Koh Kradan Tours & Transfers

Every bookable trip that reaches Kradan — compared honestly, priced and ready to book.

Koh Kradan is the white-sand jewel of the Trang 4-islands trip — the classic island-hopping day that also takes in the Emerald Cave on Koh Muk, the beaches of Koh Ngai and the reefs of Koh Chueak and Koh Waen.

To be honest about it: very few GetYourGuide products start on Koh Kradan itself. Most trips that include Kradan leave from Koh Lanta (an hour or more to the north) or from the Trang coast. If you are staying on Kradan, the private longtail from Kradan — or a boat arranged through your resort — is the easy way to see the other islands. Everything here is booked through GetYourGuide, with live availability and free cancellation on most options. Prices are indicative "from" amounts in euros; tap any card for the live price in your currency.

Booking questions

Frequently asked questions

Do all 4-islands tours stop on Koh Kradan?

No. Most do, but some routes swap Kradan for another beach, and some listings offer several options. Read the itinerary and choose the option that names Koh Kradan.

Longtail or speedboat?

Longtails are cheaper, slower and more atmospheric; speedboats cut the crossing time from Lanta and leave more time at the stops but bounce more in a swell. In calm, dry-season weather both are fine.

Are national park fees included?

Often not. The islands are within Hat Chao Mai National Park, and some operators collect the park fee separately in cash. Each listing says what is included.

Do tours run in the low season?

Some do, weather permitting, but between roughly May and October the sea can be rough, Emerald Cave may be inaccessible and trips are often cancelled. Plan the island day for the dry season if you can.

Can I cancel if the weather turns?

Most listings offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure, and operators normally refund or rebook if they cancel because of sea conditions.
