From famous beaches to hidden coves, this Phuket to Phi Phi day trip has something for everyone.

Highlights

  • Make every moment count on this day trip to Phi Phi. The speed catamaran cuts your travel time, so you spend more time at the beaches and coves, not in transit.

  • Hotel pickup and drop-off, snorkeling gear, a delicious lunch, and even a light breakfast and fresh fruits – this trip has everything sorted for you.

  • There's plenty to do at the islands: swim in Maya Bay (you might recognize it from "The Beach"), or look for millennia-old paintings inside Viking Cave!

  • Beyond the average beach activities, you can snorkel in the sea, a haven for corals, or watch the playful monkeys at Monkey Beach even.

  • Fun fact: Viking Cave isn't home to Vikings, but thousands of tiny birds called swiftlets! Their nests are super expensive – they're used to make fancy bird's nest soup.

The trip was very well organized. Right from the pick from the hotel in the morning to the drop back in the evening, everything was meticulously executed. Jackie, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained the details with a little touch of humour. The catamaran staff were polite and helpful too. Snorkeling in the open sea was the highlight of the trip. The view from Maya bay was magical. I highly recommend this activity.

Phuket to Phi Phi in a ji-phi

Thailand's stunning archipelagos and warm weather make it a top holiday pick in Asia. And, the Phi Phi islands are one the first items on the list of islands to visit when here. Known for fun activities like: snorkeling, diving, and cliff-jumping along with sightseeing, it attracts a lively crowd year-round.

This day trip from Phuket starts with a hotel pickup, followed by a speedy catamaran ride. Unlike other boats, this one's more spacious and takes way less time, giving you more time on those beautiful beaches.

Khai Island is all about snorkeling. Here, swarms of fish will swim right up to you – just perfect for beginners. You can just walk into the water and see the fish swim by in the shallows. Then, it's off to Monkey Beach. Besides some (more) beach time, the other thing to look out for here is the cheeky little critters – hanging all around.

Afternoon island-hopping

After a beachside lunch, visit the iconic Maya Bay (the one in the Beach movie). Surrounded by 100-meter-high cliffs on 3 sides, the enclosed bay looks incredibly beautiful. And the entire area is one big reef teeming with colorful coral and exotic fish in exceptionally clear water.

The last two stops, far from the crowds, hold a special beauty. Pileh Lagoon, with its crystal clear water, is the ideal spot for swimming peacefully. While Viking Caves, with their ancient paintings and the bird's nests hanging within the cave walls, add an intriguing element to the day. After you've seen everything, you'll head back to the pier where your ride home will be waiting.
