2.Phi Phi & 4 Islands Sunset Tour by Speedboat

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,902 reviews · 8h 30m · from $66

Krabi speedboat tour to Phi Phi, Bamboo, Pileh Lagoon and Maya Bay, then Tup or Poda sunset. Snorkel, swim, and eat.

“This trip encapsulates one of the main reasons why we go to Thailand - the islands. Our small group soon got to be friends during the day of visiting these amazing islands. If you are lucky enough to get to Maya Bay when it is not too crowded it will take your breath away. Ko Phi Phi Don were busier than I imagined and the lagoon was stunning. Monkey Island is beautiful but beware as we did witness the monkeys stealing from the peoples canoes. Tup/Poda Island have to be one of the best places ever to watch the sunset, you will not be disappointed. Our guide and the crew…”

Enough time for each activity, we weren't rushed anywhere. Few snorkeling places made even more exciting. I definitely recommend it.”

4.4 Islands Tour by Longtail Boat & Thai Buffet Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,038 reviews · 6h 30m · from $34

Krabi 4 islands by longtail boat with snorkeling, sandbar walks, and a Thai beach buffet. Pickup in Ao Nang, smooth day out.

“The tour was great, guide had a great energy and was very friendly. Also I tried snorkeling for the first time and it was a fantastic experience! It's good to note that, going to 4 islands in such a short time means that the stops are usually 15-60mins. Always depending on the high/low tide. Only lunch brake was longer. The constant getting on and off the boat felt a bit exhausting in the end. However, overall we had a great experience.”

We also love a relaxing buffet lunch on the beach. our group had a little trouble with timing and high tide and didn’t get to walk across the sandbar but that doesn’t really bother me after a full day of good experiences.”

12.4 Islands Snorkeling Tour by Longtail Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 297 reviews · 6 hours · from $31

Four islands by longtail boat near Ko Lanta, clear snorkels, a Morakot Emerald Cave swim, and a beach buffet lunch at Koh Ngai.

“The emerald cave was stunning however to enter you basically jump into the sea(which was quite rough on our day!) then you follow the guide by basically bobbing/swimming into the dark cave they have flash lights and then you appear in this magical area. There were a few big boats at the same time as us so it was a bit chaotic trying to keep an eye on where your guide was!! If you are not a confident swimmer then I wouldn’t recommend. The snorkelling spots were ok but very cloudy. A lot of long tail boats at the same time. You do all your snorkelling and swimming first then…”

15.Emerald Cave & 4 Islands Snorkel Tour by Longtail

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 95 reviews · from $28

Longtail tour from Koh Lanta to Emerald Cave and 4 islands, with hotel pickup, snorkel gear, beach lunch, and a lagoon swim.

“A good day out. Unfortunately the Emerald Cave which promised to be the highlight (based on others' reviews) was packed full of school trips and other tourists; which the tour company cannot control so is not their fault. When entering and exiting the cave there was so many people swimming through that you were constantly being kicked and at risk of being pushed under as rude individuals did what they wanted, rather than wait patiently - feeding this back just to help prepare other tourists for what to expect. The first snorkel spot was perfect; very clear water, saw lots of fish and not many people. The second spot; the…”
