Phi Phi Avoid The Crowds: Morning Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon & Snorkel

As the name says “Avoid the crowds”, it really means it. We were right there at Maya Bay, 7:00AM sharp, the moment it opens and were the first ones to visit the island that day. It was a real beauty. Had a great time at the beach, just walking and clicking pictures. After which we did snorkelling, didnt found it much better but yes should experience it once. The tour ended with visiting monkey island which was just OK. The guide gave us good tips and guided everything about the islands, while also clicked good pictures for the tourists holding the speedboat in an amazing surroundings.

Overall, it was a very good day. We arrived at Maya Bay so early that we managed to take some lovely photos before the crowds arrived. The lunch was quite small and on Bamboo Island we needed life jackets for swimming which weren’t delivered by the company. However, the boat was in excellent condition and snorkelling kits were provided on the spot. We snorkelled three times.

Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and shared plenty of fun facts. It was great getting to Maya beach early, basically had the beach to ourselves and even saw some baby sharks. A great tour!

Loved the whole experience. Maya Bay was stunning and not crowded, we got an amazing photo spot. Loved the snorkeling experience and the guide was really friendly and helpful.

For around 1,500 THB (including the 400 THB Maya Bay entrance fee), I think this is a great deal! I heard that Maya Bay is less crowded early in the morning, so I chose this half-day tour departing at 7:30 am. The itinerary was originally Maya Bay first, then Pileh Lagoon, but on the day, it was Pileh Lagoon first, then Maya Bay. At Pileh Lagoon, the speedboat got stuck in the shallows, and we had to wait for more than an hour until the tide came in. As a result, by the time we arrived at Maya Bay, there were a lot of people (laughs). They changed the schedule and we only took photos of Monkey Bay without landing, and the Viking Cave was canceled, but I think Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon are the main attractions, so I was quite satisfied. Personally, I thought a full-day tour would be too long, so I would recommend this half-day tour.

Wonderful experience, I honestly recommend only half a day, as a full day is very tiring. In any case, you will do everything in half a day, it just doesn't include lunch, and instead of snorkeling twice, you will only do it once.

船上風景：beautiful trip, must go on the first landing in maya bay, not crowded 行程安排：after first maya bay, lagoon can get in water swimming also have snorkeling at the other place , I think 40-45 mins in the water is plenty enough

it was such a wonderful trip they have promised us that we will be the very first boat and we were the very 1st to reach maybay the Captain the Co-ordinator that Sea man was just awesome and most importantly they have taken good care of hydration of the people on the boat as there are ample amount of water and pepsi so Kudos to this tour company i just loved it

Please do not book this tour from Klook. There are so many local tour operators in Phi Phi Island, and they took a much lower price than Klook. Also our tour guide was very bad. He was not helpful and does not clearly tell anything. Only good thing for our tour was the provided food was good. Whether you book from Klook or from a local operator, please go for the morning tour. In the sunset tour you will find too much rush in Maya Bay. The Tour starts with Maya Bay, then a snorkeling point, then Pileh Lagoon, Monkey Beach and that's it for a half day tour. And for a full day tour, after these points they go to Bamboo Island where lunch is provided, then another snorkeling point and return to Ton Sai Pier. So Itinerary was fully followed.

amazing, loved every second of it. The guides are nice and helpful, the nature is beautiful. Thanks
