The Experience

The speedboat leaves Phuket for Phi Phi Island and its surrounding waters, where the day splits between snorkeling stops and beach time. You'll anchor at Loh Samah Bay to snorkel among coral and colorful fish, then move to a natural swimming pool ringed by limestone cliffs where you can jump in from the boat. Monkey Beach comes next—a short walk on sand where wild monkeys roam—and the guide will give you time to relax or take photos before the boat heads out again.

Maya Bay, the beach from the film "The Beach," is the centerpiece stop. You'll have time to wade ashore, walk the sand and frame photos of the dramatic limestone backdrop, though the bay closes annually from August 1 to September 30 for environmental recovery; during that window you can view and photograph it from the boat only. Pileh Bay offers another snorkeling chance, and Khai Island rounds out the reef time with more shallow-water coral and fish.

Lunch is a Thai-style buffet served on the boat or on one of the islands, with fresh fruit, soft drinks, tea and coffee included. Snorkeling equipment and life jackets are provided; the paddle boards and clear canoes let you explore coves and reefs at your own pace without staying tethered to the group. An English-speaking guide narrates the stops and manages the timing so you're not rushed between sites. If you book hotel pickup, the driver collects you from your accommodation and returns you at the end; if you prefer to meet the boat, Roong Siam Pier is the departure point.

Is this one for you?Book the hotel pickup option if you want to sleep in and skip the drive to the pier; choose the pier meeting if you're staying nearby or prefer to time your own arrival. The seven to eight hour span means an early start and a full afternoon back on land, which suits a single-day island run without overnight travel.
