Krabi Nice Sea Snorkeling Tour to Yawasam & Talu Island
Explore the remote islands of Krabi
Highlights
- Cruise on a traditional wooden boat beyond the “4 Islands” group
- Get off the beaten path at Yawasam Island
- Swim with colourful Anemone fish on shallow coral reefs
- Stroll along the secret Buya Beach in the south of Koh Poda
- Enjoy a rich experience on a small group tour
What to expect
Start the off-the-beaten-path tour with a convenient pickup service directly from your hotel lobby in the late morning. Meet the lovely crew of Krabi Nice Sea at Nopparat Thara Pier in Ao Nang and board the traditional wooden boat which will bring you beyond the 4 Island group.
Escape reality and leave the crowds behind with a stop at Koh Yawasam, where hordes of visitors are replaced by serenity and relaxation. This secret island behind the “4 Islands” group in Krabi is the ideal snorkeling spot with a beautiful coral reef and colourful fish. Find your own Nemo in the very crystal clear seawater surrounded by beautiful rock formations jutting out of the sea.
Continue to Koh Talu, a small island with about 45 meters in height and with strange rock formations. Here you can swim through a small tunnel into Talu Cave during low tide. In the center is a 30-meter wide lagoon, the result of natural erosion for thousand of years. Talu Island is home to hundred of cave-dwelling swifts which build tiny white nests, the key ingredient in Birds’ Nest Soup.
Cruise further to the southern end of Koh Poda, where you can stroll along the small deserted Buya Beach and have a swim in crystal clear water with a variety of sea life. Enjoy a Thai style lunch directly at the sugar soft, white sand beach. This place is definitely less touristic than the famous beach in the north of the island where most visitors arrive.
Sail slowely back to Ao Nang across the Andaman Sea, sitting either in the center of the boat under a well protected sun roof or in the bow from where you have a great view to the passing by Railay peninsula.
