Private 4 Islands Tour from Krabi

The 4 Islands tour is Krabi's signature day out, and aboard a Boat and Beyond private charter it becomes something far more relaxed than the usual crowded group trip. You and your party have the whole boat to yourselves, setting your own pace as you cruise between four of the Andaman's most photographed landmarks: Railay Beach, Poda Island, Tub Island and Chicken Island.

Poda Island is where the day slows down — soft white sand, calm turquoise water and a picnic set up right on the beach. At Chicken Island the snorkelling is superb, with shallow reefs alive with tropical fish just off the bow, and at low tide the famous sandbar links Tub and Chicken islands so you can wade between them. Throughout the trip your personal onboard assistant keeps drinks, fruit and refreshing towels coming.

Choose the half-day itinerary for a focused sunrise or sunset run, or the full day to add Yawasam Island and Diamond Cave and finish with golden-hour views on the way home. Longtail charters carry up to four guests (maximum eight) and premium speedboats up to six (maximum ten). Free car transfer within the Ao Nang area is included, and departures are from the Ao Nang pier.
