Things to do in Monkey Bay

A great one-day experience visiting famous islands and popular tourist attractions in Krabi and Phuket. The guide provided helpful information throughout the trip. It was a shared boat tour with a buffet lunch included. The pace was relaxed and enjoyable, with no need to rush. Highly recommended!

Exceptional Island Day Trip – Unforgettable Experience with Boat #12! ​Highlights of the Tour ​Outstanding Crew & Guide: Huge shoutout to Pola—easily the best tour guide out there—and the incredible crew on Boat #12. Having done this full-day trip once before, this crew made my second time truly exceptional. ​Extremely Toddler-Friendly: The crew went above and beyond to take extra care of my 2-year-old son, making travel effortless for us and even helping him swim safely in the sea. ​Seamless Logistics: On-time hotel pickup and drop-off made the whole day completely stress-free. ​Delicious Food & Refreshments: Generous, quality options throughout the day, including a great breakfast, fantastic lunch, fresh fruits, and endless drinks. ​Pro Tip for First-Timers ​Book the Catamaran: If it's your first time taking this trip, definitely book the catamaran option—the extra stability makes for a much smoother and more comfortable ride on the water.

Sawanu travel was the local operator and it was amazing. Everybody was really really mindful and thoughtful and the quality of the entire trip was really commendable. will recommend this to everyone!! they have something for everyone - couples, solo, family

i had wonderful tour with this one. i got upgraded (from this one to become phi phi & 4 islands sunset tour) by the provider at d-1, really appreciate the complimentary! everything is perfect and they are on time and follow the itinerary as per list provided (subject to weather of course). the tour guide and staffs above deck was very friendly and helpful. the speedboat was cool! the lunch was amazing, they even support a vegetarian meal. after lunch we had multiple snacks on board including fruits. i am even allowed to experience clear kayak boat in the middle of ko kai (chicken island) snorkling session without additional cost. unfortunately the maya bay was closed by government for ecological reason until oct 1st 2026, but luckily we are allowed to see it from boat and take some documentation. overall this is an amazing and safe tour package!

It was very well organised activity. Our guides Peter n Michael were very good n helpful. Special shout out to Captain for getting us back safely through the high seas. Will definitely recommend others and also will like to come again

our group really enjoyed the boat tour! we got direct pick up from our resort (Panan Krabi Resort). itinerary: we didn’t stop at the maya bay since it was closed but our guide extended our lunch period so we were able to walk around the beach that we had lunch at and spent more time in bamboo island for more swimming and lounging. it was a great experience especially for someone who’s not a good swimmer (wear your lifejacket). scenic views on board: one point to add is if you’re in the jumbo size boat, it’s hard get a view during stopovers or entire ride if you’re sitting in the back. if you mainly there for the activities like swimming and snorkelling you don’t need to sit at the front (also can be too “bumpy bumpy” as per our guide 😂).

OMG this was amazing! We had the best day on this tour! Transfers to and from the hotel in very comfortable transport. From start to finish we could not have had better hospitality from our guides! We were very safe in their hands and the guides were so friendly and welcoming, helpful and informative. The guides ensured we were well looked after and we were offered drinks and snacks all day with a fantastic buffet lunch at the end of our boat cruise. The boat felt very comfortable and well maintained, staff were very aware of remaining safe. The sites were indescribable and we had lots of time to explore, take pictures and swim. I snorkeled for the first time ever and the guide was so patiently teaching me how and ensuring I felt comfortable. Such a great experience that I will do again next visit to Phuket and would highly recommend.

Boat condition: Clean and tidy. They provided drinks at every scenic spot, and even watermelon at the end. Scenery from the boat: Mostly ocean and rock formations. Tour guides: Very energetic. I remember there were two guides, the female one was called Sexy (she said our group was the 'Sexy Family'), and the male one was O. It happened to be raining that day, and O was super hyper, dancing on Bamboo Island. O was also very dedicated to helping us take photos. Safety: Snorkeling included life vests, so it wasn't dangerous. Itinerary: During snorkeling, the guide wore flippers and pulled a large floating board. We held onto the board and put our heads down to look at the fish. There was only one snorkeling session, but it was enough. There weren't a huge number of fish, but there were some, along with many sea urchins and even clownfish. I didn't see the clownfish myself, but the guide took my phone underwater and photographed them for me to see. They were very cute swimming around the coral. Additionally, there was one part of the itinerary where some people paid the guide extra to go up onto a wooden boat for photos. We didn't pay extra, so we just jumped into the sea to swim (wearing life vests).

Fantastic day trip with an outstanding crew! This full-day tour of the Phi Phi Islands was a major highlight for us. The itinerary was beautiful. Our guide’s name is Sky, she was an outstanding guide, and the entire team did a wonderful job. They were so attentive and hospitable, making sure everyone was comfortable, yet they ran the whole operation with total professionalism. Thank you Sky and the team for a perfect day!
