Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Pi Leh Bay (also known as Ao Pileh, Pileh Lagoon, Pileh Cove, or Pi Ley Cove) on your Koh Phi Phi Leh tour. This natural wonder features a dramatic, canyon-like formation that almost bisects the island. Our tour includes swimming in the crystal-clear waters and taking in the breathtaking scenery. For those interested, local longtail boat vendors operate within Pi Leh Lagoon, offering rides at an additional cost. Please note that these boat trips are provided by independent vendors and are not included in our tour. Our itinerary may be adjusted slightly based on daily tide conditions to ensure the best possible experience. This may mean visiting a different island first.
Loh Samah Bay is a picturesque and tranquil location situated on the southern side of the Phi Phi Islands Group. The bay's depth ranges from 5 to 20 meters, with visibility typically between 5 and 15 meters. The bay's walls are teeming with hard and soft coral and shellfish, creating a thriving habitat for the marine life of Phi Phi Island. You'll encounter a variety of scorpionfish, parrotfish, and other fascinating species in the area. When we visit Loh Samah Bay, we'll dock directly at the bay, rather than at Maya Bay. From here, you'll have the opportunity to capture stunning photos of both Sama Bay and Maya Bay. Please note that due to recent national park regulations, there may be a queue to enter Maya Bay. This could take up to 20-30 minutes, but you can still enjoy the breathtaking views from the front deck of our boat during this time. We hope you have a wonderful time exploring this serene and beautiful location.
Maya Bay is a renowned tropical paradise famous for its stunning karst cliffs, pristine white sand, and turquoise-blue waters. It's part of the Hat Noppharat Tara – Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park and is often referred to as Paradise Island by tourists. The 2000 film "The Beach" starring Leonardo DiCaprio even featured this iconic location. When we visit Maya Bay, we'll dock at Loh Sama (Sama Bay) and take a short five-minute walk to the bay. You'll be captivated by the breathtaking scenery and have the opportunity to enjoy the fine white sand and crystal-clear water. Please note that swimming is currently prohibited within the bay itself to protect the delicate reef ecosystem, as mandated by the Thai government. We hope you have a wonderful time exploring this tropical gem. Please note that our itinerary may vary slightly depending on daily tidal changes. We may visit a different island first to make the most of our experience.
Phi Phi Don is the largest island of the Phi Phi Islands, and it's where we'll enjoy a delicious Thai buffet lunch during our tour. This beautiful island boasts stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a diverse array of plants and animals. We're confident you'll love exploring this idyllic location and savoring the authentic flavors of Thai cuisine. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions or preferences so we can ensure your needs are met. Please note that our itinerary is subject to change slightly due to daily tidal variations. To ensure the best possible experience, we may visit a different island first. The tour duration may also vary slightly.
Monkey Beach is a picturesque location on the southwestern side of Tonsai Bay, approximately 700 meters from Phi Phi Don, the main island. This 150-meter stretch of white powdery sand is bordered by emerald waters and backed by a steep limestone cliff covered in lush vegetation. As the name suggests, it's home to playful monkeys. During our tour, we'll stop at Monkey Beach to take photos of the wild monkeys on the beach and mountain from our boat. Please remember that we strongly discourage touching the wild monkeys, as there have been many incidents of injuries caused by scratching and biting. We cannot guarantee that all passengers will see wild monkeys during the tour, as they are wild animals and their movements and timing are unpredictable. To minimize the risk of biting incidents. We hope you enjoy exploring this beautiful location from a safe distance.
Discover the hidden gem of Koh Khai Nok in Ao Phang Nga Bay, a beautiful island known for its unique egg shape. Enjoy relaxing on the beach, swimming, and snorkeling. We'll also provide paddleboards to share around and to explore this incredible location at your own pace. We'll provide fresh fruit and water to keep you refreshed. Local vendors may also offer alcoholic beverages for sale, so bring cash if you'd like to purchase any. Our itinerary is subject to minor adjustments based on daily tide conditions to optimize your experience. This may involve visiting a different island first.
Our boat will depart from our final island stop and return to the marina around late afternoon. Light refreshments will be waiting for you upon arrival. From the marina, your driver will transfer you back to your Phuket hotel, with an estimated arrival time between 6:50 PM - 7:00 PM. Please note that traffic conditions may cause delays.

- Maya Bay in Thailand has reopened to visitors after a temporary closure. While swimming is not allowed within the bay to protect the reef, you can still enjoy the island's beauty. Please note that the island may close again from August to September to allow for natural recovery. We urge all visitors to respect these measures and help preserve the delicate ecosystem of Maya Bay.
- We recommend that you bring along items you would normally bring to the beach, such as sun-tan lotion, hats, sunglasses, beach towels waterproof bags or plastic bag, and a change of clothes if needed. While our boat does have a toilet, it may be cramped if you need to change clothes inside. Therefore, we recommend wearing your swimsuit under your clothing to make it easier to change. We would like to inform you that the motion experienced on our speedboat tour may be intense and could potentially cause motion sickness to some passengers. To alleviate this, we have made seasick pills available for free at our marina office upon check-in. It is important to note that while the pills can help, they may not be suitable for everyone and it is recommended that you consult with your doctor prior to taking them if you have any medical concerns. Our priority is the comfort and safety of all our guests, and we appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
- We do provide our guests with complementary soft drinks and water, as well as fresh fruits, during their visit to Khai Island. However, please be aware that additional services, such as beach chair rental and the purchase of alcoholic drinks, may be offered and charged by the local vendors.
- Unfortunately, due to our tight tour schedules, our adventures aren't ideal for cruise ship guests. We sincerely apologize for this limitation and any inconvenience it may cause. We encourage you to explore other options for experiencing the area during your cruise stop. We wish you a wonderful time on your journey!

- For your comfort and convenience, and to ensure a smooth pickup for all passengers, please avoid bringing large luggage on the shared minibus. Space is limited, and we want to make sure everyone has a comfortable ride. Thank you for your understanding!
- While we can't guarantee a monkey sighting since they're wild creatures, we'll do our best to get you close while prioritizing your safety. We do not reccomend any monkey interactions, as they can sometimes bite unexpectedly.

- Fuel & Emergency Policy: All bookings are based on national fuel rates as of March 17, 2026 (Diesel: 29.94 THB/litre | Gasohol 95: 31.05 THB/litre). Due to the ongoing Strait of Hormuz blockade and the resulting national energy crisis, a mandatory Emergency Fuel Surcharge will be implemented if domestic fuel prices at the pump exceed these base rates by 10% or more on the date of travel. This surcharge is calculated based on speedboat fuel consumption and is payable in cash prior to check-in at the pier. Because these tours are high-speed operations with fixed fuel requirements, no lower-cost boat alternatives are available. In the event of a fuel price spike, customers will be notified of the surcharge amount as soon as possible via WhatsApp or Email. Customers may choose to pay the additional surcharge to maintain their booking or receive a 100% refund of their deposit.

The tour guides knew english, the breakfast was amazing, and they were very accommodating. The communication pre and post tour was also very good and the lunch was really tasty, with veg options as well. Unlimited soft drinks and water on the speed boat with pickup and drop was icing on the cake. 10/10 experience.
Thank you so much for the perfect 10/10 rating and for sharing such detailed feedback! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your day out on the water was a seamless and memorable experience from start to finish. Clear communication is a top priority for us, so it is wonderful to know that you felt well-informed both before and after your journey. We are also glad you enjoyed the breakfast at the marina and the lunch buffet—we work hard to ensure our menus offer delicious options for everyone, including our vegetarian guests. Our team takes great pride in providing attentive, accommodating service, and they will be so happy to hear that the endless refreshments, smooth hotel transfers, and clear guidance helped make your trip the icing on the cake. Thank you for choosing us for your island-hopping adventure, and we truly hope to welcome you back on board for another premium experience in the future!
Great, very warm. Gladly again
Vielen Dank für das wunderbare Feedback! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie Ihren Aufenthalt als so herzlich und angenehm empfunden haben. Unser Ziel ist es immer, dass sich unsere Gäste vom ersten Moment an willkommen und gut aufgehoben fühlen. Dass Sie uns gerne wieder besuchen möchten, ist für unser gesamtes Team das schönste Kompliment. Wir freuen uns schon jetzt darauf, Sie bald wieder bei uns an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen, um gemeinsam weitere unvergessliche Momente in Phuket zu erleben!
Excellent food, waitress Aroa recommended the food. Employees like that make clientele. Good food and excellent service. We will definitely return
Muchas gracias por su comentario. Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutó de nuestro servicio premium y que la comida fue de su agrado. Le haremos llegar sus amables palabras a Aroa. Estamos totalmente de acuerdo en que empleados como ella, que se preocupan por recomendar lo mejor a nuestros clientes, son los que marcan la diferencia. Nos enorgullece contar con un equipo tan dedicado a ofrecer una atención excelente. Fue un placer tenerlos a bordo y nos motiva mucho saber que planean volver. ¡Los esperamos con los brazos abiertos para otra aventura inolvidable en las islas!
Nothing is private or luxurious here. The food offered consists of fast food. You are taken to so-called “beautiful spots”, which are advertised with free seating. On site, however, it turns out that drinks must be ordered immediately, otherwise you are asked to release the unstable wooden chairs immediately. Overall, everything is extremely overpriced – more expensive than in Europe. You are constantly confronted with jet ski offers, jewellery sales and other sales campaigns. Relaxation is hard to think of, especially as the beach is very rocky and dirty. The entire excursion looks like pure mass handling. You are taken from one place to the next continuously, often without staying in a spot for more than 30 minutes. This leads to seasickness rather than a relaxed experience. There are only small, common fish to see, the water is cold. Even in places like “Maya Bay” you are not allowed in the water – the actual purpose of the visit remains questionable. Nothing of the advertised baby sharks was visible. In addition, you have to expect further costs of about 100–200 euros. Even for so-called “free islands”, which offer nothing special, tickets are required. Overall, this trip does not meet expectations or advertising in any way.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir bedauern, dass die Tour nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat, möchten jedoch zu Ihrer Kritik Stellung nehmen: Nationalparkgebühren: Diese obligatorischen staatlichen Gebühren sind bereits zum Zeitpunkt der Buchung auf unserer Website sowie in unserer detaillierten Bestätigungsnachricht vor Tourbeginn deutlich als 'nicht inbegriffen' aufgeführt. Es liegt in der Verantwortung der Gäste, die Buchungsdetails vor dem Kauf zu prüfen. Externe Anbieter: Aktivitäten wie Jetskis oder Strandverkäufer werden von unabhängigen lokalen Anbietern betrieben. Wie in unseren Reiseunterlagen ausdrücklich erwähnt, haben wir keinen Einfluss auf deren Preise oder Verkaufsmethoden und profitieren nicht davon. Es ist daher unfair, uns für deren Präsenz verantwortlich zu machen. Naturschutz in der Maya Bay: Das Schwimmverbot in der Maya Bay ist eine staatliche Vorschrift zum Schutz des Ökosystems. Wir halten uns strikt an diese Gesetze, um die Natur für die Zukunft zu bewahren. Da es sich um Wildtiere handelt, können wir Sichtungen von Babyhaien niemals garantieren. Verpflegung & Ablauf: Unser Buffet ist darauf ausgelegt, eine stärkende Mahlzeit für einen aktiven Tag auf See zu bieten. Aufgrund der Beliebtheit dieser Ziele ist eine getaktete Organisation notwendig, um alle angekündigten Stopps sicher anfahren zu können. Wir legen großen Wert auf Transparenz und alle notwendigen Informationen standen Ihnen bereits vor dem Kauf zur Verfügung. Hälsningar
About the extra costs that are added without knowledge. We had to pay 800 B for PhiPhi ashore and 800B for boat trip in the lagoon. Unfortunately, there is no information about it.
Hej Susan, Tack för din feedback. Vi beklagar om det uppstod missförstånd, men vi vill gärna förtydliga vad som gäller för dessa avgifter. Som vi informerade om dagen före avresan är avgiften på 400 THB per person (totalt 800 THB för två) den officiella nationalparksavgiften. Detta är en obligatorisk avgift som tas ut av de thailändska myndigheterna för inträde till naturskyddsområdena, och det är inget som vi som operatör behåller. Eftersom vi vill vara helt transparenta erbjöd vi er en fullständig återbetalning dagen innan turen om ni inte ville betala denna myndighetsavgift. Då ni valde att tacka nej till återbetalningen och istället följa med på turen, utgick vi från att informationen var tydlig. Vi uppskattar era synpunkter och kommer att fortsätta arbeta för att informationen om statliga avgifter når fram till alla våra gäster i god tid. Hälsningar

There is nothing quite like seeing those islands for the first time, and we are honored to have been part of that journey with you. We hope to see you again for more adventures in the future!
It was all very commercial. I don't know what the premium was in. There were just as many people crammed into a speedboat as possible.
Het spijt ons te horen dat de tour commercieel aanvoelde en dat u het gevoel had dat er te veel mensen op de speedboot waren, waardoor u zich afvroeg wat het "premium" aspect inhield. We streven ernaar om een comfortabele en hoogwaardige ervaring te bieden. Het is teleurstellend om te horen dat u vond dat de boot overvol zat. Wij hanteren een strikte capaciteitslimiet op onze speedboten, en we zullen dit intern evalueren om ervoor te zorgen dat we de comfortnormen handhaven. Onze excuses dat het "premium" aspect van de tour, dat wij doorgaans uitdrukken in servicekwaliteit, routekeuze en maaltijden, niet duidelijk bij u is overgekomen. We zullen dit punt meenemen in de training van ons personeel en de communicatie over onze tours om toekomstige gasten een duidelijkere meerwaarde te bieden. Hartelijk dank voor uw eerlijke feedback.
