 Me at Maya Bay (The Leonardo
Beach) by picknick
Update 2 June 2008: Lots of people asking me which agent I booked from. If you are at Patong Beach, the entire stretch is full of travel agents, so just ask a few, look for the best prices, do some bargaining, etc. I usually book from the smaller stalls. I am very sure the price I paid for is definitely not the cheapest. Btw, it is usually more expensive to book tours from your hotel.
The tour brings us to a few sights on the big and small Phi Phi Islands, with 2 stops for snorkelling, one stop on Maya Bay for swimming, one stop on Tonsai Bay for lunch, and finally a 1hr stop on Khai Island beach for swimming.
A minibus picked us up from our hotel in Patong beach at 8am. We arrived at Boat Lagoon Marina, where we have some briefing and rented fins for 100THB/pair. Snorkel & lifejackets are provided free. Then it's off to sea on the 23 seater speedboat.
The first stop of the tour is Maya Bay, on Ko Phi Phi Leh. This is where Leonardo DiCaprio shot the movie The Beach. This place has not been the same ever since. Rows of speedboats are parked at the beach, with a small area left for swimmers. This is a picture of me at Maya Bay on the smaller Phi Phi Island. Leave a Comment Directions: Speedboat by Seaway

If you have time for only one day tour, please take this one!! Booked our tour through Phuket-travel.com, comes with the Phuket Discovery Package but we upgraded ours from the tour by Expressboat to the tour by Speedboat and trust me, you will want to, too!! The extra money you'll be paying is well worth the difference of taking this tour by speedboat than by the big expressboat that will get you to the islands twice the amount of time it'll take you to get there when on a speedboat. Plus, i have heard a lot of horror stories of people getting sick on the expressboat but thankfully, I didn't see any of that with our speedboat. Also, I didn't see any of the expressboats dock into the smaller coves so I assume that they can only see from afar what people on the speedboat get to enjoy.
Going to the Boat Lagoon is about 45 minutes, upon getting here, you are greeted and asked to try on flippers for snorkelling. Don't lose this as you will have to pay a fee if you do, same goes for the masks they will give on the boat. After you have your flippers, you are asked to wait in the lobby where free instant tea and instant coffee is served.
At the Boat Lagoon, while everyone else were having their free coffee and tea at the lobby while waiting for the boat, we had an insider tip from one of the people staying there that we could go up to the rooftop and have a great view of the Marina from there so up we went and it was indeed a great spot to take photos of the many boats and yachts docked here. Beautiful on a clear sunny day!
There were about 20 of us on the speedboat. Try to get a seat in the front so you get first view of the destinations plus a healthy dose of seawater splash! We had a fantastic funny guide, Mr. Boi and given fresh fruits and softdrinks the whole time. Got to see Maya Bay (from The Beach), snorkelling near Bamboo Island, a glimpse of Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nai.
This was definitely the best trip ever!!

 PhiPhi Transport by Myndo
It has quite steep rims.
Under the water it is a wonderful place to snorkel or dive.
I would recommend everyone to snorkel around here. You can almost see as much as if you are diving.
Just two words of warning: use a high sunscrean and wear a T-shirt if you snorkel. People tend to forget the time when doing this (I am no exception and there is no excuse for the sunburn I got)
and second: this more for your environment: do not stand on the corals! It kills them.
On the picture you see the classical water taxi around here. A long boat that is powered by a diesel engine and with a ships propeller on a long stick (you will know what I mean, when you see it) Leave a Comment Directions: Phi Phi island

 Monkey beach by picknick
There are many spiky Sea Urchins here, somebody actually stepped on one during this trip, so be careful and wear fins to be safe.
This is stop 4 of tour, snorkelling location 2.
There is supposed to be another snorkelling location at Hin Klang, a beautiful coral reef area, but due to whatever reasons, we won't be going there, a pity. Leave a Comment

Before I end this series of Phi Phi by speedboat tips, I just have to mention the fact that ew were treated like royalty on our boat. If you are going to book this tour, please look for the tour where Mr. Boi is the guide. We booked our tour through Phuket-travel.com so I don't know what specific tour operator they worked for though. :(
But we had the best time at sea!! And all thanks to the wonderful staff, the captain, Mr. Boi, our guide and the crew who made sure we were all comfortable all the time: offering us fruits and drinks every ten minutes, offering to take our photos, giving us trivia about the palces we visited, entertaining us with jokes, stories and even, dances. :)

 The Beach, Phi Phi by Myndo
It is still a wonderful place on this earth, but now maybe a little too touristy. Many people come here.
On the picture you can see "the Beach" -and also how many boats are lying there....
the place is still great for snorkeling and diving.
Phi Phi Don is the bigger of the two PhiPhi islands and actually it is like two islands connected by a very small coral-bridge with palms and beaches on both sides.
I think there still is something left of the magic of this place and it is worth a trip and at least one nights stay. Leave a Comment Address: 50 km south of PhuketDirections: Phi Phi islands can only reached by ferry. 2 hours drive from Phuket or Krabi or Lanta (Lanta only in winter)

 Tonsai Bay by picknick
This is third stop of the tour. We had a brief stop outside the Viking cave for a distant look at the cave, but that doesn't really count I guess. Leave a Comment Directions: Speedboat by Seaway
