Phuket & Phi Phi Islands

Speedboat to Maya Bay, snorkel coral reefs and beach-hop across the stunning Andaman Sea.

About Phuket & Phi Phi Islands

The Phi Phi Islands are Thailand’s most photographed seascape — sheer limestone cliffs, water in impossible shades of turquoise, and the legendary Maya Bay made famous by the film The Beach. Based in Phuket, a speedboat day delivers snorkelling, hidden lagoons and powder-soft sand.

What to see & do

  • Maya Bay on Koh Phi Phi Leh
  • Pileh Lagoon and Viking Cave
  • Snorkelling among coral and reef fish at Bamboo Island
  • Monkey Beach and Loh Samah Bay
  • James Bond Island & Phang Nga Bay sea-cave canoeing

🗓️ Best time to visit

November–April is the dry season with calm Andaman seas. Maya Bay closes seasonally for reef recovery — check current rules before booking.

🚆 How to reach

Fly direct to Phuket (HKT) from several Indian cities. Speedboat day tours depart from Phuket’s piers (about 45 min to Phi Phi); passenger ferries also run from Rassada Pier (around 2 hours).

💰 Cost

A shared Phi Phi speedboat day tour costs around ₹3,000–₹5,500 per person; a James Bond Island tour is similar. National park fees add roughly ₹1,000.

Insider tips

  • Pick the earliest departure to reach Maya Bay before the crowds.
  • Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a dry bag for valuables.
  • If prone to seasickness, choose a larger boat or take medication.
  • Book a smaller-group tour for a less hectic, more scenic day.
