From Koh Phi Phi: Private Long-Tail Boat to Maya Bay and Pileh with Thai Lunch and Snorkeling

Explore Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, and top Phi Phi snorkeling spots on a 5-hour private long-tail boat with Thai lunch included.

Getting started

Begin by boarding your private long-tail boat in Koh Phi Phi at your chosen departure time between 6:00 am and 12:00 pm. Your local Thai captain will welcome your group only and set course for Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon. Settle in as you cruise away from the island, with all logistics arranged on a per-boat basis for up to 15 guests.

What to expect

Maya Bay

Maya Bay is the headline stop on this 5-hour route, known for its sheltered bay and clear water. Choosing a 6:00 am departure lets you reach Maya Bay early in the morning before the day-trip boats from Phuket and Krabi arrive.

Features

• Your private long-tail boat with a Thai captain for 5 hours brings you directly into Maya Bay, with the route and timing focused on your group only.
• Early-morning access gives you time to take in the bay and its surroundings before larger crowds begin to arrive later in the day.

Pileh Lagoon

Pileh Lagoon is a calm, enclosed lagoon included on your route from Koh Phi Phi. The captain navigates the long-tail boat into the lagoon so you can enjoy its quiet water environment as a contrast to the open sea sections.

Features

• Time inside Pileh Lagoon is part of your 5-hour private long-tail boat experience, with your Thai captain handling all navigation so you can stay on board and look out over the limestone surroundings.
• Drinking water and fresh seasonal fruit are available on the boat, giving you something light to enjoy while you pause inside the lagoon.

Viking Cave and Loh Samah Bay

Viking Cave and Loh Samah Bay are included as separate stops on your route. You pass by Viking Cave and visit Loh Samah Bay as part of the circuit around the islands.

Features

• The route includes a visit to Viking Cave and a stop at Loh Samah Bay, so you experience both this cave area and a compact bay setting during the same outing.
• Life jackets, snorkeling masks, and snorkels are provided on the boat, so you have essential gear ready when conditions are suitable near these locations.

Table Coral

Table Coral is one of the dedicated snorkeling locations on this experience. It is included in your circuit along with other snorkeling-focused stops.

Features

• Your visit to Table Coral is part of the planned route, giving you access to a named snorkeling area as you move between the bays.
• Snorkeling masks, snorkels, and life jackets are available so you can use the provided equipment at Table Coral without bringing your own gear.

Monkey Beach

Monkey Beach is a snorkeling stop included on the tour. It is one of the locations where you get into the water rather than remaining on the boat.

Features

• Snorkeling at Monkey Beach is built into the itinerary, adding a shoreline stop to complement the open-water snorkeling points on your journey.
• Drinking water and fresh seasonal fruit remain available on board, so you can rehydrate and snack after time in the sea at Monkey Beach.

Wang Long Bay

Wang Long Bay is another snorkeling area included on the route. It rounds out the list of named snorkeling stops for this 5-hour excursion.

Features

• Snorkeling at Wang Long Bay lets you spend additional time in the water at a different location, complementing Monkey Beach and Table Coral on the same private outing.
• Travel accident insurance is included for all participants during the experience, adding an additional layer of coverage while you snorkel at Wang Long Bay and the other stops.

Onboard Thai lunch

Your boat day includes a simple meal and refreshments served on board, so you do not have to plan food separately. Lunch is provided for the group and is priced per boat, not per person.

Features

• A Thai fried rice lunch is included for everyone on the boat, with vegetarian options available so different dietary preferences can be accommodated within the same group.
• Fresh seasonal fruit and drinking water are provided alongside lunch, giving you light, hydrating options between stops without needing to purchase additional refreshments.
