Highlights
  • Ko Phi Phi Lee - Explore the splendor of the Phi Phi Islands with this comprehensive full-day snorkeling excursion. Easily make your way to the rendezvous point at Andaman Beach Resort before setting off for the bay, where your classic Longtail boat awaits.

Bamboo Island is the perfect spot for unwinding on its pristine white sand beaches and engaging in snorkeling amidst a multitude of vibrant fish in the transparent sea, rich with coral. Take a leisurely walk around the island to fully enjoy its tranquility.

Nui Beach is nestled in a small inlet on the southern side of Lana Bay on Koh Phi Phi Don’s western coast. Surrounded by towering limestone cliffs that provide prime rock climbing spots, it’s a favorite among those passionate about snorkeling. Several limestone formations, including the iconic Camel Rock, emerge from the water near the beach, enhancing its picturesque quality. At Viking Cave, visitors can observe the harvesting of swallow nests, swim in the ocean, snorkel over the coral reefs, and see various fish species.

Shark Point is one of Koh Phi Phi’s most renowned and frequented dive locations. It is arguably the best place to observe numerous Leopard Sharks in their natural habitat, often found resting or sleeping.

Beautiful - This was great! We went to 2 spots for snorkeling, a spot for lunch/shopping, and 2 spots for sight seeing. Even with a bit of rain at the beginning of the trip it was still fabulous.

Very fun experience especially the snorkelling - The snorkelling was definitely a highlight of this trip the reef was absolutely beautiful so many fish and even saw a black tip reef shark it was absolutely beautiful I really recommend going snorkelling while in phi phi islands. The longboat ride itself was really fun, a little bumpy when waves hit but very fun experience and nothing to worry about. Maya bay is beautiful but swimming is prohibited in the bay which unfortunately I didn’t realise beforehand, really crowded but a nice spot for photos only since you can’t go into the water so prepare for that. Water and fruit is provided for the half day tour that we took.

Wonderful tour! - Amazing experience! All the spots are beautiful and the value is extremely good for a 9hour tour. The only downside I find is Monkey beach. I don't think people should be allowed to walk there and feed the monkeys. They are quite aggressive and even bit one of the ladies in our boat while she was just walking over there. The guide tour cleaned the bite and joked but didn't alert her regarding the possibility of rabies transmission and it's consequences. Please be aware that immediate medical assistance is required if this happens to you and that you definitely should get the 4 dosis vaccine!

Great experience, nice... - Great experience, nice spots to visit, yoi can see a lot of fish and sharks (we saw bigger reef shark at shark point and baby reef sharks at bamboo beach and at maya bay) we would recommend half day tour and split the destinations. Full day tour was too long and exhausting.

Book on the spot! - The experience is totally worth it, but first book it on the spot as through this website I paid exactly double! There is always availability, and take food with you as breakfast is a slice of white bread and lunch is a little container of literally white rice with a few pieces of veggies. So if you relay on them …all day out in the water you will starve. Again do not book through Viator! There this tour costs 600 baht

Only one snorkeling opportunity - false advertising - It was advertised as a snorkeling trip but there was only one snorkeling opportunity out of 4 stops. Using the steps into the boat from deep water was a nightmare as they only were at chest height so getting one’s feet on the bottom step was very difficult. Some boats had extension ladders which were a minimum requirement and some operators had thoughtfully covered the metal rungs with cloth to make it more comfortable. Our operators i found abrupt to the point of rudeness. They rushed us off the pier at the beginning only to have us sitting in the heat for more than 20 minutes before the boat was ready. Not recommended.
