A private speedboat day from Royal Phuket Marina delivers Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Island—seven to eight hours of snorkeling, swimming and beach time with a local guide and hotel transfers.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning light slides along the marina as a private speedboat idles beside Royal Phuket Marina, engines whispering like a promise. Within an hour the coastline peels away and limestone cliffs loom, their shadows daring you into emerald water. You step from the boat into Pileh Lagoon’s glassy bowl, where the sea pushes gently at your ankles and motes of coral scatter like coins beneath the surface.

History
Phi Phi’s limestone islands were formed by uplift and erosion; Maya Bay gained international attention after appearing in the film "The Beach," which increased tourism and prompted recent conservation measures.
Conservation
The islands lie within a national park with entrance fees and seasonal restrictions; visitors are asked to use reef‑safe products, avoid touching coral and follow guides’ instructions to minimize impact.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen

Tide and weather can change snorkeling visibility and access to Maya Bay — follow the guide’s plan and avoid swimming alone.
