The Krabi 4-Island tour is the signature day out on Thailand's Andaman coast — a speedboat run to four of the region's most beautiful islands, fringed by limestone cliffs and impossibly clear water. It is a reliable bestseller for couples and families, runs from both Krabi and Phuket, and as a Thailand DMC for travel agents and your Krabi DMC, we match the right boat and departure to the client.
What is the Krabi 4-Island tour?
It is a full-day island-hopping trip by speedboat taking in four headline spots: Phra Nang Cave Beach, the much-photographed Chicken Island (Koh Kai) with its rock spur, and the sandbar-linked Tup and Mor Islands, plus Poda Island for swimming and lunch. The day mixes swimming, snorkelling and beach time among the karst scenery. From Krabi it is a relaxed full day (pick-up around 07:30–08:30, back mid-afternoon); from Phuket it is a longer 10–12 hour adventure with an early start. National park fees apply.
Understand the options
The variables an agent works with are the departure point, the boat and whether park fees are included:
- From Krabi — the relaxed, shorter version, closest to the islands.
- From Phuket — a full-day adventure with an early start and longer transfer, for clients based there.
- Shared (SIC) vs private — a standard seat-in-coach group day, or a private boat for families and groups wanting flexibility.
Included typically: hotel transfers, the speedboat, a Thai lunch, snorkelling gear and life jackets, with an English-speaking guide. Excluded: the national park fee where the rate states "excluding NPF", and personal spending. Always confirm whether the fee is in or out — Explera states it clearly on every quotation.
How to package it
The 4-Island tour is a full-day anchor on a Krabi itinerary, best after a relaxed arrival day. For clients based in Phuket who want it, flag the early start and long day, or suggest a Krabi-side stay. Add a private transfer from our Thailand DMC transport team and fold it into a wider Thailand DMC tours-and-activities package for travel agents.
Frequently asked questions
