Live prices and ratings from Kohtour Krabi. A starting price is not a quote for your group. Review guest age bands, the private boat’s capacity, hotel transfers, optional extras and national park fees on the selected tour.
A longtail offers the traditional open-boat experience. Speedboats reduce time spent crossing between islands. Check the detailed itinerary: combination tours spend part of the day outside the classic Four Islands route.
The boat is for your group. Starting rates may cover a limited number of passengers, with different tiers for larger groups. Check the capacity, guide arrangements and any separate fees before comparing it with shared seats.
