Private longtail boat to Krabi 4 islands — Poda, Tup, Chicken & Phranang
Charter a traditional longtail and shape your own day among Krabi’s most photographed islands—Poda, Tup, Chicken and the Phranang beaches. Expect karst cliffs, tidal sandbars, good snorkeling, and flexible pacing with pick-up from Ao Nang.
The Experience
Before You Go
Time the sandbar
Visit Tup Island during low tide to walk the white sand connection to nearby islets—check tide charts or ask your guide before planning that stop.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply reef‑safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply off the water to protect coral and marine life.
Bring water shoes
Many island approaches have rocky shallows and sharp coral—water shoes make exits and short hikes safer and more comfortable.
Ride comfortably
If you get seasick, take medication ahead of departure and sit midboat where motion is gentlest; life jackets are provided.
