Description
Zip by Phuket on a luxurious catamaran to Phi Phi's paradise! Dive into Maya Bay (The Beach!), snorkel crystal-clear Phi Le Lagoon, savor a Thai feast, & unwind on Khai Nok's white sand beach. Paradise awaits!
Get picked up in the early morning from your hotel in Phuket by Tip-Top Destination and meet the boat crew at Jian Wanich Pier including a short briefing about the trip and a light breakfast with bakery and coffee.
Cruise in less than 45 minutes on a luxury speed catamaran with 3 engines to Phi Phi Leh archipelago. The first stop is at the floating pier in Loh Samah Bay, from where you can walk across the island on a natural footpath to Maya Bay. Put your feet into the ankle-deep crystal clear waters at Maya Bay and spot black tip reef sharks circling over the shallow coral reef.
Continue to Phi Le Lagoon on the west coast of Phi Phi Leh, with 100-meter-high vertical cliffs rising from the water and providing shadow except at midday. Here you have a chance to jump from the boat and take a swim in the turquoise waters. You can also try the paddle board or the clear kayak and explore the hidden coves. Continue to Koh Phi Phi Don with a short stop at Monkey Beach, a stunning 150-meter-long strip of white powdery sand.
Enjoy a sumptuous Thai style lunch in a beachside restaurant on Koh Phi Phi Don located on the sandy isthmus between the island's two long & tall limestone ridges.
On the way to Koh Khai Islands you will slowly cruise past Viking Cave where Phi Phi birds nest soup are harvested. The cave owes its name to the paintings found on the eastern and southern walls of the cave. These paintings were possibly made by sailors taking shelter in the cave during a storm.
The last stop will be on Khai Nok Island which offers superb sandy beaches and incredibly clear waters. Here you can swim and snorkel with a swarm of colourful and friendly fish, or just being lazy and taking in the sun before returning to Phuket.
