Poda Island

Mu Koh Poda is a group of small limestone islands located within the Haad Noppharat Thara-Mu Koh Phi Phi National Park. Located about 30 minutes by longtail boat south west of Krabi’s main tourist area, Ao Nang. The Island is also known as Poda Island and is the largest of the four islands that make up the Poda Group of Islands.

The smaller islands in the group are called Koh Kai, Koh Mo and Koh Thap. Poda Island is a small island no more than a kilometre in diameter, fringed by clear clean waters, a white sandy beach and coral reefs and is a top spot for day trips from the nearby Ao Nang, Phra Nang and the Railay Beaches.

As Poda Island is one of Krabi’s main tourist attractions; it can get somewhat busy. More so during the high season when day trips and tour groups arrive for lunch after spending the morning island hopping and snorkelling around these beautiful offshore islands.

The best spot for swimming and snorkelling on Koh Poda is either at the northern tip of the Island in front of the towering limestone islet that sits just offshore or along the eastern facing beach. Other activities available at Poda Island include kayaking.
