Start where you stay

Four islands. A different rhythm.
Swim off Poda, look out for Chicken Island’s rock formation and cross the shallows at Tup when conditions allow. The sandbar changes with the tide, and your captain plans the route around the sea.

Ask us a questionThe classic route visits Koh Poda, Chicken Island, Tup and Mor islands, with Phra Nang Beach often included as another stop. The exact stops and order depend on your tour, the tide and sea conditions.
Only when the tide is low enough. At higher tide the connecting sandbar can be under water. Choose the boat for its whole itinerary; a dry sandbar crossing cannot be guaranteed.
A longtail gives you the traditional open-boat experience at a slower pace. A speedboat shortens the crossings, but can feel bumpy in choppy conditions. A private boat gives your group more control over the day.
It varies by tour. Check the inclusions and exclusions on your selected listing before booking, and allow for any park fees payable separately.
Most departures use piers around Ao Nang. Hotel pickup zones and Railay arrangements vary, so check the individual tour and your confirmation for the meeting point.
Many tours welcome families. Check the specific minimum age, child age bands, life jackets and boat restrictions before booking. Let the team know if anyone has mobility or swimming concerns.
