About Poda Island
Poda Island (Koh Poda) is the kind of beach that ends up on Krabi postcards — a wide arc of soft white sand, water that shades from clear to turquoise, and a single limestone tower offshore. The shallow, gentle sea makes it one of the most family-friendly islands near Ao Nang.
Most 4 Islands tours include Poda, but on a private trip you can linger here longer, snorkel the near-shore reef and take in the famous view across to Chicken Island (Koh Gai) without rushing on to the next stop.
Highlights
- Wide white-sand beach with shallow, calm water
- Easy near-shore snorkelling
- Iconic view of Chicken Island (Koh Gai)
- A key stop on the 4 Islands circuit
How we do this tour
We arrange this as a private trip from Ao Nang on a longtail boat, speedboat or our private catamaran — whichever suits your group, budget and the sea conditions. Your itinerary and timing are built around you, not a fixed group schedule.
Pricing: We quote authentic local prices based on your group size, the boat you choose and the season. Optional extras (private chef, romantic set-up, extra stops) are quoted on request — no inflated tourist mark-ups.

What our island-tour guests say
Lovely houses that were perfect for us as a family! We really appreciated the hosts, who were welcoming and helpful with everything. And the place was in the middle of nature and offered a view of the Buddha! We loved both the accommodation and the pool.
Magnificent villa and the hosts are really friendly too. I recommend it to everyone.
A wonderful stay. The best villa for a family of 10 people. Spacious, clean, with top-quality service provided from start to finish. The owner and co-owner were absolutely fantastic — any issue was resolved immediately. If I had another family celebration, this is the place I'd go. Thank you.
Very satisfied with our stay in this villa. The host was very communicative and helpful. I highly recommend this villa to anyone thinking of staying here. Thank you so much.
