Pickup window14:30–15:00We'll pick you up from your hotel between 14:30 - 15:00. We'll send you a more accurate time when your booking is received.
We head to the pier where we board the private longtail boat. Put on your life vests and we head to the 7 Islands from here.
Our first stop is at Tup Island, where you can see the famous "Talay Waek": when the tide goes down, a stretch of beach appears between Tup and Mor Islands. Relax here and make sure to shoot some pictures of the amazing views here!
The next stop of the private 7 island sunset tour is Chicken Island or Koh Gai. It's famous for its chicken shape, but mostly because snorkeling is very good here. Enjoy the underwater life or go swimming from the boat.
We pass by Tang Ming. This small uninhabited island is a beautiful scenic spot from the boat. We'll enjoy the scenic view and take photos of the island from the longtail boat.
Poda is where you can relax on a large stretch of beach. The water is shallow, which makes it a perfect spot for little ones to play in the water. Go sunbathing here or swim around the many fish in the waters here. If you didn't pre-book dinner with us, there are local restaurants available here for you to explore.
If you book this tour with a sunset BBQ, we'll take you to a beach on Poda Island where we serve a tasty BBQ (halal or vegetarian options are available). You will join the other guests in the joint tour for just this stop.
Our next stop takes you not far from the shore to go snorkeling with plankton. When it's dark, thousands of illuminating blue lights show up just under the waterline. It may be a bit itchy, but it's definitely worth it. Swim with plankton and be amazed!
The final point of interest of the day is Phra Nang Cave. If there is enough time, you can visit the cave or enjoy the high limestone rocks that surround the beach. If you booked this tour with a pickup from Railay, the tour ends here.
At around 19:00, the private longtail boat heads back to the pier. It's time to say goodbye to the 7 Islands.

First of all: I had an amazing day, This trip is definitely recommended if you're visiting this part of Thailand, That's why I am giving 5 stars. The weather I had was really bad and I couldnt see much while snorkeling. The guide explained that it's normal for the rainy season. Okay. I had a good trip mainly because of the staff and the sights. I guess we can't have it all. Book your trip when the sun is shining!
