The engine sputters, the longtail’s propeller thumps, and the limestone cliffs of the Andaman rear up like a wall you’re about to circumnavigate. Within an hour from Ao Nang the boat slips into clear shallows where sandbars thread islands together and the sea pushes you toward snorkeling reefs.

The engine sputters, the longtail’s propeller thumps, and the limestone cliffs of the Andaman rear up like a wall you’re about to circumnavigate. Within an hour from Ao Nang the boat slips into clear shallows where sandbars thread islands together and the sea pushes you toward snorkeling reefs.
This classic circuit visits Tub (a low sandbank that connects small islets at low tide), Chicken Island—named for its distinctive rock—Poda Island, and the limestone-fringed peninsula that fronts Phra Nang and Pranang Cave. Geologically these karst towers are Late Jurassic to Cretaceous limestone shaped by chemical weathering and wave erosion over millions of years; culturally the cave at Pranang holds local belief and an offering shrine that reflects coastal fishing communities’ reverence for the sea.
Expect swims over coral gardens, brief beach time for sun and lunch on Poda, and a guided shore visit to Pranang’s shrine and climbing beaches. The tour runs about 6–7 hours, usually with hotel pickup from Ao Nang; shared boats commonly carry up to 30 people and include snorkeling gear, life jackets and a buffet lunch.
Practical guide: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a light long-sleeve for midday sun, and water shoes for slippery rock and reef access. Timing matters—tide and weather affect Tub Island’s sandbank and snorkeling visibility—so morning departures often mean calmer seas. If you have back or cardiovascular issues, consult your doctor; the boat ride is gentle but involves short rises and steps when boarding. Stay hydrated, respect reef life, and you'll leave with salt-stiff hair and a clear sense of why Krabi’s islands remain among Thailand’s most accessible marine encounters.
