A full-day Phi Phi trip on the Whale Shark catamaran with high-standard service, extra free time on Phi Phi Don and a dedicated water-activity stop. It includes Pileh Lagoon with a shared 45-minute wooden longtail ride, Maya Bay and snorkeling, then a water slide and kayaks at Maiton Island before a sunset cruise home.
About this tour
A catamaran trip with high-standard service that features a traditional Thai wooden longtail boat ride, wonderful for photos, and — unlike many standard programmes — extra free time on Phi Phi Don plus a dedicated stop for water activities.
After check-in, a welcome breakfast with pastries and a briefing from the guide, you cruise to Phi Phi Leh and Pileh Lagoon, known as the 'swimming pool in the sea', to swim in emerald water between limestone cliffs, with a shared 45-minute longtail boat ride (6–8 people). You then see Maya Bay, a pristine crescent of white sand tucked between huge limestone cliffs and the filming location of The Beach.
In Ton Sai Bay on Phi Phi Don you enjoy a buffet lunch with desserts and free time to relax, take photos and explore, followed by snorkeling. Then it's on to Maiton Island for water activities such as a water slide, kayaking and snorkeling, before relaxing with the sunset on the cruise back to Phuket.
