Private 4 Islands Tour from Ao Nang: VIP & Sunset Special

4.8 out of 5 – from 43 guest messages via WhatsApp and email

  • Private boat just for your group, max. 5 guests
  • Experienced local crew from Krabi
  • Direct WhatsApp contact before and after booking

Almost every Krabi visitor knows the four stops of the classic 4 Islands tour. What is different with us is the timing: we leave at 1 pm, when the group boats are already heading home, and visit Koh Poda, Chicken Island, the Tup sandbar and the bay of Phra Nang in the afternoon. You travel in a white hardtop cabin boat with twin 300 hp engines. A bench seat and comfortable boat chairs offer room for a maximum of five guests, and the hardtop gives shade.

At low tide you walk across the Tup sandbar from island to island. Whether and how far that works on your day depends on the low water, which we take into account when planning. At Chicken Island and Koh Poda you snorkel with free gear (please tick it when booking) or simply swim in shallow water. The finale is the sunset in front of Phra Nang's limestone cliffs, with chilled sunset prosecco on board. Water, soft drinks, fruit and the hotel transfer in Ao Nang/Krabi are included. The price is per boat, not per person.

Who is this tour for?

For everyone who wants to see the famous islands without joining the midday rush: couples, families and small groups of friends up to five people. Also for first-time visitors to Krabi who want one afternoon of swimming, sandbar and sunset.
