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. On these dates, we will visit and photograph the bay from the bow of our boat, but going ashore will not be permitted.

 

07:30 Pick-up from your accommodation

  • Our day begins with a comfortable pick-up from your accommodation in Krabi Town, Klong Muang or Ao Nang. We’ll head to our private pier, the starting point for our exciting expedition across the Andaman Sea.

 

Heading to Paradise

  • We’ll board our fast speedboat and head towards our first destination, the spectacular Pileh Bay, on a journey of approximately one hour 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.

 

Maya Bay: An Encounter with The Beach

  • We’ll arrive at world-famous Maya Bay, the legendary setting of the film The Beach. We’ll go ashore on its photogenic stretch of soft white sand, where you can relax and admire the breathtaking beauty of the bay framed by cliffs. Swimming in its waters is prohibited under conservation regulations.

 

Snorkelling at Phi Phi Don: A World of Colour

Lunch on Phi Phi Don: Island Flavours (Optional)

  • After our aquatic adventure, we can go ashore on the main island of Phi Phi Don to enjoy a delicious lunch and recharge with authentic Thai food.

 

Bamboo Island: The Perfect Finale

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.
