Is this the right Four Islands tour for you?
An exclusive speedboat for your group rather than buying seats on a shared departure.
Compare the price for your actual party size. Lunch, a tour guide and some transfers are additional; a private boat cannot guarantee a dry sandbar.

About this tour
Visit the 4 Islands with your own chartered speedboat! Our friendly captain brings you and your family or group of friends or colleagues from Ao Nang to the 4 Islands: Poda Island, Chicken Island (Koh Gai), Tup Island, and Phra Nang Cave & Railay Beach. You can follow the standard itinerary or create your own; it's a private trip! Pickups are free from Ao Nang and available for an extra fee from other locations in Krabi. We provide snorkeling equipment you need to check out the beautiful marine life at both Chicken and Poda Island. You will also get to see the famous sand bar (Talay Waek) at Tup Island and we make a stop at the beautiful Phra Nang Cave for some sightseeing of the beach and the cave.
Itinerary
Times and route can change with conditions.
09:00 - 09:30 · Pickup from your hotel
The private speedboat tour to the 4 Islands starts with a free pickup in Ao Nang. Pickup from other areas is available for an extra fee. We bring you to Nopparat Thara pier and visit the 4 Islands. Do you want to change the itinerary? Not a problem! It's a private boat just for you.
09:30 · Departure from Nopparat Thara Pier
At around 09:30, we board the private speedboat that leaves from Nopparat Thara Pier.
Tup Island
One of the stops on the private 4 Islands tour by speedboat is Tup Island. When it's low tide, you can see the sandbar that connects 2 islands here. It's one of those magical sights you will see in magazines advertising Krabi.
Chicken Island (Koh Gai)
Chicken Island is known for 2 things: its abundant marine life and the weird shape of the rock on top of it. You probably guessed what it looks like! Here you can go snorkeling. See the fishes and coral that is still in good condition here.
Poda Island
One of the next stops is Poda Island. This island is known for its long and wide beaches with white, powdery sands. Here you can enjoy the beach, have some snacks at the restaurant (not included), go snorkeling, or enjoy your pre-booked lunch box.
Phra Nang Cave & Railay Beach
Our last stop can be Phra Nang Beach, close to Railay. This is a great stop at the end of the day when it gets more quiet. Visit the cave with its phallus statues or admire the beautiful views of the rocks and bays around Railay here.
14:00 · Return to Nopparat Thara Pier
At around 14:00, it's time to leave this beautiful place. Our private speedboat takes you back to the pier on the mainland.
14:30 - 15:00 · Return to Krabi & hotel transfer
Our driver is waiting here to bring you back to your hotel. You should arrive there no later than 15:00.

This was such a peaceful day. The private speedboat was perfect, and the islands were beautiful. The crew took great care of us and made sure we were comfortable. My only complaint is that it got a bit rushed near the end. Still, I’d recommend this tour for anyone who loves the ocean.

The private speedboat made the tour feel special, and the crew was professional and friendly. The islands were stunning, but Phra Nang Beach was a bit crowded. I enjoyed the snorkeling at Tup Island, but I wish we had more time to explore. Overall, a good experience with some minor drawbacks.

The islands were so pretty, and the private boat was nice and clean. I loved swimming at Phra Nang Beach—it felt like paradise! The guide was kind and helpful, but the snorkeling wasn’t as exciting as I thought it would be. Still, it was a relaxing and fun trip.

This tour was really enjoyable. The speedboat was comfortable, and the islands were beautiful. Chicken Island was my favorite because it wasn’t too crowded. The only downside was that the snorkeling spots weren’t as colorful as I expected. Overall, a good day!

The islands were stunning, and the private speedboat was a great way to visit them. The guide was nice and made sure everything went smoothly. I just wish we had more time on Poda Island—it felt like the day ended too quickly. Still, it was a wonderful experience!

Can I join this tour from Railay Beach?
Yes. We can pick you and your group up from Railay Beach for an extra fee of THB 1000. The exact location is the Railay East floating pier. Please walk to the end of the pier for the pickup. We will send you the pickup time once the booking comes in.
When is the best time to visit the 4 Islands?
The best time to visit the 4 Islands is just after the rainy season, which ends in November. Temperatures are pleasant during November - March, and the seas are usually calm. The blue skies are perfect for photo opportunities during these months.
Is this tour suitable for children?
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.
