Krabi 4-Island Day Tour: Tup, Chicken, Poda & Phra Nang by Speedboat
Spend a full day skimming the Andaman Sea between Tup, Chicken, Poda and Phra Nang—each stop offers distinct beaches, snorkeling and dramatic limestone formations. This practical guide tells you what to expect, how to prepare, and which local details matter.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book morning departures
Calmer seas and clearer snorkeling conditions usually occur in the morning; aim for early pickup from Ao Nang or Nopparat Thara.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Coral-friendly sunscreen protects marine life and avoids whitening the water’s visibility when you snorkel.
Wear water shoes
Beaches are often fine sand but entries can include coral and rock—water shoes protect feet when entering/exiting.
Prepare for tides and changes
Itinerary order can shift with tides and weather; keep expectations flexible and bring a light rain layer in monsoon season.

Conservation Note

The karst islands are remnants of ancient coral and marine sediments uplifted and sculpted over millennia; local fishing communities and mythic cave shrines reflect long coastal traditions.
