Day Cruises in Krabi

Set out across the Andaman Sea for a day-long tour of Krabi's "˜4 Islands,' and watch the tide uncover the slender spits that join the jungle isles. Explore the sinuous coastline by speedboat or traditional longtail, and leave the day's first footprints on fine, powdery beaches. Snorkel in a sheltered lagoon, linger in the swaying shade of coconut palms, and enjoy a picnic lunch on a pristine beach. Stroll between Tup Islets and Chicken Island, then cast off again toward fantastical rock formations that soar above the tropical sea.

Board a speedboat for the Phi Phi Islands on a full-day tour from Krabi, and island-hop through a stunning Andaman Sea archipelago. Encounter vivid murals and circling swallows at Viking Cave, swim in sheltered coves and sink into pristine beaches. Snorkel above the radiant coral at Ao Maya and Ao Lo Sama, slip between the cliffs that circle Maya Bay, and pause for a buffet lunch at Koh Phi Phi Don, then cast off again to explore the islands' thriving reefs and pocked, limestone cliffs.
