Nee was a fantastic guide, full of energy and always happy to help with great knowledge of Islands too. Lovely touch with the extra snacks particularly towards end of trip as you start to get tired. Thoroughly recommend

Itinerary
A minibus will collect you from the hotel in Krabi, which may mean setting out as early as 6am.
Check in with our crew at Nopparat Thara Pier and grab a light breakfast box to fuel your journey. Depart at 7am with our comfortable speed boat with up to 40 seats.
Cruise over to Railay Beach for a quick stopover to pickup other guests.
Head over by speedboat to Phi Phi Leh in less than 45 minutes.
The first stop will be at Loh Samah Bay where you can climb from a floating pier over the rocks to an elevated wooden trail which leads to the beach at Maya Bay.
The highlight is a visit of Maya Bay where you can touch the white sand and dangle your feet into the turquoise water at 'The Beach'. You will have approximately 50 minutes to enjoy on one of the most stunning locations in Thailand, and if you lucky you can witness black tip reef sharks. Notable rules at Maya Bay include no swimming, no single-use plastics, using reef-safe sunscreen and no use of drones without permission. Please remember that the Mu Koh Phi Phi Marine Park will be closed every year for 2 months during low season, usually in August and September.
In Phileh Lagoon you can take spectacular photos of the 600 m long canyon framed by 100 m tall limestone cliffs or ride by longtail boat available to explore small coves at a small extra fee if you like.
Snorkel on the east side of Phi Phi Leh on coral reefs with crystal-clear waters
Cruise slowly past Viking Cave while learning the history behind the place where Phi Phi birds nest soup are harvested.
As we cruise onward, get ready to be dazzled by Monkey Beach. This 150-meter gem, nestled on the southwestern shore of Tonsai Bay, boasts powdery white sand lapped by emerald waters. Lush vegetation climbs the cliffs behind the beach, creating a haven for a colony of monkeys. Keep your eyes peeled – at low tide, you might spot them playfully foraging for breakfast right on the shore. While we won't be stopping at the beach itself, this glimpse of paradise is sure to be a highlight.
Make a stop at Ton Sai Pier from where you will walk to the restaurant for lunch.
Enjoy a Thai buffet lunch in Phi Phi Arida restaurant on Koh Phi Phi Don. Special preferences like vegetarian food have to be ordered prior to departure.
In the afternoon you can swim and relax at the tranquil and serene beach of Bamboo Island, known as Koh Mai Phai in Thai. The island is almost shaped like a heart and is entirely surrounded by a strip of white sand. It offers great snorkeling opportunities with a shallow line of corals. Its central part is covered with lush vegetation including Casuarinas and Bamboo trees that gave its name to the island.
Continue to the 4 Island group and make some photos of the bizarre rock formation at Chicken Island.
Walk on the sandbar at Thale Waek connecting the offshore islands of Koh Kai, Koh Tup, and Koh Mor.
Take a swim at Koh Tup, a unique tiny island topped with vegetation, circled by sand and connected to Chicken Island by a sand bar.
Finally, unwind and soak up the sun on the pristine white sands of Koh Poda, a true tropical paradise, perfect for swimming and relaxation.

This was so well organized. We loved the timely scheduling. We had four opportunities to swim and snorkle. The crew was fantastic. Our guide, Cooper, was energetic, fun , thorough in his explanations and so organized. He had plenty of drinks and snacks for us. Cooper was so fun. It was a fantastic, long day
Perfect visit to beautiful islands in one day. The trip was well organized. Our “purple team” guide Naim was very attentive and helpful. The captain was very skilled. The whole crew did a great job. The islands and nature are very beautiful and worth visiting, but the only thing that might have spoiled the mood of some vacationers was that the snorkeling near the beach was interrupted by the midday low tide. Since there were other snorkeling opportunities during the trip, hopefully this was not a big problem for anyone. The food that was brought with us for vegetarians was delicious and the fruit provided for snacks on the boat was perfect. Cold drinks were also available on the boat all day!
This trip exceeded my expectations. From the timely hotel pickup to the on schedule boat departure, unexpected breakfast and snacks being served it was a fantastic tour. Our tour guide. Nee was fantastic... Always looking out for the guests with a friendly smile! The boat captain and assistant were also very good. Highly recommend this tour.
We were so packed inside the boat we could not move. Staff very friendly and eager to help (that’s why the 3 stars) In order to visit lots of islands, the time was not enough to enjoy them. Better to visit less and enjoy them more.
This was the best experience of my life. The crew was super accommodating and polite. Our tour guide, Nee, was very informative and made sure everyone was taken care of. She even walked all the way across one of the islands to find a couple from our group that had wandered off so we could all leave together and no one be left behind. 10/10 highly recommend Nee as your guide. She's the best!
Host and guide - Guy Fay A wonderful day on the speedboat. 8 passengers and 3 crew. Although not too keen on getting out of bed early, it was well worth the effort to beat the crowds to the island locations which were nothing short of beautiful. We wanted for nothing - breakfast, morning tea, wonderful buffet lunch, chips, fruit, water, soft drinks. Guy didn’t waffle on but was very informative about the locations we were visiting and any safety points to heed. Other members of the crew were superbly professional even though they do this tour every day and weren’t complacent as to their duties. A good investment was a rash shirt to protect you from the fierce sun. I would recommend this tour to anyone contemplating it. Magnificent day on the water.
Left early this morning by speedboat for a bit of island hopping! We beat all the crowds, which was really amazing. Super fun and friendly people on the boat! Highly recommended!
The tour is definitely worth the price. The staff provided a wonderful service and made the trip super enjoyable. Our tour guide Fay and the boat staff were all so friendly and thoughtful. The boat is also very new and clean. Doing the early bird is definitely worth waking up early, you get to skip the crowd and enjoy the sceneries. Highly recommend it!
Fay was an amazing guide! She took so many photos and was super flexible with the weather! We had a great time. The food at lunch was great and Fay knew lots about the islands and the times to go! Sea Eagle tour was great
an experience that you cannot miss, impressive views and great treatment by the team, concerned at all times for the passengers. We loved it!
The views were amazing, we had a great time. A lot of food! The best part about early bird tour is you get to islands much before the crowd, so you essentially get whole of Maya Bay to yourselves or max with 10 other people.
Just got back from an unforgettable day trip to Phi Phi and the 4 Islands with Sali and #333 crew 😃 what an experience! The weather was absolutely perfect today crystal-clear skies, turquoise water, and sunshine from start to finish. Every stop felt like a postcard come to life. But the real star of the trip? Sali. She’s hands down the greatest and funniest guide we’ve ever had. Her energy was infectious, she kept us laughing the whole time, and made everyone feel welcome and excited. On top of that, she’s an amazing photographer seriously, the pictures she took for us look like something out of a magazine! Huge thanks to Sali and the team for an unforgettable adventure. If you’re thinking about exploring the islands, do it, and ask for Sali!
I did the early bird phi phi & 4 islands with Fay and it was amazing. The tour guide is very professional and organised. If I could rate 6 stars I definitely would, I can’t be more satisfied 😍, I strongly recommend if you are around Krabi.
It was amazing , very kind staff, good organisation. A wonderful guide , big hug for FY the amazing guide for this tour. They care about details like snacks after every stop . Good materials for life jacket and for snorkelling.
We had a great hospitality from the tour guide. (Sali & the team) They took care of us while during onboard with safety equipment & briefing. The best part is, I am non swimmer but they took me do the snorkeling while cling on the diver in the water. 👍🏻 I'm so excited and happy could able to see the coral and beautiful fishes in the water. They also provide drink and refreshments on boat.
Great time with a small group for a nice relaxed island hopping time. We left from the floating pier at Railay East. Fay our guide was great! Friendly and funny. The food we got for breakfast and lunch through the tour was nice. Only 5 other people other than us two, perfect amount. FYI for travelers- the Thai national parks do not appear to be allowed to sell beer (we looked!)
We are just back after a fantastic day out with this team! What a great trip. Great guide Nee, she was so helpful and friendly Great spot for lunch and very tasty. We would highly recommend this trip for young families, it was just myself and my 9yr daughter Great day out, now time for a beer and sleep
The early bird phi phi + 4 island speedboat tour exceeded our expectations! The team were so helpful and caring from start to finish. We were collected from our hotel, breakfast provided, care taken by English tour guides, captain and crew, brilliant lunch snacks and drinks provided throughout the day. They made sure everyone was comfortable and had the best experience throughout the day. Thank you Sea Eagle tours! 10/10 experience...
We had a great time! Our guide Far was exceptional and very knowledgeable of all the islands we visited. Nice boat friendly crew . Great lunch that was provided. Five ⭐️ trip !
Great guide, small group of 20, great price and island selection was great - seeing the important places but avoiding all the crowds. This is a must for those in Krabi and Railay.
This was just the most amazing day on the water. Perfect in just every way from the weather to the other guests on the boat and the crew, most especially our tour guide, Natty Sexy Lady. Nonstop adventure and really yummy snacks each time we returned to the boat. No wasted time what so every. Lunch was served at a stunning beach, and it was fantastic. I seriously cannot say enough great things about the trip, worth every penny, met some great people and saw lots of beautiful fish. Will return and do it again.
We had only booked this trip via a kiosk near to our hotel in Ao Nang the night before. We were picked up at 6.15am as promised and taken to the pier to meet other passengers. Initially the “max 40 pax” put us off a bit but it really was fine and never seemed too crowded. Nee was our guide and she was amazing. Looked after us the whole day and super efficient in telling us where we were going and very clear with meeting points and timings. We got a little breakfast box, drinks and snacks throughout the day and lunch at Phi Phi Don. There are so many tour operators that we were a bit overwhelmed with who to book with but time was not on our side and we are so glad we did this one. Thank you so much Nee. It was so lovely to meet you. You are a credit to your company.
Excellent day out with fantastic guide, Nee, and brilliant crew. It was an early start in the morning but the day felt relaxed and we were never rushed. The sites are all slightly different and we saw plenty of idyllic beaches and interesting places. Despite the early start there are obviously lots of other tourists doing similar activities but it didn’t spoil anything. Suggest you take a towel and waterproof shoes for when you disembark in to shallow waters.
Read this before buying (from someone who rarely if ever writes negative reviews): 1: my husband and I show up to the pier to start the day, with the tour group no where to be found. The other tour groups didn’t even know where Sea Eagle was. After 20 minutes of looking in the dark, we found them at the way down the BEACH, not the pier. Easy fix if this was the only problem. 2. Breakfast was supposed to be at Poda Island to start the day. Instead, we were given a box while we waited for the boat to arrive at the pier, and the box had a gross half sandwich and juice box. If I would have known, I would have made my own breakfast arrangement. 3. Itinerary was completely wrong. We went to Maya Bay first when the sun wasn’t really even up yet, which led to poor quality pictures. This site is not relaxing, someone is blaring rules over a speaker the whole time and people get yelled at for going into the water at shin height. You also snorkel at another part of the bay and you don’t see anything but dead coral. We’ve done a ton of snorkeling and there definitely could have been a better spot to pick. 4. We were shuffled around to different places on really rough seas, and “pass-by” events were hard to see since you can only really view at the way front or back of the boat. People on the boat would not move or switch out places to see the views. 5. A group of people on our tour refused to follow rules. They went off during snorkeling and didn’t return in time, which led to the whole boat waiting for them for 20+ minutes and decreased time at the next spots. They also all lit up cigarettes and the crew allowed it. This not only is bad for the other guests to endure but smoking on a boat is a huge fire hazard. 6. Finally we reached Phi Phi Don for lunch, and my husband and I went to a different restaurant on our own because the group lunch was not appetizing. We finally started having a good time on our own. 7. The afternoon was finally the time to relax on an island. We wish this tour would have stopped shuffling us around so much and just brought us to a few spots to relax and explore, instead of spending so much time on the rocky boat. My advice, get your own boat or go with a different tour. I regret going on this one.
My wife and I had booked onto this tour via GetYourGuide before leaving the UK. Everything went like clockwork,Sea Eagle Tours have great staff, good English and very helpful and knowledgeable. Our trip was really enjoyable even though it's a very early start,all worth while. From the pick up to the drop off, we were really looked after, constantly being offered soft drinks, fruit,snacks coupled to the excellent lunch at Phi Phi Don, the service could not have been better. Our guide (Nam - sorry for not remembering everyone) was good fun, mostly always ensuring that everyone was ok and enjoying themselves. We thought the trip was very good value and would certainly recommend it to others. The only thing we would have liked was a bit more sun, unfortunately our trip has coincided with a lot of thick cloud but this did not spoil our enjoyment at all.
FAR, the guide made the trip. It was a cloudy cold day and he was the most interesting part of the tour. If it wasn’t for him it would have been a long day. Please give him a raise :) Boat was crowded and there was too many people everywhere. Avoid high season…
It was my first time to Thailand and we booked the tour on the SeaEagle boat #3333. Our tour guides were all so friendly and helpful making our day at the Islands both fun and effort-free. Mr Kai, Mr Leah and Ms Noon and Sali were wonderful hosts. The locations were stunning and we had plenty of time to snorkel, swim and relax. And the lunch was delicious!
Wonderful place 🥰 I lover it I recommend 100% Expectacular The team very kind people All the island beautiful
Get Early bird experience to avoid massive crowds. This was one of our highlights of our Thailand trip. We got to swim in majestic waters, snorkel and see amazing scenery. Tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful m. Highly recommended!
A must go. Well crafted and coordinated tour with lot of sea swimming and snorkelling. Timely breakfast, lunch and intermittent soft drinks and snacks. A good tour guide and decent staff. Compare price with a few tour operators and don’t pack breakfast from hotel which they tell you to do. Don’t forget Beachwear, cap and sunglasses
I took the Early bird Phi Phi/Maya Bay + 4 islands by speedboat from Krabi. The trip was amazing and spent a lovely day with them. The entire tour was nicely coordinated, starting from 6am pick up til the tour ends around 4pm. All the locations are beautiful, the clear waters of Maya Bay and the opportunity to snorkel at bamboo island. Lunch and snacks are included in the tour. Nerisa helped nicely with the tour booking and the tour guide Nadia and other staff were extremely helpful throughout. You are very well taken care of and I highly recommend this tour with Sea Eagle Tour
Very nice boat trip, a complete tour with good food. The setup for breakfast was so simple, but wonderful. We traveled with our 2,5 years old baby and it was easy to do it. We stayed at Railey Beach and they picked us up directly from the pier.
The tour was great, couldn't fault it. Our tour guide was an especially talented person. Stunning scenery!
Yes, there were "millions" other people, even if we got to the spots early. Yes, this is a mass tourism trip, but if you choose to go, choose Sea Eagle Tours! Great guide, clear information, very well organized. Snorkeling gear worked fine, length of stay on the ten different locations fitted us perfectly and the service on board was great. Breakfast on the beach of Poda Island, always cold drinks available, fruit and salted snack when you needed it and the "mass tourism lunch" on Phi Phi was actually much better than we could hope for. All in all very satisfied with our choice of tour operator.
Suckered in by the Early Bird avoid the crowds advert and found out very quickly this was not the case at all. 40 of us crammed onto a speed boat. Be prepared to spend most of your day on the boat. We were told less than 30 wpuld be onboard. You get 45 minutes at Maya beach. 1 hour 15 at Phi Phi and you cant get off the boat at 3 of the destinations you can only look out the tiny window of the speed boat at Monkey Beach, the lagoon and the viking cave isnt open to the public at all. No picnic on the beach for lunch its a buffet in phi phi in a local muslim restaurant not on Bamboo island as advertised. The staff on board the boat were very sweet but this trip is not as sold in the brochure. In hindsight youre never going to beat the crowds. Less popular islands would have been much lovelier.
A fabulous excursion well organised and great fun . Our tour guide Far made it a day to remember, very informative and thoughtful. Breakfast on Poda Island was beautiful, and lunch at Phi Phi don was excellent. By speedboat is the best way to see so many beautiful islands, Maya Bay was stunning!. Would thoroughly recommend this excursion and many thanks again to Far for making this day so memorable.
It was one of the best tour that I made in Thailand. It was very well organized. The guide, Far, was so nice, always smiling and there for us. It was a pretty big day, but worth it! Such a nice day. Really really recommend it! I was hesitant between this tour and the 4 islands tours, and I'm happy I took this one.
FAR was an amazing guide, very patient, understanding and funny. Took care of the group's liking and even took some of the best pictures of our trip from his phone! I would highly recommend going on a tour with FAR.
Was it worth it? Paying a premium for 'early bird' yet arriving at places with 60-80 boats already there was disappointing. The boat wasn't packed, but still too full to sit without skin on skin all day. The boats are fine, but the motors getting a little old, which was evident as similar craft with newer engines overtook us many times. The poor old Honda 250's were on full throttle and very, very noisy for 4 strokes. Breakfast, snacks and drinks provided were fine. Lunch at Phi Phi was actually great, although not many options, the Massamum and Pad Tai were epic. Be aware that many shops including this restaurant are run by Muslims, so no alcohol allowed. 300m walk to a bar though. Staff were awesome, Far and the crew were polite and helpful all day, even with some rude and ignorant customers. It was a lot for a day, 10 stops in all, but some we didn't even get off the boat (Monkey Beach), and others were just a swim off the boat. Be aware that Maya Bay will have thousands of people, early bird or not. Lots of tour companies to choose from and I'd say they'd all be similar, check prices of private hire a taxi boat and build your own trip, seems like a good option.
Before booking the Early Bird tour, I was slightly skeptical about the cost and the value for money. In a nutshell, it's so much value for money that I'm now convinced that I will ONLY go for Early Bird Tours if such an option is available anywhere, any tour. This tour was spotless - very well managed by Sea Eagle. Our pick up time was 5:40 AM and they were very punctual. By far the best part of the tour was our guide, NADIA. She's such a sweet person and high on energy when it comes to caring for the tourists. Easy to speak with (esp. in English). A tour can be setup well, but the guide is the person who can make or break the experience for the tourists. Nadia truly was the key element. She just went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience for everyone. Just think, when we are jumping into the sea or swimming in clear waters or snorkeling around the boat, it's not possible for us to photograph ourselves. But people really cherish such photos. Nadia made sure she captured such precious moments for us and Airdropped me later. WOW. It was truly unexpected when she offered to capture the moments when I am swimming with my Mom, or snorkeling or just plain and simple offering to take our portraits. I cannot thank her enough. She will do amazing in her career because she's so truthful to her job, waking up at really odd hours and spending whole day making it the best day for her tourists. All staffs were very good, in fact. Overall, phenomenal experience. Choose early bird wherever you can. Getting almost all places just to our group before loads and loads of tourists started appearing was the best value for money!
Loved this tour. We had a wonderful time. Everyone was very nice and wanted to make sure you had a great time. Thank you for such a wonderful time.
Great way to see the islands and avoid the crowds. Our guides were fantastic. We were offered a nice breakfast with plenty of water and a lovely lunch. The sea was a bit rough but the crew was very caring and made sure we were okay. Would definitely recommend this trip!
Would 100% recommend the early bird island tour. Far and the rest of the crew made it an unforgettable experience. Their friendliness and professionalism were unmatched and they made it an unforgettable day, from the nice breakfast on the sandbank to the very last island we visited. Thank you and keep up the good work!
We opted for the early bird tour option and had no regrets, for almost all the stops and activities, our group completed and left the area just as the larger group of tours arrived. This meant that for most of the time we had the islands/snorkelling areas all to ourselves. Pick up from hotel was punctual. Our tour crew led by Husnee were professional and always willing to lend a hand. Husnee was animated and cheerful throughout the tour while our boat captains skilfully navigated us through turbulent waters. Were were seasick for half of the tour and Husnee constantly checked in with us if we were getting better, even after we had recovered. All in all this tour can be highly recommended if you are willing to wake up and start about 1-2hours earlier than the usual tours. Also, we’d recommend you do this or any other island hopping tour when it is not the monsoon season if you are susceptible to motion sickness/seasickness.
Went on island hopping in Krabi on 10 April. There is a van that pick me up from our hotel which is very convenient. We started the trip early so we managed to avoid the crowds for the morning island visits. Breakfast was prepared on one of the island and we enjoy the food and scenery which is a good experience. The guides are very friendly and approachable. P'Far shares alot about the island and really look out for all of us. Another P (i don't know his name) but to thank him for always telling me which angle has the best view of the islands. Although there is small delay during the trip but they did not cut short our time but extended the journey so that we can really enjoy the islands. 5 stars for everything!! My first trip to krabi and i really love it. Thanks lots ❤️
I would highly recommend the early bird Phi Phi island and 4 islands tour. We spent a good amount of time at each spot, the snorkelling was great, buffet lunch delicious and the boat was spacious. It was a very well run tour by Far and the rest of the team.
Our tour guide, Fa was excellent. He kept us on time, clearly communicated where we needed to be and when. I liked that we got to most places before the crowd. Overall it was an great day! The sped boat is bumpy (it’s a soeedboat), but I liked all the stops.
The best available tour to see all ilands and enjoy white sand and clear water. The service was perfect, the guide was polite, kind and willing to help if you want to take a photo. Breakfest was good and during the day drinks were available as much as you want. Dinner place good, food delishes. Very well organized.
Well worth the early start. Loved this day trip. Plenty of food & drink on offer. Lunch on Phi Phi island was yum. I suffer seasickness but had no issues with this speedboat - don’t get me wrong it’s a fast & bumpy ride - but very comfortable. Covered a lot in one day - but nothing felt rushed. Pls Tu if time to enjoy each island. Scenery is stunning. Water is clear emerald and blue. Snorkelling was great near Maya Bay. Beach on Bamboo Island was definitely a highlight - bright blue ocean, lovely for swimming & snorkelling. Sea Eagles guides were fun. Highly recommend.
