Four Islands in One Morning: Longtail Boat from Krabi to Tup Island's Tidal Sandbar

You board a longtail or speedboat in Krabi and spend the morning island-hopping to four separate stops: Phra Nang Beach with its spirit house and climbing routes, Chicken Island, Tup Island with its low-tide sandbar, and a white sand beach for swimming. Snorkeling equipment, lunch, and all entry fees are included, and the guide handles the timing so you're back at your hotel by early afternoon.

The Experience

Most island tours in Krabi pack the same three stops into the same eight-hour loop. This one cuts that in half — you're back at your hotel by early afternoon, which means you either have the rest of the day free or you're not choosing between snorkeling and lunch. The boat leaves early, which is the whole point. By the time other groups are boarding, you're already in the water at Phra Nang Beach, where the limestone cliffs rise straight up from the sand and the rock climbers are already working the routes. Your guide points out the old spirit house tucked into the rock face, and then you're moving again.

The four islands tour from Krabi hits Phra Nang, Chicken Island (which does look like a chicken head if you squint), Tup Island, and a white sand beach for swimming. What makes Tup different is the tidal sandbar — when the tide goes out, the sea pulls back and leaves a strip of white sand connecting two islands. You can walk between them. It's the kind of thing that sounds small until you're standing on it and the water is gone. Snorkeling gear is included, so you don't rent it separately or wonder if it fits. The coral reef around the islands is shallow enough to see from the boat, and the water is clear enough that you can count the fish.

Lunch happens on the beach, not on the boat, which changes the whole rhythm of the day. You're sitting down, not balancing a plate on your lap while the boat rocks. The guide speaks English and knows which stops are worth the time and which ones people skip. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you're not negotiating a tuk-tuk fare at 7 a.m. or figuring out which pier to walk to. The boat is either a traditional longtail (slower, more stable, better photos) or a speedboat (faster, more stops possible), depending on the day and the group size. Either way, you're snorkeling in the Andaman Sea, not watching other people do it from the deck.

What’s included

Your day includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Krabi, snorkeling mask and fins, lunch on the beach, all national park entry fees, soft drinks and water throughout the day, and an English-speaking guide who knows the islands and the tides.

Is this one for you?Choose this if you want the main islands without spending a full day on the water — the morning-only schedule means you're snorkeling and back before lunch time ends, leaving your afternoon open.
