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 surrounded by cliffs on three sides making it a stunning stop. Next, head to Monkey Beach, so named for the troops of inquisitive monkeys that hang out here.
Our favourite stop is at the Pileh lagoon – towering cliffs surround the emerald water and you’ll have plenty of time to take a dip. Arriving before most other tours means you’ll have views unspoilt by other boats and can get the perfect holiday snap. Later you’ll be served a buffet lunch and then you can relax under the sun or snorkel the coral reefs.
