Cut across the Andaman on a private speedboat to Bamboo Island, Maya Bay and Pi Leh Lagoon. This 7–8 hour trip from Phuket blends snorkeling at vibrant reefs with sightseeing at Maya Bay and Monkey Beach — all on a customizable itinerary.
You step onto the low-slung speedboat before dawn, engine humming like a readying animal, and the silhouette of Phuket slips astern. The sea ahead opens in a ribbon of blue; limestone cliffs of Ko Phi Phi rise like weathered fortresses that the tide constantly redraws. On this private run you’ll cut through glassy water toward Bamboo Island’s sugar-white sand, drift through Pi Leh Lagoon’s green light, and circle the cliffs that shaped Maya Bay’s fame.

You step onto the low-slung speedboat before dawn, engine humming like a readying animal, and the silhouette of Phuket slips astern. The sea ahead opens in a ribbon of blue; limestone cliffs of Ko Phi Phi rise like weathered fortresses that the tide constantly redraws. On this private run you’ll cut through glassy water toward Bamboo Island’s sugar-white sand, drift through Pi Leh Lagoon’s green light, and circle the cliffs that shaped Maya Bay’s fame.
Geology here is dramatic: towering karst limestone formed from coral and marine sediments, eroded into sheer faces and hidden caves. Phi Phi’s cultural story is maritime — fishing villages, migrant seafarers and, more recently, tourism shaped by the 2000 film The Beach. Viking Cave’s paintings and old guano-harvesting sites speak to livelihoods older than the dive flags.
Expect clear snorkeling sites with staghorn and brain corals, shallow reefs dotted with wrasse and blacktip reef sharks, and curious long-tailed macaques at Monkey Beach. The crew provides life jackets and snorkel gear; a private skipper lets you tailor stops — early mornings reduce traffic, late afternoons soften the light for photos.
Practical note: this is a 7–8 hour day with round-trip pickup from Phuket; lunch on Phi Phi Don is extra. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a swim shirt, water shoes, and motion-sickness remedies if you’re sensitive. Follow your guide’s briefing, respect no-go zones in Maya Bay and Pi Leh, and keep a small dry bag for camera gear. With a private boat you get flexibility — use it to seek calmer coves or linger where the fish gather.
Basic swimming ability is recommended for snorkeling stops; life jackets are provided and crew assist less confident swimmers.
Access to Maya Bay is regulated; small boats often stop at viewing points or limited beach access may be available depending on current conservation rules and closures.
The tour includes seasonal fruit, soft drinks, coffee, tea and snacks; a beachside lunch on Phi Phi Don is available at additional cost.
Yes — private round-trip transfers from anywhere in Phuket are typically offered; confirm pickup location and time when booking.
