4-Island Tour by Traditional Big Longtail Boat from Krabi

We had a lovely time on our 4-island trip. The weather had meant the sea was quite rough so we didn't get to the cave beach (I can't remember the name) but we did get to spend some time on chicken island beach. The longtail boat wasn't the easiest to get on or off, it was done by a small ladder. Luckily this provider does have a jetty which makes it easier to get on and off at the start and finish but the bits in betweeen you have to get on from the sea. At one point I did think I might have to stay in the sea forever as it was really high to get onto the ladder after snorkelling in the sea. I did manage it and I am larger than most but quite strong. The food was nice and islands were stunning. Would definitely recommend.

These are beautiful islands and beaches with clear warm water for swimming. Tasty lunch. Unfortunately very crowded. That was expected. What I didn't expect was a very poor guide with no communication skills. We were left to wander. Nothing to see in the water. I wouldn't call it a snorkeling trip. Bring ear plugs as those boats are loud.

Great day out visiting the beautiful islands , swimming & snorkelling in crystal clear water. Trip was very well organised & snorkelling gear & life vests we like new. Lunch was good & catered for all.

Very well organised, it’s a big tour group company organising it. Boats were new, private pier was great, hotel pick up was based on location (3 hotels max for mine... so other hotels far away from mine were picked by another vehicle). View was awesome! Worth the money. Food was surprisingly decent... we expected sandwiches but we got thai food! The highlight was the snorkelling!

We enjoyed this trip alot. Our tour guide was funny and nice guy. We had a great time. Thanks, Sivapriya

Joined 4-Island tour by Traditional Big Longtail Boat on 22/4/2019 (Orange team), very nice, friendly, humor and very caring tour leader. Good English communication and nice simple lunch & fruit. Highly recommend to my friend going soon for their honeymoon holiday at Krabi.

Really enjoyed the islands we stopped at. Lovely beaches and caves. Food, fruit and water/juice supplied and was very nice. Engine fumes can be a little overpowering if you have to sit close to it, but that didn't spoil a great day out.

Overcrowded from the start, with barely enough time at the islands to enjoy any of them. We were waiting at the pier for nearly an hour to get on the boat, then couldn’t enjoy the 3 islands which are connected by a walking beach in the sea when the tide is low (by the time we got there the tide was too high - perhaps more organisation and we could have done? However, staff were really friendly and helpful. Lunch was poor.

No regrets visiting the 4 beautiful islands, which was the highlights of our 5 days Krabi holiday. Highly recommended to visit the islands! 2 of us originally wanted to book a private long tail boat, but decided to book a tour with Viator just before we flew to Krabi. Cost wasn't so much a concern, mainly because we want a safe and easy trip with a good English guide, since we are not strong swimmers in sea. A few things amaze us after booking this tour via Viator :1. very effective communication via email. They sent emails reminding us to provide hotel room no. for easy identification for the hotel pickup service. Another email reminded us the pickup time and provided detail information like which company was to pick us and how to contact them. On the day of pickup, they were late. We decided to try and sent email to Viator (free hotel wifi). They responded INSTANTLY giving status of the pickup! That certainly offered assurance and helped save some mobile phone charges!2. For 2 people, seems like it was cheaper to book with Viator compared to booking a similar tour on-the-spot in AoNang, even if we add the additional 400THB national park fee per person. Note : there are many local companies running this kind of tour from what we observed.3. Our tour was provided by a big local company Nang An Travel & Tour, who was extremely well organized and have it's own private jetty with drinks and snacks station! Yut was our guide. He and his team were fantastic throughout the day, helping and serving everyone, making sure we were all safe and well fed! Icy cold water available all day. The snorkeling gears looked new and well maintained. They were professional and responsible. When we returned to the jetty, Yut also helped to make sure everyone gets on the right transport back to hotel.Our tour was about 40-50 people. It was during the peak Xmas holiday period. Big group but we were not too bothered by the crowd. Everyone was friendly and on-time. The thing we dislike most was the hotel transfer service where they dangerously over-packed passengers into the songthaew! It would also be nice to have more time on 1 or 2 islands. We were given about 45 min per stop. Overall, it was a good and adequate first-time-see-it-all tour.

Price offered by viator was very cheap compared to local travel agencies nor even over the counter price. Also the tour provider Nang An operates all tours very well. Well managed pick up and drop to hotel. Their guides are also very friendly and helpful. Lunch organized by them is tasty and unlimited water bottles . Overall very Happy with this tour.
