Itinerary

1

Pass by: Maya Bay is a stunningly beautiful bay that's sheltered by 100-metre high cliffs on three sides. Inside the bay there are several beaches, most are small and some only exist at low tide. The main one is around 200 metres long with silky soft white sand, underwater colourful coral and exotic fish in exceptionally clear water; the whole bay is one big reef.

Like the other islands in the archipelago, Phi Phi Don is a non-volcanic island largely made of limestone. It is almost separated into two islands, but a strand of flat land connects them. On this strand lies the largest settlement on the island, as well as most of the resorts.

3

Viking Cave is one of the most notable sites on Koh Phi Phi Leh. Located at the bottom of a tall limestone cliff on the northeastern side of the island. Known as Tham Phaya Nak in Thai, Viking Cave owes its name to the paintings found on the eastern southern walls of the cave: they represent various types of boats, including what resembles a Scandinavian drakkar. These paintings are certainly quite recent, and were possibly realised by sailors taking shelter in the cave during a storm.

Smooth and well organized.

Smooth sailing for those of us prone to sea sickness. Very well organized, and surprisingly excellent food at the lunch buffet. Snorkeling spot via short long boat ride was excellent. Transit to and from hotel flawless. Very well done!

We had an 11 hour trip,...

We had an 11 hour trip, we had only one stop and being on the boat for over 4 hours and only having 2 hours all up on the beach. There were no cold drinks on the boat and the tour guide was very hard to understand, we felt like sheep being herded from one boat to another. Certainly not as described on the phamlet, it was so disappointing that we are going to take another trip with another smaller tour guide to get the right experience

Very good choice , however with some areas of improvement

Very good experience , however lot of areas to improve. PROS :- 1. Excellent ferry 2. Not too crowded 3. Excellent resort and beach at Phi Phi Don island . 4. Well behaved staff 5. Timely pick up and drop Even better ifs :- 1. Spread of lunch can be enlarged and enhanced . 2. Too early pick up (7AM) . Most hotels in Ohuket do not serve breakfast by then . 3. In case of early pick up , breakfast should have been provided .
