Phuket to Phi Phi Islands: Maya Bay & Snorkeling SpeedboatYou board a speedboat before 8am from Phuket's five-star marina and arrive at Maya Bay early enough to have the beach mostly to yourself. The day includes breakfast on the sand, swimming in Pileh Lagoon, two snorkeling stops with marine life, a viewing of monkeys and the Viking Cave, lunch at a pool club, and free time on a private island. Small groups (max 18) and included equipment mean you're not managing logistics or sharing the experience with a hundred other tourists.Is it for me?Book this if you want the main Phi Phi highlights in one day without arranging your own boat, timing multiple stops, or dealing with massive tour groups — the small-group cap and early departure are what make the quiet morning at Maya Bay and the snorkeling actually worth the trip.
Phi Phi Islands: Sunrise & Maya Bay with Speedboat & SnorkelYou board a speedboat at Royal Phuket Marina and spend eight hours visiting four islands: Maya Bay for swimming and photos, Monkey Beach for wildlife, Viking Cave for history, and Bamboo Island for snorkeling. Lunch, snorkel gear, drinks and national park fees are included, with hotel pickup and drop-off handling the logistics before and after.Is it for me?Right for travelers staying in Phuket who want to see multiple islands and snorkel without arranging their own boat or transport — the eight-hour pace is what fits all four stops, lunch and snorkeling into one day.
Phi Phi Islands: Snorkeling Tour from Phuket with Lunch & PickupYou’ll swim in clear waters off Bamboo Island, spot monkeys scrambling along cliffs at Monkey Beach, and hear local stories as you pass Viking Cave. Lunch is included on Phi Phi Don before drifting near Maya Bay’s iconic shore — even if you can’t land there now, you’ll feel its calm. Expect laughter, salt air, and maybe a few surprises along the way.
Phi Phi Islands Snorkeling Tour: Speedboat to Maya BayA full-day speedboat snorkeling tour from Krabi visits Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave and Bamboo Island with a live English-speaking guide, hotel pickup, snorkeling equipment and buffet lunch included. The boat holds 45 passengers and departs from Nopparat Thara Pier after morning pickup from Ao Nang, Krabi Town or nearby beaches. Maya Bay allows no swimming to protect the ecosystem, but you snorkel on the east side of Phi Phi Leh on coral reefs; a longtail boat ride to secluded coves costs extra. The tour runs 7.5 hours and suits families with children from age 4.Is it for me?The boat holds 45 passengers and the day moves at a steady pace across four islands with snorkeling, beach time and lunch built in—suited to families and mixed-fitness groups who want the main Phi Phi sights without arranging transport or equipment themselves. If you prefer a smaller group or a private boat, look for alternative operators; if you want to explore only one or two islands in depth rather than see the highlights, a half-day snorkeling charter might fit better.
Phiphi Islands Day Trip from Khao Lak: Snorkeling, Maya Bay & LunchYou’ll swim in clear Andaman Sea waters at Ko Phi Phi Le, spot wild monkeys at Monkey Beach, snap photos of Maya Bay’s iconic cliffs, and enjoy lunch on Bamboo Island with time to relax or snorkel more. With hotel pickup included and a local guide sharing stories along the way, expect sensory surprises — like salt air or laughter echoing off limestone — that linger long after you leave.
Phi Phi Islands: Snorkeling Tour by Speedboat with GuideYou’ll swim through crystal-clear lagoons at Maya Bay, spot monkeys at Ao Ling, and relax on Bamboo Island’s soft sand during this Phi Phi Islands snorkeling tour by speedboat with a local guide. Snorkeling gear is included (and lunch if you pick the full-day). Expect laughter, salty air, and moments you’ll remember long after you’ve rinsed off the sand.
Phi Phi Islands & Maya Bay Boat Tour from Phuket with FoodA full-day boat tour from Phuket to the Phi Phi Islands and Maya Bay in Ao Phang Nga National Park, with an English-speaking guide, snorkel equipment, and meals from arrival to departure. Hotel pickup is included in the Elite option; the Value option departs from AA Marina. National Park fees (400 Baht per adult, 200 Baht per child 4–11) are paid separately at the marina. The tour runs roughly 8.5 hours, departing around 9:30 AM and returning by early evening.Is it for me?Book the Elite option if your hotel is on the Phuket mainland and you want pickup included; the Value option departs from AA Marina, so you'll arrange your own way there. Either way, the all-day food—breakfast, lunch, and fruit—means you're not hunting for meals between islands or paying extra at vendors. The speedboat is fast and can be rough, so it suits travelers who don't get motion sickness easily; free seasick pills help, but they're not a guarantee. Infants must sit on an adult's lap, and the tour is not suitable for passengers under 1 or over 70, or for anyone with serious heart, lung, spinal, or mobility issues.
Phi Phi Islands Snorkeling: Black Tip Reef SharksThis snorkeling tour departs from Koh Yao Yai and visits the Phi Phi Islands and Koh Bida Nok on a speedboat with a live English-speaking guide, small groups of 6–14 people, and a flexible itinerary that lets you skip stops like Maya Beach if you prefer. Lunch, snorkeling equipment, onboard restroom and fresh water showers, and beverages are included; the tour runs six hours and suits all fitness levels when children are accompanied by an adult.Is it for me?The flexible itinerary and small group size suit snorkelers who want to avoid the packed tours and spend real time at the reefs instead of rushing through a checklist—you can skip Maya Beach entirely if the water is better elsewhere, and the guide adjusts based on where the sharks and fish are active that day.
Snorkeling Phuket: Phi Phi Islands & Maya Bay by SpeedboatThis speedboat snorkeling tour from Phuket visits the Phi Phi Islands, Maya Bay, Pileh Cove, Monkey Beach and Khai Island in a single day, with a guide, lunch, snorkel gear and hotel pickup included. The tour runs about seven hours and departs at 7:30 am from your hotel or the Sea Angel pier. Maya Bay closes annually from August 1 to September 30 for recovery, during which you'll see it from the boat instead of landing on the beach.Is it for me?Book the "With Transfer" option if your hotel is in the free pickup zone and you'd rather not navigate to the pier yourself; choose "Without Transfer" if you're staying outside the zone or prefer to meet the group at Sea Angel pier at 7:30 am. Either way, the snorkeling stops and the day's structure stay the same—the choice is only about how you get to the boat.
Krabi: Bamboo Island, Maya Beach & Phi Phi Islands Snorkel Day TripYou board a speedboat at 9am and visit six islands in one day: Bamboo Island for swimming and white sand; Viking Cave for limestone sightseeing; Pileh Lagoon for clear water and cliffs; Lohsamah Bay for snorkeling with coral; Maya Beach for photos from the boat; and Monkey Bay for a final swim. Hotel pickup from Krabi Town or Ao Nang is included, as are snorkel gear, lunch, and a guide who manages the boat schedule and stops so you don't have to.Is it for me?Choose this if you want to see multiple islands and snorkel in one day without arranging your own boat, timing stops, or figuring out which islands are worth the trip—the fixed itinerary and early start mean you're in the calmest water before crowds arrive.
Phuket Phi Phi Islands: Speedboat tour with lunch & guideYou’ll ride a speedboat from Phuket with a local guide, swim in emerald lagoons surrounded by cliffs, visit Maya Bay (from the boat), eat Thai food on Phi Phi Don, and snorkel near coral reefs teeming with fish.

Snorkeling Phi Phi Islands from Phuket: Maya Bay & MaitonA 12-hour snorkeling day trip from Phuket to the Phi Phi Islands and Maiton Island aboard a traditional long-tail boat, with swimming at Maya Bay, coral reef exploration, a premium buffet lunch and afternoon tea served on board, water slide and paddle board access, and a resident DJ. Hotel pickup from the Phuket area is included, as are snorkeling equipment, a beach kit with towel and flip-flops, and all national park fees. An English-speaking guide leads the group; children from age 4 are welcome.Is it for me?Book this if you want a full-day family snorkel trip with young children (from age 4) where an English-speaking guide handles all commentary, so you can focus on the experience rather than managing logistics.
Phi Phi Islands Day Tour: Snorkeling, Maya Bay, Monkey BeachA full-day Phi Phi Islands tour departing from Phuket hotels with snorkeling equipment, an international buffet lunch and national park entry included. The boat visits Monkey Beach (home to hundreds of wild monkeys), Maya Bay (a sheltered cove ringed by 100-metre cliffs), Bamboo Island (quieter than the main stops) and Phi Phi Leh's coral reefs. A live English or Thai-speaking guide leads the tour; the schedule departs later than most, giving you extra morning time before pickup.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to sleep a bit later than the standard early-morning island departures—the later start time is the trade-off that makes a full day of four stops possible without rushing the morning. The tour suits families with children from age 2, couples and solo travelers equally, though children under 11 need a paying adult with them, and anyone with back, neck or heart conditions should weigh the boat ride and water time carefully before booking.
Phi Phi Islands Speedboat Tour: Snorkel Khai IslandA full-day speedboat tour from Phuket to the Phi Phi Islands and Khai Island combines sightseeing at Maya Bay, Viking Cave and Monkey Beach with a 40-minute snorkeling session in shallow coral reefs and a Thai lunch on Phi Phi Don. The tour departs at 10am, includes snorkeling equipment and an English-speaking guide, and returns around 5:30pm; choose the transfer option for hotel pickup or meet the boat at the pier.Is it for me?Book with transfer if your hotel is in central Phuket and you'd rather not arrange your own way to the pier; book without transfer if you're staying near the pier or prefer to drive yourself. The snorkeling happens before lunch on a schedule that keeps the whole day moving—you get the islands, the reef, the beach time and the boat back by early evening without anything feeling rushed.
