Reviews of Kohtour across destinations and activities, not ratings for an individual tour.
Koh Poda is the main beach stop on many Krabi 4 Islands itineraries, known for pale sand, shallow water and the limestone rock just offshore. Shared tours commonly use the island for beach time or lunch, but the duration, swimming area and landing point depend on conditions.



Visitors use the Koh Poda stop to swim, walk the beach, eat lunch or photograph the offshore limestone stack. The shared speedboat schedules lunch at Poda, and the shared longtail includes lunch. Private tour base prices do not include lunch, so check the selected itinerary rather than assuming every boat provides the same meal stop.
There is no universal time allowance. Weather, tide, beach access and the route affect time ashore. If Poda is your priority, ask the booking team for the planned stop length and understand that the captain may still adjust it for safe operation.
Swimming is often possible in the crew-designated area, but currents, boat traffic and visibility vary. Follow the crew’s boundary and life-jacket instructions, stay clear of propellers and never treat calm-looking shallow water as proof that every part of the beach is safe.
Confirm the meeting place, return time and permitted swimming area. Take sun protection and water, keep cash dry for any separate park fee and carry all litter back. Shells, coral and wildlife should remain on the island, even when an item appears loose or empty.
