Spend a luxe day on a 2024 twin-hull catamaran visiting Pileh Bay, Maya Bay (subject to park closures), and Honeymoon Island for two snorkel sessions, clear kayaks, and on-deck Thai cuisine. Small groups, hotel transfers, and park fees included make this an effortless island-hopping day out of Phuket.

You step from the pier into warm sea air and the new Indigo catamaran’s bow sundeck stretches like an open invitation—360° views, teak walkways, and a crowd intentionally kept small. The twin-hull glides past limestone towers that rise from the Andaman, water daring you to dive in. By midday a long-tail skims into Pileh Bay and the guide points to a jade lagoon where cliffs squeeze the sky.

The Phi Phi islands are limestone karst formations uplifted from ancient coral; Maya Bay rose to global fame after a feature film which drove visitor management changes.
Conservation
Ko Phi Phi is managed under national park rules with visitor caps and periodic closures to let reefs and turtle nesting recover; avoid touching coral and use reef-safe products.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Strong sun, reflective water, and long hours on deck mean sunscreen is essential—choose reef-safe formulas to protect corals.
Prepare for rough seas
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication or use acupressure bands; some open-water crossings can be choppy.
Wear water shoes
Landings can be rocky or slippery at smaller islands and jetties—water shoes protect feet and improve traction.
Keep a small dry bag
Protect phones, passports, and cameras from spray while moving between decks and during transfers to long-tail boats.
