A full-day longtail boat circuit of the Phi Phi islands that combines snorkeling at Pi Leh and Shark Point, beach time on Bamboo Island and Maya Bay sightseeing, finishing with a sunset and optional bioluminescent plankton swim.
A full-day longtail boat circuit of the Phi Phi islands that combines snorkeling at Pi Leh and Shark Point, beach time on Bamboo Island and Maya Bay sightseeing, finishing with a sunset and optional bioluminescent plankton swim.
You step off the longtail as the sun warms the Andaman Sea and the boat’s bow parts a ribbon of turquoise; limestone cliffs jut from the water like ancient walls, and the day stretches wide with beaches and coves to explore. The rhythm here is salt, paddle and wind — islands that invite you into shallow lagoons and coral gardens where fish dart like living confetti.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step off the longtail as the sun warms the Andaman Sea and the boat’s bow parts a ribbon of turquoise; limestone cliffs jut from the water like ancient walls, and the day stretches wide with beaches and coves to explore. The rhythm here is salt, paddle and wind — islands that invite you into shallow lagoons and coral gardens where fish dart like living confetti.
This loop hits iconic Phi Phi Leh (Maya Bay), Pi Leh Lagoon and Loh Samah, plus quieter stops at Monkey Beach and Bamboo Island. Geologically, the islands are karst limestone rising from a shallow shelf; tides expose dramatic cliffs and create sheltered lagoons ideal for snorkeling. Viking Cave carries cultural weight — local cave-swift nest harvesting is an age-old practice that fed regional trade (and controversy).
Expect bright-white sand, clear visibility in the high season, and reef flats populated by parrotfish, anemones and, occasionally, blacktip reef sharks. Guides typically lay out a midday stop for lunch on deck, a couple of two-hour beach rests, and a slow return timed for sunset — the tour extends into dusk for a plankton-lit night swim when conditions permit.
Practical essentials: arrive at the Ton Sai/Marlin Statue check-in on time, bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a snug snorkel mask or use the provided gear, and a lightweight waterproof bag for electronics. Seas can be calm in the dry season and choppy during monsoon months — motion‑sickness remedies are smart for sensitive travelers. Respect closed areas like prior Maya Bay restrictions and follow your guide to minimize impact while enjoying one of the Andaman’s most dramatic island circuits.
Check in at the Marlin Statue near Ao Ton Sai Pier between the listed windows and arrive at least 15 minutes early; exact pickup times may be emailed before departure.
No expert skills required, but you should be comfortable in open water and able to swim short distances; life jackets are provided.
Yes—basic snorkeling masks and life jackets are included, though many travelers prefer bringing their own mask for fit and hygiene reasons.
No—the bioluminescent swim is weather and visibility dependent and may be skipped if conditions aren’t safe or luminous concentrations are low.
