Stop 5

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.

Stop 7

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.

Stop 9

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.
