Maya Bay in Koh Phi Phi is a tropical paradise known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and stunning limestone cliffs that create a dramatic backdrop. This idyllic spot became internationally famous after featuring in the movie "The Beach" starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The bay's white sandy beach is ideal for relaxation, while the surrounding waters offer excellent snorkeling opportunities with vibrant marine life. Accessible only by boat, Maya Bay remains a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Feel like checking it out for real someday? Please note: Maya Bay will be closed from August 1 to October 1 for government-led environmental rehabilitation. As an alternative, we’ve selected another beautiful island for photoshoots and snorkeling. Thank you for your kind understanding.
Viking Cave: a photo stop-over to this location that is inhabited by birds that make nests out of their saliva which are harvested to be sold and used as the main ingredient to create the famous birds' nest soup. The tour guide and the boat crew will bring the speed boat in front of Viking for a few minutes to take pictures.
Pileh Bay: A unique lagoon in Phi Phi Leh with turquoise green waters that is surrounded by limestone cliffs. The tour guide will bring the group to this area and anchor the boat inside the lagoon for 45-60 minutes for swimming/taking photos.
Loh Samah Bay: this bay is the entry point to Maya Bay. Crystal clear waters filled with schools of fishes surround the floating pier structure in this area. Maya Bay (including Loh Sama Bay) is closed by the local Thai National Park in an effort to maintain the marine environment from 01 August 2022 until 30 September 2022.

Excellent excursion, fun, full nature, several stops on islands or for snorkeling.crystal clear waters, colorful fish. The outbound boat jumps a lot.
Extremely crowded experience but a must do tour nonetheless. The tour guide was great at managing the large group we had. Prepare yourself for bumpy waves, huge crowds everywhere and aggressive monkeys! Enjoy!
Very organized and prompt. Tour guides are essentially babysitters because so many patrons refuse to follow directions. Our tour guide, Nadia, was great but no nonsense. If you willfully disobey directions, you will have an issue with her. Our entire family liked her and thought she was hilarious.
Very nice visit of several islands, you are left a reasonable time to visit or swim on each island. Maya beach is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. Dinner is included is very good, it is buffet style.
Firstly the positives ... our guide for the day was very enthisiastic and humerous, the lunch was very good and the scenery was stunning. Now the negatives ... our transport was half an hour late and was crammed, uncomfortable and barely able to accommodate so many passengers. The transfer to the boat was dragged out and the boat itself was definitely too full. I was unable to sit next to my wife. Two of the stops were a complete waste of time - brief stops at a barely seen cave and a beach with no monkeys ( we didn't disembark). You are unable to see very much from this type of vessel. Maya beach is grossly overrun with too many boats and tourists - why the Thai government do not restrict visitors is beyond me. On our return we were told the transport was delayed due to traffic and would be 20 minutes late. At this point we left the tour and made our own way back with unsuprisingly little traffic. We did enjoy the day but I would not recommend using this company.
We booked a very last minute a tour of the Phi islands by speedboat. The journey started in Ao nang and then to the Phi Phi islands. We visited various famous places like Maya bay and bamboo island. With very professional guidance and instructions. The crew supplied us with water fruit soda and chips. The lunch was a buffé located on Phi Phi islands with three different Thai dishes, the dishes were good and filling. Overall the day was very nice, sun was shining the water was crystal clear. The tour picked us up at 8:00am and dropped us off at 17:30 so a perfect full days trip for the price of 50$ in my opinion
Super recommended went out on schedule the super attentive guides offered water / coke / and at lunch they got me gluten free food (I am Celiac ) they cared about me Very good rating
Nadia and her crew are amazing!! Such a fun filled day with beautiful stops and great people. Thank you Nadia for getting the best pics of me!!
Really loved the Phi phi island boat ride, went to so many places and spent enough time in each. The lunch was good and the boat ride was fun. Had New as our tour guide and she was really excellent and made everything fun
Pro: The Phi Phi islands are beautiful. We went to multiple picturesque beaches and excellent snorkeling spots. Cons: The tour group had 45 people instead of the 35 max mentioned on the website and it's difficult for the tour guide to keep track of all the people. At every stop the tour guide keeps repeating to us if you don't come back by this time, bye bye, we will leave you behind. This is really not funny as it's hard to keep track of time when the tour guide explicitly tells you not to bring your bag or your phone at certain stops. When people didn't come back to the boat on time, the tour guide made little effort to look for people other than yelling from the boat. The boat is parked far away from the snorkeling area, so people can't hear anything if the tour guide just yell from the boat. Overall, I would recommend to go with a different tour operator to the Phi Phi islands.
