Phuket Sail Tours markets this as an early departure: the FAQ says the boat leaves ahead of other Phi Phi operators specifically to reach Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon and Monkey Beach before the crowds. Landing at Maya Bay itself isn’t guaranteed: the listing is explicit that it depends on weather, tide and park conditions on the day, with a view from the boat as the fallback rather than a seasonal closure. The rest of the route covers Pileh Lagoon for swimming and snorkelling, a pass by Viking Cave, monkey beaches, lunch at Phi Phi Don, a second snorkel stop, and Bamboo Island to finish.

There’s no hotel pickup listed among the inclusions: the day starts at the marina itself with registration, a light breakfast and a toilet break, so travelers need to get themselves there. Snorkel gear, bottled water, soft drinks, tea, coffee and lunch are included. Group size is listed at 18 people, and the day runs 9 hours.

Watch out: hotel pickup isn’t included. The listing has travelers meet the boat directly at the marina rather than including a hotel transfer. Maya Bay landing also isn’t guaranteed; on rough days, the stop becomes a view from the boat instead.

Key Facts:
  • Duration: 9 hours
  • Group size: Max 18 people (per listing)
  • Includes: snorkel gear, lunch, snacks, bottled water, soft drinks, tea and coffee
  • Meeting point: Self-arrival at the marina (no hotel pickup listed)
  • Cancellation: Free up to 24 hours before departure

Frequently Asked Questions

Why leave early?
The boat departs ahead of other operators so you see Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, and Monkey Beach before the crowds arrive.

Max 18 adults, even though the boat is licensed for over 30. That gives everyone more deck space than a typical Phi Phi tour.
Will I definitely land at Maya Bay?
Only if weather, tide, and park conditions permit. If not, you'll view the bay from the boat, a daily call based on safety.

Lunch at a beachside restaurant on Phi Phi Don, plus snacks, coffee, tea, bottled water, and carbonated drinks on board.
