Longtail Snorkelling at Maya Bay and Phi Phi Islands

Overview

Explore the iconic landscapes of the Phi Phi Islands aboard a traditional longtail boat. This tour takes you to Maya Bay, famous for its limestone cliffs, as well as Loh Samah Bay and Pileh Lagoon for snorkelling sessions among the coral reefs. The itinerary also includes a stop at Monkey Beach to observe the monkeys and a visit to Viking Cave. Depending on the option chosen, you can opt for a short morning trip (4 hours), an afternoon excursion with sunset plankton watching (6 hours), or a full-day trip (9 hours). The full-day option enhances the itinerary with a stop at Shark Point to observe harmless reef sharks, relaxation on the white sands of Bamboo Island, and a night swim to admire bioluminescent plankton. Lunch, water, fruit, and snorkelling equipment are included for full-day excursions.
