Private Longtail Boat Tour to 4 Islands from Ao Nang, Krabi
A private longtail boat from Ao Nang takes you to four of Krabi’s best island stops—white sand, a sandbar revealed at low tide, colorful reefs and a cliff-side cave shrine. This full-day tour combines flexible pacing with local knowledge and included transfers.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Use mineral-based sunscreen to protect coral and reapply frequently—there’s limited shade on sandbar beaches.
Wear water shoes
Beaches and shallow reefs can be rocky; water shoes protect feet when boarding from the sandbar or scrambling on tidal rock.
Watch the tide schedule
The sandbar that connects islands appears at low tide—ask your guide when to visit to walk it safely.
Protect electronics
Use a small dry bag or waterproof case—spray from the engine and boarding can soak phones and cameras.

Conservation Note
Coral reefs here are sensitive to warming and physical damage—follow your guide, avoid touching corals, and use reef‑safe products to reduce impact.
Longtail boats are a local innovation adapted to shallow coastal waters; the karst islands themselves are remnants of ancient limestone uplift and marine erosion.
