What to expect

This Phi Phi Islands early morning tour starts one hour earlier than most other tours to get to Koh Phi Phi before all the other speedboats arrive from Phuket and Krabi. So you can enjoy more of the natural beauty without the crowds.

In recent years as Thailand tourist numbers have swelled Phi Phi Islands has become a victim of it’s own success. Some areas like Maya bay, the most popular spot at Phi Phi, can get so full of day trip tour boats that it’s hard to see the beach. By going early you get to see Phi Phi as it should be, for a while at least.

The speedboats take 10-30 passengers (30 is the maximum).

Lunch (a Thai food buffet) is served at Bamboo Island where there is time to relax on the beach, swim or do some more snorkeling.
