Amazing day enjoying a “Four Island tour” in Krabi, Thailand, including a longtail boat, snorkeling, sunshine, beach time and plenty of photo opportunities!

The Four Island tour took us from Aonang Beach to these lovely stops:

1. Seal island

This limestone cliff stretches out of the water near Poda island and makes for a good snorkeling spot. Beautifully clear water.

2. Poda island

Stunning! The snorkeling right off the beach was beautiful, there are limestone cliffs in the sea like on postcards and there are ’ Langkawi’ eagles soaring at the top of the cliffs. Fine white sand and turquoise water made for fantastic photo quality too!

3. Chicken island and Tup island

Very nice water quality, fun sea path walk/wade between the two islands, lots of shady nap spots and great scenery for photos.

4. Phranang cave

Interesting, busy, beautiful and impressive. Highlight definitely the cave and sheer limestone cliffs with of varied colours and textures. Phranang beach is far more beautiful than the popular Railay West and East beaches.

The Final Take on Four Island Tour

We’re not usually prone to taking touristy tours if we can help it. However, after some local research and weighing the other options, this one seemed like a good way to see the islands and have a day of snorkeling. As it turned out, it was so worth the 300 baht!

If you don’t mind a few boats in one location at one time, you’ll be okay. We’d recommend the Four Island tour to anyone who is spending a few days in the Krabi area. If you’re wanting a more relaxed day out on a boat and a chance to really take in what the ocean has to offer here, this is a good opportunity to do so.
