The sun is already bright when the speedboat cuts free of Phuket’s harbor and heads southeast toward the Phi Phi archipelago. Limestone cliffs rise like folded maps from the sea, and the ocean, clear and green, dares you closer; the boat’s wake writes a temporary path to coves and beaches guests have come to see.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral during snorkeling and carry extra in a sealed bag for reapplication between swims.
Time your arrival
Morning visits to Maya Bay are quieter; schedule the earliest departures to see the bay from the boat with fewer tour groups.
Secure valuables
Use a small waterproof pouch for your phone and documents; boat decks can be wet and gear storage is limited.
