Tour Description
If you've ever dreamed of visiting the world-famous Phi Phi Islands without dealing with the usual crowds, consider our exclusive speedboat tour. This early morning trip departs with limited capacity, offering a more intimate experience.
A minivan will pick you up from your Krabi hotel at 6:00 AM. After check-in at Nopparat Thara Pier, the tour begins at 7:00 AM aboard a comfortable 40-seat speedboat. The first stop is Railay Beach to pick up additional guests. Enjoy a light breakfast on the pristine, empty shores of Poda Island before heading to Phi Phi Leh in under 45 minutes.
The highlight of the tour is a visit to Maya Bay, where you can sink your feet into the soft white sand and swim in the crystal-clear turquoise waters. You'll have about 50 minutes to soak in the beauty of one of Thailand’s most spectacular spots. With a bit of luck, you may even spot blacktip reef sharks.
Next, we head to Pileh Lagoon, where you can capture stunning photos of the 600-meter-long canyon surrounded by towering limestone cliffs. Enjoy snorkeling on the eastern side of Phi Phi Leh and explore coral reefs in the crystal-clear waters. Snorkeling equipment, fins, and drinking water are provided, and you can opt for a longtail boat trip (additional charge) to discover smaller bays.
As we pass by Viking Cave, learn about the history of this site famous for bird's nest soup. Then, observe long-tailed macaques having breakfast on the shores of Monkey Beach.
Before noon, enjoy a Thai buffet lunch at the Phi Phi Arida restaurant on Koh Phi Phi Don. If you have special dietary requirements, such as vegetarian meals, please inform us in advance. After lunch, take some time to explore the bustling center of Phi Phi, from Tonsai Bay on the south to Loh Dalum on the north side.
In the afternoon, relax on the peaceful white sand beach of Bamboo Island (Koh Mai Phai). This heart-shaped island is surrounded by a white sandy beach, perfect for snorkeling over shallow coral reefs. The island's interior is covered in lush vegetation, including Casuarina and bamboo trees, which give the island its name.
The tour continues to the Four Islands group, where you can walk along the Thale Waek sandbank that connects Koh Kai, Koh Tup, and Koh Mor islands. Take some photos of the unusual rock formations of Chicken Island before heading back to the pier.
