Meeting point
Relax Bar, Tonsai Village, Koh Phi Phi Don. Please be there at 11:30 AM. Koh Phi Phi belongs to Krabi province, so some map apps show Krabi: the meeting point is on Koh Phi Phi island. The boat returns around 7:30 PM, after the last ferries to Phuket and Krabi, so you need to stay on Koh Phi Phi that night.
What to bring
Swimwear, a light T-shirt, towel, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, a light layer for the evening, and cash for the park fee.
Know before you go
Maya Bay is managed by the national park: visitor quota, swimming only in the marked zone, no snorkeling inside the bay. Maya Bay is closed every year from 1 August to 30 September; on those dates the boat passes in front of the bay and the rest of the program stays the same.
Weather: the trip runs in light rain and the crew adapts the order of the stops. If the national park closes the sites or the marine authorities stop departures, you can change the date or get a full refund.
Late arrival: the boat leaves on time. A missed departure is not refundable.
Swim in the emerald waters of Pileh Lagoon
Snorkel the shallow table-coral gardens at Table Coral City
Meet the macaques at Monkey Beach
