11 Islands Tour from Phuket: Phang Nga Bay, Railay & Phi Phi
The 11 Islands tour strings together the two most famous seascapes near Phuket – the limestone towers of Phang Nga Bay and the lagoons of the Phi Phi archipelago – in one long boat day. You paddle a canoe, snorkel over coral, have lunch and still get to see Maya Bay, so it is the choice for travelers who want the highlights without booking two separate trips.

What you will see
The route covers James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan) with its view of Koh Tapu, the karst scenery around Koh Panak, canoe waters among hidden lagoons, and then the Phi Phi group: Monkey Bay, Viking Cave, Pileh Lagoon and Maya Bay, the beach made famous by the film The Beach. Every stop is a short, scenic hop, so the day feels busy but never repetitive.
How to choose between the two programs
Andaman Sunrise is the early departure: hotel pickup is before dawn and the boat reaches James Bond Island ahead of most crowds. It adds Railay and Phra Nang Beach in Krabi, snorkeling at Tonsai Bay, lunch on Phi Phi Don, time on Bamboo Island and a final snorkel at Koh Mai Ton, returning to your hotel in the evening. Masks and canoeing are included, fins are rented separately.
Andaman Treasures starts a bit later with a full breakfast at the pier. It spends more time inside Phang Nga Bay: the Ice Cream Cave on Koh Panak, canoeing at Koh Talu, lunch in the sea gypsy village of Koh Panyee, Koh Lao Lading and the long white beach and lagoon of Koh Hong with an optional viewpoint climb. The Phi Phi section comes in the late afternoon and ends with a swim in Pileh Lagoon.
Who it suits
Both programs are long, active days that work well for travelers who want maximum variety. Children aged 4 and up have their own ticket. If you are pregnant, tell our manager when booking – otherwise the crew may refuse boarding at the pier.
Practical tips
Bring swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and a waterproof bag for your phone. From 1 August to 30 September Maya Bay is closed for landing, so the boat only shows it from the water. Timings and the order of stops are set by the captain and guide on the day and may shift with the weather and tide.
