What to expect

This activity starts From Phi Phi island and not Krabi’s mainland.

Explore the Phi Phi Islands’ most famous sights on this full day tour covering all the must-see spots including Shark Point, Bamboo Island, Mosquito Island, Nui Bay, Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pileh Lagoon, Loh Samah Bay, and Maya Bay. End the day with sunset views and a magical swim among glow in the dark plankton.

We’ll start the day with a snorkeling session at Shark Point. This swimming hole was named after the black-tipped baby sharks that swim around the area. Besides the sharks, you’ll also get to see schools of fish swimming in the blue waters.

Another popular snorkeling spot, Bamboo Island is a heart-shaped island covered in white sand and bamboo trees. You can wade in the shallow waters, swim in search of nearby marine life, or lay down on the shore for some R&R.

We’ll stop by Nui Bay, a small, sandy, picturesque alcove, before heading to Monkey Beach. As the name suggests, you’ll find many monkeys wandering around. You can stop to take a photo of the naughty primates and take a moment to admire the fantastic views of their home.

Next, we’ll make our way to the Viking Cave, a Pirates of the Caribbean-esque cave with historic paintings of ships on the walls. If we’re lucky, we might also spot a couple of birds’ nests, which are used by locals to make the Chinese delicacy. Then it’s on to Pileh Lagoon for some more swimming in the limestone-fringed emerald waters.

Our next stop is Loh Samah Bay, where we’ll jump into the cool waters for swimming and snorkeling. After that, we’ll board our boat and make our way to Maya Bay, a picturesque site of Hollywood fame surrounded by 100m tall cliffs. We’ll watch the sun set over the horizon, visit a hidden swimming spot, and wade around bioluminescent plankton – a truly magical and unforgettable experience.

Review for: Private Long-tail Boat Tour

Guide was flexible when we wanted to start slightly later than the planned starting time or wanted to stay at a certain location longer. Would recommend

Nice guide, but some language miscommunication. Sunset is beautiful. You can get a cheaper price ($100-200 hkd less per person) if you book on the island. They have many service providers. Overall, the experience is good.

Review for: Private Long-tail Boat Tour

Zero rating, giving 1 so review can be posted. It was worst experience of my 10+ years travel history. I booked the private trip for my anniversary but went wrong in all way. First the speed need maintenance as it running externally slow. All other longtail Boats crossing us on the way that is the reason it was taking double of the time to reach the each destination. I trust due to this issue boat captain was taking the decision by own and not following the plan which is described in the site. He directly visited the Bamboo Island without asking us. When we asked is it shark point then he told after Bamboo Island he will go Shark point. But after Bamboo Island he informed us that Sharks are only available in the morning so he will directly go to Maya bay now. Then why didn't he go to the Shark point in the morning if sharks only available in the morning. He also skipped Monkey beach, Nui bay & Mosquito Island and Viking cave. After reaching Pi Leh Lagoon he told us to finish within 5 minutes and at the time of watching Plankton I wish him to go to the water but he did not put down the ladder in the water so we can step down as we miss this opportunity. His boat surely needs maintenance and running externally slow. In the 8 hours trip we were hardly on the ground for 2.5 hours. He took the 5.5 hours to reach 4 point. After raising concern to Klook Trip Guru shared fake comments to Klook. I recommend to choose the Trip Guru tours if you would like to spoil your trip and waste money.

Not worth it. We just went to three isalnds. Waves were too high, it became a dangerous ride to the Maya bay. The captain was quite reckless about our safety. Totally not recommended during May to October.
