What to expect
Your exceptional full-day journey begins with a smooth check-in between 06:45 and 07:00 at the Phi Phi Coral Tour office counter, conveniently located directly in front of the main Ton Sai Pier. Just a stone's throw from where your private longtail awaits, meeting your dedicated crew here ensures a seamless 07:00 departure as you prepare to embark on an intimate voyage, skipping the masses.
The adventure starts by cruising north to the flawless shores of Bamboo Island (Koh Mai Phai). From 07:20 to 08:30, this tranquil haven is the perfect place to start your day, boasting powdery white sands and calm, turquoise waters ideal for basking in the sun and enjoying a refreshing swim.
Following this tropical relaxation, your traditional longtail boat turns toward a captivating wildlife encounter (08:30–09:15). You will cruise to Monkey Beach, a famous cove where wild macaques are often seen roaming freely—a truly unique photo opportunity to observe the colonies at their coastal habitat before continuing the voyage south toward the magnificent Phi Phi Leh.
The iconic sites of Phi Phi Leh await. Your journey continues with a memorable pass by Viking Cave (09:15–09:30), allowing you to capture photos of this fascinating limestone formation steeped in local history. Immediately after, you will drop anchor (09:30–10:30) for a spectacular snorkeling session in the nearby coral-rich areas, exploring the vibrant underwater world.
The core of the Phi Phi experience lies in the breathtaking natural wonders of Phi Phi Leh. From 10:30 to 11:30, you will glide into the majestic Pi Leh Lagoon, a stunning natural swimming pool enclosed by towering cliffs where the shallow, crystal-clear water offers a serene environment for a swim and snorkel. The journey culminates at the legendary Maya Bay (11:30–12:30), the crescent beach famously protected for its pristine natural state. By timing your visit strategically, you'll be able to claim this national park jewel before the main crowds arrive, relaxing on the soft sand while admiring the dramatic limestone scenery.
Finally, your private longtail begins its return cruise back to Phi Phi Don pier (12:30–13:00). Complete with snorkeling gear, life jackets, fresh water, and fruit, this private full-day tour is the ultimate way to connect with the incredible natural wonders of the Phi Phi Islands, ensuring memories of pure paradise that last a lifetime.

Important Information
- Bring a towel, snacks, waterproof bag, swimwear, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, flip flops and a camera.
- Thailand's Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation will close Maya Bay every year for 2 months in August and September.
- During certain seasons, jellyfish may be present in the Andaman Sea, and contact can cause skin irritation or discomfort. To minimize the risk, we recommend wearing protective clothing such as watershoes and long swimwear when swimming.
- Ensuring your safety is our top priority. To that end, we strongly recommend wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkeling.
- Don't feed the monkeys as it makes them aggressive and stops them from foraging for food as they would normally do.
- Longtail boats navigate close to the shoreline, allowing passengers a convenient and effortless transition to the beach.
- While flip-flops are convenient, water shoes offer better protection against sharp objects like shells or rocks on the sand, and provide improved traction on wet surfaces.
- Shorts are ideal as they dry quickly and allow for greater freedom of movement, especially if the water level reaches above your knees when getting on or off the boat.
- This tour is not allowed for pregnant women, infants under 2 years or people with back or neck problems.
