Planning

Historical Context

Archaeological findings suggest Phi Phi was inhabited since prehistoric times. The name 'Phi Phi' originates from the Malay 'Pulau Api-Api' (Fiery Isle) due to the grey mangroves.

Photography Tips

  • Use a polarizing filter to cut water glare
  • Bring a GoPro for underwater shots
  • Morning light is best for Maya Bay (faces west, but cliffs cast shadows early)
  • Afternoon light hits Pileh Lagoon beautifully

Insider Tips

  • Sit at the back of the speedboat for a smoother ride
  • Bring a waterproof bag for your phone
  • Don't feed the monkeys - they can be aggressive
  • Apply sunscreen *before* getting on the boat

Our Partners

  • In partnership with Sea Eagle Tour, Wangsai Speedboat, and other top-rated local providers

Fun Facts

  • Maya Bay was closed for nearly 4 years to let the coral recover
  • The movie 'The Beach' starring Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed here in 2000
  • Phi Phi Don is the only inhabited island in the group

Cancellation Policy

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts (local time). Full refund for cancellations due to poor weather conditions decided by the operator.

Highlight of our Thailand trip!

The speedboat ride was thrilling and the scenery at Pileh Lagoon was unreal. Our guide 'Woody' was fantastic and made sure everyone was safe and happy. Lunch was delicious too!

Stunning but busy

Maya Bay is exactly like the postcards. It was crowded, but the organization was great. The snorkeling stop had so many fish! Highly recommend booking the early bird option if you can.

Great day out

Everything ran on time. The boat was clean and the crew was helpful. The only downside was the waiting time at the pier in the morning, but the islands made up for it.

Professional and fun

We booked the semi-private tour to avoid crowds. Worth every penny. The snorkeling gear was good quality and we saw a turtle! Best day in Krabi.

Beautiful islands

Vegetarian food options were good during the lunch buffet. The sea was a bit rough on the way back, so take motion sickness pills if you need them. Bamboo Island was my favorite.

Must do in Krabi

You cannot come to Krabi and miss Phi Phi. The water color is unbelievable. Just remember to bring cash for the national park fees!

Good value

For the price, this tour includes a lot. Speedboat, lunch, water, fruit, and snorkeling gear. The guides were funny and kept the energy up all day.
