Annual closure (1 Aug – 30 Sep): during the monsoon, Maya Bay is admired from the water — no landing. Swimming and snorkelling take place at Pileh Lagoon and Loh Samah instead; the rest of the itinerary is unchanged.
Koh Phi Phi, but better
Our excursion is designed to avoid crowds as much as possible and offer you a unique and memorable experience. Departure at 6 a.m. — while the other boats are still sleeping, you can enjoy Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon almost to yourself.
100% French-speaking guide, 15 people maximum, transfers, meals, drinks and national park all included. Nothing to pay on site.
Operated by our partner Krabi Dome (license TAT 33/10549) — specialist in guided excursions in French from Krabi.

Before you go
Good to know
Prone to seasickness?
Take a tablet ~30 min before departure, sit mid-boat, keep your eyes on the horizon and avoid heading out on an empty stomach.
Beat the crowds
Iconic spots like Maya Bay are far calmer early in the day. Our morning departures get you there before the midday ferry rush.
National park fees
Some sites sit inside a national park, so an entrance fee may apply. Check the “Not included” list above so there are no surprises.
Sun & reef care
The tropical sun is strong — bring a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water. Reef-safe sunscreen is required in Thai marine parks.
What to pack
Swimwear under your clothes, a towel, a dry bag for your phone, and a change of clothes for the trip back.
