Phi Phi Islands Tour from Phuket: Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon & More
A Phi Phi tour from Phuket is the classic Andaman Sea day out: the cliffs of Phi Phi Leh, the emerald water of Pileh Lagoon, Maya Bay from The Beach and lunch on Phi Phi Don. We offer eight versions of the trip, from a very early sunrise departure to a relaxed late-start catamaran or a sunset party, so you can match the day to your pace.

What you will see
Almost every program covers the same core: Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon and Loh Samah Bay, Viking Cave with its swiftlet nests, Monkey Beach at Yong Kasem Bay, snorkeling off Phi Phi Don and lunch on the island. The extras are what set the options apart: Khai Island, Bamboo Island, Mai Ton reef or Racha Yai.
How to choose a program
Phi Phi + Khai is the simple, budget-friendly classic with a sandy finish on Khai Nai. Phi Phi + Bamboo + Mai Ton + Khai packs in the most stops, including coral snorkeling at Mai Ton. The Phi Phi Cruise uses a large ship that shows Phi Phi Leh from the deck, then transfers you to a smaller boat for snorkeling and gives free time on Phi Phi Don; staff speak English.
Early risers have two options. Phi Phi + Bamboo + viewpoint picks you up in the middle of the night, meets the sunrise at sea and reaches Maya Bay before the day boats, with free time on Phi Phi Don to hike to the viewpoint. Phi Phi + Bamboo by catamaran starts a little later and ends with a long beach stop on Bamboo Island.
If you prefer to sleep in, choose a late-start catamaran: Phi Phi + Khai or Phi Phi + Mai Ton with sunset. Both have a water slide, clear kayaks and SUP boards; the guide speaks English daily and Russian on set days. The newest program, Phi Phi + Racha Yai, adds breakfast in a pier lounge and ends with a chill-out sunset party on a premium catamaran near Mai Ton.
Good to know
From 1 August to 30 September Maya Bay is closed for landing and is shown from the boat only. Pregnant travelers are strictly not allowed on speedboats, and pregnancy must be declared when booking. A longtail ride in Pileh Lagoon and the Phi Phi Don viewpoint cost extra on the programs that list them. Bring swimwear, sunscreen, a hat and some cash; the order of stops can change at the captain's discretion.
Frequently asked questions
Which Phi Phi program should I choose?+
For the best value pick Phi Phi + Khai. To beat the crowds at Maya Bay take an early departure. If you want a relaxed morning and water toys, choose a late-start catamaran, and for an evening atmosphere go for the Racha Yai program with the sunset party.
Can we land on Maya Bay?+
Landing is possible on most programs, except from 1 August to 30 September when Maya Bay is closed and viewed from the boat only. On the cruise ship, Maya Bay is always seen from the deck.
Is there a Russian-speaking guide on the catamaran trips?+
The late-start catamarans have an English-speaking guide every day. On Phi Phi + Khai a Russian guide joins on Mondays and Fridays, on Phi Phi + Mai Ton with sunset on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Can pregnant travelers join?+
Speedboat trips are strictly forbidden during pregnancy, and any pregnancy has to be declared at booking. Our manager will help you check which format is possible.
What is not included?+
Personal expenses, fins rental and, where listed, the longtail boat ride in Pileh Lagoon or the entrance ticket to the Phi Phi Don viewpoint. The cruise ship program also charges extra for pickup from remote areas.
