Set out from Phuket at dawn for a small-group speedboat tour of the Phi Phi Islands—karst cliffs, snorkeling at Bamboo Island, lunch on Phi Phi Don and photo stops at Maya Bay and Monkey Beach. Practical, scenic and designed for travelers who want a full-day marine experience.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the polished deck as first light rims limestone cliffs, the sea breathing cool and steady around the speedboat. The Phi Phi Islands unfurl—sheer cliffs, turquoise shallows and pockets of sand that dare you to pause. A small-group launch from Royal Phuket Marina keeps the rhythm intimate: 20–25 passengers, a guide narrating tides and coves as the boat threads between islands.

Book morning departures for calmer seas
Early runs often have smoother water and softer light for photos—ask about the sunrise option if you want fewer crowds at photo stops.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Sunscreen that’s free of oxybenzone/zinc helps protect coral and avoids skin irritation while swimming.
