Phi Phi & Koh Khai Islands Day Tour from Phuket

The Phi Phi Islands sit off the coast of Phuket as one of Thailand's most photographed archipelagos, made up of Koh Phi Phi Yai, the smaller Koh Phi Phi Leh, and a scatter of surrounding islets. Designated a national park in 1983, the group is known for its powdery beaches, limestone cliffs rising straight out of azure water, and hidden coves accessible only by boat. This day tour from Phuket takes you across to explore them, along with a stop at Koh Khai, a trio of small islands known for their coral reefs and clear, shallow water.<br><br>The islands' turquoise bays gained international recognition after featuring in the Leonardo DiCaprio film 'The Beach,' and seeing the dramatic cliffs and lagoons in person explains why. An English-speaking guide accompanies you throughout, with transfers and admission tickets included, so the logistics of island-hopping around Phuket's most scenic waters are taken care of.<br><br>Expect a full day on the water, moving between beach stops, swimming spots, and viewpoints across the Phi Phi and Koh Khai island groups.

Your day begins with a transfer from the designated meeting point in Phuket, where your English-speaking guide meets you before heading to the boat. From there, the route takes in the Phi Phi Islands, with time on the beaches and in the water at the spots made famous by their limestone scenery and, in one bay, by the film 'The Beach.'<br><br>The tour continues to Koh Khai, where calmer, shallower water makes for easy swimming and time spent looking at the surrounding coral. Throughout the day, your guide handles the transfers and admission tickets between stops, so the day moves between boat rides, beach time, and swimming without you needing to arrange anything yourself.
