TOUR DEPARTURE AND DURATION
One day trip, departing at 6:30 am, is the longest and allows you to have a longer time in each location and extra snorkeling spot. It covers all three islands in Koh Phi Phi with plenty of time for snorkeling and exploring.
Please note there is no sunshine on Maya Beach before 8:00 am and the beach is in a mountain shade (for photo purposes). But it will be the least busy time of the day so you can enjoy the beach more.
8:30 departure is a shorter trip and perfect for those who get easily tired in the heat and for those who prefer less snorkeling. There is one snorkeling stop and the rest of the tour you can enjoy the beaches and swimming in the lagoon. For the 8:30 departure, there will be already more people on Maya Beach, but also the beach will be lit but sunshine for those of you who are wishing for more vivid colors and better photo and video opportunities. However, more people will be coming to the beach at this time.
HALF-DAY TRIP option
For Half day trip, we do not visit the north part of Phi Phi Don, or Bamboo Island. The trip will cover 4 locations around Phi Phi Lay Island, starting with Maya Beach, Loh Samah, Lagoon, Viking Cave, and Monkey Beach.
This fantastic tour is run by a speedboat which allows you to enjoy longer in each location and have only shorter breaks when we island-hop. You will have an amazing day in paradise while making new friends. This trip departs from Phi Phi island (Tonsai Bay). If you wish to start your trip from Phuket, please book our ONE-DAY TRIP FROM PHUKET.

↓ IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING YOUR TRIP ↓
WE CAN NOT CONTROL THE WEATHER. All tour programs and itinerary orders can be changed depending on the weather, wind and tide. All our itineraries and programs are only suggestions and ideas. However, the captain has to check during the day if possible to follow. Your SAFETY is our main priority, and if waves are too big there might be a change of program. From May to November there is an official monsoon season in the south of Thailand. In case of rain before your trip or at the time of the departure, you can cancel and get a full refund, or change for another day (if available). Once you start your trip, we can not provide any refund or partial refund, or change.
We can not predict the weather and it can change suddenly. If you think bad weather would ruin your trip, please reconsider booking a trip with us. Thailand has a tropical climate that can not be predicted. We can not provide any compensation for rainy weather or change in locations. During monsoon season most days, the boat trip does not visit the east side of Phi Phi Don (Wang Long Bay and Nui Bay). On some windy days, we can not get to Bamboo Island as the island is a bit further from the main island. We do not offer a refund if the boat can not get to Bamboo Island or other locations during the trip due to strong wind. Another aspect that may affect your trip is the tide. During very low tide, boats can not get to the lagoon, and during high tide there is no beach in Monkey Beach. Please keep all this in mind when making reservations with us.
WE CAN NOT CONTROL THE NATURE. We can not affect if there will be any monkeys on Monkey Beach, Sharks, or jellyfish in the sea. We live on a beautiful island surrounded by beautiful nature which is wild and unpredictable. On some days we see monkeys, small sharks, turtles, or even dolphins. Some days we don’t see any monkeys, the visibility underwater is not good, and snorkeling is not so great. This is nature and we can not predict, or compensate for any lack of wild animals or nature phenomena. Some days we see a lot of plankton, and some days none, it can not be predicted.
Children below 3 years are free of charge. Children 10 years and older are full price. Speedboats are not suitable for pregnant women. Please check with your GP.
REFUND POLICY: Our refund policy is a 100% refund if canceled up until 1 month of the date you are booked to come and 50% if you cancel between 48h and 1 month before the date of your trip. Cancelation of your booking less than 48 hours before or no show is no refund. In the unlikely event that we need to cancel due to bad weather, we will attempt to reschedule or offer you a full refund.
