Phuket: Phi Phi Islands, Maya Bay & Khai Islands Power Catamaran Tour

Maya Bay's limestone cliffs and the clear waters around the Khai Islands are among the reasons Phuket remains a launchpad for day trips into the Andaman Sea. This catamaran tour links three of the region's best-known island stops in a single day, giving you a mix of dramatic scenery, swimming and snorkelling without needing to plan the logistics yourself.

The boat itself is part of the experience. Onboard Wi-Fi means you can share photos of the turquoise water in real time, while a water slide lets you jump straight into the sea from the deck. A transparent boat lets you paddle over the reef and look down through clear water at what's below, though this is suspended if winds or waves pick up. A floating mat is also available if you'd rather drift on the surface than swim.

This Phuket day tour includes a national park ticket, covering entry to the protected areas around Maya Bay, and transfer is included so you're picked up from most parts of the island before heading out to sea.

The day begins with a hotel pickup from most parts of Phuket, followed by a transfer to the pier for boarding. Once onboard the power catamaran, you'll head out across the Andaman Sea toward the Phi Phi Islands, with the boat's Wi-Fi keeping you connected along the way. Stops typically include Maya Bay, where the national park ticket covers your entry, and time in the water using the transparent boat and floating mat.

The Khai Islands round out the itinerary, known for calmer, clear waters suited to swimming and snorkelling. The onboard water slide gives you a chance to jump straight into the sea between stops. The pace moves between short cruises to each island and free time in the water, before the catamaran heads back to Phuket and you're transferred back to your hotel.
