Phi Phi: Day Trip from Phuket + 4-Hour Private Longtail Tour

About this experience

This Phi Phi day trip is a guided tour departing from Phuket that combines shared speedboat transfers with a four-hour private longtail boat tour around the Phi Phi islands, running approximately 11 hours in total. The itinerary takes in some of the most photographed coastal scenery in southern Thailand, including a one-hour stop at Maya Bay, the sheltered cove on Phi Phi Leh that gained international attention after featuring in the 2000 film The Beach. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Phuket by private taxi is included, along with roundtrip speedboat transfers to Phi Phi Don. Once on the longtail, the route covers Pileh Lagoon, where the calm turquoise water is suitable for swimming, Monkey Bay, where macaque monkeys are regularly spotted along the shoreline, and Viking Cave, a large sea cave on Phi Phi Leh known for its ancient boat paintings and active swiftlet nest harvesting. Snorkel mask and life jacket are provided, and lunch, fruit, and water are served on board during the private boat portion. After the longtail tour, one hour is set aside to explore Phi Phi Don independently. Tickets do not include the national park fee of 400 Baht per adult or 200 Baht per child aged 3 to 14, nor the 20 Baht island fee. No guide accompanies the group; detailed instructions on timings and locations are provided in advance.

Before you go

Arrival and timing The full day runs to approximately 11 hours, so be ready at your hotel at the time stated in your booking confirmation. Your private taxi will collect you directly, so there is no need to make your own way to a departure point. Keep your confirmation details to hand and be outside and ready a few minutes before your scheduled pickup time to avoid any delays to the group speedboat transfer. What is included and what to bring A snorkel mask and life jacket are provided for the water sections of the tour. Lunch, fruit, and water are included during the private longtail portion of the day. The national park fee (400 Baht per adult, 200 Baht per child aged 3 to 14) and a separate island fee of 20 Baht per person are not included and must be paid locally in cash. No guide accompanies the tour. You will receive detailed written instructions in advance covering where to go and at what time, so read these carefully before you travel. During the tour Wear reef-safe sun cream and bring a change of clothes, as you are likely to get wet during snorkelling and lagoon stops. Keep noise low around wildlife areas such as Monkey Bay and do not feed or approach the macaques. Respect any access restrictions at Maya Bay and Viking Cave, and follow the timings in your instructions to keep the day running smoothly.
