If a client is going to the Andaman coast, the Phi Phi Islands are almost always on the wish list — and for good reason. Maya Bay, the Pileh Lagoon and the soaring limestone cliffs are some of the most photographed scenery in Thailand. The day tour runs from both Phuket and Krabi, and as a Thailand DMC for travel agents and your Phuket DMC, we match the right boat and route to the client.
What is the Phi Phi Islands tour?
It is a full-day speedboat excursion to the Phi Phi archipelago, taking in the dramatic scenery of Phi Phi Leh — Maya Bay, the Pileh Lagoon, Loh Samah Bay and the Viking Cave — plus the buzzy Phi Phi Don, Monkey Beach, and snorkelling over coral reefs, often with a stop at Bamboo Island. A typical day picks up around 07:30–08:00 and returns near 18:00, with a buffet lunch included. National park fees apply at Maya Bay and the lagoons. It is a swimming-and-snorkelling day, so it suits active clients who want the iconic photos.
Understand the options
The product varies by departure point, boat and group size — that's where an agent adds value:
- From Phuket or from Krabi — both run daily; pick whichever is closer to where your clients are staying.
- Shared (SIC) vs premium speedboat — a standard seat-in-coach group day, or a smaller premium speedboat with more comfort and service.
- Private charter — your clients' own boat and flexible routing for families, groups or VIPs who want to avoid the crowds.
Included typically: hotel transfers, the boat, an English-speaking guide, buffet lunch, snorkelling gear and life jackets. Excluded: national park fees where the rate states it, and personal spending. Maya Bay has visitor rules and seasonal access, which Explera confirms when booking.
How to package it
Phi Phi is a full-day anchor on an Andaman itinerary, best placed after a relaxed arrival day. For clients prone to seasickness or wanting a calmer pace, recommend the premium or private option, and consider a Krabi departure if they are staying that side. Add a private transfer from our Thailand DMC transport team for the early start and fold it into a wider Thailand DMC tours-and-activities package for travel agents.
Frequently asked questions
Can you visit Maya Bay on the Phi Phi tour?
Yes, when it is open — Maya Bay has conservation rules and can close seasonally to protect the reef. Tours include the Pileh Lagoon, Loh Samah Bay and Phi Phi Don regardless. Explera confirms current access at the time of booking.
Should clients depart from Phuket or Krabi?
Both run daily and reach the same islands — choose by where your clients are staying. Explera quotes either departure point.
Is the national park fee included?
It depends on the rate; some are quoted including the fee and some excluding it, collected at the islands. We always state which applies on the quotation.
Is the tour good for families?
Yes — the premium and private speedboat options in particular suit families, with calmer boats, buffet lunch and easy snorkelling stops.
