This tour offers a full day out to visit Phi Phi, which many regards as the two most beautiful islands in the Andaman Sea. Your 1-hour speedboat transfer to Phi Phi will ensure you spend less time on the water between Krabi and Phi Phi and more time on the island swimming, snorkeling or relaxing - perfect for those who have limited time and would prefer to spend more time exploring the area. Please note that the speedboat will be traveling at faster speeds than the ferry transfer to Phi Phi and one should expect a bumpy ride as the vessel travels across the waves at high speed.

You will visit Phi Phi Lai, the smaller of the two islands, and to Maya Bay, which was one of the locations used when making the film 'The Beach'. Then it's off to the bigger island of Phi Phi Don with its magnificent twin crescent beaches. There will be plenty of free time for sunbathing and swimming so remember to pack your towel and swimming costumes!
