Description

Discover the Phi Phi Islands and some of the best snorkeling in the Krabi area, away from the commercial circuit, on a full-day semi-private speedboat trip from Ao Nang, Krabi.

Arrive early to Maya Bay to avoid the crowds

This tour focuses on the archipelago of Koh Phi Phi.

You will be picked up in a meeting point near Ao Nang Beach or in Railay Beach (other areas please consult) and sail to the famous archipelago, consisting of 6 islands, being the large ones Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh.

One of the stops will be made in the Phi Leh Lagoon, an incredible natural lagoon with crystal clear waters, surrounded by limestone cliffs. Undoubtedly, one of the most magical places in Thailand...

We will also sail to Maya Bay, usually the first stop to make sure we arrive before the majority of the boats. This is an impressive natural Bay with the characteristics of the area seen in the film 'The Beach' with Leonardo DiCaprio. See the beach which has now reopened for registered guests after being closed for several years for preservation and regeneration work.

We will also go to some of the best snorkelling spots in the area, these islands are located at the open sea so this is why the marine and coral life is very rich!

We will discover very beautiful spots but every day we customise our itineraries, adapting them to the sea conditions, tides and the level of occupation of the beaches.

We will also enjoy an exquisite Thai Buffet Lunch served on the beach with amazing views! And of course we can adapt the menu to any food restriction.

Our certified guide will be with you all day, explaining Thai culture, the history of the islands, the characteristics of southern Thailand, and safety rules on board. The guide will also accompany you during the snorkeling sessions so you can learn about the marine life you encounter.

This tour tries to choose places that are not on the routes of the other tour operators in the area. Some of these places include Bida Nok, Bida Noi, and Loh Moo Dee Beach

Throughout this Semi-Private Boat Tour, you will be able to experience the islands in full privacy, visiting them outside of peak hours. We organise groups of maximum 17 people, and we use comfortable and spacious speedboats.

At the conclusion of your Phi Phi experience, you will be returned to your point of origin.
