Description

When it comes to experiencing the sheer natural beauty of Thailand, there are few adventures as captivating as the 4 Island Tour by longtail boat. At Koh Tour Krabi, we're here to guide you through this remarkable journey, giving you a taste of the stunning landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life that await you in the beautiful region. Tup Island, also known as Koh Tup, is a gem awaiting your discovery. Connected to Mor Island by a sandbar known as "Talay Waek", it creates a unique natural phenomenon during low tide, where the two islands here appear as a single landmass. Check out the nearby Chicken Island too. The clear emerald waters make it perfect for snorkeling, and the shallow depths offer a safe environment for even the most novice swimmers.

    This tour was absolutely amazing! We visited four beautiful islands, all with their own unique charm. The longtail boat was comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had plenty of time to swim, snorkel, and relax on the beach. The lunch was also delicious. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Krabi!

    The 4 Island your was great. The speedboat ride was an adventure in itself. The islands were gorgeous, but I wish we had more time to explore each one. Some of the snorkeling equipment was a bit worn out, which was disappointing. Overall, it was a memorable experience, but a few improvements could make it even better.

FAQs

For lunch during the 4 Islands tour you can expect a delicious Thai-style buffet, served on the beach. You’ll have several (halal) choices like a curry, Pad Thai, stir fried, chicken & eggs and a dessert. The food is halal. If you have any specific food allergies, please let us know prior to booking this tour.

Unfortunately you can't. The longtail boats can be unstable when the wind is strong. The movements are not suitable for an unborn child, therefore we don't allow pregnant women on board.

The best time to visit the 4 Islands is just after the rainy season, which ends in November. Temperatures are pleasant during the months November - March, and the seas are usually calm. The blue skies are perfect for photo opportunities during these months.

Absolutely! The 4 Islands are not too far away from Ao Nang and there is enough to see and do on the way. Your children will love snorkeling and playing on the beach. We think that this is one of the best tours to do with kids while staying in Krabi.

Yes. Cancelling or moving your booking to another date is free up to 24 hours before the tour starts, and anything you have paid is refunded in full. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time are non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded. If we have to cancel, for example for weather or safety, you can move to another date or take a full refund.

To keep the ride safe, this tour is not suitable for pregnant women. If that could apply to anyone in your group, contact us before booking and we will help you find a better fit.

    Fantastic Hong Islands trip on the speedboat—fast, smooth, and well-organized Rating: 5 / 5 Stars (or your preferred rating) Pros: Speedboat Advantage: Taking the speedboat got us out to the Hong Islands quickly and comfortably, leaving plenty of time on the beach and in the water instead of wasting time in transit. Incredible Scenery: Hong Island, the emerald lagoon, and the surrounding limestone karst islands are stunning. The 360° viewpoint climb is a workout, but the panoramic views at the top are worth every step. Great Tour Crew: The Krabi Sunset Tours team was well-organized, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly from hotel pickup to drop-off. Beating the Morning Crowds: The schedule worked out great for enjoying the beaches without the heavy peak-morning crowds. Cons: Steep Steps to Viewpoint: The climb to the 360° viewpoint is hot and steep, so proper shoes/sandals (not flimsy flip-flops) are recommended. Summary: A top-notch island tour in Krabi. The speedboat makes the journey effortless, the sights are world-class, and Krabi Sunset Tours delivered a seamless, memorable day. Highly recommended!

    Outstanding experience. Went on a traditional boat tour to hong island and we ended up with a fantastic guide and only 2 others on our boat. Only thing you could „complain“ about is that there will be other boats from other company’s too and it might get crowded.

  • Jimmy De groof

    We hadden een fantastische 4 eilanden tour gehad. Met een goede gids. Onze kinderen hebben van de speedboat genoten en het eiland hoppen. Alles liep zeer vlot en was prachtig verlopen

  • Wilfred Bouw

    Het was een zeer goed verzorgde excursie, vanaf het oppikken bij het hotel, tot aan de boot tot aan het eten, alles was netjes geregeld.. Absolute topdag gehad en een echte aanrader!

  • Gérard Michaud

    Très bonne organisation, guide efficace. Découverte des îles mais tour limité qui laisse de la place pour le snorkeling. Bon repas.
