About this activity

Beat the crowds with an early-morning speedboat departure to Phi Phi Islands, catching sunrise over limestone cliffs and turquoise waters before tourists arrive. This 10-hour excursion combines the dramatic scenery of Phi Phi Don, the iconic Maya Bay, and hidden coves—with lunch and hotel transfers included.

Start your day early so that you see a gorgeous sunrise over the beautiful islands of Phi Phi before the crowds arrive. There is a feeling of tranquility in this area at dawn which is definitely worth experiencing.  This tour takes you by speedboat out to the largest of the Phi Phi Islands as well as to Maya Bay on Phi Phi Ley (where Leonardo DiCaprio filmed 'The Beach') plus other tiny, but beautiful, spots. This is a magnificent tour with lunch and return transfers that has you back at your hotel with plenty of time left in the day to continue enjoying Phuket!

Insider tips

  • Arrive at pickup early; sunrise departures mean prompt collection times to meet the boat schedule.
  • Bring a waterproof camera or phone case—sunrise photography is stunning, and you'll want shots before the glare intensifies.
  • The early start means quieter swimming spots; use the calm morning waters for best snorkelling visibility.

Good to know

  • Round-trip hotel transfers from Phuket included; confirm pickup location and time the day before.
  • Sun protection essential—reef-safe sunscreen, hat, and lightweight long sleeves recommended for all-day exposure.
  • Swimwear, towel, and water shoes advised; the boat operates rain or shine.
