About Phi Phi Islands
Made world-famous by the film “The Beach”, the Phi Phi Islands are the headline destination of the Andaman coast. From Ao Nang you reach them in roughly 1.5–2 hours, passing open sea before the dramatic karst cliffs of Phi Phi Leh rise out of the water.
A private full-day tour is the calmest way to see Phi Phi: arrive at Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon early, snorkel quiet reefs, then relax over lunch while the big group boats move on. Ideal for couples and small groups staying at Green Paradise Resort.
Highlights
- Maya Bay — the iconic cliff-ringed beach
- Pileh Lagoon — brilliant turquoise swimming spot
- Viking Cave & Monkey Beach
- Snorkelling at Loh Samah and reef bays
How we do this tour
We arrange this as a private trip from Ao Nang on a longtail boat, speedboat or our private catamaran — whichever suits your group, budget and the sea conditions. Your itinerary and timing are built around you, not a fixed group schedule.
Pricing: We quote authentic local prices based on your group size, the boat you choose and the season. Optional extras (private chef, romantic set-up, extra stops) are quoted on request — no inflated tourist mark-ups.
Good to know
- Maya Bay is a protected national park with its own entry rules and fees (typically 400 THB per foreign adult for Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park), payable locally. Access rules can change seasonally.
- It's a full-day trip — leave early for the calmest sea and fewest crowds.
- Best in high season (November–April); seas can be rough off-season.
Best for: Travellers who want the most famous islands in the Andaman and don't mind a longer day on the water. · Travel time: ~1.5–2 hours from Ao Nang
What our island-tour guests say
Lovely houses that were perfect for us as a family! We really appreciated the hosts, who were welcoming and helpful with everything. And the place was in the middle of nature and offered a view of the Buddha! We loved both the accommodation and the pool.
Magnificent villa and the hosts are really friendly too. I recommend it to everyone.
A wonderful stay. The best villa for a family of 10 people. Spacious, clean, with top-quality service provided from start to finish. The owner and co-owner were absolutely fantastic — any issue was resolved immediately. If I had another family celebration, this is the place I'd go. Thank you.
Very satisfied with our stay in this villa. The host was very communicative and helpful. I highly recommend this villa to anyone thinking of staying here. Thank you so much.
