Itinerary

Poda Island

one hour Admission not included

Poda Island is a postcard-perfect spot with soft white sand, turquoise waters, and a dramatic limestone islet offshore. In the early morning light, the beach glows with golden hues—making it an unforgettable place to relax or swim. Depending on sea conditions, you may even witness the sunrise here or at another island along the route. Either way, the quiet serenity of dawn adds magic to this tropical escape.
Chicken Island

40 min Admission not included

Chicken Island

Named after its famous rock formation shaped like a chicken’s head, Chicken Island offers a unique photo opportunity from the boat. Its crystal-clear waters are ideal for a refreshing swim or light snorkeling nearby. While we don’t go ashore here, the view—especially in the soft glow of early morning—makes it a memorable stop. Depending on sea conditions, this could also be one of the places to witness a beautiful sunrise at sea.
Tup Island

50 min Admission not included

Tup island (Talay Waek)

One of Krabi’s most iconic wonders, Talay Waek reveals a hidden sandbar that connects three islands—Chicken, Tup, and Mor—at low tide. This natural phenomenon is best seen early in the morning, when the light is soft and the crowds are few. Walking across the sandbar feels like walking on water. Depending on tide and weather conditions, this stop may offer a peaceful moment to enjoy the sunrise or simply soak in the magic of the Andaman Sea.
Railay Beach

one hour

Railay

Surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and accessible only by boat, Railay feels like a hidden paradise. The early morning here is tranquil, with soft golden light washing over the dramatic landscape. Guests can enjoy a peaceful beach walk or explore the famous Phra Nang Cave, just a short stroll away. This sacred site is known for its local legends and striking views of the sea. Though technically part of the mainland, Railay’s remote vibe makes it a favorite stop. Depending on the day’s conditions, it may even be the perfect place to catch the first light of sunrise glistening off the cliffs and calm waters.
