Full description

This is a 9-hour experience from Krabi, built around Nopparat Thara pier, Speedboat and Maya Bay. It is run by Thailand Escapes, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Nagoya is Japan's fourth city and the gateway to the Ghibli Park at Nagakute, opened in 2022 with timed tickets that sell out weeks ahead, to Nagashima Spa Land and its rollercoasters, and to Inuyama, whose castle is one of the twelve original keeps. Nagoya Castle's golden dolphins and the Toyota Commemorative Museum are the city's own sights, and hitsumabushi grilled eel and miso katsu are its food. The Ise Grand Shrine, Shinto's most sacred site, rebuilt every twenty years, is 90 minutes south.

Pickup is offered from Khlong Muang, Nong Thale, Ao Nammao, Ao Nang and Krabi; the exact spot and time are agreed with Thailand Escapes once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Hotel round-trip transfer, Drinking water & seasonal fruits, Thai buffet lunch in the restaurant of Phi Phi Cliff Beach, Snorkeling equipment and Life jacket. It does not cover National Park Entrance Fee of Hat Noppharat Thara, Personal gratuities and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Thailand Escapes sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Thailand Escapes before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Belle journée même si nous n’avons pas fait Maya Beach . Notre guide DEAR était très sympathique comme le reste de l’équipage. Le Early boarding est appréciable sur les deux premières îles mais le flot de bateaux nous rattrape ensuite aux monkey island et îles phi phi phi. Le buffet est très « touristique « 40 minutes par groupe pas plus ! C’est le turn over des touristes pas très typique comme endroit mais la nourriture est correcte. Peut être qu’inverser le circuit pour profiter des spots de snorkeling de bonne heure et avec moins de monde serait plus pertinent.

Our tour was great! Our tour guide, Nee, was fantastic. She and her small crew were incredible. This was the best experience of our entire trip in Thailand. Only about 12 of us on the boat, the perfect amount of people. The food was great. Everyone was Wonderfully welcoming and hospitable. Thank you! Would definitely book this tour again.

all together it was a really well organized and nice trip. our tour guide was really nice and kind. they offered snacks almost at every station alongside with water and other drinks. sometimes it felt a little bit rushed to Always get to the next stop/island. maybe allowing a bit more time to spend and chill at one place would have been better

Der Trip war völlig überfrachtet. Zu viele Punkte in das Tagesprogramm reingequetscht. Die Aussage, man sei vor den Menschenmengen auf Phi Phi bzw. in der Maya Bay ist absurd. Eine Armada von Booten fährt zur selben Zeit oder früher. Wir hatten zudem ein wirklich wenig inspiriertes Team und leider ein Gruppe Reisender an Bord, die einfach nur laut und unangenehm war. 9 Stunden können da ganz schön anstrengend sein… wir würden das so nicht mehr buchen.

Estuvo muy increíble ver todas las islas ! Tiempo suficiente en cada lugar especialmente por el calor que hace! El guía y los conductores del barco fueron muy amables. Solo que prepárense para cansarse muchísimo !

Frequently Asked Questions

Thailand Escapes sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover national park entrance fee of hat noppharat thara – mu ko phi phi national park of 400 thb per adult and 200 thb per child, personal gratuities and tips. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Not in rough sea. The Andaman side is calm from November to April and choppy from May to October, when the marine office can close the piers at short notice; if that happens the operator moves you to the next day or refunds in full. Seasickness tablets the night before help on speedboats, and Maya Bay itself closes to visitors in August and September each year.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The duration of the Krabi Sunrise Odyssey: Beat the Crowds to Phi Phi's Paradise by Local Operator is typically 9 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.
Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.
Yes! All our private tours are fully customizable. Whether you want to add extra stops, skip certain locations, change the pace, or adjust the start time — simply let your guide know in advance or on the day. We aim to create a personalized experience tailored to your interests and energy level.
We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a partial charge depending on the tour type. Weather-related cancellations for outdoor and boat tours are handled on a case-by-case basis, with full refunds or free rebooking offered when safety is a concern.
Most of our experiences are family-friendly and suitable for children of all ages. However, some tours involving extensive walking, water activities, or early morning starts may be better suited for children aged 5 and above. Please check the specific tour description for age recommendations, or contact us for personalized family itinerary advice.
After booking, you will receive detailed meeting point instructions via email. Most tours include complimentary hotel pickup within the central area. For tours without pickup, your confirmation email will include the exact address, Google Maps pin, and your guide's phone number for easy coordination. Guides typically arrive 10 minutes early and will message you on WhatsApp.
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, Apple Pay, and Razorpay for Indian cards. All payments are processed through a PCI-compliant secure gateway with 256-bit encryption.

Yes, all AsiaByLocals guides are licensed professionals who have been rigorously vetted through background checks, skill assessments, and customer reviews. Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
The dry season from November to April offers the best weather for island-hopping tours and beach activities. December to March is peak season with calm seas, perfect for Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay boat trips. May to October (monsoon) is quieter and cheaper but some boat tours may be affected by rough seas. See our Phuket travel guide for detailed month-by-month advice.
Phuket is one of Southeast Asia's safest tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure, friendly locals, and a strong tourist police presence. Standard precautions apply: use reputable transport, stay aware in crowded areas, and book verified tours through trusted platforms. For water activities, all our tours include safety equipment and experienced crew.
The top experiences include: the Phi Phi Islands for snorkeling and Maya Bay, Phang Nga Bay for dramatic limestone cliffs and James Bond Island, the Big Buddha for panoramic views, Wat Chalong temple, and the charming Phuket Old Town for street food and Sino-Portuguese architecture. See our things to do guide for the complete list.
Yes! Direct flights between Phuket and Bangkok take just 1 hour 20 minutes. We recommend 3–4 days in Phuket for island tours, then 2–3 days in Bangkok for temples, markets, and street food. Our local guides operate in both cities for seamless trip planning.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering water sports before booking any speedboat tour or island-hopping excursion. While all our boats carry safety equipment and licensed crews, Thai hospital costs can be significant without coverage. Ensure your policy covers emergency medical evacuation and water activity accidents.
