Krabi's islands are close to Ao Nang, so the boat rides are short and most of the day is beach time. The 4 Islands tour visits Phra Nang Cave Beach at Railay, walks the sandbar between Tup and Chicken islands, snorkels a reef and has a picnic lunch on Poda; you are back at about 2:00 pm. The Hong Islands tour goes north to Pakbia, Lading and the lagoon of Hong Island, with lunch on the beach and a climb to the 360° viewpoint, back at about 3:30 pm. Below: what the price covers, who it suits and how it compares with the other ways to do it.
