Maya Bay is a stunningly beautiful bay that's sheltered by 100-metre high cliffs on three sides. Inside the bay there are several beaches, most are small and some only exist at low tide. The main one is around 200 metres long with silky soft white sand, underwater colourful coral and exotic fish in exceptionally clear water; the whole bay is one big reef.

120 min

The Phi Phi islands are some of the loveliest in Southeast Asia. These picture postcard islands offer the ultimate tropical getaway. Featuring classic tropical beaches, stunning rock formations and vivid turquoise waters teeming with colourful marine life, it is paradise perfected.

Phi phi to ourselves

The Early Bird Phi Phi Tour was absolutely worth the early wake-up! We beat the crowds and had Maya Bay almost to ourselves—just stunning. The crew was super friendly, the boat was comfortable, and the whole day ran smoothly. Snorkeling spots were beautiful and the meals were a nice bonus. Highly recommend this tour for a relaxed, crowd-free experience of the islands!

Phi phi islands tour

We were initially concerned that this tour would be a long day with 3 children under 10, especially with the 06:30am pick up time! However, they loved every minute of it as did we! We were so glad we left early to get to maya beach as we we left it was starting g to get really busy. All the places we went were incredible and the tour guide was excellent in explaining everything clearly. The kids loved snorkelling and seeing the amazing marine life. We decided to go on a smaller speed boat with 13 on board and were glad we did as was a comfortable trip there and back. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking of going.

Highly recommended tour to Phi Phi

Great outing. About 20 person on the speedboat. Everything well catered for. James the guide was funny and very informative. Even though it was an early tour. It was still little busy at the stops for snorkeling. Phi phi Don was fairly quiet and lovely with a beautiful clean beach. Bamboo Island was extremely busy and lots of time to snorkel and swim. Lunch was filling and warm Thai food. In all a great day out and by leaving early you do miss the big crowds.

Dear Valerie, You are 100% correct! Leaving slightly earlier to Phi Phi Islands will beat the majority of the crowds and arrive before every one else. Thanks for your comments, Regards, Nick

Phi Phi Tour with I Asia Thailand

My family and I️ enjoyed very much the tour to the Phi Phi Island! Nok was our main tour guide. She and his team were super nice and very thoughtful and attentive to everyone on the tour. The staff really emphasized safety throughout the day and we always felt very safe with them. There was 20 people on the tour on a very nice sized boat. It did not seem crowded at all and they had plenty of snacks and refreshments ready throughout the day. After seeing some of the other tours throughout the day, we feel we made the best choice. Early start yes but well worth it to see these beautiful islands
