Spend a full day skimming the turquoise Andaman to four of Krabi’s iconic islands — Chicken Island, Tub and Mor, and Koh Poda — on a combined big-boat and speedboat tour from Phuket. Expect snorkeling, sandbars (at low tide), and a long but accessible day on the water.

The day begins with salt and engine-song: you leave Phuket’s Rassada harbor early, drafts of cool sea spraying the foredeck as the coastline slips aft. Within an hour the limestone karsts of the Andaman rise like blunt cliffs from a green-blue plain, and the boat threads toward a chain of islands that have defined Thailand’s southern shorelines for millennia.

The day begins with salt and engine-song: you leave Phuket’s Rassada harbor early, drafts of cool sea spraying the foredeck as the coastline slips aft. Within an hour the limestone karsts of the Andaman rise like blunt cliffs from a green-blue plain, and the boat threads toward a chain of islands that have defined Thailand’s southern shorelines for millennia.
Geology here is blunt and dramatic — karst towers of Permian limestone sculpted by rain and tidal seasonality into sheer faces and hidden caves. The islands were once fishing grounds for small coastal communities; today local longtail captains and speedboat crews ferry visitors to the white-sand edges that swell and shrink with the tide.
Expect postcard-ready stops: the oddly-shaped summit of Koh Gai (Chicken Island), the sandbar link between Koh Tub and Koh Mor at low tide, the snorkelable reefs off Koh Poda, and broad shallow beaches for lunch and sun.
Practically: it’s a full 10-hour day with multiple short swims and beach stops. Boats vary — big-boat comfort for longer rides; speedboats cut time but add spray. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a water-resistant bag for cameras, and basic snorkeling confidence; staff typically provide masks, snorkels and life jackets. Tide timing changes the experience—low tide reveals sand connections and high tide deepens channels. Keep an eye on schedules: pickups from central Phuket meeting points are early, and weather can rearrange the plan. Move carefully on slippery rocks, don’t touch corals, and leave space for local fishermen and nesting birds — the islands are lively, opinionated places that reward attention.
This is a roughly 10-hour day tour with early-morning pickup from Phuket meeting points; exact pickup times are provided on your voucher and must be confirmed with the operator.
Yes—many operators supply masks, snorkels and life jackets, though bringing a personally fitted mask is more comfortable for longer swims.
Children are allowed but infants must sit on laps; life jackets are provided and non-swimmers can still participate by staying on the boat or using a life jacket during snorkel stops.
Operators generally monitor sea conditions; the tour may adjust island stops or return earlier if seas are rough. Cancellation policies vary—confirm refund terms when booking.
