Itinerary

1

Meet the lovely crew of Arisa Speedboat at McDonald’s near Ton Sai Pier and cruise by spacious speedboat with a maximum of 35 guests aboard from Phi Phi Don to Bamboo Island. Make a short stop on the way at the famous Monkey Beach. Here you can watch wild crab-eating macaques playing at the white sandy beach. The stunning 150m-long strip of white powdery sand fringed by emerald water is an excellent spot for snorkelling. Continue to Shark Point which is justifiably the most popular of the local dive sites. Named after the docile Leopard Sharks that are often encountered resting on the sandy seafloor here. Approaching from the sea Shark Point appears as a tiny rock outcropping of no particular interest but beneath the surface lies a vast multicoloured reef teeming with marine life. After arriving at the pristine Bamboo Island, you can relax at the beach with the whitest soft sand shaded by, you guessed it right – the bamboo trees! You will enjoy a buffet-style Thai lunch directly on the beach. Then cruise slowly past Mosquito Island for taking photos and make a snorkel stop at Hin Klang. It is an underwater reef, or coral mountain that doesn't break the surface. Return to the main island of Phi Phi Don to visit Nui Bay, Monkey Bay and Wang Long Bay. The second part of the trip will be around Phi Phi Leh Island, including the spectacular Phi Leh Lagoon. You will be surrounded by towering limestone cliffs rising out of the turquoise sea. It would be a crime to miss out on Maya Bay but without access to 'The Beach'. To actually see the bay without any boats moored and not a single person or footprint in the sand is truly a sight to behold. On the way back we will make a short stop at Viking Cave, before you can fully enjoy the sunset over the Andaman Sea. The highlight of this trip is the abundance of sparkling bioluminescent plankton so you will get to experience the psychedelic underwater show.

Epic Day

What a wonderful full day of and kindness. We went to nine different beaches or sweet swimming places. We saw monkeys and had a nice lunch. We spent time at amazing Maya Beach. We snorkeled with many colorful fish. We had a lovely sunset time. Then finished with swimming with bioluminescent plankton in the dark. The staff were so kind to us, especially since we were the elders on board. I was also impressed by the careful care they took of the comfortable speedboat, washing sand off our feet before getting on. They cleaned the boat between stops while we were swimming. I am so glad we chose this company and this tour.

Great time! Do it!

We had a great time on this all day boat tour! We never felt rushed, and our tour guides were all very nice and accommodating. The bioluminescent plankton is real life! The chicken and rice for lunch was nice as well and we got fruit at the end! Highly recommend!

Perfect tour if staying in Phi Phi

Really brilliant staff who are so friendly and helpful, and some of them come with you when snorkelling to point out the best stuff. Speedboat is great quality and super fast, and the whole experience is well worth the money. Lunch is decent, all snorkelling equipment and life jackets provided too. The places you are taken to are marvellous and not to be missed if you’re staying in Phi Phi. Absolutely recommend the full day tour with monkey bay, snorkelling, Pileh lagoon, Maya beach, sunset and glowing plankton - absolutely ace.
