Four Island Tours Join by speedboat is the easiest and cheapest way to take you to paradise by the sea and a range of fun activities.

• What to bring: Camera Swimming gear and / or change of clothes Appropriate footwear (e.g. rubber flip flops or Crocs) Adequate sun protection (cream, glasses hat) Beach towel Splashproof or waterproof bag Your own snacks (if required) Infant and young children’s flotation vests (if required)
• Speedboat seating tips: the very front of the boat has the only open air seating, and the only place you will get a decent view; but it is also by far the most bumpy part of the boat. For fewer unpleasant thumps, sit at the rear of the boat. Never choose to sit in the middle section of a large speedboat; you will see virtually nothing at all. The side benches give you the option of kneeling up and looking out, not the most comfortable, but better than nothing).
• Note that crowds on the beach when you arrive are not the same as crowds on the boat: you should not accept the latter under any circumstances.
• The best tip then, to enjoy your island tour in Krabi, is to revise your expectations: tourist brochures peddling the fantasy of a deserted island are responsible for a lot of the disappointment – nobody would bat an eyelid to find other famous places such as the Eiffel Tower, or the Taj Mahal heaving with people. And it is always still possible – by swimming a little further away, or by snapping your pictures at a certain angle – to block out the background hordes and enjoy the view.
