Itinerary
One of the most beautiful spots in the Andaman Sea. The white sands and turquoise waters blend seamlessly for a marvelous view. Enjoy your time here swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing or walking around this picturesque area. Known as Koh Pai in Thai, it is the most north-easterly island of the Phi Phi archipelago in the southern Thai province of Krabi. Lying approximately five kilometres off the northern tip of Koh Phi Phi Don, Bamboo Island is a stunning tropical hotspot that offers the perfect getaway from the crowds as the island is, most of the time, never too crowded. Measuring roughly 600m wide by 700m long, the island is almost shaped like a heart and is entirely surrounded by a strip of white sand.
At about 12:30pm you'll arrive at the pier of Ton Sai Bay at Phi Phi Don to have lunch at a beachside restaurant followed by free time on the beach.
At Pileh Lagoon on Phi Phi Leh there is more time spent relaxing and swimming. There is also an option of a long-tail boat activity (additional expense) here and this is followed by visits to Monkey Beach and Viking Cave.
Maya Bay is where "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed. You'll be here by 3:00pm for more swimming in the crystal clear waters or just relax on the beautiful beach.

Traveler reviews
Excellent trip with top notch crew
We went on a bunch of boat trips during our two weeks in Phuket. This was by far the best run one. The Royal Marina is the best departure spot to leave from, clean and very high end. The boats are very well maintained, fast and don't smell like oil like some of the other boats. Po and Pone were very good guides and organizers. We went everywhere we could and luckily got a sunny day (even with decent wind/waves). Thankfully we got a lot of time on Bamboo Island which is by far the best uncrowded beach island with perfect turquoise water. The lunch on Phi Phi Don was excellent, far better than the other tours that actually made us sick (avoid the Sea Gypsies / floating docks, it's a floating slum).
Xmas Day From Hell
I bought a trip from you with a maximum 15 participants. On the day there was between 60 and 70 on a very uncomfortable boat with little space. Also the Traditional Thai lunch at a seaside restaurant was dreadful and nowhere near traditional Thai. It was a poor cattle market buffet. Very poor
Full day of fun and island hopping
We booked the trip through Expedia and were glad we booked a full day instead of the half day! We were staying near Patong so had a bus picking us up. Once at the wharf we had a lovely snack and then into the boat. Fun ride in the front of the boat to several islands and some fantastic snorkelling - lovely and clean, plenty of fish and reef and not crowded. The Tour guide Jennifer was fun and made sure we all had the best day. Well worth the money and a long outstanding day. Thanks IAsia Thailand
Worst money spent in Thailand
Considering the previous tours, where I found myself particularly well, I was full of expectations for this new tour; moreover, with a much higher cost than other tours done (1,200 bath vs 3,900 bath), I expected a much higher Service and experience! However, I was very disappointed with this tour...the tour was for phi phi island...and most of the time was spent in other islands: one where you were besieged to buy something (but not by the tour staff), the other where you had lunch (the worst of the tours made), with the dirty beach, as well as the water (because of the different boats)...the guide often “heavy” for his attitudes and mannerisms that sometimes were nice, others but annoying. Only positive notes: the commander, very good, bamboo island (where we were only 30 '), beautiful, and the staff always very helpful and kind.
An enjoyable, though tiring experience
The views on the islands are marvelous - and that's the essence. The pickup/dropoff was on time, the guide took good care of us. However - there is nothing "deluxe" about this trip. 15 ppl on a small speedboat is a little too many, stopping on islands like "Phi Phi Don" or "Khai" just to make the count 6 is a misunderstanding and makes the trip last 2-3hrs more. All things considered, it's still worth it.
