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.
Receive a short briefing and instructions by the boat crew. You will also be notified about the sea and weather conditions.
Check in with boat crew at the small booth at Nopparat Thara Pier.
If you stay at Railay Beach, we will pick you up directly from the meeting point at Railay Beach.
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.
Cruise over to Koh Phi Phi Leh on a comfortable speed boat with a limited number of 45 seats.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Enjoy a rich Thai style lunch in Phi Phi Arida restaurant on Phi Phi Don. Please let us know your meal preferences in advance.

Good to know
- Thailand's Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation will close Maya Bay every year for 2 months during low season
- 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
- 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
- While Monkey Beach isn't a direct stop, you can still observe the monkeys when the tide is low
- 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
Best tour you can take!
What an amazing experience! This tour was INCREDIBLE from start to finish. Our guide was Fay and she was the best guide we’ve had for any tour. She kept us safe, always was attentive, and sharp!
Great day
Great day on the boat with Cookie and crew. Picked up right in time and taken to the harbor where we boarded the boat and got out on the water to the islands. Cookie was great and since we had a private tour took us to the spots we wanted as we wanted to snorkel more than seeing the islands. Bring a few beers if you want to drink.
Well organised trip
We went on a full day speed boat trip covering Phi Phi Island. They took us to all the great spots, except Maya Bay. It was too dangerous to go to Maya Bay with huge waves. Very well organised trip including safe spots for swimming and snorkeling. Good buffet lunch included.
Awesome experience with Sea Eagle Tour
The experience was awesome. Sea eagle tour is great. The tour guide especially Salli is very attentive, informative, jolly and made everything fun. We saw the beauty of Phi Phi Island and enjoyed the whole adventure.
Wow!!! The highlight of...
Wow!!! The highlight of our trip. Mei and the crew were fantastic. If you are debating whether to do the private tour-dont think twice. This is the way to do it and worth paying the extra money. We could do everything at our own pace, spend as little or as much time at each place and not be restricted by the schedule of the larger groups.
