- Ko Phi Phi Le - Snorkel on the east side of Phi Phi Leh on coral reefs with crystal-clear waters and discover the exquisite corals.
- Viking Cave - Then slowly past Viking Cave to see where the Phi Phi birds nest soup are harvested.
- Maya Bay - Here you can touch the white sand and dangle your feet into the turquoise water. You will have approximately 50 minutes to enjoy on one of the most stunning locations in Thailand, and if you lucky you can witness black tip reef sharks swimming in the shallows.
Notable rules at Maya Bay include no swimming, no single-use plastics, using reef-safe sunscreen and no use of drones without permission. Please remember that the Mu Koh Phi Phi Marine Park will be closed every year for 2 months during low season.
- Monkey Beach - As we cruise onward, get ready to be dazzled by Monkey Beach. This 150-meter gem, nestled on the southwestern shore of Tonsai Bay, boasts powdery white sand lapped by emerald waters. Lush vegetation climbs the cliffs behind the beach, creating a haven for a colony of monkeys. Keep your eyes peeled – at low tide, you might spot them playfully foraging for breakfast right on the shore. While we won’t be stopping at the beach itself, this glimpse of paradise is sure to be a highlight.

It is covered by lush vegetation and entirely surrounded by a strip of white sand and a reef that spreads up to 500 m from the shore. The uninhabited paradise location 5 km off the northern tip of Koh Phi Phi Don provides its masked and finned visitors with the feeling of swimming in an aquarium.
- Ko Phi Phi Don - Enjoy a rich Thai style lunch in Phi Phi Arida restaurant on Phi Phi Don. Please let us know your meal preferences in advance.

- While the monsoon season (roughly May to October) brings increased jellyfish sightings due to water movement, these graceful creatures can appear year-round in the Andaman Sea. To ensure a safe and enjoyable swim, consider asking your tour guide
- While Monkey Beach isn’t a direct stop, you can still observe the monkeys when the tide is low
- Ensuring your safety is our top priority. To that end, we strongly recommend wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkeling.

Private is the way to go! - Phi phi islands were very beautiful! They were very crowded, but the private speed boat allowed for us to go at our own pace where everyone else appeared to herded on and off the boats quickly. Amazing snorkeling and great treatment from the tour guide and boat crew!

Perfect Day! - I highly recommend this tour! Opting for a private tour is definitely worth it, as it allows you to customize the experience to match your preferences. We especially enjoyed exploring the quieter islands and snorkeling away from the crowded areas. The boat exceeded our expectations—spacious, well-maintained, and comfortable. The crew, consisting of Gina (tour guide), Bao (captain), and Bee (first mate), were absolutely fantastic! They went above and beyond to ensure a great experience. The tour also includes snorkeling gear, water, soda, snacks, and fresh fruit, making it a truly enjoyable adventure.

Perfect day - The tour guides were amazing!! So fun taking great pictures of us along the way. Private tour is 10000 percent the way to go. We saw and did so much more than we would have done with a bigger group and it was way more enjoyable. Definitely recommend this tour.

Highlight of our trip to Thailand - Our tour was amazing and the day was really the highlight of our month in Thailand. I can't recommend Sea Eagle Tours enough.
We were picked up from our hotel in the morning and brought to the pier where we met with a tour representative. The whole handover was very smooth and the level of organisation continued throughout the day. The boat was large for our group of 5 but having a private boat was amazing as we could take each destination at our own pace.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us great photo tips and took candid photos of us throughout the day. We also felt very safe on the tour despite some fairly choppy weather due to it being rainy season. Our personal favourite stop was swimming in Pileh Lagoon. The included lunch buffet was excellent and we were even given wristbands so we could visit the nearby toilet for free. The whole day was well planned and well-executed and all the stops were stunning. They also had snorkels on board.
Drinks such as water, Coke and juice were provided throughout the day and fresh fruit was provided at the end of the day before we returned to Krabi. Overall we thought the trip was great value and really worth every penny.

Worth the extra - Definitely worth paying for a private trip. This made the journeys between all the stops much more enjoyable. And we could choose how long to spend in each place. This was especially nice at the swim stops

Wonderful experience - The trip was very well organised. They picked us up from the hotel as planned. We were glad to have booked the speedboat as that was much quicker compared to the long tail boats. The tour guide was very friendly. We would book more tours with the agency

Take a private boat if you can - Taking a private boat was worth it. It allows you to enjoy the ride, the islands and customize your trip. Most of the islands are a tourist trap, so you really want to visit and leave the islands. So having a boat that can do what you want, snorkel, stop here, there, is the only way to enjoy this area.

Overpriced and Disorganized: Disappointing Experience Despite Friendly Boat Crew - Our trip from Krabi to Phi Phi Island didn’t live up to expectations. The experience was soured right from the start by our driver, who was more focused on getting tips than providing a welcoming service. Before we even got into the car, he rudely rushed me while I was waiting in the lobby for the rest of my group of four to congregate. Even though it was a private tour with no other participants, his impatience was unnecessary. To top it off, the moment we stepped into the car—before we even had a chance to sit down—he immediately asked for a tip. This behavior set a negative tone for the day.
On the plus side, the staff on the speedboat were friendly and attentive, and the support lines were quite responsive and tried to help with any issues we encountered. Unfortunately, the overall experience still fell short.
Lunch was disorganized and chaotic. Although there was a decent variety of food, the atmosphere felt more like a fish market than a restaurant. The lack of any system or order made it stressful and far from the relaxing meal we had hoped for.
Considering we paid $150 per ticket, the amenities didn’t meet expectations. There were no towels or waterproof bags provided, which seemed like basic necessities for this kind of trip.
While the boat crew and the support team’s attentiveness were bright spots, the overall experience didn’t justify the high cost. If you’re considering a similar tour, I’d recommend looking into other options that provide better value and a more organized experience.
