A private Siamese junk carries up to eight guests on this six-hour morning circuit through Krabi’s four-island run, with a buffet breakfast served on board rather than at a beachside stop. The boat starts at a snorkelling spot, then continues to Chicken Island for a second snorkel session and the gourmet spread (smoked salmon, cheeses, cereal, eggs and fresh bread) eaten with the limestone karsts as the backdrop.

The stand-out stop is the Talay Waek sandbar, a walkable strip of sand that surfaces between Tub Island and Chicken Island at low tide, connecting the two with the sea lapping on both sides for around 30 minutes before the tide reclaims it. From there the boat continues to Koh Poda, where a white-sand beach, paddleboards and a two-person kayak are available during the hour-long stop, before the return leg drops guests back at the meeting point or at Railay Beach via longtail transfer.

Pricing covers one to eight people as a private charter (extra adults cost 2,300 baht and extra children 1,500 baht), though the boat itself holds up to 15. Guides speak Thai, English and Spanish. Snorkelling gear (including kids’ sizes and prescription masks), life jackets, a freshwater shower and free-flow drinks and snacks are included; the on-board cocktail bar is a cash extra, and hotel pickup outside the Ao Nang and Railay meeting points costs more.

Key Facts:
  • Duration: 6 hours, private tour
  • Boat capacity: Up to 15, though the private rate covers 1-8
  • Languages: Thai, English, Spanish

Watch out: Hotel pickup isn’t included: only transfers from the Ao Nang and Railay meeting points are, so anyone staying elsewhere needs to arrange their own way to the pier.

Itinerary

1

Snorkeling spot with abundant marine life. Start the morning with snorkeling, paddleboard, kayaking and enjoying the morning sun on the deck of a traditional Thai junk boat.

2

Chicken Island

At the iconic Chicken Island, known for its rock formation that resembles a chicken’s head. Here, you will have a gourmet breakfast while taking in the scenery. Afterwards you can snorkel again at a reef. Paddleboards and kayaks are available to explore the coastline at your own pace or take to the island’s sandy beach.

3

Tup Island

During low tide, a stunning natural sandbar emerges between Tub Island and the nearby Chicken Island, creating a unique pathway known as "Talay Waek" or "Separated Sea." This sandbar connects the two islands, allowing you to walk across from one to the other with the sea gently lapping at your feet on both sides. It’s a truly picturesque and rare phenomenon, perfect for taking a stroll, snapping photos, or simply enjoying the serene surroundings. The shifting tides make this a temporary wonder, so experiencing it is a special highlight of the tour.

4

Koh Poda Island

At Poda Island, the boat stops at a stretch of white sand where you can swim, relax on the boat's roof top with a cocktail in hand, or explore Poda Island's beach. The island’s clear waters are good for paddleboarding or kayaking, with views of limestone cliffs all around.

5

Railay Beach

The boat returns to Railay beach, where you transfer to a longtail boat that takes you back to the meeting point or drops you at Railay beach if you want to relax there for the afternoon
