Koh Phi Phi Islands Tour
Six islands by private speedboat — the only safe way to Phi Phi
Phi Phi is six small islands of fine sand and vertical limestone, and it is busy, and it is still worth it. The whole trip turns on sequencing: go where the boats are not. We run the loop backwards from the standard operators, which puts you in Pileh while everyone else is queuing for Maya, and gets you to Monkey Beach when the light is good.
Why you'll love it
- The route is run in reverse, which is the whole trick to Phi Phi.
- Time in the water, not time queuing to get into it.
- A boat small enough to change the plan if the sea says so.
Highlights
- Pileh Lagoon early, before the fleet arrives
- Maya Bay and the Viking Cave
- Monkey Beach in good light
- Snorkelling at Loh Samah

Cancellation
If you have a confirmed booking and the trip cannot go ahead because of dangerous weather (not just rain or grey skies), we either change the destination and take you somewhere safe, or — if we know from weather warnings the day before — offer you another date during your stay, subject to availability. The captain makes the final decision on whether it is possible to depart for any destination. If no destination is possible during your stay, or we have no availability, we refund your deposit. Cancel more than 7 days before the trip date: the full deposit is returned. Cancel 7 days or less before the trip date: the deposit is not refundable. Cancel within 24 hours of the trip date: the full trip price is payable.
Questions
Can we get into Maya Bay?
Access to Maya Bay is controlled by the national park and the rules change with the season and the reef recovery programme. We will tell you exactly what is possible for your date before you pay.
From our guests
An Andaman Camp & Cruise customer review — about the business, not this trip in particular.
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Andaman Camp and Cruise and can’t thank the team enough for such a fantastic excursion. I first connected with the owner through a Thailand Facebook group, and she was incredibly helpful from the very beginning. I had been struggling to find a company that could create a customized private…”
