I appreciate that they picked us up and dropped off at our hotel for this excursion. The tour guides were friendly and the sights were so beautiful. Maya Bay was a star of the show, but it is also very crowded as a result. But this didn't affect our ability to get beautiful pictures of the water. The pacing did not feel rushed, and the lunch served was delicious. I would recommend Sea Eagle Tours to friends and family.

Itinerary
You will be collected from your hotel in Ao Nang, Krabi Town, Ao Nam Mao, Klong Muang or Tubkaek Beach in the morning, the exact pickup time will be indicated at time of confirmation.
Check in with our boat crew at the small booth at Nopparat Thara Pier.
Receive a short briefing and instructions by the boat crew.
On the way to Phi Phi Islands you will make a short stop at Railay Beach to pick up other guests.
Cruise over to Koh Phi Phi Leh on a comfortable speed boat with a limited number of 45 seats.
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.
Here you can touch the white sand and dangle your feet into the turquoise water. 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 swimming in the shallows. 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.
Take spectacular photos of the 600 m long Phileh Lagoon framed by 100 m tall limestone cliffs or take an optional ride by a longtail boat to explore small coves at an extra fee.
Snorkel on the east side of Phi Phi Leh on coral reefs with crystal-clear waters and discover the exquisite corals.
Then slowly past Viking Cave to see where the 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.
Enjoy a rich Thai style lunch in Phi Phi Arida restaurant on Phi Phi Don. Please let us know your meal preferences in advance.
Free time to explore the island path of Ton Sai which offers average tourist facilities along the beautiful curved bays of Ton Sai and Loh Dalum Bay.
The last stop will be on the tiny and flat island named Koh Pai, which is also known as Bamboo Island. It is covered by lush vegetation and entirely surrounded by a strip of white sand and a reef that spreads up to 500 m from the shore. The uninhabited paradise location 5 km off the northern tip of Koh Phi Phi Don provides its masked and finned visitors with the feeling of swimming in an aquarium.

Well organised but over tourism has really spoilt the islands. We wanted to snorkel as strong swimmers but there was only one stop where fish were visible amongst dead coral. Ludicrous situation at Bamboo Island where they insisted you wore a life jacket for snorkelling so we declined. Dozens of bobbing non swimmers soaked in sunscreen. Trash in piles all over Phi Phi and scavenging cats not attractive.
The whole crew including our guide, Gina was great. We did a private tour to Phi Phi and the surrounding islands as we had two elderly parents and two young children. It was definitely worth it. We didn't have to struggle for space as we noticed some of the bigger boats looked abit too crowded for our liking and it also meant the itinerary was more flexible e.g. if we wanted to move on quicker from some places or stay for longer. They were so sweet with my younger son and also very attentive when my father had an accident just before we got on the boat back. They had the necessary first aid kit required, cleaned the wound and bandaged my dad's arm well. Throughout the day, we had continuous snacks and drinks (very important for young kids!) and they also provided towels and snorkelling gears. The speedboat was kept clean all the time. Would not hesitate to use Sea Eagle Tours again.
This was a great trip. The crew, Mr Kai, Mr Nat and Laea, and tour guide, Sali were helpful and knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. They made sure we ran to schedule so that we could see everything on the itinerary. We particularly loved swimming in the lagoon and snorkelling and they provided the snorkelling equipment. They took underwater photos of us and sent them to us afterwards. They gave us drinks and refreshments during the journey and we stopped for a delicious lunch. I would recommend this trip.
the views was amazing!!! breathtaking experience!! the foods also delicious… a place that give you a positive vibes…..
The stafc was very good and supportive,I not know swin still they help me to get in water and took picture, the Guide lady is very funny and cute...
The views were amazing, the crew were extremely nice and helped anyway possible ,no problems at all,They all made the whole trip 2x more fun and I would 100% go again.
Really loved the tour. They take care of everything and the guides are super knowledgeable. Salí is really good and we were glad to have her and crew #333 as our guide. Thank you team for such an amazing experience.
Excellent ,nice guide , expert boat man awesome crew and trip. Will come back Thankyou sali and all crew for best service.
My wife and I had a great experience on the sea eagle tour speed boat. The guide was super helpful too. The snorkelling experience was great as well as the swimming in the lagoon and bamboo Island. Thankfully the weather held up okay. Grateful to the lady guide who was super friendly throughout.
Very nice tour and very profesional, the whole trip was fun and enjoyable also they do the pick up and drop service which is very convenience. Highly recommended 👍🏼
This Tour is amazing! The crew and guide were super professional and friendly - definitely suitable for all kind of groups (families, solo travelers or couples/friend groups. lots of drinking water and buffet for lunch. We had a great day
The guides are really to good to keep the group organize and follow the time guideline. Plenty of cold drinking waters inside the boat.
The day was amazing from the start we had Far as our guide for the day and he was great!! I would recommend this service to anyone who wants to visit the islands of Thailand
Would definitely recommend this to anyone travelling to Phuket or Krabi. Great hosts and very informative. Thoroughly enjoyed.
What a fantastic trip! One of the best. From start to finish was perfect. The crew were so friendly and I must say a special thank you to FAR !! What an amazing guy. The lunch was plentiful and very nice. Would highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant day, scenery and the guides were fantastic. Really good value for money, I would go again in a heartbeat!
This was my third time on the same trip with See Eaglee tours. I always came home with a positive experience - they never disappointed! Every program that followed went like clockwork. Everything is exactly as described in the brochure. No surprises. Important – bring beach slippers and a waterproof backpack if you don't want any surprises.
Overcrowded boat, chaotic organisation, late start. We were collected from our hotel at 7am, driven to a nearby beach, and told to wait until 9.15 to get our boat. When we eventually got onto the boat, there was a nice amount of space, but we then stopped at Railey Beach to pick up yet more people which totally overcrowded the boat. One teenager was sea sick on the journey out to Phi Phi which must have been extremely unplesant for those surrounding him. The guide did not have great english and could hardly be heard over the roaring engines and it was such a large group that delays were frequent because people could not hear or understand instructions. The islands we visited were ridiculously overcrowded with similarly rammed boats all jostling for a space, bathing opportunities were severely restricted and therefore also crowded, and the whole day was rather stressful as a result. The vegetarian lunch was pitiful - basically potatoes. Last time we were in this area we paid a lot more money for a very small tour on an open top speedboat and that tour was much much better.
The operators were great but the tour itself wasn’t. Maya bay in particular is way overcrowded and you will spend most of the time walking in single line along one path with hundreds if not thousands of other people. The only thing you do on Phi Phi island is eat for an hour and head back on the boat. The highlight was Bamboo island as it was a bit more spaced out. The tour was summed up nicely at one point there were 6 or 7 large boats driving to Monkey bay island to see 2 monkeys on the rocks… maybe 300 people to look at 2 monkeys
The guides were amazing, they did their best with an impossible situation. Our group was way too big to navigate. There are so many boats and people doing the same thing, it’s awful. I highly recommend an early bird tour maybe. If I had a better understanding of the crowds I would have chosen to not go at all. IMO they need to permit and limit the visits to these places, it seems criminal to allow so many people at once to these beautiful places. Not the experience we hoped for. Again, our tour guides were amazing, it was the situation that was disappointing
We enjoyed so many islands! Our group tour guide and his assistants were great. We had a great time and really loved all the islands visited.
We were jammed into a boat with limited seating. Our tour leader did not have a microphone so only a few people standing close to her could hear what she had to see. Each stop was filled with way too many boats. Very commercialized. Disappointing tour.
I don’t normally write a review for anything unless it warrants it. This trip fits the bill. Sali and her staff were very knowledgeable, professional, funny and accommodating. The Phi Phi islands tour was magnificent. Our favorite island is the bamboo island. It wasn’t crowded like the other islands. I would highly recommended this tour group and company if you plan on getting some sightseeing and snorkeling in Thailand.
Salma is fantastic and amazing 5 stars hero women she has treated my foot Abd Zynoon amazing The boat 🛥️ man Bangleah was very helpful
Everything was great, crew from boat #3333 , tourist guide and Ms Noon were all really friendly. The vibes were great, we saw some incredible things, I would recomendind 10/10 times.
Great tour, super friendly staff, perfectly organised. Stops at various places at the phi phi islands, also snorkelling ( equipment included). Bonus: free underwater pictures
Sea Eagle #3 was excellent in helping our experience be the best it could ever be. From start to finish the tour guides helped us and explained all of the sights that we saw and was fun to be around. Could not recommend sali the tour guide and Ms noon staff enough thank you for such a beautiful experience!!!!
What a wonderful experience. The islands are beautiful and staff is amazing. Sali and Ms Noon were very helpful. We had an amazing time.
The trip to the Phi Phi islands was wonderful. We made many stops to swim, snorkel, eat, and relax. Maya Bay and Bamboo Island were our favorites. We loved seeing the coral when snorkeling. The staff was beyond amazing and helpful. We enjoyed the photos they took of us and the attention to detail. They picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel. SO FUN!
Was amazing !! You should go, DO NOT MISS! The staff members , guiding just super helpful and very very kind! Maximum love ❤️ !! Husnee and the other guide made pictures of me - I was in solo, so it was really great for me. Maximum points recommending. I am Judit from Hungary 🙏 Thank you 🙏❤️
Wonderful full day excursion. The tour operators attentive; friendly & professional. They took the time to get to know each of their guests little querks and catered accordingly.aside from stunning scenery and well paced itinerary, overall, this company is a cut above the rest. From the countless operators on the beach; pick the girl with a smile greeting you! Snarkling; swimming; buffet lunch at Phi Phi resort along the way. Lovely day.
Well organized, happy staff who were informative. Small group tours. A very busy day with many boats out. Due to superb organization and amazing boat driving skills our day ran very smoothly.
Went on early bird island trip ref 999 26/06/24 the guide was excellent very polite and good Knowledge of the islands i would recommend to anyone great service will book again
Staff and tour guide (Nee) were excellent. I would have liked a bit more time at Monkey Beach. Bad time of year for snorkeling. So maybe more time at beach at the end for swimming would have been better.
Cooper our tour guide was fantastic! Super helpful and friendly. We had forgotten our money and he lent us a helping hand so we could enjoy the sights and a gorgeous ice cream! The sights were beautiful and me and my partner loved the snorkelling! We were also provided with endless cold drinks and sea sickness tablets.
All of the stops on this tour were great! Definitely one to do. We liked it enough to consider doing again the next day! Total thumbs up even though the sites are fairly crowded, but what else would you expect?
Beautiful scenes, but overcrowded. Not an enjoyable experience. Boat ride was not the best. Couldn’t really see anything from inside.
Snorkelling was absolutely the highlight of our experience! The waters were crystal clear and you could see the bottom of the sea with all the fishes! Our tour guide was absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable and just made it seamless
Well organised tour, clear instructions provided by the organiser during each stop. Our tour guide Nadia was very attentive and provided us with all useful information we needed. Maya Bay and Bamboo island are the best stops as well as a nice snorkeling spot. The time allocated to both works very well. Expect crowd in Maya bay to get in & out of the island but still a very enjoyable experience. Thank you Sea Eagle!
Does what it says on the tin - you will see all the islands and the guide and boat crew are of course lovely. We found the experience distinctly average however due to the number of people packed onto one boat (there was hardly any space to move) which wasn’t comfortable during long commutes. The islands are also packed with tourists but that can’t be helped due to high season. Logistically it was flawless and I would consider booking with SE again, but perhaps a small group or private tour.
Our guide, Wawa, was so nice, she made the whole experience more enjoyable. There are too many tourist boats at each site; that is not so enjoyable.
This place is definitely one of the bucket list locations you just have to experience. Go and see Maya Bay and the many other Islands that form the Phi Phi Islands. If you stay in Krabi you can live more comfortably without all the noise and partying that goes on until 3am on Phi Phi Island. Definitely recommend this. Check out my video review on YouTube. Just search Paradise Adventures to find my channel.
Beautiful experience. The scenery is amazing. The crew was very helpful. The lunch was amazing. Very good food.
Very effective & efficient & helpful service. Will recommend friends. The tour operator very supportive & flexible. Thanks 👍🙏
This trip takes you to beautiful islands but you have very short time to enjoy everything and the stops are crowded with tourists . So basically you have a taste of the possibilities to explore .
Excellent tour guide Sally! She catered everyones needs She helped who got seasock including me She was very careful wirh safety guidelines! Loved Sally!!
We had a great parts of the day with the weather, swimming and amazing snorkelling. But I would say that the whole area of Phi Phi was completely full of similar boats and tourists doing exactly the same thing. So the idyllic photos you see is not the reality of the experience. Also I would definitely check the weather before booking in future. The change in weather meant we did not see a couple of islands and the long lunch stop was spent hunting for hot drinks and cowering from the torrential rain instead of relaxing. Because of the bad weather we headed back to Krabi straight after lunch which was totally understandable. However on the way back we had engine problems. The crew spent some time sorting out the issue whilst we were at sea and finally we set back home. The crew were fun and helpful and on another day I may have given it a higher amount of stars.
Phi phi islands is nice for scenery lovers. But the boat was packed beyond it’s capacity, they had said that there would be around 35 persons , but I think I counted around 50. There was no moving space at all. And it was a very bumpy ride. So no one was advised to stand or sit outside, so we missed the whole scenery while going to the destination points . In these kind of places the journey itself is the destination, if one can’t see anything while going from one point to the other , then half the thrill is lost. coz the sides of the boat have no glass windows , so nothing is visible once u sit down. The lunch was substandard . The staff was nice , doing their bit . Overall an ok trip marred by overcrowded boat and zero visibility of scenery while commuting .
Beautifull places, but overcrowded. Not worth it unless you abslolutely have to see Maya beach. Too many people, the snorkeling was pointless. Constantly crashed into people. I would visit Hong island instead.
