Join us for an unforgettable day on our early-bird departure to the Phi Phi Islands. The Phi Phi archipelago is best known for picturesque beaches, towering limestone cliffs that rise from the ocean, and vibrant coral reefs, all waiting for you to explore just a short speedboat trip away! The Phi Phi Islands are also infamous for overcrowded boat trips and beaches, so to avoid the crowds as best as we can, we pick you up before dawn at your hotel in the Khao Lak area, transfer you to our private departure lounge at the Royal Phuket Marina, where, capped at 32 guests, your speedboat to paradise awaits!
Serene Maya Bay and breathtaking Peleh Lagoon jumped into the global spotlight as filming locations for the Hollywood movie The Beach. We’ll take you to the island of Phi Phi Leh to visit these idyllic locations to capture perfect images with your phone or camera. After disembarking at Phi Phi Leh, a short walk through the forest brings you to the iconic beach at Maya Bay. Later, jump into the warm emerald waters of the astonishingly beautiful Pileh Lagoon!
Often, the best way to witness unobstructed panoramic vistas of islands and coastlines is from the deck of a boat. En route from Phi Phi Leh to Phi Phi Don, we’ll bring you sightseeing by boat to behold a piece of culture and history at Viking Cave, famous for its role in the Bird’s Nest Soup industry and the unique paintings within the cave. As we head north, we’ll take you to watch the playful and mischievous monkeys at Monkey Bay, best viewed from the safety of the boat.
The Phi Phi National Park is home to a plethora of marine life. During the tour, your experienced guide will choose the best location to jump in and snorkel amongst a vast array of colorful marine life foraging on the coral reefs, including lackadaisical sea turtles, a fan favorite of all ages. If you wish, bring your snorkeling equipment or use the equipment provided. For your safety and that of the marine life, be sure to look at, but not touch, the coral or marine animals while you’re in the water.
The island of Phi Phi Don is home to the village of Tonsai, where we will disembark to hike up to the world-famous panoramic viewpoint overlooking the island to capture a picture-perfect postcard moment for your Instagram page. If a short hike up to the viewpoint seems a little too strenuous, take a swim, relax on the beach, or explore the lively walking streets of charming Tonsai Village while your friendly guide leads the other passengers to the viewpoint.
By now, you will have likely worked up an appetite. After we depart Phi Phi Don, we will take you to the pristine white-sand beaches of Bamboo Island to dine on a scrumptious Thai lunch. After you finish eating, there is plenty of free time to relax, work on your tan, go for a swim, or snorkel the vibrant reefs around the island before boarding the speedboat for the return voyage back to the Royal Phuket Marina.
A visit to the breathtaking Phi Phi Islands should be on the bucket list for all who venture to the south of Thailand, and it usually is. Some people may wonder if one day is enough time to explore all that Phi Phi has to offer. That is why we have designed our itinerary to be like a highlight reel, taking you to the most sought-after destinations on and around the Phi Phi Islands in just one day. Join us for a day at one of the most breathtaking archipelagos on Earth!
🌿 Important Notice: Maya Bay Seasonal Closure
Dear Valued Guests,
We would like to inform you that Maya Bay will be closed from July 1 to August 31 for its annual environmental recovery period.
This temporary closure helps protect the fragile ecosystem and supports the long-term sustainability of this world-famous destination.
If you have tours booked during this period, our team will offer alternative routes and attractions so you can still enjoy an unforgettable experience.
Thank you for your understanding and for traveling with respect for nature. 🌊💙
We will pick you up between 4:00 and 4:30 AM, depending on the location of your hotel in Khao Lak. Yes, it is a very early start, but it is simply the best way to avoid the massive crowds that flock to the islands daily!
Coffee, tea, and a light breakfast await you after an approximately 90-minute transfer to our private departure lounge at The Royal Phuket Marina. Following breakfast, you will receive a short safety and tour briefing before departure. As the sun rises, embark on a short speedboat voyage to the Phi Phi Islands. The average transit time from the marina to the islands is around 45 minutes, depending on sea conditions. Some 27 marine mammal species live in Thai waters, so keep your eyes open on the way to the islands. You may see dolphins, false killer whales, pilot whales, or even one of the giants!
No Phi Phi Island adventure would be complete without a visit to world-renowned Maya Bay, made famous by the Leonardo Di Caprio movie The Beach. Disembark from the boat and follow a short nature trail to discover the iconic beach at Maya Bay, which undeniably ranks amongst the most beautiful vistas on Earth! After you capture the perfect picture, creating a memory that will last a lifetime, hop back aboard and cruise to another location on our itinerary.
Is this what Shangri La is supposed to look like? The producers of The Beach must have felt this way. Pileh Lagoon is one of the locations the filmmakers chose to captivate our hearts and open our minds to the possibility of a paradise on planet Earth. Plunge into the enchanting emerald waters at Pileh Lagoon, for what is truly a once-in-a-lifetime swim.
Sightseeing by boat, we will pass slowly by the historic Viking Cave. Best known for ancient wall paintings on the cavern walls and its current role in the swiftlet bird nest industry, this cave makes for a fascinating portrait of local culture and nature. The 400-year-old cave paintings, left by the crews of passing Chinese fishing vessels, are thought to resemble Viking ships, and why Viking Cave got its name.
At the aptly named Monkey Bay, you can view macaque monkeys in their natural habitat near the shoreline. Being wild animals, these mischievous acrobats are viewed best from the safety of our boat. Make sure that you have your camera on standby and ready to snap some shots of some of our closest relatives.
It is time to choose your adventure! Tonsai Bay is the beating heart of the Phi Phi Islands, so go ahead and use this time to do whatever pleases you. If you have been waiting to capture the iconic picture overlooking Tonsai Bay, join your guide on a 30 minute hike up to the iconic Phi Phi viewpoint! From atop this panoramic viewpoint, one begins to understand why this is heralded as one of the most spectacular photo opportunities in the nation if not the world! If hiking up to the viewpoint does not sound appealing, choose to walk around the village, check out the local shops, have a swim, or chill out on the beach.
Donne a mask, snorkel, and fins, and take the plunge! For many tourists visiting Thailand, exploring the tropical reefs is of paramount importance for them. A veritable plethora of fish, invertebrates, sea-faring mammals and reptiles are just waiting for you to spot within the Mu Ko Phi Phi National Marine Park. All of the colours of the rainbow are awaiting you beneath the surface! Please remember what SCUBA divers often say, take only pictures and leave only bubbles. We supply you with well-maintained snorkel equipment, which is more than adequate for almost everyone. If you are not a strong swimmer, we advise you to wear a life jacket in the water. If you are an experienced free diver, you will likely have brought your equipment on holiday. We welcome you to bring along your equipment onboard. We ask you to avoid touching anything while underwater. It is for your safety and the protection of the local wildlife. All of our speedboats are fitted with a freshwater spray nozzle near the stern to rinse yourself or your equipment off after the snorkel session. Please feel free to do so.
Bamboo Island is a beach lovers paradise! Hence, we chose this paradisiacal location for a picnic lunch on a white sand beach. After lunch, you will have lots of time to relax, soak up some sun rays, or cool yourself with a refreshing swim in the warm tropical waters of the South Andaman Sea. Please note that the ability to stop on Bamboo Island is subject to weather and sea conditions. Your safety is our primary concern. We may alter the itinerary if prevailing weather or sea conditions make disembarking on the island dangerous or unpleasant. If conditions do not allow us to stop at Bamboo Island, we will visit a restaurant for a delicious lunch buffet.
As your day at the islands draws to a close, it is time to say goodbye to this island paradise. The speedboat journey home is an opportunity to discuss the day's events with fellow passengers and newfound friends, or sit back, close your eyes, and relax. Please ensure that you have all of your possessions with on the speedboat before we depart the islands and again when you disembark at the Royal Phuket Marina.
After disembarking at the marina, we welcome you back to our private lounge. Our team of professional drivers will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in Khao Lak. Please remember to use the restroom and ensure you have your belongings before you board the minibus. Depending on traffic conditions, we should have you back at your hotel in Khao Lak around 6 PM.
