How long is the Krabi 4-island longtail tour?+
About 5.5 to 7 hours depending on the operator, usually leaving mid-morning from Nopparat Thara or Aonang Orchid pier in Ao Nang and returning mid-afternoon. Longtail versions run a little longer than speedboat versions because of the slower cruising speed.
Longtail or speedboat for the 4-island tour?+
Both are offered and the shared prices overlap. Choose the longtail for atmosphere and shallow beach landings, the speedboat if you want less time in transit. See our full longtail vs speedboat comparison for the trade-offs.
