Review Body: Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed the tour, from A to Z.
The booking process was smooth and I liked how we could communicate via WhatsApp with the tour operator to ask questions and get more details.
The long tail boat was exactly as advertised- beautifully decorated, luxurious and safe.
Our tour guide Daniel was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He charted a good course which gave us plenty of time in each location, where we saw awesome limestone formations and a beautiful sunset at the last island.
We particularly enjoyed a surprise picnic by the beach on one of the islands - food was delicious!

Review Body: The morning boat tour was a highlight of our time in Krabi. Chareef and Non, the guide and the captain, were so kind and set up our beach picnic lunch beautifully on Koh Poda. The food and fruit were delicious and the views were gorgeous. The boat was much quieter and much more comfortable that the usual long tail boat, and we had the whole boat to ourselves with plenty of privacy, as the captain and the guide were on a separate, closed off part of the boat. I highly recommend doing this boat tour!

Review Body: The upgraded long tail boats are super nice and comfortable. If you are looking to make your island hopping trip a bit more comfortable and memorable, would highly recommend to splurge for the nicer boats. The crew is also super nice and accompany you to the islands as well as set up a very cute picnic lunch on a small beach. I will note that these routes do get quite busy, but if you want to see the beautiful beaches and islands in South Thailand there's really no other way. Helps to go in shoulder season - October and early November is great!

Review Body: The experience we had was amazing. Wudy, Cpt. Johnny, and Fahath went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. Wudy helped us by taking amazing photos and videos and finding all of the amazing wildlife for us to see underwater. We were very lucky to be able to swim so closely with sharks! My wife and I had the best time and we highly recommend this tour with this team!

Review Body: From the moment we got on the luxe long boat I truly felt like I could relax and feel I was about to have a unique vacation experience. I loved how we had the boat to ourselves and were able to enjoy the day at our own pace. Our tour guide was really sweet and set up the most perfect picnic on the beach. This tour was a 10/10 experience.

Itinerary
Itinerary Day 1
Itinerary Summary: Railay Bay, Thale Waek, Chicken Island, Poda Island — island hopping & relaxing on the beach
Itinerary Description: Embark on an unforgettable journey with Railay Eco Tour's South Sea Cruise. Your adventure begins at Ao Nam Mao Pier, where you'll be warmly welcomed and guided through the check-in process by our attentive staff. Once settled, step aboard the boat and set forth on an exploration of the stunning Andaman Sea.
Our first destination is the awe-inspiring Railay Bay, a mere 10-minute boat ride from the pier. Here, towering cliffs, hidden caves adorned with mesmerizing stalactites and stalagmites, and crystalline waters await your discovery. Immerse yourself in the exotic scenery and capture joyful moments with your camera.
Continuing our voyage, we'll reach the enchanting Thale Waek. Depending on tidal conditions, we may make a brief stop at Poda Island. However, if the tides favor us, we'll head straight to Thale Waek for a captivating beach experience (remember to bring your Baht 200 per person for National Park fee). This beach, an official "Unseen Thailand" gem, offers a breathtaking spectacle that must be seen to be believed. Capture the magic with your lens and move on at your own pace.
Next, we'll venture to Chicken Island, a short 10-minute journey from Thale Waek. Named for its striking rock formations resembling a chicken's head, it's also a fantastic spot for diving enthusiasts. Whether you're a free diver or a snorkeler, this place is a paradise. For those who prefer to stay on board, ample opportunities for photography and relaxation abound. When you're ready, we'll continue on to the next exhilarating stop.
Our fourth stop is the idyllic Poda Island, where you'll have the chance to spread out on the white sandy beach for a luxurious picnic. Our attentive staff and captain will ensure you have everything you need for a perfect photoshoot. Indulge in the experience and create memories to last a lifetime.

The company began when local fishermen, who once relied on fishing to support their families, noticed an increase in tourists visiting Railay. To earn extra income, they started offering island tours to visitors. Over time, some transitioned into full-time tour guides and became successful entrepreneurs, improving their livelihoods and supporting their families.
As tourism in Krabi expanded, more waste began polluting the sea, causing harm to the environment. Remembering the importance of preserving nature, the organization took action by arranging clean-up activities for tourists and encouraging them to reduce plastic use. Through these efforts, they help protect the environment and conserve its natural resources.
