Krabi 4-Islands Sunset BBQ Tour with Bioluminescent Plankton
This full-day tour takes you to five of Krabi's most spectacular islands by traditional longtail boat. You'll explore Tup, Mor, Chicken, Poda and Yawasom Islands plus Phranang Beach, combining snorkelling, swimming and sightseeing with a beachside BBQ dinner and the rare chance to swim with glowing plankton after dark.
The adventure starts with afternoon pickup from select Krabi beaches and towns. At Tup and Mor Islands, you can walk across the famous sandbar that connects them at low tide. Chicken Island offers excellent snorkelling around its distinctive rock formation, while Poda Island provides pristine white sand and crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming.
