Overview

Phi Phi Islands Speedboat Tour from Koh Yao Yai

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.

Information for all keen divers, Phi Phi Islands Diving Tour combines 2 tanks diving and sightseeing part so do not miss the chance to book this convenient offer.

All 12 seats are located under the bimini roof in the shade, with a sundeck for 6 people. You can securely leave your rental motorbike at the pier.

Maya Bay - photoshoot, snorkeling

Famous for being the filming location of movie The Beach starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Maya Bay is a stunning spot. Our first snorkeling opportunity is between the boat and the tiny beach. After about 30 minutes of snorkeling, we’ll take a 10-minute walk from Loh Sama Bay pier to the other side of the island, where you’ll be greeted by breathtaking views of Maya Beach. Please note that swimming from the beach is not allowed. Total time spend there is about 40 minutes. Here you have to pay NP fee at the entrance, 400 THB in cash.

Pileh Bay - swimming

We’ll cruise into this spectacular bay, surrounded by towering rock formations. The water here is among the clearest azure you’ll ever see—truly postcard-perfect. We will serve lunch during our stay here mixed with swimming behind the boat in safe zone.

Viking Cave - sightseeing

Located on the northeastern tip of the island, Viking Cave is known for its valuable swiftlets' nests, used in the traditional Chinese delicacy, bird's-nest soup.

Monkey Beach - snorkeling, beach time

Located on the west side of Phi Phi Don, Monkey Beach is a fun spot to observe and feed the monkeys that play along the cliffs and on the beach. For keen snorkelers it is another opportunity to explore the area and look for fish and corals.

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) – 800 THB for 1-4 people (15 mins. drive)
  • North of Koh Yao Yai (Anantara, Koh Yao Yai Village, Hillside resort, Thiwson, Baan Taranya – 800 THB for 1-4 people (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.
