Highlights
  • Phuket Boat Lagoon Marina - Phukets only 5 star marina. Marvel at the beautiful yachts as we embark on our adventure into the Andaman sea.
  • Maya Bay - Phi Phi Island Tour’s first glimpse of magic - Maya Bay

Phi Phi Maya Bay has been a “must sightseeing location” for hordes of Thailand tourists for decades and as such, has suffered from its overuse. Thankfully the National Park prohibited from 2018 to the end of 2021, any boat from dropping anchor in the bay and alighting at the beach, to allow the gorgeous coral island treasures, wildlife and environment time to recover. You will be one of the first boats to arrive and this awe inspiring bay to enjoy placing the first footprints of the day into it’s fine white sand.

  • Pileh Bay - The tour’s emerald crown, Pileh Lagoon - Tide Dependent

Our next port of call on our sunrise tour, if tide allows, is Pileh Lagoon before the crowds arrive. It is a spectacular emerald green lagoon surrounded by high limestone cliffs on 3 sides, one of the world’s most gorgeous natural swimming pools. Grab your action camera and film or take a photo of the extremely spectacular view of the emerald waters merging with the caves and the blue clear horizon.

  • Monkey Beach - Phi Phi Islands have their secrets - Macaque Monkeys and the Viking Cave

During the tour, we will stop by one of the local beaches for a viewing of the monkey troops. For our own safety, we stay on the boat whilst viewing these cute Long-tailed Macaques on the monkey beach. For animal lovers, this is one of the most featured moments of the tour!

The Viking Cave is home to the special Birds’ Nests used to make Birds Nest Soup. It is not possible to enter this enormous cave but we will show you from the outside and you can witness the armed guards guarding the birds’ nests from looters!

  • Viking Cave - Experience the Phi Phi Islands from underwater - 1st Snorkeling Stop

It is now time to explore the magical underwater world with some swimming and snorkeling during our speedboat tour.

We supply all your snorkeling equipment including fins and flotation aids such as life jackets and swim noodles. The staff are always there (in and out of the water) ready to help any first timers with encouragement, advice and sometimes just a helping hand throughout the day tour.

In around Phi Phi waters, we are regularly visited by Whale Sharks, Dolphins, Whales and Reef Sharks. If you’re lucky we may see these on tour!

  • Nui Beach - Islands and Crystal Waters - 2nd Snorkeling Stop

It’s time to say hello to the fishes again with another snorkeling stop on our Phi Phi Island Tour.

  • Ko Rang Yai - Tours demand relaxation time - Bamboo Beach or Koh Rang Yai

Our  penultimate stop on your Phi Phi Islands tour is selected dependant on the conditions of the day and our crew choose between one of two idyllic  tropical islands. Bamboo Island or Koh Rang Yai. Here, you can swim, bathe, relax and take in the sights. Both are true paradise islands with crystal clear waters, picturesque palm trees, and soft white sand.

Take your time to enjoy the island’s beauty at one of the most stunning beaches in the world and end your day the right way.

  • Soho Pool Club - Finish your trip to Phi Phi with a well-deserved lunch at our popular pool club restaurant. Many travelers have enjoyed the scrumptious thai-style lunch with all the local flavours of the island.

You’ll have the opportunity to enhance your culinary palette in one of the most beautiful pool club settings imaginable and will provide all the nourishment you need after a long day undertaking sea activities.

The early wake up is worth it to beat the crowds ! - Despite a very early pick up time - this was so worthwhile to get to maya bay early before the crowds. The small group size capped was handy too meaning you didn’t have to wait for your entire group to return back etc . Super helpful and professional staff- would def recommend

Excellent way to see phi phi island away from the crowds - From the pick up to the time we depart from the base station and from each of the destination were on time. No time is wasted. Momo our guide was funny and very knowledgeable. The secondary boat guide was also excellent. The quality of the snorkeling gears was top notch. I just wish that the speed of the speed boat should be reduce a bit. it is an experience though to ride in a speed boat.

Great tour! - I highly recommend this tour! The trip ran extremely smooth and gave us plenty of time at each location. We were picked up from our hotel in Patong beach at 5am and from there were taken to the pool club where we took a boat to maya bay. The sunrise during the boat ride was beautiful and one of the reasons why it was worth it to wake up so early for this tour. The bay was almost empty since we got there early, which allowed us to enjoy it even more. We had plenty of time to relax and take pictures before we moved on to two different snorkeling locations with amazing coral and fish. Finally, we ended the trip with a stop at a beach to just relax. The crew took care of everything we needed and offered us food and drinks. If you’re looking for a trip to the phi phi islands this is it!

Incredible itinerary, well-organised, highly recommended! - A well organised tour that starts early in the morning, but don't let that put you off. We saw the sunrise over the beautiful landscape of the many islands that dot the bay as we jet-boated to our first destination, Maya Bay. There were few others when we arrived so we almost had the place to ourselves where we were served a traditional Phuket breakfast of glutinous rice parcels sweetened with coconut and palm sugar, and another with custard. What a treat! This was followed by a swimming stop at a cove nearby, a snorkelling stop, a quick stop at Monkey Bay to observe the wild monkeys from the boat, a second and final snorkelling stop at a secluded cove where we were able to come onto to the beach to see even more wild monkeys without the crowd of Monkey Bay. What a surprise! Our final stop was Rawai Beach to relax and swim. Again, we pretty much had the beach to our group. The tour staff were fun, friendly and looked after our safety. This was such a memorable day tour and would highly recommend it to others.

Looking forward for another trip - To start with, booking of this trip was very easy with all the needed information available upfront and the email communications leading to the trips were timely and very helpful. We did not have to worry about missing anything. The pickup from out hotel was on time and start of the trip was also right on time. Quicky breakie before the start was very helpful for early starters. Crew on board were very engaging, entertaining and helpful. Places were amazing and ride itself was thrilling. Opportunities to swim, snorkel, relax in the beach were dramatic. Meals (Breakfast @ Maya Bay) and Lunch (on return) were delicious. Clear instructions before every stop were very helpful in setting the right expectations.

A great experience highly recommend - I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It was packed with a bunch of different activities. We got to see sharks at Maya bay, see monkeys at monkey beach, and we got to swim and snorkle in 3 different places. Then we got to hang out and swim at a beach that was super relaxing. We saw a variety of different fish while snorkeling including sharks. They picked us up from our hotel, gave us breakfast on arrival, and then some more when we got to Maya bay, they gave us fruits and snacks in between and then a delicious lunch when we got back to the main land. Harry our guide had a wealth of knowledge and showed us different things we would’ve missed other wise. The ride was bumpy in some parts, but that was expected in the ocean.

Beautiful water and Phi Phi island. Energetic guides. Small group boat tour - The trip to Phi Phi island. The fruit and other snack offered on the boat. Our guide Moi Moi was very enthusiastic. Loquacious! But enthusiastic. The captain and the lifeguard were quiet but professional and helpful. The lifeguard assisted two individuals that could not swim. We had about 13 people total in our tour which was a decent number. Moi Moi was attentive for those that were sea sick. The crew was respectful of the environment and cleaned up trash after eating appropriately. Boat is small-medium sized.
