We make our way to Phi Phi, where Maya Bay and Lohsama Bay are the first stops. At the famous Maya Bay, it's not allowed to swim, but we can enter the beach to take some photos. At Lohsama Bay you can go swimming or snorkeling to enjoy the underwater life. Please note that Maya Bay & Lohsama Bay are closed between 1 August and 30 September.
This is a unique lagoon with high towering cliffs and crystal clear water. Jump off the boat for a swim, take pictures and enjoy the surroundings!
We pass Viking Cave, a unique photo opportunity as this cave is inhabited by birds. You'll see the birds' nests right on the cave entrance against the walls of the rocks.
We make a short stop at the famous Monkey Beach, a short strip of beach where monkeys live. Don't feed them please, they can be aggressive when approached with food. It's a nice photo opportunity though!
Another great snorkeling stop is at Bamboo Island. You'll see powdery sands, crystal clear waters on this beautiful island. Go swimming or snorkeling here.
We pass by Tang Ming. This small uninhabited island is a beautiful scenic spot from the boat. We'll enjoy the scenic view and take photos of the island from the longtail boat.
As the sun begins to set, we head to Poda Island. A tasty BBQ buffet is served here. Thai style, with halal and vegetarian options available.
When the sun is down, it's time to jump in for a plankton swim. These little creatures light up in the dark, which is a once in a lifetime experience! Swim with plankton that look like thousands of bright blue dots.
At around 18:30, it's time to board the speedboat and head back to the pier. Enjoy the 30-minute speedboat ride back to Nopparat Thara.
