Why tour the 7 islands at sunset
This is the best value for money of the Krabi tours: you combine the 4 main islands + Phra Nang + sunset + plankton in half a day, for 1,100 THB. Impossible to beat.
Our advice
Choose this tour if you only have one afternoon in Krabi. Otherwise, combine it with another morning (Emerald Pool or Elephant Sanctuary) for a big day.
Tip: Bring a headlamp or your phone with a light, plankton are best seen in total darkness.

Before you go
Good to know
Prone to seasickness?
Take a tablet ~30 min before departure, sit mid-boat, keep your eyes on the horizon and avoid heading out on an empty stomach.
Beat the crowds
Iconic spots like Maya Bay are far calmer early in the day. Our morning departures get you there before the midday ferry rush.
National park fees
Some sites sit inside a national park, so an entrance fee may apply. Check the “Not included” list above so there are no surprises.
Sun & reef care
The tropical sun is strong, bring a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water. Reef-safe sunscreen is required in Thai marine parks.
What to pack
Swimwear under your clothes, a towel, a dry bag for your phone, and a change of clothes for the trip back.
