Board the Royal Jet Cruiser for a full-day ferry out to Phi Phi — limestone cliffs, snorkeling over coral gardens, and a Thai lunch on Phi Phi Don. This nine-hour excursion pairs scenic cruising with beach time and guided snorkeling.

The Royal Jet Cruiser cuts through the Andaman Sea before you even see Phi Phi, leaving a white wake that teases the island ahead. Salt spray cools the skin and limestone cliffs appear like dark islands rising from impossibly teal water; the ferry’s deck becomes a front-row seat to Maya Bay, Viking Cave and the narrow channels of Phi Phi Ley.

Phi Phi’s villages were historically fishing communities; the islands were significantly affected by the 2004 tsunami and have since shifted toward regulated tourism and reef recovery efforts.
Conservation
Visitor limits, seasonal closures and reef-restoration projects aim to reduce boat impact and help coral recover; use reef-safe products and avoid touching coral.
