Overview

Phi Phi is the trip most people come to Phuket for, and the difference between a great day and a crowded one is timing and boat size. We leave before the big boats on a speedboat capped at 12 guests.

You'll snorkel twice, walk Maya Bay (when open), and eat lunch on Phi Phi Don.

Highlights

• Maya Bay landing (1 October to 31 July)
• Snorkelling at Pileh Lagoon and Bamboo Island
