Itinerary
You will be collected from your hotel in Ao Nang, Krabi Town, Ao Nam Mao, Klong Muang or Tubkaek Beach in the morning, the exact pickup time will be indicated at time of confirmation.
Check in with our boat crew at the small booth at Nopparat Thara Pier.
Receive a short briefing and instructions by the boat crew.
Pass by: On the way to Phi Phi Islands you will make a short stop at Railay Beach to pick up other guests.
Cruise over to Koh Phi Phi Leh on a comfortable speed boat with a limited number of 45 seats.
The first stop will be at Loh Samah Bay where you can climb from a floating pier over the rocks to an elevated wooden trail which leads to the beach at Maya Bay.
Here you can touch the white sand and dangle your feet into the turquoise water. You will have approximately 50 minutes to enjoy on one of the most stunning locations in Thailand, and if you lucky you can witness black tip reef sharks swimming in the shallows. Notable rules at Maya Bay include no swimming, no single-use plastics, using reef-safe sunscreen and no use of drones without permission. Please remember that the Mu Koh Phi Phi Marine Park will be closed every year for 2 months during low season.
Take spectacular photos of the 600 m long Phileh Lagoon framed by 100 m tall limestone cliffs or take an optional ride by a longtail boat to explore small coves at an extra fee.
Snorkel on the east side of Phi Phi Leh on coral reefs with crystal-clear waters and discover the exquisite corals.
Then slowly past Viking Cave to see where the Phi Phi birds nest soup are harvested.
As we cruise onward, get ready to be dazzled by Monkey Beach. This 150-meter gem, nestled on the southwestern shore of Tonsai Bay, boasts powdery white sand lapped by emerald waters. Lush vegetation climbs the cliffs behind the beach, creating a haven for a colony of monkeys. Keep your eyes peeled – at low tide, you might spot them playfully foraging for breakfast right on the shore. While we won't be stopping at the beach itself, this glimpse of paradise is sure to be a highlight.
Enjoy a rich Thai style lunch in Phi Phi Arida restaurant on Phi Phi Don. Please let us know your meal preferences in advance.
Free time to explore the island path of Ton Sai which offers average tourist facilities along the beautiful curved bays of Ton Sai and Loh Dalum Bay.
The last stop will be on the tiny and flat island named Koh Pai, which is also known as Bamboo Island. It is covered by lush vegetation and entirely surrounded by a strip of white sand and a reef that spreads up to 500 m from the shore. The uninhabited paradise location 5 km off the northern tip of Koh Phi Phi Don provides its masked and finned visitors with the feeling of swimming in an aquarium.

Accessibility

Good to know
- Thailand's Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation will close Maya Bay every year for 2 months in August and September
- Don't feed the monkeys as it makes them aggressive and stops them from foraging for food as they would normally do
- The tour program is subject to change due to weather & sea conditions
- Notable rules at Maya Bay include no swimming, no single-use plastics, using reef-safe sunscreen and no use of drones without permission
- While Monkey Beach isn't a direct stop, you can still observe the monkeys when the tide is low
- While the monsoon season (roughly May to October) brings increased jellyfish sightings due to water movement, these graceful creatures can appear year-round in the Andaman Sea. To ensure a safe and enjoyable swim, consider asking your tour guide
- Ensuring your safety is our top priority. To that end, we strongly recommend wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkeling.
Traveler reviews
Phi phi islands are a must-see! 🏝
I appreciate that they picked us up and dropped off at our hotel for this excursion. The tour guides were friendly and the sights were so beautiful. Maya Bay was a star of the show, but it is also very crowded as a result. But this didn't affect our ability to get beautiful pictures of the water. The pacing did not feel rushed, and the lunch served was delicious. I would recommend Sea Eagle Tours to friends and family.
Disappointed with the snorkelling and sad at pikes of rubbish.
Well organised but over tourism has really spoilt the islands. We wanted to snorkel as strong swimmers but there was only one stop where fish were visible amongst dead coral. Ludicrous situation at Bamboo Island where they insisted you wore a life jacket for snorkelling so we declined. Dozens of bobbing non swimmers soaked in sunscreen. Trash in piles all over Phi Phi and scavenging cats not attractive.
Stunning views
Great family experience. Good organization, punctuality and kindness in the Deal. Super recommended everything perfect
Squeezing the Phi Phi
We were 4 friends in Mr. Jackson's boat. Kai, Mr. Laea and Mr. Nat. with our guide Sali (crew#1111) What we liked was the organization of the day to squeeze the most out of the Phi Phi Islands. You should know that on this excursion you do both bathing and diving 🤿 and the team lends you the glasses and takes photos with a GoPro. You leave time for everything. A very good experience
Great time!
The whole crew including our guide, Gina was great. We did a private tour to Phi Phi and the surrounding islands as we had two elderly parents and two young children. It was definitely worth it. We didn't have to struggle for space as we noticed some of the bigger boats looked abit too crowded for our liking and it also meant the itinerary was more flexible e.g. if we wanted to move on quicker from some places or stay for longer. They were so sweet with my younger son and also very attentive when my father had an accident just before we got on the boat back. They had the necessary first aid kit required, cleaned the wound and bandaged my dad's arm well. Throughout the day, we had continuous snacks and drinks (very important for young kids!) and they also provided towels and snorkelling gears. The speedboat was kept clean all the time. Would not hesitate to use Sea Eagle Tours again.
