Before you book: what to know
- Maya Bay: you step onto the beach, but swimming is not allowed, and the bay is closed from 1 August to 30 September. See the Phi Phi Islands page.
- Park entrance fee: 400 THB per adult for Phi Phi according to our 3-day itinerary; check whether it is included or optional.
- Sea: from May to October, swell can make the crossing rough and cancel departures. See the best time to visit.
- Crowds: all the boats visit Maya at the same hours; the earlier the departure, the fewer people.
Maya, Phi Phi and Bamboo with buffet
This is the most complete option: about 50 minutes of free time at Maya, a snorkeling stop at Bamboo, a buffet, with hotel pickup. The group is 35 to 70 passengers according to the listing. Take it if you want to see the most sites in one day without organizing anything. It is worth it for the balance of price, duration and reviews.
Phi Phi and Maya with lunch
The trip with lunch is the cheapest of the three: one snorkeling stop and a buffet on Phi Phi Don. One traveler reports that the optional longtail boat in Pileh Lagoon cost 400 THB instead of the 300 listed: bring cash for extras. It is worth it if budget comes first.
Sea Angel, Phi Phi and Khai
The listing states that the park entrance fee is not included unless you take the option. That helps you know what you pay, but makes the advertised prices harder to compare: add the fee before comparing with the other trips. It is worth it for those who want an itemized price.
Which one to choose?
- First visit: Maya, Phi Phi and Bamboo with buffet.
- Tight budget: Phi Phi and Maya with lunch.
- Itemized price: Sea Angel with the park option.
- No organized trip: the Phuket – Phi Phi ferry, to sleep on the island.
- Quieter: Phang Nga Bay or Racha Island.
