Here, you'll have the opportunity to feel the soft white sand and dip your toes into the crystal-clear turquoise waters. You'll have about 50 minutes to relish one of Thailand's most breathtaking spots, and if you're fortunate, you might catch sight of black tip reef sharks swimming in the shallow areas. Important regulations at Maya Bay include prohibitions on swimming, single-use plastics, drone usage without approval, and mandates for reef-safe sunscreen.

Experience snorkeling on the eastern coast of Phi Phi Leh, where you can explore stunning coral reefs in pristine waters and uncover the remarkable corals.

As we continue our journey, prepare to be enchanted by Monkey Beach. This stunning stretch of 150 meters, located on the southwestern side of Tonsai Bay, features soft white sand kissed by vibrant emerald waters. Thick greenery ascends the cliffs that back the beach, providing a sanctuary for a troop of monkeys. Be attentive – during low tide, you may catch sight of them cheerfully scavenging for breakfast along the shoreline. Although we won’t stop at the beach itself, this taste of paradise is bound to be a memorable moment in our adventure.
Enjoy a rich Thai style lunch in restaurant on Phi Phi Don, vegetarian options are available. After lunch you will have 30 minutes for sightseeing in Ko Phi Phi Don
The final destination will be the small, flat island referred to as Koh Pai, often called Bamboo Island.

Very well-organized tour with a lot of activities, and the lunch is also good with available options for veg and non-veg, so it’s good. The support staff is helpful.
I am a solo traveler, so before booking I thought whether it would be good for me or not, but this tour proved me wrong. I made new friends and enjoyed a lot with them, and now I am traveling everywhere with my new friends. So it’s a good tour.
For the price we had expected a smaller group for a better experience
Me & My partner enjoyed a lot unforgettable experiences literally. we enjoyed all the activities and we got fun . Big thanks to himanshu to arrange a pickup from our villa & Guide is very friendly with all. Thank you very much.
Everything was perfectly organised. Staff was very nice and views of Maya Bay and islands were spectacular.
The boat was too crowded. 70+ people on a small boat packed in like sardines. The stops were too short. The head guide used a megaphone on the boat which hurt my ears. We had to use a life preserver to swim in 4 feet of water which was ridiculous.
Absolutely amazing day! Visited the beautiful islands and have great memories 🥰 This tour company are very very good, the staff were very helpful in arranging a last minute change of pick up from Railay pier. The staff spoke in both English and Thai so this was great for everyone. The lunch was fantastic, so many options and tasted delicious! I would highly recommend this tour company and thank them for their hard work!
This excursion should never have gone ahead. The sea was far too choppy for a safe, comfortable journey. People were being lifted from their seats and about 5 of them were throwing up. Maya bay was closed because we could not get to shore safely and cocanut island we had to get out of the water because it was choppy. Should have been cancelled.
Dear guest thanks for your feedback, we are sorry to hear this, as the weather and sea conditions were safe, the trip continued, we take safety very seriously and we have made a note of this for future, we apologise for your experience.
When you go by speedboat you don't appreciate the scenery, you go with quite a few people, very crowded and quite quickly
Dear guest thanks for your feedback, we are glad you had a nice time and enjoyed your visit.
Love this tour but felt a bit rushed at the stops and wish we would’ve had more time at each place. Also, it would’ve been helpful to know to bring cash along; my friend and I weren’t able to buy anything on the islands because we only had credit cards.
Dear guest thanks for your lovely review, we are glad you had a nice time on the tour.
