After a scenic cruise from Ao Nam Mao Pier, our first spectacular stop is Bamboo Island (Koh Mai Phai). Widely considered one of the most stunning islands within the protected Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, this pristine tropical paradise is the perfect place to kick off our ocean adventure. We will spend about an hour here, giving you plenty of time to immerse yourself in its untouched natural beauty

Bamboo Island

The "Maldives of Thailand" in the Heart of the Andaman

Bamboo Island is world-famous for its breathtaking powdery white sand beach that stretches seamlessly around the entire island, feeling as soft as flour under your feet. The vibrant turquoise and emerald water is so incredibly crystal-clear that you can peer straight down to the sandy ocean floor with perfect clarity.

Recommended Activities on Bamboo Island
Whether you are an adventure seeker or a beach lounger, this tropical escape has something perfect for you:

Maya Bay

The Paradise You’ve Always Dreamed Of

To protect the delicate marine ecosystem and minimize environmental impact on the main beach, all boats dock at the designated pier at the back of the island inside Loh Samah Bay. Once we safely secure our boat, we will take a short, easy walk across the island along a beautifully constructed wooden boardwalk. This brief nature trail leads you straight to the jaw-dropping, world-famous shoreline of Maya Bay waiting on the other side.

This dream beach destination is spectacularly sheltered by towering, vertical limestone cliffs. It boasts a powdery-white sand beach that is ultra-fine like flour, and pristine emerald-green waters that are wonderfully crystal-clear. It is a breathtaking masterpiece of nature that is truly beyond words.

Today, Maya Bay stands as a proud model for eco-tourism and environmental conservation. While you are welcome to explore, take photos, and stroll along the gorgeous shoreline, swimming directly in front of the beach is strictly prohibited to allow the marine ecosystem to recover sustainably.

As a reward for these conservation efforts, you will witness nature in its most vibrant, untouched state. Plus, keep your eyes peeled—you might even get a magical chance to spot wild blacktip reef sharks cruising peacefully through the crystal-clear shallows right near the shore!

Leaving the busy crowds of Maya Bay behind, we continue our private journey by cruising closely along the majestic limestone cliffs of Koh Phi Phi Leh, heading north toward the historic Viking Cave.

Viking Cave

A Legendary Shelter for Ancient Mariners

This is far from just an ordinary cave. Viking Cave is a captivating historical site renowned for its ancient wall paintings depicting various types of ships, including one that strongly resembles a European Viking longship—giving this legendary spot its name. In addition to its fascinating history, the cave serves a highly important modern role as a major, strictly protected concession site for harvesting premium swiftlet bird’s nests.

Please note that we will view Viking Cave exclusively from the comfort of our boat, as access inside is strictly restricted to respect the local bird’s nest concessions. However, cruising closely alongside gives you the perfect vantage point to capture the sheer scale of these majestic cliffs and soak in the fascinating history.

From Viking Cave, we take a short cruise into the nearby Pileh Lagoon (Pileh Bay) on Koh Phi Phi Leh. This narrow, canyon-like inlet is dramatically enclosed by soaring limestone cliffs on both sides, creating a breathtaking natural phenomenon that feels like entering a hidden world.

Pileh Lagoon

The Emerald Heritage & Nature’s Private Living Room

Pileh Lagoon is widely hailed as the most beautiful natural lagoon—often called the "ocean’s swimming pool"—in all of Krabi. The water inside this breathtaking bay is a vibrant emerald green, boasting mirror-like clarity that lets you look straight through to the bottom. Because the lagoon is perfectly sheltered from open-sea winds and waves by the towering cliffs, the water remains incredibly calm, peaceful, and beautifully still

This is the ultimate moment for pure relaxation and swimming! Feel free to safely jump straight from the boat into the wonderfully refreshing emerald waters, or simply sit back and capture the dramatic beauty of the towering limestone cliffs wrapping around you in every direction

Leaving the serene grandeur of Pileh Lagoon behind, our private boat glides toward Monkey Bay (Ao Ling)—a charming, hidden cove with a unique personality all its own

Monkey Bay

Greet the Cheeky Little Locals

While Monkey Bay features a beautiful stretch of powdery white sand and crystal-clear water that easily rivals other world-class beaches, its biggest draw lies in its famous residents. The bay is home to a troop of wild macaque monkeysthat live nestled in the lush seaside cliffs. These playful creatures frequently make their way down to the shoreline to greet visiting travelers, offering an unforgettable and close-up wildlife experience.

To ensure the safety and well-being of both our guests and the wildlife, we highly recommend viewing and photographing the monkeys from the comfort of the boat or from a safe, respectful distance. This allows us to enjoy their playful antics without disturbing their natural habitat.

Moving on from Monkey Bay, we set sail toward Koh Phi Phi Don. As the largest island and the vibrant central hub of the Phi Phi archipelago, it is fully equipped with excellent amenities, making it the perfect spot to pause and recharge

Koh Phi Phi Don

The Vibrant Heart of Krabi’s Marine Paradise

Koh Phi Phi Don features a stunning, world-renowned landscape where two lush mountainous peaks are seamlessly connected by a breathtaking, crescent-shaped white sand beach. This scenic isthmus serves as the lively center of the island's local community, lined with a great selection of seaside restaurants, charming cafes, and shops. As the only inhabited island in the entire Phi Phi archipelago, this is the perfect stop where you can step ashore to stretch your legs, explore local island life, and enjoy a wonderful meal while fully unwinding.

Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant on the island to refuel and recharge for an exciting afternoon of adventures. After your meal, your time is completely your own. 

You can leisurely stroll through the vibrant seaside streets of Ton Sai Bay, explore the laid-back shores of Loh Dalum Bay, pick up some unique local souvenirs, or simply sink into the sand and relax on the beach at your own comfortable pace.

With your energy fully restored after a wonderful lunch on Koh Phi Phi Don, it is time to head to our final and incredibly exciting destination of the day: a premier Snorkeling Point where a vibrant underwater wonderland awaits!

A Hidden Snorkeling Gem

The Deep Blue Underwater Paradise

To provide you with the best and safest experience, our snorkeling locations are carefully selected based on daily sea conditions. Factors such as wind, waves, currents, and tidal levels change constantly, so our experienced captain will evaluate the conditions on the day of your trip. We will guide you to the most suitable and calm coral reef spot available, ensuring that your underwater adventure is both beautiful and completely safe.

Get your snorkeling mask and life jacket ready, then step into the water to witness the wonders of vibrant soft and hard coral reefs. Watch as schools of colorful tropical fish dart and swim all around you, making you feel completely immersed in Krabi’s thriving marine ecosystem.

As our snorkeling adventure comes to a close, it marks the perfect wrap-up to an unforgettable 7-8 hour Phi Phi Islands tour!

We will then begin our smooth cruise back to Ao Nam Mao Pier, leaving you with a heart full of beautiful memories—from the striking azure waters and powdery white sand beaches to the inspiring sight of Krabi's thriving, beautifully restored nature.
