Pickup window09:00–09:30Our driver will pick you up from your hotel between 09:00 - 09:30. We'll head to Nopparat Thara Pier.
The longtail boat leaves from here. Board your private longtail boat, put on your life vests, and off we go to the 4 Islands. As this is a private tour, do note that the itinerary and order may vary depending on where you want to go.
One of the stops on the private 4 island tour is Tup Island. The "Talay Waek" sandbar that connects two islands here, Tup and Mor Island, shows up during low tide. An absolutely beautiful sight and what you would expect on a Thai postcard!
Chicken Island is famous for its shape and for its great snorkeling. We make a stop here so you can jump in with mask & snorkel to explore the underwater world.
One of the next stops is Poda, the largest of the 4 islands. Here you will find a long and white sandy beach. Kids can go play in the shallow waters. If you didn't book lunch, you will find a few restaurants here on Poda Island with excellent Thai dishes. Snorkeling is also good here.
Phra Nang Beach is up next. Here you can relax on the beach, visit the famous cave with phallus symbols and go swimming in the clear waters.
At 14:00, it's time to leave the beautiful 4 Islands. Our private longtail boat takes you back to the pier on the mainland.

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.

We had a wonderful day. Everything was perfectly organized, and the boat was very luxurious with wonderful cushions for lounging on the foredeck. I highly recommend a private boat. The price is definitely worth it. Our guide, Ang, spoke English, explained everything, and showed us the beautiful spots on Railay. The skipper always managed to moor the boat in a quiet spot. We even had a beach all to ourselves.

Best day of our trip! The longtail boat was cute and felt very traditional. Chicken Island was my favorite spot, especially the sandbar there. Not sure about the name Ssnorkeling was so much fun. The guide made sure we were comfortable all day. Perfect tour!

This tour was amazing! The private boat was so relaxing, and the islands were breathtaking. Snorkeling was incredible—we saw so many colorful fish. Lunch was simple but delicious, with fresh fruit. The boat was clean, and the guide was really friendly. Sunset on the way back was magical.

The boat ride was a bit noisy, but the islands were worth it. Lunch was okay, and snorkeling was fun. Overall, a good trip!

We were with 5 persons and the price was cheaper to go in private than with the group tour. The captain was friendly although he spoke little English and on time. Visited the 4 islands in april 2024.
