A trip to the famous Phi Phi Islands is almost compulsory in Thailand, and an early start gives you the chance to discover their beauty without crowds of tourists. A speedboat ride takes you to the best beaches on the islands where you can swim, snorkel and relax. And with Monkey beach, Viking Cave and Pileh Lagoon on the itinerary it's sure to be a great day.
Kick off by passing the famous Maya Bay – where Leonardo DiCaprio's The Beach was set. It's a stunning stop surrounded by cliffs on three sides. Next, we pass by Monkey Beach for a photo stop – so named for the troops of inquisitive monkeys that hang out here.
At Pileh lagoon, towering cliffs surround the emerald water. You can take a dip here, or hike up to the jaw dropping viewpoint. And because we arrive before most other tours, you'll have unspoiled views, ideal for the perfect holiday snap. Later there's a picnic lunch on beautiful Bamboo Island and free time to relax under the sun or snorkel the coral reefs.
