What is this tour like?
Koh Hong sits between Ao Nang and Phang Nga Bay, and the 4 Islands lie within sight of Ao Nang beach. Most operators sell them as two separate days. Krabi Ezy Trails puts both into one speedboat run by starting early: pick-up from 06:20 in Krabi Town, 06:50–07:20 in Ao Nang, and departure from Ao Nang Pier at about 07:45.
The morning belongs to the Hong group — the lagoon ringed by cliffs and mangroves, the beach that works like a natural swimming pool, the 360° viewpoint (optional, and subject to the authorities keeping it open), Lading Island and a Thai buffet lunch on Pak Bia. The afternoon crosses back to Daeng Island for snorkelling, then Chicken Island, the three-pronged sandbar at Koh Mor and Koh Tub, and Koh Poda, with the boat back at Ao Nang Pier between 17:00 and 17:30.
The operator's site showed ฿2,200 for an adult and ฿1,600 for a child aged 3 to 11 on 5 September 2026, marked as 40% off list prices of ฿3,100 and ฿2,300. National park fees are separate and, because the route crosses two parks, come to ฿500 per adult and ฿250 per child. The boat takes at most 25 guests.
