1.Krabi 4 Island Sunset Snorkeling Cruise + Bioluminescent Swim

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,861 reviews · from $130Our pick

Board a century-old Thai wooden junk from Ao Nang or Railay for a relaxed afternoon around Krabi’s islands. Michael and his crew provide quality snorkel gear, kayaks, SUPs, Thai food, and help in the water, ending with a swim among glowing plankton near Phra Nang Cave Beach.

“I took this 1-day trip and it was a great experience. The crew really focus on customer service, they were always offering drinks or fresh fruit, gave helpful snorkeling advice, and were very attentive. They provided free snorkeling equipment, and the masks were good quality, anti-fog, and even available in prescription. They filmed our adventure with a GoPro-style camera and shared a group Dropbox, so we got nice souvenirs of our snorkeling. They also had drone footage, giving us cool pictures of the islands and the boat. The bioluminescence was amazing, we jumped into the sea around 8 pm when it was dark, and the yellowish sparks in the water…”

“This was not the advertised snorkelling tour. It was a standard 4 island tourist tour that you could buy from any of the tens of sellers on the street in Krabi (This was all confirmed by the third party who was delivering the tour on behalf of the tour operator) There was literally 10mins snorkelling available. (to be clear, this was not due to poor weather conditions . it was just mis-selling). The guide was very nice and sympathetic but the tour was a waste of money (I am seeking a refund) and more importantly it was a waste of a day of my holiday as I would have never…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 164 reviews · from $52

Guides such as AJ and Pong have been praised for attentive help, though conditions can change the route.

“Great way to view the islands from a boat. Amazing scenery! We stay at the sand bar for 30 min, snorkel for 45 min, look at chicken island, snorkel again for 45 min, eat dinner at poda island for 2 hours to watch sunset. Then look at the bioluminescence. I would avoid this if you have motion sickness because you will be stuck on the boat until after the last activity. This is one and done type of deal. I recommend if you have not done any island hopping.”

Spend an afternoon on a shared longtail boat from Ao Nang, snorkeling at Yawasam and Tang Ming, circling Chicken Island, walking the Tup and Mor sandbar, eating Thai food at sunset on Poda Island, and swimming with bioluminescent plankton at Koh Raeng. Guide Daisy is among the named guides.

“Plus points for this activity are the free transfer to and from your accommodation and the sunset on the beach. We feel that this is where the positives end. We found that the guide was not engaging and difficult to follow; there were no safety instructions given before the snorkelling and very little information was given about what you were seeing. One of the guides encouraged us to remove our life jackets while on board the boat. This was reflective of a poor approach to safety throughout. The food was very disappointing. It was cold, bland and unpleasant to eat. On a personal note, I would like to thank the…”

“Unorganized company with bad tourguide. The guide who dod the excursion was a nightmare. He appeared stoned, was rude, loud, treated us like cattle. The comoany was 15 minutes late at the meeting spot, then let us sit in the hot sun for 15 more minutes, making us leave 10 minuted late. Then he was in a loud argument on his phone for a while, sitting in front of the longtailboat making all sorts of angry gestures. It was insane. The captain on the boat showed us different fish and sharks, he appeared to be more keen to do the tour. Ditch this company, threre are plenty others who offer…”
