Phi Phi Islands Premium Small-Group Early Tour from Phuket
Start your Andaman Sea adventure with pickup from your Phuket accommodation. Travel to the elegant Phuket Boat Lagoon Marina, board your vessel, and sail past the yachts, with breakfast along the way. You’ll be one of the first to step foot onto the pristine sands of Maya Bay, before admiring the limestone towers and emerald waters of Pileh Bay. Next up is Monkey Beach, so-called because of its macaque residents, where you’ll stop to admire the monkeys frolicking from afar. Your first snorkel stop is Viking Cave, where you’ll jump into the water and admire colorful marine life. After your second snorkel stop at Nui Beach, you’ll have time to relax on either Bamboo Beach or Koh Rang Yai, depending on the conditions. The tour concludes with a Thai buffet lunch at the upscale Soho Pool Club before your transport drops you back at your address.

What you'll see & do
- ✓Phukets only 5 star marina. Marvel at the beautiful yachts as we embark on our adventure into the Andaman sea.
- ✓Phi Phi Island Tour’s first glimpse of magic - Maya Bay Phi Phi Maya Bay has been a "must sightseeing location" for hordes of Thailand tourists for decades and as such, has suffered from its overuse. Thankfully the National Park prohibited from 2018 to the end of 2021, any boat from dropping anchor in the bay and alighting at the beach, to allow the gorgeous coral island treasures, wildlife and environment time to recover. You will be one of the first boats to arrive and this awe inspiring bay to enjoy placing the first footprints of the day into it's fine white sand. ***During the months of August and September, the Phi Phi National Park closes Maya Bay to tourists to allow some annual rejuvenation to the ecosystem. The stunning Bamboo Island is visited instead during these months. ***
- ✓The tour’s emerald crown, Pileh Lagoon - Tide Dependent Our next port of call on our sunrise tour, if tide allows, is Pileh Lagoon before the crowds arrive. It is a spectacular emerald green lagoon surrounded by high limestone cliffs on 3 sides, one of the world's most gorgeous natural swimming pools. Grab your action camera and film or take a photo of the extremely spectacular view of the emerald waters merging with the caves and the blue clear horizon.
- ✓Experience the Phi Phi Islands from underwater - 1st Snorkeling Stop It is now time to explore the magical underwater world with some swimming and snorkeling during our speedboat tour. We supply all your snorkeling equipment including fins and flotation aids such as life jackets and swim noodles. The staff are always there (in and out of the water) ready to help any first timers with encouragement, advice and sometimes just a helping hand throughout the day tour. In around Phi Phi waters, we are regularly visited by Whale Sharks, Dolphins, Whales and Reef Sharks. If you're lucky we may see these on tour!
- ✓Phi Phi Islands have their secrets - Macaque Monkeys and the Viking Cave During the tour, we will stop by one of the local beaches for a viewing of the monkey troops. For our own safety, we stay on the boat whilst viewing these cute Long-tailed Macaques on the monkey beach. For animal lovers, this is one of the most featured moments of the tour! The Viking Cave is home to the special Birds’ Nests used to make Birds Nest Soup. It is not possible to enter this enormous cave but we will show you from the outside and you can witness the armed guards guarding the birds' nests from looters!

Take your time to enjoy the island’s beauty at one of the most stunning beaches in the world and end your day the right way.
