Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour: Starting on Phi Phi Island [Package A]

Introducing our [Phi Phi Island Package A]! This is our classic longtail boat tour, and a favourite for many people. The tour starts and ends on Phi Phi Island itself, so you’ll need to have accommodation there for at least one night. If you’re not on the island, you can find our tours from Phuket here, and from Krabi here. Starting on Koh Phi Phi allows us to run this private tour in the early morning or late evening, which are usually the quietest times at the island. Each tour is unique and you’ll get to explore the Phi Phi Islands on our private longtail boat, guided by a friendly local Five Star Thailand Tour Guide. 💛

Icon Tour Route and Locations

Koh Phi Phi is made up of two main islands; Koh Phi Phi Don, and Koh Phi Phi Leh. All of the places you’ve heard about are on these two islands. That includes spots like; Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pileh Lagoon, Loh Samah Beach and Maya Bay along with lots more beaches, bays, lagoons, and destinations known only to locals. We aim to see as much as possible during this tour.

Koh Phi Phi is dynamic and so are we, therefore we don’t follow a fixed route or schedule. Trust our local knowledge; your tour guide will plan the best route on the day of the tour, considering factors like the weather, sea conditions, tide times, and your hotel’s location, while also trying to avoid crowds at popular spots when possible. You can also customize your tour route! Spend more time snorkeling, at a place you love, or move on to the next location whenever you’re ready!

Meeting Locations

If your hotel is in the town on Koh Phi Phi, or in the Long Beach Area, we’ll pick you up for free. If you’re staying in a resort outside of the town, there may be an extra charge. These resorts can only be reached by boat, so we need to make an extra trip to meet you and take you back. Since there are no roads on Koh Phi Phi, we’ll stop the boat at the best spot and meet you on foot at your hotel lobby.

This tour visits Maya Bay! The beach has fewer visitors in the early morning at late evening. But it’s not a private beach and it will never be totally empty.

If your lucky there is a chance to spot Black Tip Reefs Sharks.
Icon Optional Stops

Glowing Plankton: Adding Glowing Plankton as an additional stop will increase the tour time by approximately 30 minutes. The glowing plankton is only visible after dark, so this stop can only be added to the sunset package. We can’t guarantee you’ll see the plankton – as we can’t control nature, but we’ll do our best. If you’re lucky enough you see the ocean light up as you move through the water.

Bamboo Island: Add Bamboo Island as an additional stop to increase the tour time from 6-hours to 7-hours. We require additional time to make this stop as it’s further away than the other islands.

Bamboo Island is in open water between Koh Phi Phi and Krabi, so the seas can occasionally be rough around the island. It’s hard to predict this in advance. If you paid for a 7-hour tour but we can’t visit Bamboo Island, you can shorten the tour to 6 hours and get a partial refund for the extra stop, or you can still complete the 7-hour tour by dividing the extra time between other locations.

Icon Tour Activities

Phi Phi Island is all about nature, the wildlife, the beaches, the ocean, the Monkeys, the Reef-Sharks, the snorkelling! There is plenty to do and see on our tour. Snorkelling is included as standard, and equipment provided. There will be lots of time to explore the bays and beaches dotted around Koh Phi Phi.

It is common to see Black Tip Reef Sharks in Phi Phi, it is common to see Monkeys. It is possible to see Hawksbill turtles. But do note that we can’t control the animals or nature and we can’t guarantee you’ll see anything. Reef Sharks are not dangerous to humans.

At Phi Phi, we don’t have the same restrictions as tours from Phuket or Krabi. When you start your tour from Phi Phi Island, you can choose a sunrise tour or a sunset tour. It’s often more peaceful at these times. We do try to avoid crowds as much as possible, but we’d never promise it. It’s something out of our control and at popular locations like Maya Bay it is often unavoidable.
