A special moment

Finally making it to The Beach. Being at Maya Bay feels like stepping behind the camera of a film you’ve already seen. You recognise the scenery, but this time you’re the one sitting there on the sand, looking around and realising just how far from home you are. One of those moments that’s hard to put into words, but stays with you for a long time.

“When you arrive, do a DiCaprio, sit on the sand and let the place do the rest.”

Itinerary

IMPORTANT NOTICE: MAYA BAY CLOSURE (1 AUGUST – 30 SEPTEMBER 2025) To protect its ecosystem, the Thai government closes access to Maya Bay beach during this period. During these dates, we will visit the bay and take photographs from the bow of our boat, but landing on the beach will not be permitted.

 

07:30–09:15 Morning Pick-up

  • Your day begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Krabi Town, Klong Muang or Ao Nang. We’ll head to Nopparat Thara Pier, the starting point for our exciting expedition across the Andaman Sea. The exact pick-up time will depend on your accommodation’s location and the number of participants.

 

Heading for Paradise

  • We’ll board our speedboat and head towards our first destination, the spectacular Pileh Bay, enjoying an approximately one-hour journey across turquoise waters.

 

Pileh Bay: The Emerald Lagoon

Viking Cave and Monkey Bay: Mysteries and Wildlife

  • We’ll continue our journey with two sightseeing stops from the boat. First, we’ll approach the mysterious Viking Cave, famous for its ancient wall paintings and swiftlet nests. Immediately afterwards, we’ll visit picturesque Monkey Bay, where we’ll observe the playful monkeys that inhabit the beach from a safe distance.

 

Maya Bay: An Encounter with The Beach

Swimming in its waters is prohibited under environmental protection regulations.

 

Snorkelling at Phi Phi Don: A World of Colour

Lunch on Phi Phi Don: Island Flavours

  • After our aquatic adventure, we’ll disembark on the main island of Phi Phi Don to enjoy a delicious lunch. You’ll recharge with authentic Thai food surrounded by spectacular beaches and lush vegetation.

 

Bamboo Island: The Perfect Finale

  • Our final stop will be idyllic Bamboo Island. This little paradise is famous for its stunning white-sand beach curving along the coastline and its incredibly turquoise waters. It’s the perfect place for a final swim and some relaxation before heading back.

Responsible Snorkelling

Let’s Protect the Marine Treasures of the Andaman Sea

 

We invite you to enjoy the reefs and marine life respectfully. This ecosystem is fragile and depends on all of us to survive.

Avoid touching or walking on corals, as they are living organisms that are extremely sensitive. Observe the fish without chasing them or disturbing their natural behaviour.

Do not collect shells or other natural objects, as they are part of the ecosystem’s delicate balance.

Whenever possible, use biodegradable sunscreen to help protect the reefs.

Small actions can make a big difference. Protecting this environment is the best way to ensure we can continue enjoying it today and in the future.
