Join us on an exciting adventure with the Early Bird Phi Phi Island tour from Krabi! This trip offers a full day of exploration, beautiful landscapes, and memorable moments. Starting from the dock, the tour begins by visiting the 4 Islands like Poda, Tup and Chicken Island. Then we head by speedboat to Phi Phi's interesting spots, such as Maya, Loh Sama, and Pileh Lagoon, all set against the enchanting backdrop of a sunrise at sea. The excitement continues as you have the option to snorkel at Loh Sama Bay, exploring the underwater world. Your guide will then lead you to the scenic views of Pileh Cove, Viking Cave, and Monkey Bay, providing plenty of opportunities to capture the beauty of these natural wonders. As the day unfolds, the tour progresses to Phi Phi Don, where a buffet Thai-style meal awaits at a private restaurant. The journey then moves on to Bamboo Island, where you can relax on its white sandy beaches or enjoy snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters. Take in the interesting rock formation resembling a chicken head at Chicken Island and witness the natural wonder of the naturally divided sea at Talay Waek. The tour covers all the basics – transportation to and from the pier, a tasty buffet lunch, and equipment for snorkeling and life jackets, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience.

10:00 · Phi Phi Leh

11:00 · Viking Cave

We'll see Viking Cave, a fascinating place with old paintings that look like Viking ships. We won't go inside, but from our boat, we can admire its mystery and the beauty around it. The cave is also known for the bird nests that are collected for soup, a special dish in this area.

11:30 · Monkey Bay

Next, we'll cruise by Monkey Bay to see the monkeys from a safe distance. Sometimes, high tides might make it hard to get close. We need to be careful with our things and stay away from the wild monkeys, as they can be unpredictable and might hurt us.

14:30 · Talay Waek

We'll take you to our last destination, Talay Waek or Tub Island. We'll have a great time swimming and walking along the sandbar. It is one of Thailand's special sights. When the tide goes out, the sea splits, and a path of white sand and beach appears, connecting two islands. It's amazing to see and walk on this natural path that only shows up at low tide.

Very early pickup but on time and it was worth it; the first few hours you can enjoy some stops in complete silence. Amazing! Staff was very friendly and helpful when my husband had issues with his snorkel. Would totally recommend this tour

Frequently asked questions

What kind of food will be served during lunch on the tour?

We offer a delightful Thai-style buffet for lunch. The menu includes various choices such as curry, Pad Thai, stir-fried dishes, chicken, eggs, and a dessert. All our food is halal. If you have specific dietary requirements or allergies, please inform us when booking the tour.

Can I book a private tour for a special occasion?

Yes, we offer private tours for those looking to celebrate special occasions or simply prefer a more personalized experience. Please contact us for details and pricing.

Can I join this tour while being pregnant?

Unfortunately not. While our tours are designed with safety and comfort in mind, the speedboat ride can be bumpy and might not be suitable for pregnant guests, especially during certain sea conditions; therefore, we don't allow pregnant women on board.

Is the tour suitable for children and elderly guests?

Certainly! We welcome guests of all ages on our tour. However, for the safety and comfort of all participants, we require children to be 3 years of age or older. For our elderly guests, we advise ensuring they are in good health to fully enjoy the tour. We always prioritize safety and make sure that boarding and alighting the boat is as smooth as possible for everyone.

Can we enter the beach at Maya Bay?

Maya Bay closes each year for a few months during rainy season between 1 August and 30 September. During that time, we'll be able to enter the bay so you can take photos of the deserted beach. We won't be able to dock in the bay to give nature a chance to restore itself. Please note that closing months vary each year, but we'll update our website accordingly.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Yes. Cancelling or moving your booking to another date is free up to 24 hours before the tour starts, and anything you have paid is refunded in full. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time are non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded. If we have to cancel, for example for weather or safety, you can move to another date or take a full refund.
