Krabi four islands tour: what you actually see

Poda, Chicken Island, Tup and Phra Nang on a longtail boat — the order, the crowds, and what the tour includes.

The Krabi four-islands route is the most-sold boat trip in southern Thailand, and it earns it: four stops, shallow water, and Phra Nang beach at the end. It is also crowded, because everyone does it.

The tour we list runs by traditional longtail, about six hours, with national park fees included.
