Phi Phi Islands Small-Group Long-Tail Boat Snorkeling Tour From Koh Phi Phi Without National Park Fee

Explore the Phi Phi Islands on a small-group long-tail boat tour focused on swimming, snorkeling, and coastal highlights.

Getting started

Begin your experience on Koh Phi Phi (Tonsai), where the small-group tour departs by long-tail boat. After boarding, meet your basic English-speaking boat driver and settle in as you leave the pier behind. You will already need to be staying on Koh Phi Phi, since the tour starts and ends on the island and does not include travel from Ao Nang or Phuket.

What to expect

Phi Phi Islands long-tail boat tour

Travel by traditional long-tail boat around the Phi Phi Islands, moving between bays, caves, and snorkeling spots in the Andaman Sea.

Features

• Visit Monkey Bay and look for the monkeys on the shoreline while you take in the tropical landscape that has made the Phi Phi Islands so well known.
• Cruise past Viking Cave and observe this sheltered cliffside site from the water as your boat continues toward Ko Phi Phi Le and surrounding coves.
• Explore Ko Phi Phi Le and see Maya Bay from the boat area, taking in the steep limestone cliffs and white-sand surroundings that frame the bay.
• Swim with colorful fish at Loh Samah Bay, using the provided snorkeling equipment, including a mask and snorkel, to look down on coral gardens in the clear water.
• Experience the barefoot lifestyle of the Phi Phi Islands during this small-group tour, with time focused on swimming and snorkeling rather than detailed storytelling.
• Make use of the long-tail boat for easy access to shallow bays and rocky coastlines that are difficult to reach from larger vessels during the trip.
• Rinse your mouth and stay hydrated with a bottle of drinking water included for each guest while food and soft drinks are left for you to bring if you wish.
• Rely on your basic English-speaking boat driver for simple instructions and coordination at each stop, noting that there is no separate English speaking guide on this tour.
• Use the snorkeling equipment, including a mask and snorkel supplied on board, to explore coral gardens and fish habitats without needing to bring your own gear.
• Keep in mind that entry to Phi Phi National Park is not included in this Small-Group Long-Tail Boat Tour without National Park Entry Fees variant, and that the admission fee for Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park is paid separately in cash at THB 400 per person.
