Four-Island Hopping by Long-Tail Boat

Krabi’s charm lies in its islands scattered close offshore. A four-island tour by long-tail boat reveals their variety. At Koh Poda, a limestone tower rises dramatically above white sand and turquoise sea — picture-perfect, iconic. At Chicken Island, a rock formation shaped like rooster’s head guards waters rich with coral, ideal for snorkeling. Between Koh Tup and Koh Mor, a sandbar emerges at low tide, connecting the two. Walking across feels surreal, sea stretching on both sides, horizon endless. Fish dart in shallows, shells glisten, and the world feels momentarily paused. Each stop offers rhythm: swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, exploring. Onboard, lunches of rice, curry, and tropical fruit are shared, laughter carried on sea breeze. The boats themselves add charm — wooden, painted bright, with prows adorned in ribbons. They move slowly, allowing time to watch cliffs pass, water shift from turquoise to sapphire. The four-island journey is microcosm of Krabi — variety, beauty, intimacy.
