The engine hum drops to a lull as the Andaman evening pulls the boat away from Ao Nang; the sea loosens its heat and the limestone cliffs begin to silhouette like silent sentries. You step onto the sandbar at Thale Waek and the water seems to sigh around your ankles, connecting Tup, Mor and Chicken Island in a brief, walkable bridge that appears and vanishes with the tide.

The engine hum drops to a lull as the Andaman evening pulls the boat away from Ao Nang; the sea loosens its heat and the limestone cliffs begin to silhouette like silent sentries. You step onto the sandbar at Thale Waek and the water seems to sigh around your ankles, connecting Tup, Mor and Chicken Island in a brief, walkable bridge that appears and vanishes with the tide.
These islands sit on a coastline carved from ancient carbonate rock—towering karst cliffs formed over millions of years—while Phra Nang Cave preserves local folklore: offerings on the beach honor a princess-goddess and the fishermen’s hopes. The coral gardens around Koh Ya Wa Sam and Koh Ma Tang Ming host colorful reef fish and, if you’re lucky, a passing sea turtle; the ecosystems are fragile and easy to disturb.
The tour balances scenic cruising with short active stops: snorkeling over shallow reefs, a beach stroll on Poda’s white sand, and a final glide to Railay for an orange-red sunset, followed by a Thai-style BBQ on the sand. Guides handle transfers and gear, making it accessible for most travelers, but sea conditions can change the plan.
Practical tips: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and water shoes; secure phone cameras for spray and sun. Aim for a midday pickup to avoid morning crowds and expect 5–5.5 hours away from your hotel. If seas are rough, request life jacket fitting and follow crew instructions—safety is the tide that keeps the trip steady.
Yes—snorkeling masks and life jackets are provided on the tour; you can bring your own fins if preferred.
Families are welcome but infants must sit on an adult’s lap; the operator limits numbers and provides life jackets for kids.
Trips can be canceled for safety in poor sea conditions—refund policies typically require cancellation 24 hours prior for full refund.
The tour includes drinking water, soft drinks, snacks, fruits and a Thai-style BBQ dinner served on the beach after sunset.
