It's a trip to islands close to ao nang so it was a perfect getaway for our family with 2 children. The islands are quite busy but very beautiful. We enjoyed this tour.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of food do you serve during lunch?
For lunch we prepare a Thay-style lunch box for you to enjoy on the beach. There are vegetarian and halal options available, please let us know during checkout if you prefer those options. We also prepare fresh fruits and drinking water during the day.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If it’s raining, we’ll still go out on this tour as it is a special experience as well to go snorkeling and to visit the 4 Islands. When the waves are too high for us to go out with the speedboat, we’ll cancel the tour and offer you an alternative date or refund the paid fees.
Can I join this tour while staying at Railay Beach or Centara Grand Resort?
Yes you can. If you are staying at Railay beach, we will pick you up from Railay East (floating pier) between 09:20 - 09:30. If you are staying at Centara Grand Resort, please take a hotel shuttle boat that arrives at Nopparat Thara Pier no later than 08:30. We can pick you up from there and drop you off at the end of the 4 Islands tour. Please note that a reservation for this trip may be required.
When is the best time to visit the 4 Islands?
The best time to visit the 4 Islands is between November - February, when the seas are usually calm. You can expect mild temperatures and clear blue skies. This time is also high season, so it gets more crowded in Krabi, Ao Nang and on the 4 Islands.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Yes. Cancelling or moving your booking to another date is free up to 24 hours before the tour starts, and anything you have paid is refunded in full. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time are non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded. If we have to cancel, for example for weather or safety, you can move to another date or take a full refund.
