Join a guide-led longtail boat trip from Koh Phi Phi at 9 AM, 10 AM, or 2 PM. You’ll visit Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pileh Lagoon, Loh Samah Bay, and Maya Bay, with snorkeling gear, water, fruit, and a sunset option on the late departure.

Guides such as Adam, Ben, and Courtney keep the pace friendly, with fruit, soft drinks, masks, life jackets, and park fees included.
“The tour was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, we had to reschedule the original date twice due to a stomach flu, but the organizer was very accommodating and flexible. 🙏🏽 Everything went smoothly, and the entire crew was super friendly. Due to weather and water conditions, we couldn't go to Pileh Bay, but the snorkeling was an absolute highlight. We didn't see any sharks or turtles, but we did see many other wonderful sea creatures. 🐠We highly recommend this tour!”
You’ll travel by traditional longtail boat from Tonsai Bay to Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pi Leh Lagoon, Maya Bay, Bamboo Island, and Shark Point. Expect snorkeling, lunch, fruit, sunset views, and a night swim with luminescent plankton. The Thai and English-speaking guide sets the pace.
“Turen startede en halv time senere end planlagt, men sluttede stadig til den planlagte tid. Guiden var en smule aggressiv og råbte hele tiden. Stoppene fungerede egentlig fint nok, men nogle af stoppene var liiiige lange nok, fx som et stop på én strand, hvor vi var i én time eller Maya Bay, hvor vi var i halvanden time. Maden ombord på båden var også lidt nærigt, med en lille portion fried rice, én vand per person samt nogle stykker annanas, fordelt på ca 9 timer. Vi fik heller ikke alle stop med som lovet, fx var vi ikke forbi det sted, hvor man kunne dykke med hajer, og senere…”
Spend about five hours with Blue View Divers on two supervised scuba sessions near Phi Phi Leh and Ko Bida Nok. PADI instructors, including Renzo, teach beginners in small groups of two per instructor, with gear, lunch, fruit, water, and online training included.
Join Oh-Hoo at McDonald’s near Tonsai Pier for a roughly 9.5-hour speedboat tour around Phi Phi. You’ll visit Maya Bay, Pileh Bay, Monkey Beach, Bamboo Island, Viking Cave, and several snorkeling spots, with lunch, swimming, and time for photos.
“Amazing experience, however, extremely disappointed that we were not informed prior to departure that Maya Beach was closed. We were only made aware of this when the boat arrived at the bay of Maya Beach and wouldn’t go any closer. This was in August, upon researching we found out that Maya Beach had released a statement about the closure in May, we booked the tour in March - plenty of time to send an email to upcoming customers about a change to the tour schedule. Other than this, the snorkelling stops were excellent with beautiful clear water and vibrant coral reefs.”
You’ll travel from Phuket’s Rassada Pier by Royal Jet Cruiser to Phi Phi, viewing Maya Bay, Viking Cave, Loh Samah Bay, and Pileh Cove from the water. The day includes a Phi Phi Don beach stop, shallow-water snorkeling, buffet lunch, soft drinks, and hotel pickup if selected.
