Private 4 Islands Charter from Ao Nang — Luxury Longtail with an Onboard Assistant

What is this tour like?

The 4 Islands route is the same one every boat in Ao Nang runs. What differs here is that nobody else is on board. Prices are quoted per boat: ฿8,500 for a half day on the luxury longtail, ฿14,900 for the full day with sunset, and ฿16,500 for the full day on the premium speedboat. A longtail is priced for up to four guests, with a maximum of eight; the speedboat for up to six, with a maximum of ten.

Poda Island is where the day slows down — soft white sand, calm turquoise water, and the picnic laid out on the beach. Chicken Island has shallow reefs just off the bow, and at low tide the sandbar links Tub and Chicken so you can wade between them. The full-day itinerary adds Yawasam Island and Diamond Cave and finishes with golden-hour light on the way home.

What comes with the boat is unusually long: welcome drink, soft drinks, juice, sparkling and still water, fresh coconut, cold brew coffee or Thai tea, a fruit platter, refreshing towels, curated food sets and an afternoon tea set on full days, mask and snorkel, life jackets and floaties, beach mat and cushions, a sun deck, a Marshall Bluetooth speaker, a power bank, towels, a sand-shovel kit for children, and accident insurance up to ฿1,000,000. The marine park fee is separate. The park's published rate for these islands is ฿400 per adult and ฿200 per child; the operator states ฿200 and ฿100, so confirm the amount when you book. And transfers beyond Ao Nang — Klong Muang, Tubkaek, Krabi Town, Railay — cost ฿500 one way or ฿900 return.
