Full description

This classic island day starts at a Phuket pier and heads out by speedboat or large boat to the limestone islands of Phi Phi. On Phi Phi Leh you see Pileh Lagoon’s emerald water and Maya Bay, now carefully protected, where visitors land on a boardwalk to walk to the famous beach.

There are snorkelling stops along the cliffs, a buffet lunch on Phi Phi Don, and time on the soft sand of Bamboo Island before the ride back to Phuket. The exact boat and order of stops depend on the sea and the operator on your date.
