We had a wonderful day. Everything was perfectly organized, and the boat was very luxurious with wonderful cushions for lounging on the foredeck. I highly recommend a private boat. The price is definitely worth it. Our guide, Ang, spoke English, explained everything, and showed us the beautiful spots on Railay. The skipper always managed to moor the boat in a quiet spot. We even had a beach all to ourselves.

Best day of our trip! The longtail boat was cute and felt very traditional. Chicken Island was my favorite spot, especially the sandbar there. Not sure about the name Ssnorkeling was so much fun. The guide made sure we were comfortable all day. Perfect tour!

This tour was amazing! The private boat was so relaxing, and the islands were breathtaking. Snorkeling was incredible—we saw so many colorful fish. Lunch was simple but delicious, with fresh fruit. The boat was clean, and the guide was really friendly. Sunset on the way back was magical.

The boat ride was a bit noisy, but the islands were worth it. Lunch was okay, and snorkeling was fun. Overall, a good trip!

We were with 5 persons and the price was cheaper to go in private than with the group tour. The captain was friendly although he spoke little English and on time. Visited the 4 islands in april 2024.
23/04/2024You can either bring your own food, eat at one of the restaurants on Koh Poda, or we can provide a Thai-style lunch box (vegetarian and halal options available). The extra costs are THB 100/person. Please leave a remark on checkout if you want to include food to the booking.
Unfortunately you can't. The longtail boats can be unstable when the wind is strong. The movements are not suitable for an unborn child, therefore we don't allow pregnant women on board.
The best time to visit the 4 Islands is just after the rainy season, which ends in November. Temperatures are pleasant during the months November - March, and the seas are usually calm. The blue skies are perfect for photo opportunities during these months.
Absolutely! The 4 Islands are not too far away from Ao Nang and there is enough to see and do on the way. Your children will love snorkeling and playing on the beach. We think that this is one of the best tours to do with kids while staying in Krabi.
