The best part was Maya Bay. The worst part was Bamboo Island—it's like dropping people off in the middle of nowhere, where they need shade to survive... Yuri was great, he did his best to lift our spirits! However, the biggest disappointment was the number of people on the boat. Yes, we saw the description of the excursion, but sitting in a single boat crying in the cold is no fun at all. The boat is certainly designed for 40 people, but let's not forget about comfort.

The Phi Phi 6 tour starts very early — hotel pickup is at 4:30-5:00 AM. The early departure allows you to witness the sunrise at sea and arrive at the Phi Phi islands before the main tourist crowds. Breakfast is provided at Royal Phuket Marina pier at 5:30-6:00 AM, and the speedboat departs to the islands at 6:00-6:30 AM.
Yes, visiting Maya Bay is one of the main highlights of the Phi Phi tour. This is where the famous movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed. Thanks to the early arrival, you can enjoy the beauty of the bay without tourist crowds and take amazing photos on the white sandy beach with emerald waters.
Yes, snorkeling is included in the Phi Phi 6 tour program. You can swim with a mask and snorkel near Phi Phi Don island, observing colorful fish and the underwater world of the Andaman Sea. All equipment (masks, snorkels, life jackets) is provided. Guides will instruct you on how to properly use the equipment.
The tour price includes: round-trip hotel transfer from all areas of Phuket, breakfast at the pier, lunch on Phi Phi Don island (buffet), Russian-speaking guide, snorkeling equipment, life jackets, drinks on the boat (water, juices), fruits, and insurance. Only the national park fee is paid additionally (if required).
The program includes visiting several locations of the Phi Phi archipelago: Maya Bay on Phi Phi Leh island, emerald Pileh Lagoon for swimming, Phi Phi Don island with lunch and free time, Bamboo island (Bounty) for relaxation and swimming. The tour also includes viewing Viking Cave and Monkey Beach from the boat.
The Phi Phi 6 tour was developed by "Treasure Island" company specifically for those who want to see the islands without tourist crowds. The exclusive route involves a very early sunrise departure, allowing you to be first to arrive at Maya Bay and other popular locations. The program is designed with tourist comfort in mind: convenient pier, speedboat, and experienced guides.
Coral shoes (water shoes) are highly recommended. Many tourists in reviews mention that without special footwear you can injure your feet on rocks and corals. Some beaches on the Phi Phi islands have rocky bottoms, and during snorkeling you might accidentally touch corals. Coral shoes will ensure safety and comfort while swimming.
The Phi Phi islands tour takes a full day — approximately 12-13 hours. Hotel departure at 4:30-5:00 AM, return to Phuket at 3:00 PM, hotel transfer around 5:00 PM. Despite the early wake-up, tourists note that the impressions from the beauty of the islands are worth it, and on the way back many people rest on the comfortable speedboat.
Pregnant women, children under 1 year old, and people with serious back and neck problems are not allowed on the speedboat tour. This is because the speedboat can shake significantly on the waves. Before the trip to Phi Phi islands, motion sickness pills (dramamine) are offered. If you have health restrictions, clarify the possibility of participation when booking.
Lunch is organized at a cafe on Phi Phi Don island in buffet format. Tourists note delicious Thai cuisine with a good selection of dishes. After lunch, free time is provided for walks around the only inhabited island of the archipelago, where you can visit local shops, take photos, or simply stroll through the picturesque streets.
