About this activity

A full-day island escape from Phuket combining ferry transport, scenic limestone scenery, and snorkelling across the Phi Phi Islands. Visit the iconic Maya Bay, explore hidden coves, and relax on pristine beaches with included Thai lunch and equipment.

After being collected from your Phuket hotel to be driven to the Pier, board the Royal Jet Cruiser for a fantastic day out! Skip the line as you board the ferry through a priority lane. Magnificent scenic limestone rock formations jet out from the Andaman Sea as you pass by.

You will come to the smaller Phi Phi Ley Island first, including the beautiful Maya Bay (so beautiful, in fact, that it was the filming location for the Leonardo Di Caprio movie 'The Beach'), Viking Cave, Pi-Le Cove and Loh Samah Bay.

Upon arrival at Phi Phi Don, the larger of the two Phi Phi Islands and the only one that is inhabited, dive into the exquisite, emerald water for a swim or kick back to sunbathe and relax on the bone-white sands of the pristine beach. Snorkelling equipment is available for you to enable you to get up close to the colourful coral and peaceful marine life beneath the surface.

After working up an appetite, enjoy a delicious Thai buffet lunch at a local restaurant. Your action-packed day winds to a close as you hop aboard the ferry to begin your ride back to your hotel.

*For travellers in Standard Class & First Class, snorkelling by long-tailed boat payment of National Park Fee - 400 baht per adult / 200 baht per child.
