We really enjoyed the tour, it’s worth the early wake up. Breakfast is offered before you board your speed boat and meet your guide. You set off just as sun is rising and reach the first stop in roughly 1 hour. In-between each stop and activity, refreshments are given out. There is also a lovely complimentary lunch on phi phi don which catered for us as vegans. The islands are breathtaking - it was our favourite trip! We went in monsoon season but no rain luckily. Bit choppy sea on boat back.
A trip to the famous Phi Phi Islands is almost compulsory in Thailand, and an early start gives you the chance to discover their beauty without crowds of tourists. A speedboat ride takes you to the best beaches on the islands where you can swim, snorkel and relax. And with Monkey beach, Viking Cave and Pileh Lagoon on the itinerary it's sure to be a great day.
Kick off by passing the famous Maya Bay – where Leonardo DiCaprio's The Beach was set. It's a stunning stop surrounded by cliffs on three sides. Next, we pass by Monkey Beach for a photo stop – named for the troops of inquisitive monkeys that hang out here.
At Pileh lagoon, towering cliffs surround the emerald water. You can take a dip here before heading to Phi Phi Don for a hike up to a wow-factor viewpoint. Because we arrive before most other tours, you'll have unspoiled views for the perfect holiday snap. Later there's a picnic lunch on beautiful Bamboo Island and free time to relax under the sun or snorkel the coral reefs.
