Tour Overview

Explore Iconic Locations: Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon

The Phi Phi Islands gained worldwide fame as the filming location for The Beach, and you’ll have the chance to visit two of its most iconic spots. First, we’ll head to Phi Phi Leh, where the stunning Maya Bay awaits. After a short walk through the forest, you’ll find yourself at the famous beach, surrounded by dramatic cliffs. Capture the perfect photo or just take in the beauty of this tropical paradise. Next, we’ll dive into the warm, emerald waters of the equally beautiful Pileh Lagoon, a true hidden gem of the islands.

Scenic Boat Ride and Historic Viking Cave

As we cruise from Phi Phi Leh to Phi Phi Don, enjoy a scenic boat ride with panoramic views of the islands and coastlines. Along the way, we’ll make a stop at the historic Viking Cave. This fascinating site is not only known for its role in the Bird’s Nest Soup industry but also for the unique ancient paintings adorning its walls. We’ll then head to Monkey Bay, where you’ll have a chance to see playful monkeys from the safety of the boat.

Snorkeling in Paradise

The Phi Phi National Park is home to an incredible variety of marine life, and during your tour, your expert guide will choose the best spots for snorkeling. Dive into the crystal-clear waters and discover a stunning underwater world filled with colorful fish, coral reefs, and—if you’re lucky—gentle sea turtles. Whether you bring your own snorkeling gear or use the provided equipment, don’t forget to respect the coral and marine life by simply admiring them without touching.

Discover Phi Phi Don and Tonsai Village

Next, we’ll visit Phi Phi Don, the largest of the Phi Phi Islands, where the bustling village of Tonsai offers a glimpse of local life. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to hike up to the famous viewpoint for a panoramic view of the island—an iconic photo opportunity that’s sure to make your Instagram followers jealous. If the hike isn’t your thing, feel free to relax on the beach, swim in the crystal-clear waters, or explore the charming streets of Tonsai Village while your guide takes the rest of the group to the viewpoint.

Lunch on Bamboo Island

By now, you’ll have worked up an appetite, so we’ll take you to the pristine, white-sand beaches of Bamboo Island for a delicious Thai-style lunch. After dining, you’ll have plenty of free time to relax, swim, or snorkel around the island’s vibrant coral reefs before we hop back on the speedboat for the return journey to the Royal Phuket Marina.

A beautifully organized early bird tour. Hotel pickup was punctual, breakfast was light but elegant, and the boat experience felt smooth and well managed. A very polished experience. I would recommend this trip to everyone.

Good tour overall with many inclusions like transfers, food, and national park fees. It is a full schedule, so be prepared for an early start and a long day.

Excellent tour start to finish. The soft morning light over Maya Bay was absolutely stunning. The crew was professional, the snorkeling gear was clean, and lunch was good. The water was crystal clear during snorkeling, and the guide took us to less crowded spots.
