Julia – United Kingdom

We had such a great experience on this tour! The itinerary was well-organized, and we managed to do a lot without ever feeling rushed. The highlight was definitely the snorkeling and bamboo Island — the water was crystal clear and full of colorful fish, and we had plenty of time to swim and explore. Our tour guide was super friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They made everyone feel comfortable and added a fun energy to the day. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and we really appreciated the care and attention given to everyone on board. A fantastic day out — I’d absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Miguel – Portugal

The activity was very well planned. We were the first group to arrive at Maya Bay so it was not crowded at all. The other stops were also good with appropriate duration for the activities. We definitely recommend the activity for a great day exploring Phi Phi islands.

Full description

Enjoy delicious Thai donuts with tea or coffee at the meeting point, to join a speedboat tour at sunrise. Visit one of the most beautiful beaches in Thailand and in the world at Maya Bay.

Be the first one on the beach as Maya Bay is your first stop of the day, right when it opens. Several movies have been filmed at this gorgeous location, with "The Beach" movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the most famous one.

Next, head to Pileh Lagoon, the perfect spot to cool down and take a swim in the turquoise waters whilst admiring the cove-like canyon which literally cuts into the Phi Phi Leh island.

Visit Monkey Bay, where multiple beaches can be found and where you will see crab-eating macaque monkeys in their natural habitat.

Then, enjoy a snorkel experience and come face-to-face with blacktip reef sharks. These harmless sharks will ensure that you have an incredible snorkel experience as you discover Phi Phi's underwater paradise, one of the most beautiful in the world.

Stop at Viking Cave to take pictures. Nobody knows the real story about Viking Cave, which is now used for harvesting swallow bird nests. This cave is one of the main attractions at Phi Phi Leh and although it is not allowed to go inside the cave, your tour will stop here close enough to take pictures.

If you have selected the full-day option, make your way to Bamboo Island. Swim in crystal clear seawater on Bamboo Island, a tiny island where you can enjoy your lunch at the beauty of a paradise island in peace.

Matt was an amazing host on this trip and ensured we were the first to arrive at each location, sharing his knowledge of them all. We were the first to Maya Bay and were able to capture wonderful photos and chill on the amazing beach before lots of people arrived. We got to monkey island and Matt was straight in the water directing us all where to go, my children adored it as did we and best of all we were the first boat to get to bamboo island, absolutely beautiful island and great lunch provided by Matt and the team. I don't often write reviews but my husband and children (14 and 17) absolutely loved this trip, it was a hi-lite of our holiday.
