Private Phi Phi VIP Speedboat: Maya Bay, Monkey Beach & Bamboo Island
A private speedboat day trip that links Phi Phi Don, Maya Bay, Monkey Beach and Bamboo Island—ideal for snorkel time, cliff views, and a customizable island itinerary. Morning departures give the best light and calmer seas; transfers from Phuket hotels are usually included.
The Experience
Before You Go
Beat the swells
Choose an early departure—morning crossings are typically calmer and offer clearer snorkeling visibility.
Protect reefs and skin
Use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid touching coral to preserve reefs and prevent sunburn.
Secure your gear
Bring a small dry bag and clip valuables when boarding; waves and spray are constant companions on a speedboat.
Respect wildlife on shore
Keep distance from monkeys at Monkey Beach; they are wild and can be aggressive for food.
