Tour Overview
Krabi and Southern Thailand — a carefully designed island-hopping route.
This journey is not built around a single destination, but around exploring multiple islands of Southern Thailand through a carefully designed island-hopping route.
Krabi and Ao Nang serve as the starting point with easy access and diverse programs, Koh Yao Yai offers a quieter and less crowded island atmosphere, while Koh Lanta provides a more relaxed setting for longer stays.
Along the way, we visit locations such as Koh Kradan and the Phi Phi Islands, where lagoons, hidden bays and unique coastal landscapes define the experience.

Day-by-Day Itinerary
Your complete 17-day Southern Thailand island-hopping program, from arrival to departure
Arrival in Krabi or Phuket
Arrival in Thailand at Krabi or Phuket airport, followed by a private transfer to your hotel near Ao Nang Beach. After the journey, this day is intentionally kept light — time to settle in, adjust to the tropical climate and ease into the slower rhythm of Southern Thailand.
Island Lunch Experience & Free Afternoon
We begin the journey with a shared lunch at a unique island restaurant accessible only by boat. Surrounded by limestone cliffs and open sea views, this first experience immediately sets the tone for the days ahead. The afternoon is free to enjoy Ao Nang at your own pace — beach time, a Thai massage, or exploring local markets and cafés along the coast.
Private 7 Islands Boat Tour with Sunset Dinner
One of the defining experiences of the trip. We set out on a private boat to explore the Krabi islands, stopping at locations such as Railay Beach, known for its dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise waters. Throughout the day, there are multiple opportunities for swimming and snorkeling in clear, shallow waters. The experience builds toward sunset, when we enjoy a picnic dinner on Poda Island. If conditions allow, the evening may end with the rare experience of swimming among bioluminescent plankton.
Dinner included.
Free Day or Tiger Cave Temple
A flexible day to recharge after the previous day's boat experience. For those interested in a different perspective of Thailand, an optional visit to Tiger Cave Temple offers a more cultural and spiritual contrast to the coastal scenery. Climbing the staircase to the viewpoint rewards you with panoramic views across Krabi and the surrounding islands.
Optional excursion.
Hong Islands & Transfer to Koh Yao Yai
We leave Ao Nang by boat and head toward Koh Yao Yai, with a stop at the Hong Islands along the way. This area is known for its hidden lagoons, calm waters and viewpoints overlooking the Andaman Sea. The journey itself becomes a full experience rather than just a transfer. After arriving on Koh Yao Yai, we settle into a quieter and less developed island environment.
Koh Yao Yai: Relaxed Island Day
Koh Yao Yai offers a noticeably slower and more authentic atmosphere compared to the more developed beach destinations. This day is intentionally open: long stretches of quiet beach, shallow waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling, and the chance to experience the island without a fixed schedule.
Koh Yao Yai or Optional Phi Phi & Maya Bay
This day can be shaped according to your preference. You may choose to stay on Koh Yao Yai and continue enjoying its calm, uncrowded environment. Alternatively, an optional excursion takes you to the Phi Phi Islands and Maya Bay — one of the most iconic lagoon landscapes in Thailand, known for its enclosed bay, towering cliffs and crystal-clear water.
Optional excursion.
Koh Yao Yai Beach & Sandbank Exploration
A full day to slow down and experience the Koh Yao Yai island more deeply. During low tide, sandbanks emerge along the coast, creating unique walking and photography opportunities. The rest of the day can be spent swimming, relaxing or exploring local spots across the island.
Transfer to Koh Lanta
We continue our journey by boat to Koh Lanta, an island known for its balance between comfort and a more laid-back atmosphere. Compared to previous stops, Koh Lanta feels more spacious and settled, making it ideal for a longer stay and a more relaxed rhythm.
Koh Lanta & Optional Mangrove Kayaking
A free day to explore Koh Lanta at your own pace — beaches, cafés, viewpoints or simply relaxing by the sea. An optional mangrove kayaking experience offers a quieter, nature-focused alternative to the open-sea boat trips, navigating through narrow waterways surrounded by dense vegetation.
Optional excursion.
Koh Lanta or Optional Koh Muk & Emerald Cave
For those looking for a unique coastal experience, an optional trip leads to Koh Muk and the Emerald Cave. This hidden lagoon is accessed by swimming through a cave passage, opening into a secluded natural chamber surrounded by high cliffs — one of the most distinctive locations in Southern Thailand. Alternatively, the day can be spent relaxing on Koh Lanta.
Optional excursion.
Koh Kradan Island Experience
This day is often the highlight of the journey. We travel by boat to Koh Kradan, widely recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The island is known for its exceptionally clear water, bright white sand and peaceful setting. The shallow reef close to shore makes it one of the best locations for snorkeling in Thailand. The focus of the day is simple: swim, explore and experience one of the most pristine island environments in the region.
Free Day on Koh Lanta
A full day to enjoy Koh Lanta without a fixed program. After several active days, this is the moment to slow down — whether that means spending time on the beach, exploring the island further or simply relaxing in your surroundings.
Return to Ao Nang
We return to Ao Nang Beach by boat and transfer, where the afternoon and evening are free. This is a comfortable transition back to a more familiar setting, allowing you to close the island-hopping part of the journey at your own pace.
Free Day or Similan Islands
You may choose to relax in Ao Nang or join an optional trip to the Similan Islands. This marine national park is known for its white sand beaches, rock formations and vibrant underwater life — one of the best places for snorkeling in Thailand.
Optional excursion.
Free Day & Optional Local Village Visit
A relaxed final full day. An optional tuk-tuk visit to a local village offers insight into everyday life beyond the coastal resorts, providing a different perspective before departure.
Optional excursion.
Departure
Transfer to the airport and departure. By the end of the journey, you will have experienced multiple islands, distinct landscapes and a carefully balanced route through Southern Thailand's Andaman region.
Complimentary Boat Experiences Included
Private 7 Islands tour, Hong Islands exploration, and scenic boat transfers between islands — all already built into your package at no extra cost.
