What can you expect
The crew of Sea Eagle Tour will pick you up at midday directly from your hotel lobby, and bring you safe and sound to the starting point of the sunset tour at Nopparat Thara Pier in Ao Nang.
Meet your friendly and attentive guide at the check-in counter where you will get all the required information to have an unforgettable adventure.
Depart on a luxury longtail boat with a small group size to the 4 Islands archipelago. The first stop will be at Koh Tup, an offshore island with panoramic views of the Krabi coastline as its backdrop. At low tide, a sandbar emerges linking Tup Island with Chicken Island as well as the smaller Mor Island. This unique occurrence is commonly referred to as Talay Waek, meaning ‘divided sea’.
Cruise slowly past Koh Kai which got its name from a bizarre rock formation resembling the head of a chicken. This is definitely the right time for all photographers to prove their talent. Escape reality and leave the crowds behind with a stop at Koh Ya Wa Sam, where hordes of visitors are replaced by serenity and relaxation. This secret island is the ideal snorkeling spot with a beautiful coral reef and colourful fish - find your own Nemo.
On the way to Poda Island, you will have the opportunity to snorkel in deep water around Koh Ma Tan Ming Island, a small rocky outcrop just in front of Koh Poda. Feel like a stroll along the beach? You will have plenty of time to explore the largest island of the group despite its area being no more than a kilometre in diameter. Covered with palm and pine trees and almost entirely encircled by a soft white sand beach, it is every inch the stunning tropical getaway.
The last stop will be at Phra Nang Cave Beach with powdery sand and crystal clear waters. It is ranked amongst Asia's top ten beaches by TripAdvisor, and offers spectacular limestone cliffs with staggering stalagmites and stalactites. On the edge of Phra Nang Beach, a cave has been dedicated to a princess goddess named Phra Nang. According to legend, she was an Indian princess who was killed in a shipwreck. In another tale, Phra Nang was the wife of a fisherman who was lost at sea. She lived out the rest of her days in the cave, awaiting her husband’s return.
Before it's getting dark, feast in a romantic Thai style BBQ dinner directly at the beach while watching the spectacular orange-red sky at sunset. Enjoy this unique moment before heading back to the pier where the driver will bring you back to your hotel with lasting memories.

Important
- Bring a towel, waterproof bag, swimwear, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, flip flops and camera.
- During certain seasons, jellyfish may be present in the Andaman Sea, and contact can cause skin irritation or discomfort. To minimize the risk, we recommend wearing protective clothing such as watershoes and long swimwear when swimming.
- Ensuring your safety is our top priority. To that end, we strongly recommend wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkeling.
- Longtail boats navigate close to the shoreline, allowing passengers a convenient and effortless transition to the beach.
- While flip-flops are convenient, water shoes offer better protection against sharp objects like shells or rocks on the sand, and provide improved traction on wet surfaces.
- Shorts are ideal as they dry quickly and allow for greater freedom of movement, especially if the water level reaches above your knees when getting on or off the boat.
- This tour is not recommended for infants under 3 years old, pregnant women or people with back or neck problems.
- There is a minimum of 10 people required to run this activity! On the rare occasion that we should be required to cancel this trip, we will inform you in advance and offer a different travel date, an alternative activity or provide a full refund.
