An island day with more ways to enjoy the sea

From Khai Island’s sandy shoreline to Phi Phi’s dramatic cliffs and the waters around Maiton, this trip brings together sightseeing, snorkeling and playful moments at sea. Travel aboard Tip-Top, a double-deck speed catamaran with covered seating, open-air viewpoints and a colorful waterslide.

It is a full day for travelers who want to explore several destinations and enjoy activities along the way.

Enjoy the journey aboard Tip-Top

Settle into the covered seating area between island stops, then enjoy the sea views from the boat’s open-air spaces when the crew allows access. The blue upholstered seats, spacious bow and upper deck offer different settings for relaxing and taking photos.

Start with beach time at Khai Island

Khai Island gives your day a relaxed beginning. Spend time on the beach, enjoy the coastal scenery or join the snorkeling activities. It is a chance to ease into the day before continuing toward Phi Phi.

Discover Phi Phi above and below the water

Cruise among limestone cliffs, look out for monkeys at Monkey Point and enjoy sightseeing near Viking Cave. A snorkeling stop introduces another side of the islands, with opportunities to spot reef fish and marine life.

Wildlife sightings and underwater visibility vary with natural conditions.

Pileh Lagoon: towering cliffs and emerald water

Surrounded by steep limestone walls, Pileh Lagoon is one of the route’s most memorable landscapes. Take in the scenery and enjoy time in the water when conditions and the crew’s instructions permit.

Maya Bay: a beautiful pause in the adventure

Follow the nature walkway to Maya Bay and enjoy the beach scenery framed by towering cliffs. Take photographs, slow down and appreciate one of Phi Phi Leh’s most recognizable views.

Access and activities follow the national park’s operating rules on the travel date.

Maiton: finish with water fun

The waters around Maiton Island bring a playful finish to the day. Enjoy the boat’s waterslide, try the clear kayak or paddleboard, and join snorkeling activities as conditions allow.

This stop focuses on activities offshore; a landing on Maiton’s private beach is not included in the itinerary.

Breakfast before departure, lunch beside the sea

Begin with breakfast, snacks, bakery items, coffee and tea at check-in. At midday, take a break at a seaside restaurant on Phi Phi Don for a buffet lunch, followed by time to relax or stroll along the beach. Vegetarian food can be requested when booking.
