2.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!”

3.Ko Phi Phi Don: Speedboat Day Trip with Shark Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 223 reviews · 5 hours · from $48

Spend five hours exploring Phi Phi by speedboat with guides such as Adam, Ben, or Courtney. Visit Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pileh Lagoon, and Maya Bay, then snorkel for reef sharks and turtles before sunset and a swim with glowing plankton. Drinks, fruit, gear, and national park fees are included.

“The entire tour was entertaining and enjoyable. Our guide Adam was funny and attentive to everyone in the group and was fast answering any questions about the spots we visited. We felt safe and well looked after the entire time. Snorkelling was fun and we had plenty of time to explore each stop, we spent 1 hour on Maya Bay and managed to avoid big crowds so got plenty of solo pictures on the beach. 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. Overall experience…”
