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.
Why this Phi Phi day trip
It's the great classic of Krabi: in a single day you see Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Monkey Beach and Phi Phi's best reefs. The speedboat saves time on the water and leaves you longer at each stop.
Our tip
Book early in the dry season (November-April) — Maya Bay fills up fast. The early start gets you in before the big boats, while the lagoon is almost empty.
Tip: bring a waterproof pouch for your phone — you'll spend most of the day on the water and snorkeling.

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.
