Summary:
Really well organized, Noi was a great guide with lots of knowledge and great conversation.
It was raining when we got to monkey beach so nothing to see, but had extra time at a different stop snorkeling.
100% book the early trip as maya bay was empty with only one other boat there. Upon leaving it unbelievably crowded.
When getting back there was a buffet lunch provided before transport back to the hotels which we declined to get a taxi into the old town.

Summary:
4.50 am pick up for sunrise tour. Greeted with light breakfast to start the day. Unfortunately no sunrise this morning but the bonus was the day was not as crowded because we beat the crowds of people who visit these beautiful places. Led by Sara with Wot and our ship captain we stopped at Maya Bay, had 2 snorkelling stops, time to explore a private beach, and saw beautiful fish, baby sharks, as well as monkeys in their own habitat. Fed from start to finish with fresh fruit, banana bread, sticky rice, and a buffet lunch back in port. The team were fabulous and would highly recommend getting up early for this experience.

Summary:
A fabulous trip with Harry and the crew. Everything was superb from the pick up to drop off. Being so early meant we missed the crowds on Maya Beach so were able to enjoy it fully. They did everything they could to make the day so enjoyable, lots of snacks, fresh fruits and constant soft drinks, finishing off with a great Thai lunch. Would highly recommend this trip.

Know more about Si Sunthon
You’ll join a #1 ranked speedboat tour company with 20 years’ experience, over 4,000 reviews and a 95% five-star rating. Tours focus on high-quality service, small groups (average 15, max 18) and avoiding crowds, so you get an intimate, well-paced day exploring Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Bamboo Island (when applicable), Viking Cave and a private island picnic.
During August and September the Phi Phi National Park closes Maya Bay to allow ecosystem rejuvenation; during those months the tour visits the stunning Bamboo Island instead. Outside of that closure window you’ll have the opportunity to visit Maya Bay and enjoy your beach picnic.
Two snorkelling stops are included, and snorkelling equipment is provided as part of the tour inclusions. You’ll also have opportunities to swim off the boat in Pileh Lagoon and at island beaches, so bring swimwear, a towel and reef-safe sunscreen.
You’ll enjoy a picnic breakfast on the beach, a swim in Pileh Lagoon, two snorkelling stops abundant with marine life, a visit to Viking Cave, watching monkeys in their natural habitat, and downtime on a private island under a coconut tree - all delivered in small-group style for a relaxed experience.
The tour is family-friendly and suitable for a range of fitness levels; children must be accompanied by an adult. Small group sizes make it easier to look after kids while you snorkel, swim and relax on the private island.
You’ll be on one of the smallest group tours in Phuket - the company averages 15 people and caps groups at 18. Seats are limited, so it’s recommended you book in advance to secure your spot and enjoy a less-crowded, high-quality experience.
