Phuket: Phi Phi Island Tour with Lunch & Hotel Transfer

Morning: Private Hotel Transfer and Departure Your day begins with a private transfer from your hotel in Phuket to the marina. A comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle will pick you up at your specified time, ensuring a stress-free start to your adventure. Upon arrival at the marina, you’ll board a speedboat, ready to whisk you away to the Phi Phi Islands.

Mid-Morning: Arrival at Phi Phi Leh and Maya Bay The speedboat ride from Phuket to Phi Phi Islands takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour, depending on sea conditions. Your first stop is usually Phi Phi Leh, the smaller of the two main Phi Phi Islands. Here, you’ll visit the famous Maya Bay, made popular by the movie “The Beach.” The bay is surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and crystal-clear waters, making it a perfect spot for photos, swimming, and snorkeling.

Exploring Viking Cave and Pileh Lagoon After Maya Bay, your tour will likely include a visit to Viking Cave, known for its ancient cave paintings and as a nesting site for swallows. Following this, the boat will take you to Pileh Lagoon, a stunning emerald-green lagoon surrounded by cliffs. Here, you can jump off the boat for a swim in the calm, clear waters, or simply relax and take in the breathtaking scenery.

Late Morning: Snorkeling at Loh Samah Bay or Monkey Beach The tour continues with a stop at Loh Samah Bay or Monkey Beach, depending on the tour operator’s itinerary. At Loh Samah Bay, you’ll have another opportunity to snorkel among colorful corals and fish. Monkey Beach, as the name suggests, is home to a population of playful monkeys, offering a unique experience as you interact with them (from a safe distance).

Lunch on Phi Phi Don Around midday, you’ll head to Phi Phi Don, the larger of the two main islands. Here, you’ll enjoy a buffet lunch at a beachfront restaurant, with a variety of Thai and international dishes. After lunch, you’ll have some free time to explore the island’s shops, relax on the beach, or take in the lively atmosphere of Ton Sai Bay.

Afternoon: Bamboo Island or Khai Island After lunch and some relaxation, your speedboat will take you to another nearby island, often Bamboo Island or Khai Island, depending on the tour. Bamboo Island is known for its soft white sands and crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Khai Island is another excellent spot for snorkeling and enjoying the vibrant marine life.

Late Afternoon: Return to Phuket As the afternoon draws to a close, you’ll board the speedboat for the return trip to Phuket. The journey back offers more scenic views of the Andaman Sea and the surrounding islands. Upon arrival at the marina, your private vehicle will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel in Phuket, concluding your day of island-hopping adventure.

This tour offers a fantastic mix of sightseeing, snorkeling, and relaxation, allowing you to experience the natural beauty of the Phi Phi Islands in comfort and style.
