Who It Suits and What to Know
V. Marine’s sunrise speedboat starts the Phi Phi day in the dark: breakfast on Khai Nai island as the sun comes up, then Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Phi Phi Don and Monkey Beach, a seaview buffet lunch at a resort on Phi Phi, and Bamboo Island. Rated 4.9 from 1,712 reviews. The park fee and hotel transfers are included.
Who it suits: anyone who wants to reach the bays before most of the day boats; reviewers say it beat the crowds. Who should look elsewhere: pregnant travellers, children under 3, wheelchair users and people with back or heart problems or motion sickness (the day is not suitable for them).
What to know before you book:
- Pickup. From your hotel in Phuket, with the time emailed by 17:00 the day before; about 40 minutes by van to Royal Phuket Marina.
- The order. A 30-minute crossing to Khai Nai for breakfast at sunrise (an hour), then Maya Bay (40 minutes), Pileh Lagoon, Phi Phi Don for snorkelling, Monkey Beach, lunch (80 minutes) and Bamboo Island (an hour), then about an hour back. About 9 hours in all.
- Included. The national park fee, hotel transfers, the breakfast and lunch (vegetarian and vegan on request), soft drinks and fruit, snorkelling gear with new mouthpieces, fins, life jacket, seasick pills, a toilet on board and insurance.
- The sunrise. It depends on the sky; on a rainy morning the operator may move you to its standard full day instead.
