Maya Bay Sunset Cruise
Description
Experience a mesmerizing sunset followed by a night swim in the glow of bioluminescent plankton: there’s no better way to enjoy an evening than on this Maya Bay cruise departing from Koh Phi Phi Don.
Maya Bay Sunset Cruise
Our adventure begins at 2:30 pm when we gather at a central tourist office in Ko Phi Phi Don. From there, a short 10-minute walk takes us to the island's pier, where we'll board our boat and set off into the shimmering Andaman Sea.
We will head south, with our first stop at the northern shore of Ko Phi Phi Lee, where we can admire the renowned Viking Caves from the water. After exploring these captivating rock formations, our cruise will continue towards the idyllic Maya Bay.
This stunning bay is famously recognized as the filming site of The Beach, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio. After soaking in the breathtaking views from the deck, we will glide to a nearby area where you will have the opportunity to relax, snorkel, or kayak as the sun sets. A delightful snack buffet of fresh Thai fruits will also be available for you to enjoy.
As dusk falls, around 6:30 pm, we'll indulge in a delicious buffet dinner while taking in the views of the enchanting Thai islands transitioning into night. Following our meal, we will gear up with snorkelling equipment for a truly extraordinary experience: swimming amongst bioluminescent plankton.
After basking in this unforgettable natural wonder, we’ll return to our boat for the journey back to Ko Phi Phi Don, aiming to arrive at the pier by approximately 9 pm.
