Overview

Our planned itinerary allows us to snorkel with the Plankton in Maya Bay. We now have access to the beach from the rear entry. ​To see the bay without any boats moored and not a single person or footprint in the sand is truly a sight to behold As we arrive in the bay in the afternoon you will most likely be the last people on the beach for that day. If the weather conditions do not suit mooring in Maya Bay we have several other options that are just as beautiful including Loh Moo Dee Beach, Plieh bay and Loh Sama bay or Monkey Beach. Each of these locations has an abundance of sparkling bioluminescent plankton so you will get to experience the psychedelic underwater show. Wherever we end up we promise you will have the experience of a life time.

Meeting points

Our office is a 5-minute walk from the main pier on Phi Phi Don. You can use Google maps (Maya Bay Sleepaboard) for directions.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • Maya Bay

    Our first stop is Viking Caves for a photo and then onto the stunning Pileh bay for snorkeling and kayaking. We can usually spot some harmless black-tipped reef sharks if you are quiet enough.

    2 minutes

  • Maya Bay

    After a snack of fresh fruit, we then head to Maya Bay entering through the rear entrance. You will have access to the beach. As we arrive the day-trippers will be leaving and we will be left with our own paradise so you are free to explore whilst the sun goes down.

    2 hours

  • Maya Bay

    round 6:30 pm it’s time for a delicious all-you-can-eat Thai feast. Special diets are catered for with individual meals. After your meal has settled, put on your life jacket, masks and snorkels and swim with the glowing plankton. Submerge your head in the sea, agitate the water to make the plankton glow to experience a liquid starry night and a truly magical kaleidoscopic light show After you have had enough swimming with the plankton you can enjoy the magnificent nighttime view as we return to Phi Phi Don Tonsai Pier around 9 pm. Remember there are no boats back to Phuket or Krabi at that time. You will need accommodation on Phi Phi Island.

Great trip

Published on Nov, 2024

Great experience - friendly team made sure everyone felt welcome and got involved. Maya bay amazing. Party on way back was a bonus! Thanks to all the team for making it memorable.

Most perfect and memorable experience!

Published on May, 2024

We had the most perfect and memorable experience. Our guide "Cream" & his team went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed every minute of it!! Every stop was unique & beautiful. First we enjoyed the snorkeling & saw some lovely coral and fish. The views of Maya bay was breathtaking. the sunset kayaking was relaxing & it was super exciting to swim with the plankton! Our guide was very informative and always helpful at all the stops. We had unlimited water and cool drinks on board. We are vegetarians and the crew made sure to cook a separate meal for us - the rice, thai curry and vegetables were delicious!! The boat was clean and spacious and the dinner on the upper deck was a unique experience :)

Great family friendly tour!

The staff was great and so was the food. The beaches were amazing and swimming was so fun. The plankton did not disappoint!

Great trip to Maya bay

Published on May, 2023

It was very great experience. My wife and I enjoyed the trip. Snorkling and sun bath in Maya bay was really awesome. And I want the video which my wife and I jumped out the boat. Please send the video via email. My email address is seoungjong@gmail.com. Thank you.

Fantastic Experience

Published on Mar, 2020

This was by far the highlight of my trip in Ko Phi Phi/Phuket. We met at the tour shop at 3PM and left as a group to the pier. We took a smaller boat initially and transferred to the main boat. The boat was very clean and had 3 floors to it. I can't remember the tour guides name but he was very friendly and explained the tour very well. He stopped by a couple key spots and briefly mentioned the history. We stopped in 2 different bays, kayaked and snorkeled. If you have a GoPro, defintiely take it. You can get some beautiful shots. They also allowed us to jump off the 3rd floor of the boat. We got to see the beach where they filmed "The Beach" (although we could not go) but were able to swim on the other side. A home cooked dinner (fresh veggies and green curry) were cooked by several sweet ladies. They took very good care of us. As far as the plankton..I know it's supposed to be the highlight but for me it was not all that great. We also had a hard time seeing the plankton because a full moon was out. But don't let that stop you because I would go on this trip again and again.
