Our tour guide was phenomenal. The boat captain and his crew were very knowledgeable about their boat. We, as a family, felt very safe. 10 out of 10 recommend!

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.
Receive a short briefing and instructions by the boat crew. You will also be notified about the sea and weather conditions.
Check in with boat crew at the small booth at Nopparat Thara Pier.
If you stay at Railay Beach, we will pick you up directly from the meeting point at Railay Beach.
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.
Cruise over to Koh Phi Phi Leh on a comfortable speed boat with a limited number of 45 seats.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Enjoy a rich Thai style lunch in Phi Phi Arida restaurant on Phi Phi Don. Please let us know your meal preferences in advance.

What an amazing experience! This tour was INCREDIBLE from start to finish. Our guide was Fay and she was the best guide we’ve had for any tour. She kept us safe, always was attentive, and sharp!
Great day on the boat with Cookie and crew. Picked up right in time and taken to the harbor where we boarded the boat and got out on the water to the islands. Cookie was great and since we had a private tour took us to the spots we wanted as we wanted to snorkel more than seeing the islands. Bring a few beers if you want to drink.
We went on a full day speed boat trip covering Phi Phi Island. They took us to all the great spots, except Maya Bay. It was too dangerous to go to Maya Bay with huge waves. Very well organised trip including safe spots for swimming and snorkeling. Good buffet lunch included.
The experience was awesome. Sea eagle tour is great. The tour guide especially Salli is very attentive, informative, jolly and made everything fun. We saw the beauty of Phi Phi Island and enjoyed the whole adventure.
Wow!!! The highlight of our trip. Mei and the crew were fantastic. If you are debating whether to do the private tour-dont think twice. This is the way to do it and worth paying the extra money. We could do everything at our own pace, spend as little or as much time at each place and not be restricted by the schedule of the larger groups.
Incredible experience. Attentive crew. Seamless. Great communication from start to finish. Great way to see Phi Phi Islands. Sea Eagle runs a great operation.
A fantastic trip. Private trip for 8 passengers. James, Nit, Tree & Dee - sorry if spelling incorrect. All great people. A lovely day & would thoroughly recommend to anyone.
Highlight of our trip! Beautiful scenery, crystal clear waters. Our guide Aekie and crew were very helpful driving us to the best spots and helping us on and off the boat.
First of all, highly suggest booking private tour ( worth it) otherwise you will be packed in like sardines and only have a few minutes everywhere! These islands get extremely overcrowded so not enjoyable unless private Our tour guide was fantastic and stayed with us the whole time and sent us lots of photos he took. My only negative comment is the tacky touristy awful restaurant that they take you to for lunch ….. could have gone somewhere nicer. Overall fantastic day!!!!!
Overall, incredible experience - amazing views, great staff, and good pace for the day. Canteen, our tour guide, was particularly helpful and made sure to make it a memorable experience. Only call outs: this is more of a sightseeing tour than an in-the-water experience, stopping at sights that don’t allow for swimming (minus one snorkeling spot), and the boat ride out to the island can be a bit rocky (be warned if you get seasick easily). Both didn’t take away from the experience, though, just a helpful fyi for future interested groups.
Nee( Hosnee) was our tour guide for this tour.. she was so cheerful and patient with our large group of 12. We started the tour on time and managed to cover almost all places mentioned. She even took nice videos and pictures for us. Overall it was a fun tour and we enjoyed the trip I would recommend the private tour for larger groups for sure and if you can afford for lesser people then go for jt!
We had the most perfect day ever! The boat is in a very good condition, Gina and her team was taking very good care of us the whole time and was the best guides. We saw so many beautiful places, and having a private boat was the perfect way to experience it in our own pace. If you want to go on Island hopping this is a must for having the full experience! Totally worth the money even though it’s more expensive than other options.
Although the scenery was beautiful and I wouldn’t want to miss, next time I would get up early to be out as soon as the boat could depart. I wouldn’t skip the. National park to see the sharks since you just visually see them at a distance but it takes up a bunch of time and try to hit other spots before all the millions of boats and people show up. Our guide wasn’t a guide at all. She spoke little English, had a bad attitude about the crowds and didn’t want to stop at the various spots. Not great. Our boat broke down but I will say they used resources and got us over to Phi Phi while they repaired. Three stars because it’s beautiful to see the rocks and be on the water.
We spent Christmas Day 2024 with Beauty and her amazing team, and they were incredibly kind and accommodating. Beauty was with us on all the islands, making the experience even more special. We were also allowed to bring our own wine to enjoy on board and there was a huge ice box! I was traveling with my elderly parents, and the team went out of their way to make things easy for them, ensuring they could get on and off the boat comfortably. They even provided folding chairs upon my request, as my parents couldn’t sit on the sand. The experience felt very personal—you have the freedom to stay as long or as short as you like. The privacy made it truly unforgettable.
Thank you to our tour guides Kookkie, Fadee and Gus from Sea Eagle tours. They are lovely people and made our Phi Phi island tour most memorable experience. We all enjoyed island hopping and snorkelling. I would recommend the private tour as you can enjoy each destination at your own time and can avoid the busy areas.
Friendly and attentive crew and a beautiful day on the water. If you’re looking for a private experience and to do Phi Phi with your own time table, high recommend booking! It’s also worth noting (from admitted food snobs) that the buffet lunch was great, especially considering how crowded and touristy Phi Phi Island is. We’re staying at a 5 star/2 Michelin key resort and lunch was comparable to anything we’ve had at the hotel.
Phi phi islands were very beautiful! They were very crowded, but the private speed boat allowed for us to go at our own pace where everyone else appeared to herded on and off the boats quickly. Amazing snorkeling and great treatment from the tour guide and boat crew!
I highly recommend this tour! Opting for a private tour is definitely worth it, as it allows you to customize the experience to match your preferences. We especially enjoyed exploring the quieter islands and snorkeling away from the crowded areas. The boat exceeded our expectations—spacious, well-maintained, and comfortable. The crew, consisting of Gina (tour guide), Bao (captain), and Bee (first mate), were absolutely fantastic! They went above and beyond to ensure a great experience. The tour also includes snorkeling gear, water, soda, snacks, and fresh fruit, making it a truly enjoyable adventure.
The tour guides were amazing!! So fun taking great pictures of us along the way. Private tour is 10000 percent the way to go. We saw and did so much more than we would have done with a bigger group and it was way more enjoyable. Definitely recommend this tour.
Our trip from Krabi to Phi Phi Island didn’t live up to expectations. The experience was soured right from the start by our driver, who was more focused on getting tips than providing a welcoming service. Before we even got into the car, he rudely rushed me while I was waiting in the lobby for the rest of my group of four to congregate. Even though it was a private tour with no other participants, his impatience was unnecessary. To top it off, the moment we stepped into the car—before we even had a chance to sit down—he immediately asked for a tip. This behavior set a negative tone for the day. On the plus side, the staff on the speedboat were friendly and attentive, and the support lines were quite responsive and tried to help with any issues we encountered. Unfortunately, the overall experience still fell short. Lunch was disorganized and chaotic. Although there was a decent variety of food, the atmosphere felt more like a fish market than a restaurant. The lack of any system or order made it stressful and far from the relaxing meal we had hoped for. Considering we paid $150 per ticket, the amenities didn’t meet expectations. There were no towels or waterproof bags provided, which seemed like basic necessities for this kind of trip. While the boat crew and the support team’s attentiveness were bright spots, the overall experience didn’t justify the high cost. If you’re considering a similar tour, I’d recommend looking into other options that provide better value and a more organized experience.
Our tour was amazing and the day was really the highlight of our month in Thailand. I can't recommend Sea Eagle Tours enough. We were picked up from our hotel in the morning and brought to the pier where we met with a tour representative. The whole handover was very smooth and the level of organisation continued throughout the day. The boat was large for our group of 5 but having a private boat was amazing as we could take each destination at our own pace. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us great photo tips and took candid photos of us throughout the day. We also felt very safe on the tour despite some fairly choppy weather due to it being rainy season. Our personal favourite stop was swimming in Pileh Lagoon. The included lunch buffet was excellent and we were even given wristbands so we could visit the nearby toilet for free. The whole day was well planned and well-executed and all the stops were stunning. They also had snorkels on board. Drinks such as water, Coke and juice were provided throughout the day and fresh fruit was provided at the end of the day before we returned to Krabi. Overall we thought the trip was great value and really worth every penny.
Definitely worth paying for a private trip. This made the journeys between all the stops much more enjoyable. And we could choose how long to spend in each place. This was especially nice at the swim stops
We had a great time. The guide girls were very good and experienced. They timed it well and very helpful.
Well worth it. Great crew. Beautiful scenery. We had 4 kids (4 and up) they all loved it. Well organized and very comfortable way to do this
The trip was very well organised. They picked us up from the hotel as planned. We were glad to have booked the speedboat as that was much quicker compared to the long tail boats. The tour guide was very friendly. We would book more tours with the agency
Taking a private boat was worth it. It allows you to enjoy the ride, the islands and customize your trip. Most of the islands are a tourist trap, so you really want to visit and leave the islands. So having a boat that can do what you want, snorkel, stop here, there, is the only way to enjoy this area.
I don’t usually leave comments but in this case I felt doubt to leave this review. The trip was absolutely wonderful, the speed boat is new and well maintained, the crew was very nice, kind and helpful. We were on the private tour just our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids), and all the services were really on point 👌🏻. The private tour has more flexibility to stay longer or maybe leave earlier in each point, there some places that receive many visits and we were are able to avoid crowds and enjoy so much the trip. As there is so much offer, you may find lower prices, but mostly don’t have the service and conditions we had on this trip, the experience is absolutely worth it.
We had an excellent day out on the water as part of this tour and they were super helpful and accommodating as we were traveling with our three young kids. They worked around our needs for the itinerary and were very cognizant of the kids. Nee was an amazing guide and made the trip super fun and safe for our family and she went above and beyond helping our kids have a great time. The crew all had good English and were very professional. Value for money was excellent on this private boat tour.
An amazing experience! I lost my glasses in 20 feet deep water in the Phi Leh Bay and the driver dove down to retrieve them! Amazing staff and amazing locations!
We decided to treat ourselves to this as we were on our honeymoon….expensive yes..but honestly well worth it…..you soon realise you’ve made the right decision when you see other boats crammed with people…our guide beauty was lovely and made the day even better….the day was very laid back and not rushed.
The private trip was absolutely worth it. The crew was awesome and the ability to leave areas and go somewhere less busy made this trip so so much better than other tours.
Our guide was amazing the tour is catered to you. It’s what you want they make it happen. Would recommend.
The private tour is definitely worth it as you can do things at your own time and choose to spend more / less time where you enjoy. New (probably not spelling it correctly) and the team were lovely. Overall we really enjoyed - pi leh lagoon for swimming, loh lana bay for snorkeling and Bamboo Island for relaxing on the beach (it clears out tourists by about 3:30 pm)
An incredible experience as a family seeing some of the most beautiful places that Thailand has to offer. The guide was brilliant and the crew on board were too. They really looked out for us and our young son throughout.
We enjoyed the flexibility of having a private tour boat for our family. Our guide and boat crew were very nice and accommodating. After our first stop, that was beautiful but terribly crowded with boats and hundreds of people (because we were there in December), they listened to our request to try stops at less well known/tourist places. We enjoyed swimming and snorkeling and seeing the amazing cliffs and islands. The teens loved the speedy boat ride.
Nadia was very knowledgeable and flexible. She was friendly and thoughtful in planning. She took us to where we wanted to highlight our trip. Boat drivers were safe and accommodating. Lunch buffet was good.
Great staff! Great guide! Very open to suggestions. Want to Beach or swim a bit longer? No problem. Want a later lunch, no problem. They went out of their way to help us at every stop. I plan to book more with them when friends come to visit us in Thailand.
This is 100% the only way to see the Phi Phi islands. The other boats we saw were way too crowded and didn't look comfortable at all. A private tour is worth it to be able to relax on the boat and be on your own time at the tour stops. Staff was great too, highly recommend!
The staff was extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They were more than willing to take a bunch of photos for us and gave us plenty of time at each location. They never rushed us or made it seem like we were in a hurry. I felt very safe and they had plenty of water and fruit on board for us. The boat was really comfortable too. If you are wanting a private tour of the islands I highly recommend using this company. They picked us up and dropped us off right in front of the hotel. It was excellent service.
Phi phi islands were beautiful but very, very crowded. The Sea Eagle private cruise was wonderful. Not having 20 people on our boat was lovely. Crew was caring and professional, and went out of their way to accommodate us. The boat was a little difficult for me to climb in and out of though at my age. Overall highly recommend it!
Fantastic and beautiful. Very informative and fun tour guide. The captain was able to get into very tight spots with the boat and guide us to the less busy spots so we couyld enjoy a more private touring experience. Thanks!
Great experience, friendly staff, very accommodating Easy pickup from hotel Personal tour guide was great and showed us the best places to go Would recommend
Great trip - crew were very friendly and were happy to adapt the trip to what we wanted to focus on. Would highly recommend
Bewty in boat 99 gave my family of 4 a perfect day exploring the islands in and around Phi Phi. Despite the day being off and on rain & sun with some choppy seas, the crew safely got us to all the sites to enjoy and immerse ourselves. We visited Phi Phi islands, lagoon near Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Islands with a mix of some wild monkeys at Monkey Bay. I was surprised to see the large amount of visitors in Maya Bay and the restrictions placed of not being allowed to get into the water beyond our knees. Leonardo definitely exposed this once quaint island to the world. Overall, the warm water, beaches and lovely Thai hospitality made for a great full day.
Dont miss this amazing adventure, it was the easiest way to see all the islands and in a timeline that was perfect!!
Was On time, respectful. the lunch buffet food was average they need to improve . Amazing phi phi islands
Great day! Beautiful places, nice crew, super clean and comfortable boat. They were flexible with the itinerary and all have been on time
Maya bay view, the sounds of the jungle, swimming and snorkeling in the clear, salted, warm water the professional boat driver ( unfortunately I did not memorize his name) and our wonderful, carying guide, Fatin!
A fantastic experience from start to finish. Thanks to Nadia and our crew who looked after us so well, making sure we had the best day of our holiday. We are very grateful.
