Krabi 4 Islands Speedboat Tour: Poda, Chicken, Tup & Phra Nang Snorkelling Day Trip
Hit a classic Krabi loop of Poda, Chicken, Tup and Phra Nang by speedboat—snorkel coral gardens, walk the low-tide sandbar, and eat a Thai lunch on a sun-baked shore. Ideal for travelers wanting a fast, scenic taste of the Andaman.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Apply reef-safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply with a towel to avoid contaminating coral and to reduce sunburn risk on open water.
Wear water shoes
Shallow reefs and rocky edges around beaches can be sharp—water shoes protect feet during short shore entries and scrambling.
Carry a small dry bag
Keep phones, passports, and extra cash dry while transferring between boat and shore; many boats get splashed during boarding.
Be mindful in jellyfish season
From May to October currents can bring jellyfish—consult your guide and wear a thin lycra top if you’re sensitive.
