Poda Island – scenic beauty and secret beaches
This scenic island, known for its white sand beaches and crystal clear water, may sound typical of many other islands, but it is a true treasure waiting to be explored.
Chicken Island, AKA Koh Kai, in Thai
Visit Chicken Island – the island is famous for its striking rock formation that resembles a chicken’s neck and head – hence, the origin of its name! This geological feature makes it a popular spot for photography.
Tup Island and Thale Waek
The Tup Islands, including Koh Mor, are known for the natural feature of the Thale Waek, which means ‘Separated Sea’. These islands and tropical sandbar are nestled between Chicken Island and Poda Island, connecting them during low tide. Visitors can walk the sandbar between the islands while enjoying breathtaking views of the surrounding sea – a pretty surreal experience and a beautiful place to visit.
The Hong Island or 4 Island Tour – Enjoy to the Max!
To make the most of your day trip, here are some tropical tips to keep in mind.
🏝 4 Islands – 4 words: snorkel, swim, sightsee, sunbathe! With vibrant reefs and clear water all around, each of these islands is an idyllic snorkeling spot and a swimming delight. Snorkeling, swimming, exploring and soaking up the sun – there are opportunities at every turn! Swim in the most amazing water with tropical fish and marvel at the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you.
🚤 Choose the right tour operator: Only book reputable, well-organized tours – private or public – with professional crew and quality boats that ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
🌞 Pack essentials: Bring sun protection, such as sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses, as well as a towel and device to take plenty photos. Additionally, pack your snorkeling gear if you prefer your own, although most tour boats provide the necessary equipment.
💧 Stay hydrated: The hot and humid climate can be intense, drink lots of bottled water throughout the day. A private tour or well-organized public tour will provide refreshments and fresh fruit and arrange lunch for you.
👣 Follow responsible tourism practices: Some of these islands form part of the Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park of Thailand, so it’s important to respect the region’s natural beauty. Avoid littering and damage to coral reefs and marine life – taking only memories and leaving only footprints.
🦺 Your safety is paramount: All boat trips include life jackets and safety equipment to ensure a safe and secure experience on the water so you can relax and enjoy. Additionally, the operator tracks sea conditions leading up to and on the day and will communicate them to you.
Where to Book Your Place on Tour!
The Hong Island or 4 Island Tour is an enchanting journey to some of Thailand’s most beautiful island destinations.
If you are in Krabi province, head to Krabi Town, Tub Kaek Beach, Klong Muang Beach, or even Ao Nang Beach to find out about boat operators and tour times. Consider a private longtail boat experience. Our recommendation though is that a private tour by speed boat is the most ideal way to discover the famous 4 Islands.
Oh, and while in Krabi, be sure to visit the coastal highlights of Ao Nang Beach, Railay Beach, including Phra Nang Cave Beach, and the many exquisite islands off the mainland.
