Maya Bay: what is allowed now

Maya Bay is open to visitors outside its annual closure (August and September). Boats land at a jetty behind the beach, swimming in the bay is not allowed, and rangers may limit visits on rough days. National park fees are paid separately; the team will confirm the current amount when you book.

Asia Marina Pier and pickup

Many Phi Phi speedboats leave from piers on Phuket’s east coast, around Ao Po, Koh Kaew and Koh Siray. This tour uses the operator’s private pier; your confirmation will name the pier and pickup time. Pickup is free from Patong, Kalim, Kata, Karon, Kathu, Phuket Town and Koh Siray, with surcharges for other areas.

What to bring

• Swimwear, towel, hat and sunglasses.
• Reef-safe sunscreen and a waterproof phone pouch.
• Cash for park fees and drinks.
• Seasickness tablets if you need them.

Tips

• Prone to seasickness? Our big boat Phi Phi tour is more stable.
• Keep bags closed near Monkey Beach and do not feed the monkeys.
• The Khai Islands are ideal for young children because the water is shallow.
