Setting out from Krabi towards the Phi Phi islands has an advantage many appreciate: fewer boats and a calmer atmosphere than from Phuket, especially on the first stops of the morning.
After an hour's crossing, the boat reaches Maya Bay, where access is now regulated to protect the reefs. A side pontoon lets boats dock without damaging the coral, then a short path leads to the beach. The route continues to Pileh Lagoon, passes Viking Cave — known for its rock paintings and the harvesting of swiftlet nests — then reaches Monkey Beach. Lunch on Phi Phi Don and a snorkelling session.
Good to know: the child rate is 41 € by speed boat and 57 € by speed catamaran, and the excursion is free up to and including age 3.
