Private long tail boat Krabi tours are the classic way to explore the islands off Ao Nang. You have the boat to yourselves, choose your own pace, and stop wherever the captain and tide allow. This private premium longtail boat charter leaves from Ao Nang and offers two routes: a half-day trip to the Krabi 4 islands, or a full day around the Hong Islands. The price covers the whole boat, and the promotion price is for 1–10 guests.

The routes
Krabi 4 Islands (half day)
The 4 islands route usually includes Phra Nang Cave Beach on the Railay peninsula, Koh Poda, Chicken Island (Koh Kai) and Koh Tup, where a sandbar joins the islands at low tide. There’s time to swim, snorkel and relax on the beaches. The afternoon trip finishes at sunset.
Hong Islands (full day)
The Hong Islands lie north of Ao Nang in the national park. The day usually includes the Hong Island lagoon and beach, plus nearby islands such as Koh Lao Lading and Koh Pak Bia, depending on the tide. It’s a longer day with more time at each stop.
The exact stops depend on the tide, the weather and park rules on the day. Your captain will suggest the best order.
