This eight-to-nine-hour speedboat trip opens at Green Island for an hour of snorkelling before running south to Maya Bay, the cliff-ringed bay used in “The Beach”. The stop there runs about 40 minutes; the bay closes every August and September to protect young reef sharks, so expect a different route if you’re travelling then. Buffet lunch follows at a beachside restaurant on Phi Phi Don (halal options are available) with free time on the sand afterwards.
The afternoon leg covers Loh Samah Bay, a snorkelling stop on the sheltered side of Koh Phi Phi Leh opposite Maya Bay, then a slow pass by Viking Cave. The cave entrance itself is closed to visitors, but the boat cruises past the swiftlet-nest cliffs. The day wraps at Monkey Beach, where a resident troop of long-tailed macaques works the shoreline. Groups run up to 40 people with an English-speaking guide, and tea and coffee are served on board.
Snorkelling gear and life jackets are provided; the 400 THB national park fee (200 THB for children) is paid on the day and isn’t included in the price. Bring a photo of your passport’s information page. It’s needed for the trip insurance. Optional extras like jet skiing and banana boat rides at Phi Phi Don cost more on top.
- Duration: 8-9 hours
- Group size: Max 40 people

Watch out: Maya Bay closes every August and September to let the ecosystem recover, so this stop may be swapped for an alternative if you’re booking during those months.
Itinerary
Depart from pier to Green Island. Arrive at Green Island to enjoy Snorkeling. Take in the characteristic magnificence of beautiful tall limestone precipices around you.
After an hour, you will arrive at Maya Bay Phi Phi Islands, a stunningly beautiful bay sheltered by 100-metre high cliffs on three sides. Usually Maya Bay is closed during August and September in order to save the baby Shark
Arrive at Phi Phi Don Island. Have Buffet Lunch at beachside restaurant (Halal Food available). Free time on Phi Phi Don for exploring.
The next stop is Loh Samah Bay, in the southern part of Koh Phi Phi Leh island. It is on the opposite side of the island from Maya Bay. The location is a popular snorkelling site on Koh Phi Phi Leh, the second-largest island of the Koh Phi Phi archipelago. Loh Samah can be easily reached by boat and usually serves as one of the stops during a day trip to the Phi Phi islands.
After a while, the boat arrives at Viking Cave, one of the most notable sites on Koh Phi Phi Leh. Visiting Viking Cave also allows you to discover one of the most profitable local industries: the hunting/harvesting of swiftlet birds’ nests. Particularly prized in Chinese culture, these edible nests are believed to promote good health and are specifically suitable for the skin. Entrance inside the cave is now closed to visitors but the boat passes by on the tour.
If there is one thing that makes the holidays even more exciting, it is the guarantee that there will be cute animals to play with. Fortunately, that is no problem on Monkey Beach in Koh Phi Phi, where the monkeys live freely. This location has everything you expect from it: beautiful, warm, and cheeky. Long-tailed macaque troops own the beach, for real.
