Phi Phi Islands Speedboat Tour from Phuket: Maya Bay & snorkelingA full-day speedboat tour from Phuket to the Phi Phi Islands and Khai Islands in Ao Phang Nga National Park, with snorkeling at Pileh Lagoon and Phi Phi Don, a stop at the world-famous Maya Bay, lunch, and hotel pickup and drop-off included. The tour runs 9 to 12 hours depending on sea conditions and your selected option; Maya Bay closes annually from August 1 to October 1 for environmental restoration, during which the boat passes nearby for photos instead. Snorkeling equipment, life jackets, an English-speaking guide, and travel accident insurance are included; national park fees (400 THB per adult, 200 THB per child) are paid at departure.Is it for me?Book the Standard or Comfort option if you want the core Phi Phi experience—Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, and snorkeling—without adding extra islands. Choose the Catamaran option if you prefer a larger, more stable vessel and want free fins with your deposit. Add Bamboo Island if you'd rather spend time on a quieter beach than the Khai Islands, or pick the Khai Island option if you want the choice of water sports and beach services on-site.
Phi Phi, Maya Bay & Khai Islands Day Trip from PhuketYou spend the day island-hopping between Phi Phi Ley, Phi Phi Don, Khai Island, and Monkey Beach with snorkeling at each stop, lunch and refreshments included, and hotel pickup from your Phuket accommodation. The boat is small, the guide speaks English, and you're not managing transport or equipment rentals yourself — you just show up and spend the day in the water.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see multiple islands and snorkel without arranging your own boat, equipment, or transport from your hotel — the small-group format and fixed itinerary mean you spend the day in the water instead of organizing logistics.
Maya Bay & Phi Phi Islands Speedboat Tour from PhuketYou board a speedboat at Phuket's marina and visit four snorkel sites across Bamboo Island, Phi Phi Islands, Monkey Beach and Maya Bay. The day includes hotel pickup, snorkeling gear, a buffet lunch at Phi Phi Don, refreshments on the boat, and an English-speaking guide who handles all the timing. You're back at your hotel by late afternoon without arranging transport, park access, or figuring out which islands are worth the trip.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see multiple islands and snorkel without arranging your own transport, boat tickets, or timing between stops — the speedboat and guide handle all three, leaving you free to swim and take photos.
Snorkeling Phi Phi Islands from PhuketA full-day catamaran snorkeling tour from Phuket to the Phi Phi Islands, departing at 6am or 8am, with stops at Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave and Monkey Beach. The early departure gets you ahead of the 10,000 daily visitors; both options include hotel pickup, breakfast, lunch, snorkeling gear and a guide in English, German or Thai. Tides may shift the itinerary.Is it for me?Choose the 6am Early Bird if you want the islands before the daily surge of visitors—most operators depart later, so an early start is what gets you quiet water and uncrowded beaches. The 8am departure works if you prefer a slower morning and don't mind sharing the sites with more people; both tours visit the same stops and include the same meals and gear.
Phi Phi Islands day trip from Phuket: Maya Bay, Bamboo IslandThis full-day Phi Phi Islands tour from Phuket includes hotel pickup, speedboat transport, snorkelling equipment, and a buffet lunch as you visit Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Bamboo Island. The itinerary runs about 9 hours, with an English-speaking guide, experienced captain and crew throughout. National Park fees (400 THB per adult, 200 THB per child) are paid separately at departure.Is it for me?Choose the speedboat option if you want the full island route in one day with hotel pickup included; the catamaran or long-tail boat suit the same itinerary at a different pace. Skip the transfer if you can reach the pier on your own and prefer to save on the minibus cost.
Krabi: Phi Phi, Maya Bay & Bamboo Island Speedboat TourYou're picked up from your hotel and taken by speedboat to four stops: Maya Bay (the famous beach, 50 minutes on shore), snorkeling at Phi Phi Leh's coral reefs, a pass by Viking Cave and Monkey Beach, Thai lunch on Phi Phi Don, and Bamboo Island for a final snorkel in shallow, clear water. The tour includes all snorkeling equipment, life jacket, guide, and lunch; the boat ride is smooth and the group stays small. Book early if you're traveling in July or earlier, since the marine park closes in August and September.Is it for me?Choose this tour if you want to see Maya Bay and snorkel the Phi Phi reefs in one day without arranging your own boat, timing multiple stops, or figuring out which islands have the best coral—the fixed itinerary and small-group format handle all three, and the pickup from your hotel means you don't need to navigate to the pier yourself.
Phi Phi & Maya Bay speedboat tour from Phuket: snorkel and swimA speedboat tour from Phuket visits Phi Phi Island, Maya Bay, Loh Samah Bay and Khai Island over seven to eight hours, with snorkeling gear, lunch and an English-speaking guide included. Hotel pickup is available as an option; meet at Roong Siam Pier if you prefer. The tour stops at Monkey Beach to see wild monkeys, and includes paddle boards and clear canoes for exploring shallow water and coral reefs.Is it for me?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.
