Read the guide →How Krabi's islands differ
Krabi itself is on the mainland, but almost every classic "Krabi" photo — turquoise water framed by limestone cliffs — is actually taken on one of the islands scattered offshore. They range from a 15-minute longtail ride (the islands on the standard 4 Island Tour) to a genuine half-day journey (Koh Lanta, reachable by ferry or minivan). Not sure which to prioritise? Our island hopping comparison guide breaks down distance, crowd levels and what each is actually best for.
