3.Phi Phi: Morning Speedboat Tour to Maya Bay with Snorkel

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,244 reviews · 4 hours - 390 minutes · from $51

Start early from Tonsai Pier with an English-speaking guide such as Batman, Matt, or Birdy, depending on the boat. You will visit Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Monkey Bay, Viking Cave, and several snorkeling sites. Choose the half-day trip for the main sights or add Bamboo Island, lunch, and extra swimming with the full-day option.

“Brilliant day from start to finish. Matt was friendly and helpful, probably the best guide we’ve ever had. Plenty of fresh pineapple and bottled water/Pepsi on board the speedboat, which was smoothly and professionally driven. The entrance fees to Maya Bay were included, as well as Bamboo island, which made for a very reasonably-priced tour. If anything, the lunch of chicken and rice was a bit lacklustre, but the cafe on Bamboo island had loads of decent options if you had a fussy member of your party! Really great tour overall, would definitely recommend it, and it is 100% worth getting up early for!”

“Great day, very good value for money, cheapest we found. Visited 7 islands - had plenty of time on each. Lunch, fruit and 2x bottles of water was included. Stopped at lots of different points for photos, including stopping for sunset. Our guide planned our route so we arrived at the islands before most other people and as we were leaving everyone else was arriving, was nice to avoid the overcrowding. Boat was a long tail - out tour was booked up and there wasn’t very much room on the boat. However, didn’t feel overly cramped. When on a budget this is no less cramped than we expected. Tour provided…”

We got to see a huge turtle whilst in one of the snorkelling spots too! Adam also surprised us with unexpected stop for bioluminescent plankton right after the sunset when it got dark.
