Koh Phi Phi Itineraries: Day Charters and Multi-Day Routes
Koh Phi Phi’s compact island group packs extraordinary variety into short passages. The itineraries below cover different ground, so guests can combine the 3-day and 4-day routes into a 7-day voyage without repeating a stop.
Day Charter Routes from Koh Phi Phi
Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon
Depart Tonsai Bay at first light for Maya Bay (10 minutes by tender). Experience the beach before the crowds, then cruise to Pileh Lagoon for snorkelling in the turquoise pool. Pass Viking Cave on the return, with lunch on the aft deck and an afternoon swim at Loh Samah Bay before heading back to Tonsai.
Bamboo Island and Koh Young Snorkel Day
Cruise 40 minutes north to Bamboo Island for a morning on the finest coral reef in the Phi Phi group. Continue to Koh Young (Mosquito Island) for a quieter afternoon snorkel in shallow, clear water. Return to Phi Phi Don for a sunset on the aft deck.
Bida Islands Dive Day
A full day of diving at Koh Bida Nok and Koh Bida Nai, where wall dives drop to 25+ metres past blacktip reef sharks, leopard sharks and sea turtles. Surface interval at a quiet Phi Phi Leh anchorage, with your chef serving lunch between dives.
3-Day Koh Phi Phi Yacht Charter Itinerary: Islands, Reefs and Hidden Lagoons
Day 1: Phi Phi Don – Tonsai Bay and Monkey Beach
Arrive at Tonsai Bay, settle aboard and spend the afternoon snorkelling at Monkey Beach. Watch the long-tailed macaques play on the shoreline rocks as you swim over the reef in 5–10 metres. Evening on the aft deck with Thai seafood and a view of the lights coming on across Tonsai’s hillside.
Day 2: Koh Phi Phi Leh – Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon and Viking Cave
Rise early for Maya Bay at first light. Experience the 250-metre beach in near-solitude, snorkel in the crystalline shallows, then cruise to Pileh Lagoon for a swim in its turquoise pool. Pass Viking Cave in the afternoon and anchor at Loh Samah Bay for a wall dive along the Phi Phi Leh drop-off (blacktip reef sharks, turtles, schooling barracuda). A magical day.
Day 3: Bamboo Island and Koh Young, Return to Base
Morning snorkel at Bamboo Island’s pristine coral garden, then continue to Koh Young for a quieter afternoon in the water. Farewell lunch on the aft deck as you cruise back to Phi Phi Don or set course for Phuket/Krabi.
4-Day Koh Phi Phi Yacht Charter Itinerary: Deep Andaman Exploration
Day 1: Phi Phi Don to Koh Lanta
Depart Tonsai Bay and cruise roughly 20 nautical miles south to Koh Lanta. Explore the island’s western beaches – long stretches of white sand backed by jungle, with very few other boats. Visit the Old Town’s stilted sea-gypsy houses in the afternoon and enjoy a beachfront dinner ashore or on the aft deck.
Day 2: Koh Haa – Cathedral Cavern Dive
Cruise to the Koh Haa archipelago for a morning dive through the cathedral cavern – a cavernous swim-through opening at 14 metres, with exceptional visibility and soft coral on every surface. Afternoon snorkelling around the five uninhabited limestone islands. Overnight anchorage in the peaceful waters of Koh Haa.
Day 3: Koh Haa to Bida Islands, Return to Phi Phi
Cruise north to the Bida Islands for a morning wall dive (blacktip sharks, leopard sharks, turtles). Surface interval with lunch on the aft deck, then a second dive or snorkel at Koh Bida Nai. Cruise to Phi Phi Don for an overnight anchorage.
Day 4: Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon, Departure
A final early-morning visit to Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon – the perfect bookend to the trip. Farewell lunch on the aft deck as you cruise to Phuket or Krabi.
Guests looking for a full week can combine the 3-day Phi Phi itinerary with the 4-day deep Andaman route for a comprehensive 7-day charter covering every highlight from Bamboo Island to Koh Haa without repeating a stop.
