Description
This is the traditional way to do the 4 Islands: a shared wooden longtail boat from Nopparat Thara Pier, leaving at 09:00 and heading back at 15:00, so you spend most of the day on the water and on the beaches. It works well for families, as the islands are close to Ao Nang and the swimming spots are fairly shallow.

A very good value tour. The longtail boat ride itself was fun. All 4 stops were idyllc. And our guide was so lovely, thank you Cheena (sp?).

The 4 Island your was great. The speedboat ride was an adventure in itself. The islands were gorgeous, but I wish we had more time to explore each one. Some of the snorkeling equipment was a bit worn out, which was disappointing. Overall, it was a memorable experience, but a few improvements could make it even better.

This tour was absolutely amazing! We visited four beautiful islands, all with their own unique charm. The longtail boat was comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had plenty of time to swim, snorkel, and relax on the beach. The lunch was also delicious. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Krabi!
