What to expect
Discover the secret snorkel spots behind the “4 Islands” group in Krabi with a full-day trip on a traditional wooden boat by Krabi Nice Sea. Snorkel on the shallow coral reefs with colourful fish at Yawasam Island and swim through the passageway into the 30-meter lagoon in the centre of Talu Island. Continue to the southern part of Poda Island and relax at the secret beach of Buya without the crowds but with sugar soft, white sand.
Good to know
Start the off-the-beaten-path tour with a convenient pickup service directly from your hotel lobby in the late morning. Meet the lovely crew of Krabi Nice Sea at Nopparat Thara Pier in Ao Nang and board the traditional wooden boat which will bring you beyond the 4 Island group.
Escape reality and leave the crowds behind with a stop at Koh Yawasam, where hordes of visitors are replaced by serenity and relaxation. This secret island behind the “4 Islands” group in Krabi is the ideal snorkeling spot with a beautiful coral reef and colourful fish. Find your own Nemo in the very crystal clear seawater surrounded by beautiful rock formations jutting out of the sea.
Continue to Koh Talu, a small island with about 45 meters in height and with strange rock formations. Here you can swim through a small tunnel into Talu Cave during low tide. In the center is a 30-meter wide lagoon, the result of natural erosion for thousand of years. Talu Island is home to hundred of cave-dwelling swifts which build tiny white nests, the key ingredient in Birds’ Nest Soup.
Cruise further to the southern end of Koh Poda, where you can stroll along the small deserted Buya Beach and have a swim in crystal clear water with a variety of sea life. Enjoy a Thai style lunch directly at the sugar soft, white sand beach. This place is definitely less touristic than the famous beach in the north of the island where most visitors arrive.
Sail slowely back to Ao Nang across the Andaman Sea, sitting either in the center of the boat under a well protected sun roof or in the bow from where you have a great view to the passing by Railay peninsula.
