Koh Poda and the four islands, Krabi · 6 hours
Four Islands Day Trip
Koh Gai, Koh Tup, Koh Mawr, Koh Poda — and a barbecue on the sand
Most people do the four islands in the morning, which is why the afternoon is better. We leave at two, take the sandbar between Koh Tup and Koh Mawr while the tide is out, snorkel off Koh Poda, and cook on the beach while the sun drops into the Andaman. You are back in Ao Nang after dark, which is exactly the right way round.
Why you'll love it
- The afternoon slot has a fraction of the boats.
- Dinner on the sand is the part people talk about afterwards.
- You are home for a late drink rather than a late lunch.
Highlights
- The sandbar between Koh Tup and Koh Mawr at low tide
- Snorkelling off Koh Poda
- Barbecue cooked on the beach
- Sunset from the water

Cancellation
If you have a confirmed booking and the trip cannot go ahead because of dangerous weather (not just rain or grey skies), we either change the destination and take you somewhere safe, or — if we know from weather warnings the day before — offer you another date during your stay, subject to availability. The captain makes the final decision on whether it is possible to depart for any destination. If no destination is possible during your stay, or we have no availability, we refund your deposit. Cancel more than 7 days before the trip date: the full deposit is returned. Cancel 7 days or less before the trip date: the deposit is not refundable. Cancel within 24 hours of the trip date: the full trip price is payable.
Questions
Will the sandbar be walkable on our date?
It depends entirely on the tide. Tell us your dates and we will tell you honestly whether that day is a good one for it, or suggest a better one.
Can you cater for dietary requirements at the barbecue?
Yes — vegetarian, halal and allergies are all straightforward. Tell us when you book.
A guest on Four Islands Day Trip
“Wow! Amazing trip and top notch service for our private long tail boat trip (Hong Island + 4 islands and BBQ dinner at sunset). Just got back from the boat and must rave about it immediately! Joy was super kind in explaining all the different tour options before I made up my mind. Just thrilled with how perfectly the trip went! I booked…”
