Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Maya Bay is a stunningly beautiful bay that's sheltered by 100-metre high cliffs on 3 sides. You can enjoy several beaches here. Most are small and some only exist at low tide. The main beach is around 200 metres long with silky soft white sand. The whole bay is one big reef and the underwater scene features colourful coral and exotic fish in exceptionally clear water.

Maya Bay became a top attraction on Phi Phi after The Beach (1999) was shot here. It was always very popular before the film but ever since the film came out, people around the world who haven't even heard of Phi Phi have certainly heard of Maya Bay.

Nui Beach is one of the most beautiful ‘secret beaches’ in Phuket. This 120-metre strip of sand is located roughly 3 km through the jungle after the Kata-Karon Viewpoint, on the road linking the Kata and Nai Harn beaches. The well-maintained beach is a tropical dream destination come true, complete with a bar/restaurant, a stylish spa, and recreational activities such as snorkelling, beach volleyball, and sea kayaking.

Stop 3

Monkey Beach is a stunning 150-metre-long strip of white powdery sand fringed by emerald waters. The beach is set against a backdrop of a steep limestone cliff that’s covered with lush vegetation.

The forested cliff is the habitat of monkeys, which is where the beach got its name from. Monkey Beach is not only famous for its furry inhabitants. Its also known as a top-notch snorkelling spot.

The amazing Pileh Lagoon Phi Phi is an stunning inlet located near the popular Maya Bay beach. It’s one of the most stunning places to visit in Thailand due to its stunning emerald waters and limestone cliffs.

The largest of the Phi Phi Islands, Ko Phi Phi Don is a non-volcanic island, made mostly of limestone. Accessible from Phuket, with all visitors arriving by boat, Ko Phi Phi Don has great beaches and popular diving and snorkeling spots. Much of the island is a protected marine reserve
