Alluring destinations such as Thailand’s Phi Phi Islands do not have to be fully enjoyed while staying on the island itself. Within a short boat ride from popular holiday destinations such as Krabi, these groups of stunning islands are within easy reach for a full day excursion where the magic of these bounty-style islands are displayed in its full glory. Small in size, this part of Thailand has gained name and fame after the Hollywood blockbuster ‘The Beach’ was launched; also the exact spot where Leonardo DiCaprio wandered around during the shooting will be included, giving you a unique opportunity to become a part of a natural Hollywood film set!
This ultimate tropical island experience starts with a shared transfer from selected Krabi beaches to the main boat pier for a ferry ride to the Phi Phi Islands. Within 45 minutes, the cliffs and islets of this National Marine Park and sun-drenched hideaway for a romantic stay, raising high above sea level will appear above the horizon. We drop anchor at Bamboo Island and Hin Klang, destinations which can be circumnavigated on foot in less than an hour. But what makes these places more special is when you don yourself with a snorkel and mask to view the abundant tropical fish swimming over the coral close to shore.
The itinerary includes a visit to Phi Phi Ley, an uninhabited island that lies 1.5 kilometers off the southernmost tip of Phi Phi Don. This excursion offers stunning views of vertical cliffs at no additional charge, capped with green foliage that give way to small sandy beaches and tropical coral seas. Traditional Thai food is served for lunch at Tonsai Bay, the main village on Phi Phi. On the return, a stop is made at Maya Bay Island, the idyllic location where the movie ‘The Beach’ was filmed, set against a lagoon with azure-blue waters. Yes, here too, snorkeling is included! Before we make our way back to Krabi, you have the chance to take a sneak peek into the Viking Cave, a protected region where seafaring people have left their stories and fables painted against the walls
A tour that encompasses all the elements for a beautiful day out in the tropics: soak up the sun, relaxing on the magnificent white sandy beach in the beautiful tropical scenery. But like many other excellent tours, this one too has come to an end as you make your way back to your Krabi hotel at the end of the afternoon.
