About this tour
A complete marine journey combining the major sights of the Phi Phi Islands with Krabi's Four Islands area. After your transfer, check-in and meeting your guide, a light meal and lunch box are served, and the speedboat departs at about 11:30. The stop order is not fixed and may change with weather, sea and tide conditions.
You visit the Maya Bay and Loh Samah Bay area, framed by limestone cliffs, then Pileh Lagoon with its turquoise water for swimming and photos when sea conditions allow. Viking Cave and the monkeys around Monkey Beach are viewed from the boat, with snorkelling at a suitable nearby spot chosen by the crew, followed by swimming and relaxing on Bamboo Island's clear blue water and white sand.
In the Krabi area you see Chicken Island's distinctive rock formation and Tub Island, whose sandbar appears depending on the tide, and the Tang Ming rock landmark from around Poda Island. On Poda Island a mini-buffet BBQ dinner is served on the beach as the sun sets, and after dark the boat heads to a spot near Ao Nang for a chance to swim and view bioluminescent plankton.
