★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,244 reviews · 4 hours - 390 minutes · from $51Our pick

Start early from Tonsai Pier for Maya Bay before the crowds, then swim at Pileh Lagoon, spot monkeys, snorkel with reef sharks, and photograph Viking Cave. Choose the half-day trip or add Bamboo Island, lunch, and extra swimming with the full-day option.

“Highlight of our trip so far! Definitely book the full day to get to bamboo island it’s magical! It’s an early start but you miss all the larger tours from Phuket and are the first group into maya bay & bamboo island so you have the place to yourself before the bigger groups arrive a little later. We had lots of time for swimming, relaxing & snorkelling! Guide was amazing and very friendly!”
