The engine thumps as the speedboat slides away from Ton Sai Pier and the cliffs of Phi Phi rise like carved walls from the Andaman Sea. Salt spray primes your senses; limestone spires frame turquoise bowls where sunlight cuts into the water. Over the next six hours you’ll hop between iconic bays — Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pileh Lagoon, Loh Samah and Maya Bay — pacing swims and short strolls with a sunset cruise back to Phi Phi Don.

The islands are geologically young karst outcrops shaped by sea-level change and monsoon-driven erosion. Viking Cave records human history in the form of ancient cliff paintings and a long-standing trade in edible bird’s nests, while Maya Bay’s more recent fame arrived with the film The Beach, which in turn led to protective closures and stricter park rules.
Expect quick shore landings on white sand, shallow coral gardens for snorkeling, and pockets of stronger currents at channel entrances. Guides supply life jackets, masks and park fees; bring a reef-safe sunscreen and a waterproof camera. Seas can smooth out in the cool season (Nov–Apr) but be prepared for choppier water during the monsoon (May–Oct).
Practical pointers: meet the guide at McDonald’s near Ao Ton Sai Pier 15 minutes before pickup, follow briefings about reef etiquette, and carry small cash for local purchases. This tour is easy activity-wise but requires basic swimming and comfort boarding small boats. The payoff is immediate — clear water, steep cliffs, and a sunset that paints the limestone gold while plankton make the sea glow beneath your mask.
easy.
6 hours.
Suitable for most travelers who can climb in/out of a small boat and swim short distances; basic stamina for repeated swims.
Guides typically supply masks and life jackets, but bringing your own mask/snorkel ensures a better fit and hygiene.
Yes — the tour inclusions list the national park fee, but bring small cash for purchases like cold drinks or tips.
Sea conditions vary by season; Nov–Apr are usually calm while May–Oct can bring choppy seas and occasional cancellations for safety.
Non-swimmers can join but should wear a life jacket during water stops and remain with the group; participation in snorkeling is optional.
Viking Cave has been used for centuries to harvest swiftlets’ nests, and Maya Bay’s international spotlight after the film The Beach prompted tighter conservation controls starting in the 2000s.
Phi Phi sits inside Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park; visitors should avoid standing on coral, use reef-safe sunscreen, and follow guide instructions to reduce reef damage.
Oh-Hoo operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
