picturesque islands in the bay; it just happens to be the most well known, thanks to appearing in a James Bond movie. Consequently, many Phang Nga Bay tours will be marketed as James Bond Island tours.

On James Bond Island there’s a man-made beach that swarms with tourists, so if massive crowds don’t appeal to you, you might want to look for James Bond Island tours that don’t actually stop at the island. Both of the tours I recommend below don’t stop at James Bond Island, but you’ll be able to see it and take photos as your boat passes by.

Also note that Phang Nga Bay is much further afield, which is why you won’t find too many tours to this area operating out of Krabi. There are many more options for James Bond Island tours from Phuket, which cruise around Phang Nga Bay by speedboat, catamaran, or larger boat, depending on the operator.

Hong Island is another landmark in Phang Nga Bay. It actually merits its own dedicated tour, that’s how incredible it is – but it’s often an included stop on the James Bond Island tours, so it’s like a 2-for-1 special if you book it.

Hong Island is blessed with a lovely lagoon, one of the most beautiful beaches in Thailand, and a ridiculously impressive viewpoint some 200+ steps above. It is understandably very busy during the day, and less so early morning or late afternoon. It’s likely that a James Bond Island tour won’t stop at all of these locations around Hong Island, so pay close attention to the tour itinerary and make sure whatever tour you book includes the locations you want to see.

There are dozens (hundreds?) of other islands around Phang Nga Bay, some of which you’ll cruise past, swim off of, or land on. There are limestone cliffs and rock formations everywhere you look out here: truly, the journey is the best part of any James Bond Island tour.

Many James Bond Island tours include an option for canoeing or kayaking, and there are a few where paddling is the main focus of the tour. I recommend booking a tour where you at least have the option to try it even if it’s not the focus, because it is an extremely cool experience paddling into the hongs (Thai for “rooms”; in this case, the hongs are more like enclosed pools) around Phang Nga Bay. Hong Island is only one of them!

James Bond Island / Phang Nga Bay tours often stop at:

• James Bond Island
• Hong Island
• Panak Island
• Koh Panyi floating village

Here are the best Phang Nga Bay / James Bond Island Tours:

James Bond Island Tour with Thalassa

The James Bond Island Tour was the tour I elected to do with Thalassa on my recent trip to Krabi. Unlike the 4 Islands Tours and Phi Phi Tours, this one has a completely unique itinerary, visiting locations that no other tours stop at. You’ll be dropped off on islands with completely empty beaches, and avoid the crowds at the more popular stops. It’s Robinson Crusoe vibes to the MAX.

Very few tours to James Bond Island run from Krabi because it’s quite a distance to cover. Thalassa makes it worth the journey by incorporating several stops along the way, plus they’re able to travel faster with a speedboat. It didn’t feel like too much time in transit at all, so don’t worry about it taking too long to get there.

They stop the boat close to James Bond Island and allow plenty of time for photos (complete with James Bond movie music + photo props!). We also had lunch at a secluded spot on Koh Yao Noi, snorkelled off of a random island with red rock, and swam off of another island with incredible views and gorgeous white sand. Like the other Thalassa tours, this one is also semi-private: our group felt small and personalized with about 15 guests, and we had plenty of room to spread out around the boat.

Later in the day, once the crowds dissipated, we cruised around Hong Island lagoon, then went around to its stunning beach for one final swim. You can opt to hike up to the Hong Island viewpoint at this time, which I strongly suggest doing even if the humidity + the hundreds of stairs sound like a nightmare. The view of Phang Nga Bay and Hong Island beach from up here is PHENOMENAL.

James Bond Island Tour with Thalassa Time: 9am-5pm Price: ฿3500 (~ US$106) TripAdvisor Rating : 5.0 / 262+ reviews Choose this James Bond Island Tour if: You want an off-the-beaten-path adventure; you prefer to avoid the crowds and the tourist traps; you want to see some of the lesser-known islands around Phang Nga Bay; you want to snorkel CLICK TO BOOK THIS TOUR  

Hong by Starlight Tour with John Gray’s Sea Canoe

It may be strange to include a tour that doesn’t run from Krabi, and may or may not include James Bond Island, in this blog post – but I did this Hong by Starlight Tour 8 years ago and it still stands as one of my favorite travel experiences ever, so how could I not?

So yes, John Gray’s Hong by Starlight tour departs from Phuket, not Krabi. It does not stop at James Bond Island, and there is no mention of it in the tour itinerary; however, on my tour we definitely paddled near it (close enough to take pictures), and some recent TripAdvisor reviews mention seeing James Bond Island (though some also mention NOT seeing it). I suspect that depending on conditions, you may or may not get to paddle close to James Bond Island, so it’s not a selling point of this tour.

But trust me when I say that it doesn’t matter! James Bond Island may get all the glory, but it’s just one of many pretty islands in Phang Nga Bay. No matter where you end up going on this tour, you’re gonna see some epic landscapes and enjoy some memorable adventures.

If you are dead set on seeing James Bond Island, you can book one of John Gray’s James Bond Island tours – they run one in the morning and one later in the day. However, I HIGHLY advise booking the the Hong by Starlight Tour instead.

With this Phang Nga Bay tour, you get a full day of adventuring on a big boat, featuring a few kayaking excursions around the hongs and islands in “sea canoes”, which are essentially inflatable kayaks. You learn just how crucial the inflatable aspect is when you’re paddling through some very tight caves that require you to deflate the kayak a bit, lean back, and get as low as you can. Thankfully for these paddle sessions, you’ll be paired with a guide who will take care of it all for you. It’s a VERY cool and unique experience, something you’re unlikely to experience anywhere else on your travels.

Then later in the day, you’ll make a “kratong” out of flowers and banana leaves and release it out into the sea after sunset, and paddle through phosphorescent plankton that appear as glowing blue dots underwater.

Krabi: 4 Island Tour from Ao Nang

Dieser Artikel ist auch verfügbar auf: Deutsch

Day trip in Krabi – the 4 Island Tour

How to get to ao nang, accommodation in ao nang – our hotel tip, tickets for the krabi 4 island tour, the krabi 4 island tour procedure, 1. phra nang cave beach, 2. tub island, 3. chicken island, 4. koh poda, conclusion on the krabi 4 island tour, ao nang: tours and tickets.

You can read in our report today about where the 4 Island Tour is headed, what picturesque destinations it contains in Krabi, what it costs and how everything works.

To reach Ao Nang it’s best to travel via Krabi. With this option you can fly to the Krabi International Airport which is connected to locations in Thailand as well as e.g. Kuala Lumpur or Qatar. More information about flights, departure times and prices can be found on Skyscanner .

You can also travel by bus or boat (from Koh Lanta etc.) to Krabi Town. From there you can continue your trip to Ao Nang. From the airport or the bus station you will have to take another means of transport to get to Ao Nang.

A Songthaew (shared taxi) from the bus station costs about 80 Baht to Ao Nang. A taxi costs about 400 Baht from Krabi Town or the airport. The cheapest option would be the shuttle bus, which runs regularly from the airport through Krabi Town to Ao Nang, for a price of 100 Baht per person.

Furthermore, you can take the ferry from Koh Lanta or Koh Phi Phi directly to Ao Nang. These boats will arrive at Nopparat Thara Pier and not at Klong Jilad Pier in Krabi Town. To see connections, times, prices and tickets for buses and boats, visit 12go.asia .

The selection of accommodation in Ao Nang and the surrounding area is huge. We have stayed several times in Ao Nang and tried some different hotels. Since we are always traveling there by scooter, it doesn’t bother us personally if the accommodation is a bit further from the beach. This way you have peace and seclusion and can totally relax. Very suitable for this is the Deevana Krabi Resort , which is located in the middle of a beautiful green area. Both beaches, the Ao Nang Beach and the Noppharat Thara Beach , are just minutes away by taxi or scooter.

You can discover more beautiful accommodations in Ao Nang here .

There are many ways to buy tickets for the Krabi 4 Island Tour. You can buy a ticket for a private tour by longtail boat at the ticket booths on the beach or simply book it at your hotel, any travel agency or at a tour seller in Ao Nang.

You can also book the Krabi 4 Island Tour online in advance and secure your ticket when planning your trip. Here you will find the tickets for the tour by speedboat or longtail boat .

The prices are roughly the same for all options. The tickets cost around 500-800 baht per person for a tour with a longtail boat or 1000-1500 baht per person for a Krabi 4 Island Tour with a speedboat.

Note : The national park fee is not included in the ticket prices. That means there are additional costs of 400 baht (adults) or 200 baht (children) per person. These are collected by the tour provider at the start of the tour and later handed over to the park rangers on the islands.

If you book a Krabi 4 Island Tour, you will be picked up at your hotel in the morning between 8.00 A.M. and 9.00 A.M. – depending on where you stay, e.g. in Ao Nang, Krabi Town or Klong Muang. After that you will go to the pier at Noppharat Thara Beach , where most tours start.

Now you have an approximately 20-minute boat ride ahead of you to get to Railay Beach West . More guests could be collected there and then it will take another few minutes to Phra Nang Cave Beach , the first stop of the tour.

The next stop is Tub Island , before heading to either Chicken Island or Koh Poda , where lunch is on the schedule. Accordingly, the last stop before returning to Ao Nang is also Chicken Island or Koh Poda, where you can relax and swim.

You can read and see what awaits you at the various stops, as well as some pictures of the islands in the following points:

Phra Nang Cave Beach is usually the first stop on the Krabi 4 Island Tour and is located on the east coast of the Railay Peninsula. You can also walk to it from Railay East in a few minutes. It is one of the most popular beaches and at lunchtime it can get very crowded, at least in the main season.

The scenery of Phra Nang Cave Beach is gorgeous with limestone cliffs, fine sand, turquoise water and is definitely one of the most beautiful beaches on the mainland of Krabi. But visitors don’t just come for a swim, they also go climbing on the rocks or visiting the Phra Nang Cave (also known as Princess Cave ) with the famous Penis Shrine.

Legend has it that the Phra Nang Cave is a stone-turned virgin who lived in Krabi centuries ago. At her wedding there were disputes between many admirers and the future husband. When a hermit from a nearby cave tried to settle the dispute and it didn’t work, he used his magical powers to turn everyone involved into stone. Allegedly, these then became Phra Nang Cave, Chicken Island, Koh Poda and other islands.

Nowadays, many of the phallic symbols are deposited there when Thai couples want to have children because it is believed to increase fertility.

Furthermore, there is a small island in the middle of the beach, which you can reach via a sandbar at low tide. You will also find many boats in the middle, which are actually small restaurants.

The second destination on the tour is Tub Island, sometimes written as Tup Island . The small island lies between Chicken Island and Koh Poda. Tub Island actually consists of two small islands, Koh Mor and Koh Tub , which are connected by a sandbar.

Another sandbar, which is a spectacular highlight, is accessible only at low tide. So you can’t completely influence it and have to be lucky on your Krabi 4 Island Tour. But if your visit is at low tide, you can walk over the sandbar to the next island, which is Chicken Island .

Tub Island is also a popular place for snorkeling. Especially on the side that points towards Koh Poda you can see some colorful fish near the beach and go snorkeling directly from the beach.

The third stop is Koh Gai , better known as Chicken Island or Koh Poda Nok. The name comes from a rock at the southern end, which with some imagination resembles the head of a chicken.

Note : Depending on the tour, the program is sometimes changed and Koh Poda is approached in third place and Chicken Island comes last. But that doesn’t make a big difference for you.

It is usually very quiet on Chicken Island and of all the destinations mentioned it has the fewest visitors. There you can relax on the beach and walk over the sandbar at low tide, just like on Koh Tub, or go to the Chicken Island Viewpoint . It is located directly in front of the sandbar, where you only have to climb a short distance near the hut. Ropes will help you to ascend, but it’s actually not too difficult.

The last stop is now Koh Poda . White sandy beach and turquoise water are waiting for you here, but on the other hand, so are most visitors and boats. However, there are zoned off areas where the boats are not allowed to go in and which are therefore still great for swimming.

The north of Koh Poda with the island Koh Ma Tang Ming in front of it, where you look towards the mainland of Krabi, is the most popular place on the island. With little bit of luck you can also see fish while snorkeling here. If you walk a little further along the beach towards the south, that means towards Koh Tub and Chicken Island, you will quickly see that there are fewer visitors and therefore more peace.

Koh Poda is part of the Had Noppharatthara – Mu Koh Phi Phi National Park and offers the most amenities for visitors with a small shop, restrooms and smoking areas. However, garbage cans are not provided and all visitors are instructed to take their garbage back to the mainland with them. The lunch break of the day tours is usually made on Koh Poda and a buffet is set up there or you get a lunch box, depending on the provider.

The Krabi 4 Island Tour covers some of the most beautiful destinations off the coast of Ao Nang and is therefore absolutely worth it. The tour is especially perfect for visitors who don’t spend too many days in Krabi. This way you can visit four destinations in one day instead of just going to one island with the longtail boats on the beach.

We can recommend this tour to you if you want to explore the island world of Krabi.

Krabi exclusive : 7 Islands Sunset Tour and Night Snorkeling with Bioluminescent Plankton.

TOP TOUR in Krabi Area

   7 ISLANDS SUNSET TOUR

7 Islands Sunset Tour  by Longtail Boat is the best choice to combine a Boat day between the islands and Krabi Sunset,  one of the most evocative of Thailand. This Amazing tour Departure in the afternoon around 13.00 pm and return in the evening around 20.00 pm, the program includes the Visit  the 7 islands Area front Ao Nang :

Poda Island, Chicken Island, Tup Island, Door, Talu, MaeUrai.

I can honestly say that this afternoon tour was a nice surprise for me. The 7 islands Tour in the afternoon begin to evacuate from most tourists, this means that you can enjoy the islands in full, during the tour you can do snorkelling on coral reefs and sandbanks and Climbing / Jumping into the sea from cliffs. But later on this tour it takes shape, at 18 pm in fact the stop is required to Phranang Beach for dinner, an inviting BBQ fish and chicken and fresh fruit to finish, all this while you stay and enjoy one of the most beautiful Sunsets in Thailand . After dinner there will be the Night Snorkeling with Bio Luminescent Phenomen .

Krabi Sunset Tour  will show you the Three main islands front Ao Nang. Poda Island is amazing, you will have time for enjoy the long white sand beach or snorkelling around the Reef, we suggest you to walk until the end of beach and take the rest in wild side without many tourists and boats. Tup Island is a MUST in Krabi, the two small islands are very nice and if there is low tide you can walk from Tup Island to Chicken Island. Take your time for snorkeling but check Tide and Rangers Flag.

Chicken Island is a Snorkeling step, but before the Captain will bring you to the right side for take some nice photos of the Island. After Photos it's time for snorkelling, there are 2-3 very nice place around this Island but time only for one step snorkeling here. The tour continues with the visit to the other small islands behind Chicken Island, where you will have time to take a snorkelling stage again. We note that these islets are in the high seas and only if the sea conditions are perfect will the stop be provided.

PODA ISLAND

Poda Island  is easily visible from Ao Nang Beach and is poupolar in Krabi because is just 15 min by Longtail boat, Poda is the Rangers Park Base and is equipped with Bar and Toiletts. Poda Beach is a big white sand beach where you will Relax and Swimming in a Cristal Water. Walking on the left flank of the island you will arrive in the wild island side definitely more quiet and away from the front area where tourists stop to take pictures in front of the big limestone which makes the fascinating surrounding landscape. Behind the island, accessible only by boat, is the "Deep Solo", a cliff overlooking the sea where you can (for the most irresponsible) climb and then jump into the sea.

CHICKEN ISLAND

Chicken Island  is the big one of the National Park Marine and is named for the big Limestone Rock  that looks like a Chicken Face. This Island is a good place for Snorkelling infact behind there is a small Bay  where the Tour will stop you for enjoy the Marine Life. 

Tup Island  is an Amazing place where you can Snorkelling near the reaf  and see the fantastic wild life marine around this small island. When the Tide recedes you will see gradually appear a white sand line that will allow you to walk from Tup Isand to Chicken Island.

PHRANANG BEACH

Last and most important stage of the 7 Islands Tour is the  Night Snorkeling with Bioluminescent Plankton ,  one of the natural wonders that only Krabi offers in Thailand. When the sunset disappears behind the horizon and the darkness of the night takes its place you can enjoy this amazing phenomenon, take a mask and don't be afraid of the dark or of cold, I guarantee you it's worth it, billions of microscopic organisms illuminate moving water and you can see them just by snorkeling in the sea. I must say that after many times that swimming with plankton amuses me and surprise me again as if for the first time. 7 Islands Sunset tour is a "Must" in Krabi, so don't forget, this MUST TO DO IT.

Posted on Last updated: January 14, 2024

Need help planning your four islands tour in Krabi, Thailand? You’ve come to the right place!

The four island tour is one of the most popular activities in Krabi, and it’s easy to see why. You’ll be taken to deserted islands with pristine beaches, crystal clear water and unique rock formations.

On my last trip to Thailand we booked ourselves a private 4 islands long-tail boat tour, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Krabi.

In this article I have outlined everything you need to know about this epic boat trip. Including information about the islands you will visit, what to do once there, the best tours, what to pack and more!

About Krabi and the Four Islands

Island hopping in Krabi is super fun. One of the best ways to get involved in this adventure is to book yourself onto a tour of the four nearby islands just off the coast — arguably one of the popular tours in the area.

Named Koh Poda, Chicken Island, Koh Tub, and Koh Mor, these four little land masses are pieces of paradise, boasting pristine beaches, snorkelling spots galore and all the beautiful scenery you’d expect.  

We were staying in Railay Beach , one of the most famous beaches in Thailand, but personally we found that the beaches of Four Islands were considerably prettier than Railay Beach.

The sand is whiter, the water is clearer and the surrounding nature is wilder, more untouched. They’re gorgeous islands, just waiting to be discovered!

Discover some of the most popular Krabi 4 Island tours below!

Four Islands Tour Overview  

There are lots of companies that offer the chance to embark on the famed Krabi Four Islands tour . Most of these tours offer the same sorts of things, but sometimes in different orders and in slight variations.

All tours usually include pick-up and drop-off from your hotel, lunch, drinks on the boat and snorkelling equipment.

They might visit them in different orders, but on any four islands tour in Krabi, you’ll be guaranteed stops at the following spots in the Krabi Archipelago.

This island, known for its stunning beaches and super clear water, lies just off the coast of Krabi. It’s actually the largest of the four islands and is a super dreamy spot to drop anchor and explore for a while.

The white sand beaches lapped by turquoise seas are the main draw here, but you can’t discount the vibrant coral reef teeming with life just offshore — don’t forget your snorkelling gear!

You won’t get high-end bars or development here, it’s just a rustic place to kick back and enjoy the scenery.

Koh Tub & Koh Mor

The twin islands of Koh Tub (also Koh Tup – or Tup Island and Tub Island in English) and Koh Mor are two tiny slivers of land linked by a sandbar.

Called Talay Waek, this cool sandbar only reveals itself properly at low tide and can actually be walked across by visitors on the four islands tour.

Koh Tub itself is surrounded by typically sparkling waters that brim with tropical fish and colourful corals, attracting tourists from around the world; Koh Mor is equally as stunning, but feels even more remote than its neighbour.

Koh Tub and Koh Mor connected by a sandbar in Krabi, Thailand

Chicken Island  

Chicken Island (Koh Kai in Thai) may seem like a weird name, but it’s actually because this island boasts a cool rock formation shaped like a chicken.

Lying just south of Koh Poda, it is also connected by a sandbar to Koh Mor and Koh Tub, making these three islands almost like one connected landmass.

When the tide is low, you can walk the Y-shaped sandbar between all three. It’s a unique stop-off on the tour for this reason, but also it’s a chance to snap pics of the rock formation (obviously).

Koh Kai also has a few facilities, like toilets and a beach bar or two, so you can grab a snack to eat if you’re feeling peckish.

The unique rock formation that gives Chicken Island its name

The Other Side of Chicken Island (and Koh Poda)

On the other side of Chicken Island, opposite to the shore where the sandbar connects, is where you’ll find the eponymous rock formation itself jutting out of the limestone cliffs.

You can also see smaller islets that dot the sea here, like Koh Khom, as well as some colourful marine life offshore.

Likewise, the other side of Koh Poda is a wilder, less crowded portion of the island known for its not-so-hidden but still not very busy Secret Beach.

Some tours will take you to these lesser-visited sides of each island.

Phra Nang Cave Beach

Part of Railay peninsula, right on the southern tip opposite Koh Rang Nok, lies Phra Nang cave beach. This scenic spot is a popular place for the four island tour to end.

It’s not just picturesque: The cave is actually home to a shrine dedicated to the deity Phra Nang, goddess of fertility, which is decorated with stone phalluses of different shapes and sizes.

Since there is now a line of buoys to prevent boats from docking on Phra Nang Cave Beach, I don’t think any of the tours stop at this beach. They just cruise past it to show you the cool rock formations.

The 7 Island Tour  Krabi

As I mentioned earlier, every Krabi four island tour package varies from the next one, but they all go to the same places.

If you want to do something different, there’s actually a seven islands tour , which obviously includes stops at three extra islands, plus a BBQ dinner at sunset, which is pretty cool.

Beyond the classic Koh Poda, Koh Kai, Koh Tub and Koh Mor, the Seven Islands tour also includes stops at Koh Yawasam, Koh Tan Ming and Koe Raeng.

Here you’ll find slightly less people, as most travellers stick to the four islands tour, which will give you the opportunity to enjoy beautiful beaches and snorkelling spots all to yourself.

It’s a great option if you want an all-day activity. The four island boat tours usually only take up half a day, but if you’re ready to spend a whole day at sea, this is the tour for you!

Best 4 Islands Krabi Tours  

With so many different tours on offer it can be tricky to know which one to go for. I’ve selected a handful of the best and most popular ones online, so you can choose the one that’s right for you.

Just make sure to read reviews of these four island tours in Krabi, so you know exactly what to expect!

Krabi: 4 Islands Tour by Longtail Boat

This is the classic four island tour takes you to the four main islands by longtail boat. You’ll also stop off at the Phra Nang cave beach at Railay.

It’s a well organised tour that includes a Thai buffet lunch thrown in for the price. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable, plus you get a good amount of time at each location.

Krabi: 7 Islands Sunset Tour with BBQ Dinner and Snorkeling

Taking in not just four but seven islands in total, with this 7 islands tour you’ll be able to see the beauty of these tiny islets that scatter the coast around Krabi.

Not only will you get to touch down at these picturesque locales, but also be treated to a BBQ dinner on Koh Poda as the sun sets.

The day ends with a spectacular swim among bioluminescent plankton off the coast of Koh Raeng.

Krabi: Phi Phi Sunrise & 4 Islands by Speedboat with Lunch

The Phi Phi Islands may be quite far away, but you can get there thanks to a tour by a zippy speedboat.

This tour may start early (and it’s a long day), but it begins with a trip to Phi Phi for an incredible sunrise, and then whisks you to the famous four islands — via Maya Bay (famous as the location of The Beach ).

It’s pricier than just doing a four islands tour, but that’s because you’re basically getting two trips in the same tour! A day trip to Phi Phi , and your classic 4 Islands tour in Krabi.

It’s a great option for those who have a tight Thailand itinerary , so that you can see more in less time. It also includes lunch in Phi Phi Don, plus pick-up and drop-off from your Krabi hotel.

Krabi: 4 Islands Day Trip by Speedboat Including Lunch Box

While many of the tours of Krabi’s four islands take place on longtail boats, this tour one speeds things up by allowing you to jump aboard a speedboat.

I included this tour as I wanted to include a speedboat option, but to be entirely honest, I would suggest a long-tail boat tour over a speedboat one.

The four islands aren’t far from Railay Beach, so even with a long-tail boat, it won’t take long to reach them. Plus, you’ll have a more traditional Thai experience.

But if you have your heart set on a speedboat, then this tour is the best choice. You’ll travel in style to the four islands, and it also includes lunch on the beach.

Click here to book your Krabi 4 Islands speedboat tour,   or check out prices & availability below!

Railay: 4 Islands Sunset & Night Snorkel Boat Tour

This option really adds value to the four island tour.

Beyond the classic four islands, this tour also includes Railay Beach, specifically Ao Nang, with its amazing diving spots to glimpse an array of underwater tropical life.

You’ll get to see a sunset and even do a spot of night snorkelling, to see bioluminescent plankton. An unforgettable experience.

Krabi: Private Long Tail Boat to the 4 Islands

If you want to keep things private, this private long-tail boat is a great option. Since I was travelling to Railay Beach with my family we opted for a private 4 Islands tour, and we couldn’t have made a better choice.

Having a private boat will give you more flexibility, allowing you to change the order of your stops from the classic tour, so as to visit each stop while the crowds are somewhere else.

Plus you’ll be able to spread out on the boat, and not be squished next to strangers. Like all the tours, it includes pick-up and drop-off, lunch and drinks.

Krabi: Private 4 Islands & Sunset Dinner Luxury Speedboat

If a private tour isn’t enough, and you really want to splurge, this is the tour for you. You’ll do all the usual four islands stops, but on a luxury speedboat all to yourself.

Plus, add to it dinner with sunset over the ocean, and you have a magical travel bucket list experience ready. It’s perfect for special occasions or groups of friends who can split the cost.

Catamaran tours in Railay Beach, Thailand

Our experience doing a 4 islands tour in Krabi

I was in Thailand with my parents and little sister, so we decided to opt for a private tour. It was the best decision we could have made, as it gave us more privacy and flexibility.

We didn’t book it until we arrived in Railay Beach, from one of the many tourist stands located on the main road of Railay Beach.

This was a bit risky, since we were there over New Years, and many of the boats were already booked out. However, since we were there for a week we had quite a lot of flexibility on dates.

If you’re not spending long in Krabi, it might be better if you book your 4 islands tour online beforehand. That way you don’t risk missing out, plus you’ll be able to see reviews from other travellers.

Our four islands tour was super smooth and enjoyable. We were picked up from Railay East Pier, and taken directly to the beautiful four islands.

We started with a long stop in Koh Poda, at a lovely white sandy beach with crystal clear water, before making our way to a snorkelling stop close to the sandbar of Koh Tub and Koh Mor.

In theory there is an entrance fee to the national park of the islands of Krabi, but our skipper was cheeky and told us that if we just snorkelled in the middle of the sea, without going to shore, we wouldn’t have to pay it.

We then sailed past Chicken Island, admiring the rock formations that give it its name. My favourite stop was actually the beach we visited on Koh Kai, as it had crystal clear water and we had it all to ourselves.

Our final stop was once again Koh Poda (or Poda Island), but on the back side in a little cove with only a couple other boats.

Overall it was a very enjoyable day, and one of the highlights of our Thailand itinerary . If you’re planning a Krabi itinerary, I highly suggest adding a four islands tour to it.

Where to stay for your Krabi Four Islands tour

In my opinion, the best place to stay in Krabi is Railay Beach, and more so if you plan to do the four islands tour. Railay Beach is a super chilled town, with one main street, lots of bars, restaurants and a laid-back vibe.

Plus, most of the tours that set off from Ao Nang or Ao Nam Mao will do a stop in Railay Beach to pick up other travellers, so you get to sleep more and start later if you stay in Railay Beach!

Here are the best places to stay in Railay Beach for every budget.

Budget: Railay Viewpoint Resort   – This budget option is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main road, and it’s a great for those who want spacious rooms and a pool with view for an affordable price. 

Click here to book your stay at Railay Viewpoint Resort!

Mid-range: Railay Princess Resort & Spa   – This is where we stayed for a week and really enjoyed it. The property is clean, the rooms spacious, it offers a lovely breakfast buffet, has a great pool with view and is in an easy position close to East Railay Pier and the main street. 

Click here to book your stay at Railay Princess Resort & Spa!

Luxury: Rayavadee   – If you want to treat yourself, this is the place to do so! Located in Phra Nang Beach (the only hotel there) this luxury property offers gorgeous private villas nestled in nature.

What to pack for your 4 Island tour in Krabi

For a full breakdown of what you should pack for Thailand, check out my Thailand packing list . Here I just included a few essentials that you will need for your four islands boat trip.

Waterproof jacket – If you visit in rainy season, you’ll be glad to have one of these!

Fast drying towel – There’s a lot of swimming and lounging on beaches involved in these boat tours, so make sure to have one of these! I love these because they dry quickly and they don’t take up much space.

Power bank – You don’t want your phone to die on you just as you’re about to snap a gorgeous photo of the crystal clear water of Koh Poda!

Dry bag – To keep your valuables safe and dry from any rogue water splashes during your boat trip.

Final thoughts on doing a 4 Islands tour Krabi

There you have it, the ultimate guide to doing a Krabi four islands tour! Have you been to Krabi before? How did you find it? Let me know in the comments below!

I’ve been to Thailand four times, and yet this was my first time visiting Krabi. I can confidently say it was one of my favourite places in Thailand, especially Railay Beach and its surroundings.

We spent a week in Railay Beach, and loved its chilled and laid-back atmosphere. Plus, the fact that from here you can go island hopping to gorgeous beaches is a great addition!

On previous trips to Thailand I visited other pristine beaches like Koh Lipe , the Surin Islands , Phi Phi Islands and Similan Islands , but I find that the four islands in Krabi beat them all.

They might not be as famous for scuba diving , but they’re still pretty beautiful, and the fact that they’re so close to shore (30 minutes by long-tail boat compared to the 2-hour speedboat required to get to the Similan Islands), makes them all the more appealing.

I hope you found this guide on the best four island tours in Krabi useful, and that it helps you choose the perfect tour for you! If you have any questions, just let me know in the comments below.
