Phi Phi Islands and Bamboo Island by Speedboat
If you’ve ever dreamed of discovering crystal-clear lagoons, untouched beaches, and world-famous movie locations, the Phi Phi Islands and Bamboo Island by speedboat should be at the top of your list. Offered by Phuket Travel Store, this tour invites you on a full-day tropical adventure where nature meets comfort, excitement, and pure relaxation.
This speedboat tour is one of the most popular island-hopping experiences in Southern Thailand. Located just off the coast of Phuket, the Phi Phi Islands are famous for their towering limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and white sandy beaches. Add in the serene beauty of Bamboo Island, and you have the perfect balance of action and serenity.
Explore the Emerald Wonder of Pileh Lagoon
Imagine swimming in an enormous natural saltwater pool surrounded by towering cliffs. That’s Pileh Lagoon, often described as an emerald gem hidden within the heart of Phi Phi Leh. The calm, crystal-clear waters are ideal for a peaceful swim or to simply float and soak in the natural beauty. Accessible only by boat, this world-class lagoon is one of the most Instagram-worthy locations in Thailand.
Step Foot on the Legendary Maya Bay
Maya Bay, located on Phi Phi Leh, gained global fame as the filming location of The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. But beyond its cinematic fame, Maya Bay is breathtakingly beautiful in real life. With its soft white sand, shallow clear water, and majestic limestone backdrop, it's no surprise that this is a must-see attraction in Phuket.
The bay had been closed for environmental recovery, but now it is open again with controlled access, allowing visitors to witness its beauty while respecting its fragile ecosystem. Walking on this beach is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you simply can't miss.
Discover the Tranquility of Bamboo Island
Far less crowded but equally mesmerizing, Bamboo Island (Koh Phai) is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Known for its crescent-shaped white sand beach and lush interior greenery, the island is a top spot for snorkeling in Phuket. The coral reefs just offshore are part of one of the largest coral seascapes in Thailand, home to colorful marine life and vibrant anemones.
Whether you're swimming, snorkeling, or just soaking up the sun, Bamboo Island is a paradise for nature lovers and photographers alike.
Other Scenic Highlights: Viking Cave
During the tour, you’ll also cruise past the mysterious Viking Cave, where ancient wall paintings decorate the inside and local people collect swiftlet bird nests for traditional delicacies. While visitors cannot enter the cave, the exterior alone makes for a striking sight and an exciting glimpse into the local culture.

Customer Testimonials
Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions
We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!
Excellente journée!
Excellente journée en bateau pour visites les 4 îles, la guide était super sympathique et accueillante. La journée était rythmée mais lorgique avec 4 îles à visiter! Et fin vers 14h30 donc c’est plutôt agréable pour rentrer tranquillement à l’hôtel pas trop tard ! Belle découverte, je recommande!
Ayutthaya
We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
