Itinerary

Enjoy this self-guided day tour from Phuket which includes private hotel transfers, shared speedboat transfers, and a 4-hour private longtail boat tour visiting all the highlights of Koh Phi Phi. This is very unique and the only way to discover Phi Phi on your own longtail boat without having to stay overnight on the island. Start your day early and get picked up around 7 AM by private car at your hotel in Phuket. Enjoy a comfortable ride to Rassada Pier, where at 8.30 AM you will be taking a shared speedboat transfer to Koh Phi Phi. Upon arrival at Tonsai Pier in Phi Phi at 9.30 AM, you have 1 hour of free time to discover the cosy streets of Koh Phi Phi Don and see the local island life. At 10.30 AM the highlight of this day tour will start. Board your own longtail boat and have a private tour of 4 hours with a local captain around the major spots of the Phi Phi Islands: Spend 1 hour in Maya Bay, where "The Beach" was filmed. Discover this preserved area, where it is not possible to swim, but because of this, you can sometimes see baby sharks. Admire the turquoise waters of Pileh Lagoon. Go to Monkey Bay to observe crab-eating macaque monkeys from a safe distance. Swim and snorkel with harmless blacktip reef sharks at a snorkel spot. Stop outside the Viking Cave to take pictures and head to Loh Sama Bay with a small islet in the center and a tiny beach at the back of a small canyon. Get back to Tonsai Pier at 2.30 PM, where you will have 1 more hour of free time to explore Phi Phi Don. Check-in at 3.30 PM to the speedboat transfer that leaves at 4.00 PM to Phuket. Once at Rassada Pier at 5.00 PM, your private car driver will be waiting for you to drop you back at your hotel in Phuket around 6.00 PM with a day full of unforgettable memories.

Worth every penny. We saw people on larger group tours and it seemed much less pleasant. Our boat captain was great and our driver Jupjang in particular was awesome!

The service from the staff is impeccable. They send you a PDF with step-by-step instructions and schedules. You can't go wrong. If you, like me, feel nauseous when the boat rocks, take medication. The (Read More)y recommended it to me and it worked out great. I can only thank you, Phi Phi is beautiful, the tour is excellent and you can do everything easily, May Bay is a place designed by the Gods. Thank you very much.

The car comes to pick you up at 7, you were waiting at 10 to 7 at the hotel reception! You arrive in Phi Phi at 910, you have to wait for the boat captain until 1030, mine was 10 minutes late, the cap (Read More)tain doesn't speak any English, and he's not at all friendly, and not at all nice, we didn't even know where we were, the fruit..., only super sour pineapple, it was inedible, we finished our experience at 130h,

My guide was really good and patient. I know that there was language barrier. But he made so much effort to make me happy.
