More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off Phuket's morning bustle into an open bow and the clean, cool slap of Andaman water. The boat cuts toward Krabi’s limestone fingers; cliffs rise abrupt and gray, gulls wheel, and the horizon tightens into a string of small islands. The engine's steady thrum becomes the day’s metronome as the captain sets a route for Chicken, Poda and Tup.

Check tide times
