Private Phi Phi & 4 Islands Sunset Cruise from Krabi
Snorkel Phi Phi's handpicked reefs, then watch the sunset from Railay's limestone cliffs.
A private speedboat tour from Krabi visits Phi Phi Islands, Monkey Beach, Viking Cave and four smaller islands over 8.5 hours, with snorkeling at operator-chosen spots, Thai buffet lunch on the beach, and sunset viewing at Phra Nang Beach in Railay Bay. The boat is yours alone, so you set the pace and your guide steers toward the quieter beaches. Free hotel pickup from Ao Nang is included; other Krabi locations have a separate transfer fee. Minimum age is 4 years; moderate fitness helps.

The Experience
You board a private speedboat in the morning and head straight to Ko Phi Phi Le, where the first snorkel stop waits in water the guide has already scouted for fish and coral. The boat is yours — no other groups, no schedule compromise — so if the reef holds your attention longer, you stay. A second snorkel site follows, then Viking Cave, one of Phi Phi's landmarks, where you can look from the water or wade ashore depending on the tide and your mood. By midday you're at Monkey Beach, a working beach where the animals are real and the crowds are smaller than the postcard versions.
Lunch is a Thai buffet spread on the sand at one of the quieter islands, with vegetarian options available if you've flagged them at booking. Fresh fruit and water come with it. The afternoon drifts through Poda Island and Tup Island — more snorkeling, more swimming, or just the view from the boat if you've had enough of the water. Your guide, a certified local who speaks English, Spanish or Thai, knows which beaches stay calm and which ones fill up by noon, so the route bends toward the ones worth your time.
As the light softens, the boat heads to Phra Nang Beach in Railay Bay, where the limestone cliffs rise straight out of the water and the sunset turns them gold. You watch from the boat with a club sandwich and a drink, no rush to leave. The return to your hotel is included if you're staying in Ao Nang; other locations have a separate transfer arranged when you book. The whole day runs 8.5 hours from pickup to drop-off.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you're staying in Ao Nang and want to skip the transfer negotiation — pickup is free from your hotel at 10:15 am. If you're based elsewhere in Krabi, arrange your preferred pickup location when you book and budget for the separate minivan or boat transfer fee. The private boat means you move at your own pace instead of waiting for a group to gather, which matters most if you want to linger at one reef or skip the crowded photo stops.

What's included in the price for the private Phi Phi speedboat tour?
The tour includes Thai buffet lunch on the beach, snorkeling gear and briefing, national park fees, a professional guide, life jackets, fresh fruit, water and soft drinks, a club sandwich at sunset, and free round-trip hotel pickup from Ao Nang. The price covers up to 6 people; additional adults and children have a separate per-person cost.
Can I snorkel if I've never done it before?
Yes. The guide gives a snorkeling and fish identification briefing before the first stop, and you choose which reefs to enter based on your comfort level. Life jackets are provided, and the guide picks spots with calm water and good visibility.
What are the pickup options from different parts of Krabi?
Free round-trip pickup is included for all hotels in Ao Nang at 10:15 am. If you're staying in Krabi Town, Klong Muang, or Tup Kaek, a private minivan pickup is available for a separate fee (1,100–1,300 Baht for up to 3 people, plus 100 Baht per additional person). Railay guests can arrange boat pickup at 10:50 am for an extra cost. Contact the operator to confirm your location and preferred departure time.
How long is the tour and when does it end?
The tour runs 8.5 hours from pickup to return. You depart between 9:50 am and 10:50 am depending on your pickup location, and return to your hotel in the late afternoon after the sunset viewing at Railay Bay.
Is this tour suitable for children?
Children as young as 4 can join, but they must be accompanied by an adult. The tour involves swimming and snorkeling, so a moderate level of physical fitness helps. Let the operator know any dietary needs when you book.
Why is this speedboat tour different from the shared group tours?
You have a private boat, so no other groups are on board. Your guide can adjust the route and timing based on what you want to do — stay longer at a reef, skip a beach, or linger at sunset — instead of following a fixed schedule for twenty people.
