Overview

Phi Phi Islands Speedboat Tour from Koh Yao Yai - Wednesday, Friday, Sunday

Phi Phi Islands Speedboat Tour from Koh Yao Yai brings you to a small archipelago of six islands in the Andaman Sea. It is one of the most beautiful yet easily accessible island groups in the world. The islands came to worldwide prominence when Maya Beach was a location in the movie The Beach starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Without a doubt it is a superstar among Thailand’s islands.

Phi Phi Islands adventurous excursion covers everything. Therefore people snorkel and explore marine life, swim in the blue lagoons or just enjoy scenic views. Phi Phi is a great place to do your PADI Discover Scuba Dive. Occasionally people see turtle or shark on their very first dive and fall into love with diving! Phi Phi is undoubtedly the best snorkeling place with plenty of colourful marine life just few meters under the water surface.

Of the two islands, one is completely free of human inhabitants, and the other is without roads, but offers huge entertainment possibilities. Phi Phi was devastated by the Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 2004, when nearly all of the island’s infrastructure was destroyed.

Maya Bay was closed in 2018 after a sharp rise in visitors had severely damaged the environment. At this time tourists are back due to the successful ecosystem recovering process.

All 14 seats are under the bimini roof in the shade. There is a sundeck with capacity for 6 people. You can leave your rental motorbike at the pier.

Koh Bida Nok - snorkeling

These two small rock islands are best snorkeling spots in Phi Phi archipelago thus in Thailand. Jump into the water in the safe zone and look for black tip reef sharks and admire coral reef.

Maya Bay - photoshoot

Charming place where the movie “The Beach” with Leonardo DiCaprio was shot. That is our first snorkeling spot between the boat and tiny beach in the bay. After about one hour of snorkeling we walk through the island for about 10 minutes from Loh Sama bay pier to another side to Maya beach itself. It suddenly opens up spectacular view into the bay. Swimming is not allowed from the beach.

Pileh Lagoon - swimming and lunch time

We slowly cruise into fabulous lagoon with high rocks above us. The water inside this beautiful lagoon is of the most crystal clear azure waters you may have ever seen. It is famous photo scenery from postcards. We serve lunch during the stay here.

Viking Cave - snorkeling

On the northeastern tip of the island, Viking Cave is a major collection point for outrageously valuable swifts' nests, the key components of the Chinese specialty bird's-nest soup. 

Monkey Beach

Monkey beach is located on the west side of Phi Phi Don, an excellent spot to feed the monkeys who hang off the cliffs or walk on the beach.

FAQs

How do I get to your office? Is the pick up included in the price of the trip?

Roundtrip transfer is not included in the price.

  • Elixir resort – 400 THB (5 mins. drive)
  • Loh Pared Beach Area (Santhiya Resort, Royal Yao Yai, Blue Bay resort, Yao Yai Resort) – 700 THB (15 mins. drive)
  • North of Koh Yao Yai (Anantara, Koh Yao Yai Village, Hillside resort, Thiwson, Baan Taranya – 800 THB (25 mins. drive)

Price of the transfer is always roundtrip and is per car. We split the costs, if there are more guests from the same area. Please send us resort name and your room number to arrange the transfer and pick up.

We recommend renting a motorbike to come to our office (250 THB/day). There is very little traffic on Koh Yao Yai and motorbike is also great way to explore the island.

Why should I book speedboat tour instead of longtail boat tour?

Very common question. However longtail boat experience is one of the highlights in Thailand we recommend to do shorter trips by longtail boat like Koh Hong tour. It takes 1,5 hour just to get to Phi Phi and 1,5 hour to get back. You spend more time by transportation than enjoying the area itself. 

Therefore Phi Phi Islands tour by speedboat is faster (45 mins one way) with comfortable cushion seating and more space on boat. It's a long day and it can be convenient to have marine toilet on board as well. Easy access from the sea to boat for older people. 

Lastly, yes it is join tour, but in small groups 6-14 people what people like about it. Travellers appreciate it when they see other companies with 20-40 people on board. 

Definitely value for money.
