Itinerary
Maya Bay is a stunningly beautiful bay that's sheltered by 100-metre high cliffs on 3 sides. You can enjoy several beaches here. Most are small and some only exist at low tide. The main beach is around 200 metres long with silky soft white sand. The whole bay is one big reef and the underwater scene features colourful coral and exotic fish in exceptionally clear water. Maya Bay became a top attraction on Phi Phi after The Beach (1999) was shot here. It was always very popular before the film but ever since the film came out, people around the world who haven't even heard of Phi Phi have certainly heard of Maya Bay.
Nui Beach is one of the most beautiful ‘secret beaches’ in Phuket. This 120-metre strip of sand is located roughly 3 km through the jungle after the Kata-Karon Viewpoint, on the road linking the Kata and Nai Harn beaches. The well-maintained beach is a tropical dream destination come true, complete with a bar/restaurant, a stylish spa, and recreational activities such as snorkelling, beach volleyball, and sea kayaking.
Monkey Beach is a stunning 150-metre-long strip of white powdery sand fringed by emerald waters. The beach is set against a backdrop of a steep limestone cliff that’s covered with lush vegetation. The forested cliff is the habitat of monkeys, which is where the beach got its name from. Monkey Beach is not only famous for its furry inhabitants. Its also known as a top-notch snorkelling spot.
The amazing Pileh Lagoon Phi Phi is an stunning inlet located near the popular Maya Bay beach. It’s one of the most stunning places to visit in Thailand due to its stunning emerald waters and limestone cliffs.
The largest of the Phi Phi Islands, Ko Phi Phi Don is a non-volcanic island, made mostly of limestone. Accessible from Phuket, with all visitors arriving by boat, Ko Phi Phi Don has great beaches and popular diving and snorkeling spots. Much of the island is a protected marine reserve

Patty was absolutely INCREDIBLE, she was knowledgeable, personable, and all around a fantastic time. The company we booked with (forever vacation) made the set up extremely easy and everything was prompt and so much fun. She gave us insight but also let us explore on our own, it was the perfect balance. I understood her easily, and I was sad to depart. We were on the water for a good couple of hours and able to swim freely which was nice. She showed us different fishes, and sea animals while snorkeling which was really cool! I would highly recommend this tour if you want to have an amazing time.

Patty truly sounds like a gem — knowledgeable, personable, and the perfect balance between sharing insights and giving you space to explore on your own. It’s wonderful to know you felt comfortable, had plenty of time on the water, enjoyed swimming freely, and even learned about the different fish and sea life while snorkeling. We’re also glad to hear that the booking process with ForeverVacation was smooth, prompt, and fun from start to finish. Your recommendation means so much to us, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Patty and the team.

You NEED to do this tour as a private tour. Phi phi island is a very popular destination and hence gets very crowded. The private tour allows you to see the beauty of the island without all the stress of being in with a crowd of tourist. Bessica was our guide. She knows the best spot for photos, knowledge and speaks great English. She also knows the best local restaurants for lunch!!! And she takes AMAZING pictures!! I recommend this company . I booked 5 tours with this company while i was in Thailand with my family, best choice ever.

Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We hope to see you again soon for more incredible adventures! 🌟 Best regards, The ForeverVacation Team 😊
We took two boat tours with forever vacations - Bessica - from the start the company were great at communicating with us and a few days prior to the trip they messaged with our full times etc for the day. Bessica was our tour guide for the day and was so lovely, knowledgeable, patient and kind. He took the best family photos which I will treasure forever. I honestly wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company and will see what other countries they tour in... if only Bessica was our tour guide for every country. X

We went on this tour with Patty as our guide. It was actually our second tour with her in 3 days because she was so amazing on the first one. Although this trip is a bit pricier due to it being VIP Private Boat, do not let that deter you from booking this trip! It was AMAZING! Patty, our driver Mr. M, and the boat crew were simply amazing at their roles to make this one of the most memorable trips on our vacation. Patty is an instagram picture perfectionist so literally everything she did captured the moment perfectly! The boat crew made sure we had everything we needed the entire trip and went above and beyond to take care of us the whole way and ensure safety throughout the trip. Mr. M is a fabulous driver and also ensured that we got to and from each stop safely and made sure we were having fun during the rides. We even talked him into joining us on our private tour! I cannot say enough good things about Patty. Seriously...that girl is AMAZING. She taught us so much history and gave us all the good spots to go check out for the rest of our trip. She took us to an amazing restaurant on Phi Phi Island and made sure to capture every monument with her phones and go pro. If you are on the fence about book this trip...get off the fence and book it fast! Also make sure to request Patty as your guide!!!

Thank you Patty for an amazing day!!! This day was absolutely worth the extra money. We spent an entire day with great people speeding around the Phi Phi islands. The tour is private so Patty was super accommodating and stopped anytime we asked. She is fun, kind, and knowledgable. She also took great photos of my family for us!! Also a special shout out to our fun driver (wish I could remember his name) who was so kind to my son and was always smiling :) Wish we could re-live this tour everyday!!
