Misleading Krabi 4 Islands Tour – Poorly Managed & Not Worth It
I booked the Day Tour from Phuket to 4 Islands in Krabi by Ferry & Speedboat through TripAdvisor/Viator (provided by Trip Store Krabi & operated by Ao Nang Travel & Tour), and unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the worst travel experiences I’ve had. The boats used by Ao Nang Travel & Tour are extremely old and broken, and the staff from Ao Nang Travel & Tour were rude, dismissive, and barely able to communicate in English. The actual travel time was nearly 5 hours, while sightseeing was only about 1.5 hours. Out of the four islands promised, two were only shown from the boat, and we actually set foot on just two islands. The stop taken by Ao Nang Travel & Tour at Chicken Island for lunch was particularly disappointing. The arrangements were made at a single small hut-like restaurant with no water to wash hands, foul-smelling toilets in terrible condition, and a very rude staff member. Lunch consisted of only 2–3 items in limited quantity, and even the speedboat didn’t carry enough drinking water for all passengers. That's only hotel available and the only option you have in this case. We started at 8:15 AM from Phuket in a van, reached the pier, and then transferred to Ao Nang before heading to the islands. By 2:00 PM, the tour was essentially over, with most of the time wasted in transit rather than sightseeing. This tour is misleading and poorly managed. They should either stop running it altogether or redesign it to include proper visits to all four islands and include some more spots for sight seeing, better food arrangements at decent hotels (like those near Phang Nga Caves offered by other operators), and replace the broken boats with safer ones. The responsibility for this disappointing experience lies squarely with Ao Nang Travel & Tour, the operator of the tour. TripAdvisor, Viator, and Trip Store Krabi should take immediate action to replace this vendor with a more reliable partner, redesign the itinerary to include genuine visits to all four islands with proper facilities, and only then continue offering it. Otherwise, the tour should be discontinued altogether.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, particularly regarding the long travel time, limited island visits, boat condition, and the quality of service and facilities provided. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and frustration caused. Your feedback is extremely important to us, and we have shared your comments with the operator for immediate review and necessary improvements, especially concerning safety, staff service, itinerary clarity, and meal arrangements. We understand how disappointing this must have been and deeply regret that we were unable to deliver the experience promised. Your insights will help us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Waste of a day
Terrible from start to finish, 1) only did 2 island due to weather conditions, no snoring due to weather condition, total waste of my time , food was passable, transport home was an absolute nightmare, 3 couples coming from Krabi to stay in new hotels in Patong , obviously i was last off 😡, got back to my accommodation at 7.20 pm , waste of day , would not recommend as this seems to happen a lot , easy money for the agent
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. On the day of your trip, weather conditions required us to adjust the itinerary for safety, including visiting fewer islands and canceling snorkeling. Please note that the return transfer is a shared service, so drop-off times depend on hotel locations and traffic. We appreciate your understanding that weather and traffic are factors beyond our control.

A fun adventure around...
A fun adventure around the beautiful islands of Krabi, with some of the most breathtaking beaches and scenery around.

It was good, expensive compare to Phi Phi but the journey is long and in big boat could be the reason for the high price
Hotel pickup by Van and dropped at Pier. From Pier in Phuket in big A/c boat travelled to Krabi for around ~ 2 Hours. From there another speed boat took us to Poda Island and we were allowed to spend time in island for an hour (activities). Then they took us to chiken island where we were offered lunch (Not a great one but with very limited items). Post lunch we were there allowed for 30 to 40 minutes and then a 5 min drive to last island were we were allowed for 30 to 40 minutes and we did snorkeling. Then return another 2 hours drive and dropped at Phuket Pier and Hotel Drop by Van

Day Tour from Phuket to 4 Islands in Krabi by Ferry & Speedboat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Day Tour from Phuket to 4 Islands in Krabi by Ferry & Speedboat cost?
+
Prices start at $67 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Tour from Phuket to 4 Islands in Krabi by Ferry & Speedboat take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.
Is Day Tour from Phuket to 4 Islands in Krabi by Ferry & Speedboat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Tour from Phuket to 4 Islands in Krabi by Ferry & Speedboat?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day Tour from Phuket to 4 Islands in Krabi by Ferry & Speedboat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Tour from Phuket to 4 Islands in Krabi by Ferry & Speedboat?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Tour from Phuket to 4 Islands in Krabi by Ferry & Speedboat start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phuket?
+
On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phuket Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour Option. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phuket?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phuket?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
