Pickup window09:00–09:30A driver collects you from your hotel in this window and takes you to Nopparat Thara Pier.
Your private longtail is waiting. Put on a life vest and set off; because the boat is yours, the route and order of stops can change to suit the group.
At low tide the Talay Waek sandbar appears between Tup and Mor Island, a classic Krabi postcard view.
Known for its rock shape and good snorkelling. Grab a mask and snorkel and jump in.
The largest of the four islands has a long white beach, calm shallows where children can play, and decent snorkelling. If you have not ordered a lunch box, a few restaurants here serve Thai food.
Relax on Phra Nang Beach, see the cave with its phallic symbols, and swim in clear water.
The boat leaves the islands at 14:00 for the ride back to the mainland pier.

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.
