The 15 Snorkeling in Phi Phi Worth Setting An Alarm For

1.Half-Day Longtail Boat Tour with Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 1,733 reviews · 4 hours · from $24Our pick

Join a small-group longtail boat trip from Koh Phi Phi to Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pileh Lagoon, Loh Samah Bay, and Maya Bay. You’ll swim, snorkel with provided gear, see dramatic limestone shores, and enjoy fruit and water onboard. Choose 2 PM for sunset and a possible glowing-plankton stop.

“The weather unfortunately wasn’t on our side but we still had the best day! The spots you go to on this tour are absolutely gorgeous. The snorkelling was great and we had a perfect amount of time at each stop (except Maya bay - we found this very boring and over rated. It’s such a tourist trap). Still worth seeing though :) Guides were great and friendly and everything ran smoothly! Highly recommend :)”

10.Full Day Snorkeling Trip by Longtail Boat

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 96 reviews · 9 hours · from $40

You’ll spend a full day on a traditional longtail boat from Phi Phi, stopping at Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pi Leh Lagoon, Maya Bay, Bamboo Island, and Shark Point. Expect snorkeling, a simple lunch, sunset at sea, and a night swim with luminescent plankton. The shared boat can feel basic and crowded, so comfort matters.

“Pésimo servicio, he sentido que he perdido tiempo y 1 día de mis vacaciones. Nuestros guías eran 2 chicos, el más joven era muy amable pero el otro no, además de que ha faltado el respeto a 1 compañera gritándole porque supuestamente íbamos a Maya Bay lo cual para ingresar ahí nos cobraron 400bths por persona pero no tiene sentido porque Maya Bay ahora mismo está cerrado y no se puede ingresar ni a Maya Bay ni al Parque Nacional por lo tanto querían quedarse con los 400bths y fue lo que pasó. No nos devolvieron nada a ninguna de las 12 personas que íbamos a esa excursión.”

12.Half-Day Phi Phi Snorkeling Trip by Longtail Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 38 reviews · 4 hours · from $26

Set out from Phi Phi Don by traditional longtail boat for a four-hour circuit of Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pi Leh Lagoon, Loh Samah Bay, and Maya Bay. You’ll get snorkeling gear, water, fruit, and a Thai or English-speaking guide. The trip offers striking cliff views at a low price, but short stops and busy sights require realistic expectations.

“Wij moesten zelf kwartier op voorhand aanwezig zijn terwijl de contactpersoon te laat arriveerde. Inmiddels hadden wij een kwartier gezocht en van een plek naar de andere gehold. Monkey Beach kan beter omschreven worden als Dirty Beach (overal afval, maar misschien wel expres om de apen aan te trekken) Maya Beach mooi maar enkel foto's mogelijk vanwege het herstelprogramma van het koraalrif. Geen probleem want nodig. Half uurtje snorkelen is genoeg wat weinig te zien. En natuurlijk massa's volk die zich hebben laten verleiden tot deze toer. Kortom voor mij juist niet gebuisd.”
