See full tourOne route, seven ways to do it
Every trip on this site heads for the same cluster of islands a few kilometres off Ao Nang: Koh Poda, Chicken Island, Tup and Mor, usually with Phra Nang Cave Beach along the way. The islands stay the same. The boat, who you share it with, the time you get back and what the price covers do not.
All seven trips sit in one comparison table with live prices and the lunch, guide and park-fee details beside them. If you would rather be pointed somewhere, choose a boat type below, or read the island guide first.
What the classic shared tours include
Book the shared longtail or the shared speedboat and the basics match:
- Hotel pickup and drop-off in Ao Nang, Nopparat Thara, Krabi Town, Klong Muang and Tubkaek, with Railay guests joining by boat
- A guide who speaks English or Thai
- Lunch on Koh Poda: a Thai lunch box on the speedboat, a Thai lunch on the longtail
- Mask, snorkel, life vest and drinking water
- Accident insurance
Two things sit outside the online price. The national park fee is THB 200 per adult and THB 100 per child, paid in cash on the day. And the private boats are priced per boat by group size, with lunch and a guide as extras, which is good value for five people and expensive for two. The prices and park fees guide sets it all out.
How the day runs
Morning trips collect you from about 07:30 in Krabi Town, Klong Muang and Tubkaek and from about 08:00 in Ao Nang, and the boats leave Nopparat Thara Pier around 09:00. From there it is Tup Island and the sandbar, Chicken Island, lunch on Koh Poda and Phra Nang Cave Beach, in whichever order the boat and the tide suit. The shared speedboat drops guests at their hotels from about 14:00; the longtail is back around 15:30 to 16:00.
The sunset cruise turns the day around: an afternoon pickup, dinner on board and a night swim, back at the hotel after 20:00. Whatever you book, the captain can reorder stops for the sea, and the sandbar only shows at low water.
Common questions
The morning trips board at Nopparat Thara Pier near Ao Nang after a hotel pickup, and Railay guests join from the Railay East floating pier. The sunset cruise leaves from Ao Nam Mao Pier. Your confirmation gives the exact time and place.
Choose a tour, pick a date, enter your group and choose how to pay at checkout. Bookings run through the same system the Kohtour travel desk uses, so the operator, times and inclusions are confirmed in writing.
Yes. The shared tours have a child rate for ages 4 to 11, and each tour page lists its own age rules. Tell us every child’s age when you book so the crew can have the right life jackets ready.
Rain on its own does not stop a trip. If the sea is too rough to sail safely, the trip is called off and you choose between a new date and a full refund.
