Highlights

  • Small group of max 12 guests
  • Thai lunch at a local restaurant
  • Led by a local guide

A 4 Islands speedboat tour capped at 12 guests — the operator says it is the only sunset departure running this group size on the route — this trip covers the standard Krabi islands in the afternoon, then adds a sunset stop and a night swim through bioluminescent plankton that a daytime tour skips entirely.

Hotel pickup from Ao Nang is at 12:30 pm, with a Railay transfer at 1:00 pm; guests coming from Krabi Town, Khlong Muang or Tub Keek can arrange an earlier 11:30 am pickup for an extra 500 THB per person. The boat stops at Poda Island for two hours of swimming, Tup Island for an hour with a snorkel session, then Phranang Beach on the Railay peninsula for a two-hour sunset stop before the 15-minute plankton swim after dark.

Traditional Thai lunch, snorkelling equipment, life jackets, a guide, water, soft drinks, snacks and fresh fruit are included in the $77 price. National park fees are not: 200 THB per adult and 100 THB per child, paid on the day. The boat is capped at 12 guests, with one further seat for the guide.

Watch out: national park entrance fees (200 THB adult, 100 THB child) are collected separately from the tour price, and anyone needing pickup from Krabi Town, Khlong Muang or Tub Keek pays a 500 THB per-person surcharge for the earlier departure.

Insider Tip: the bioluminescent plankton swim only shows up well on clear, dark nights away from artificial light, so it is the one part of the day genuinely worth choosing this evening departure over a standard daytime 4 Islands tour.

Itinerary

1

Poda Island - is easily visible from Ao Nang Beach and is the most popular in Krabi because it is only a 15 minute boat ride (Longtail), Poda is the Rangers Park Base and is equipped with Bars and Baths. Poda Beach is a large white sand beach where you can relax and swim in the crystal clear sea. Walking on the left side of the island you will arrive in the wild side of the island, certainly quieter and far from the front area, where tourists stop to take pictures in front of the large limestone that makes the surrounding landscape unique

2

Tup Island - Krabi Sunset will show you the three main islands facing Ao Nang starting from the island of Tup which is an incredible place where you can swim and snorkel to discover the local marine life. When the tide turns back you will gradually see a white sand line appear that will allow you to walk to Chicken Island.
