What can you expect

Escape the masses and claim the jewels of the Andaman Sea on this exclusive, private half-day longtail adventure. Departing directly from Koh Phi Phi Don at your preferred morning, midday, or afternoon time slot, this carefully timed charter ensures you experience the serenity of Phi Phi Leh's most treasured sites, often beating the major tour crowds. This is more than a trip; it's your personalized key to the iconic landscapes that define southern Thailand.

Your journey begins at the legendary Maya Bay, the stunning crescent beach immortalized by the movie The Beach. We visit early or late to enjoy its protected beauty before moving into the tranquil embrace of Pi Leh Lagoon. This breathtaking natural pool, enclosed by towering limestone cliffs, offers calm, crystal-clear turquoise waters perfect for a refreshing swim and effortless snorkeling. After navigating this aquatic paradise, we pass by the fascinating Viking Cave, rich in maritime history and local folklore.

Beyond the iconic sights, your private longtail takes you to the best coral-rich snorkeling spots surrounding Phi Phi Leh, where you can easily discover the vibrant underwater ecosystem. The adventure culminates with a stop near Monkey Beach, a famous cove where wild macaques roam freely in their natural habitat—a perfect photo opportunity and a unique wildlife encounter (remembering to keep a respectful distance).

Traveling by a traditional private longtail offers the intimacy and flexibility large group tours simply cannot match. You set the pace, ensuring quality time at each of the "Big Four" destinations. Your charter includes all necessary snorkeling gear, life jackets, fresh water, and fruit, allowing you to focus purely on the stunning scenery. Just bring your towel, cash for the National Park fee, and your camera to capture your personal collection of Phi Phi's most stunning coves.

Inclusions

  • Drinking water & fresh seasonal fruit

  • Life jackets (mandatory for all guests)
  • Professional English-speaking guide
  • Basic travel accident insurance (covers injuries sustained only during the trip. It does not cover treatment for pre-existing medical conditions)

Important

  • 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.
