This Phi Phi island tour by speedboat starts early from Railay Beach in Krabi, so you reach the Phi Phi Islands ahead of the main crowds. It combines Phi Phi’s highlights, including Pileh Lagoon, the Viking Cave and Maya Bay, with Krabi’s 4 Islands: the Talay Waek sandbar, Chicken Island, Poda Island and Bamboo Island. It is a full day of island hopping, with lunch and transfers included.

- Reef-safe sunscreen, hat and sunglasses
- Cash for national park fees, which are not included (Phi Phi and the Krabi islands are in a national park; the team will confirm current amounts)

Tips from our team
- Pack the night before; the early start is worth it for quieter beaches.
