PhiPhi, Maya & Khai Island One Day Tour by Speed Boat – Phuket New Generation Tour

The Phuket New Generation Phi Phi, Maya & Khai one-day speedboat tour departs Asia Marina at 09:00 after a 07:30–07:45 hotel pickup and returns about 17:30. The route covers Maya Bay, Loh Samah, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, buffet lunch on Phi Phi Don, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island — with fluent English-speaking guides and a Chinese-speaking guide available. Arranged by Chang Thai Tour & Travel, a licensed agency in Chalong.

Why does the guide matter more than the boat?

Guests tell us the same thing after every Phi Phi trip: the day rises or falls on the crew. Speedboats are speedboats — what changes the experience is a guide who explains where you are, keeps the group together at Maya’s boardwalk, points out the ancient paintings at Viking Cave instead of just driving past, and reads the group’s energy. New Generation built its reputation on exactly that: fluent English-speaking guides, and a private Chinese-speaking guide available for Mandarin-speaking guests — something very few Phuket operators offer.

If your group mixes languages or includes first-time visitors to Thailand, this is the trip we pull out from behind the counter first.

What does the day look like?

• 07:30–07:45 — Hotel pickup.
• 09:00 — Depart from Asia Marina by speedboat.
• 10:15 — Maya Bay: beach time, photos and sightseeing on foot; then Loh Samah Bay, jumping and swimming at Pileh Lagoon, and Viking Cave with its ancient cave paintings.
• 12:30 — Buffet lunch on Phi Phi Don.
• 13:30 — Monkey Beach for swimming, snorkelling or white-sand lazing.

• 17:00–17:30 — Return to Asia Marina and transfer back to your hotel.

As with every sea itinerary, times flex with conditions — especially June to October, when the monsoon swell can reorder stops for safety.

Is this tour right for you?

First-timers, mixed-language families and groups who want the full highlight reel in one day — this is your trip. The mid-morning Maya arrival keeps the pace comfortable rather than frantic.

Who should pick something else? If beating the crowds at Maya Bay is your top priority, the Smile Tour early-bird departure gets there first thing instead. If anyone aboard dreads speedboat bounce, the Phi Phi Cruiser with VIP seating is the calm-stomach option. Every alternative is on our Phi Phi Islands tours page.

What should you know before you go?

Three honest notes from our family-run shop in Chalong. One: the Phi Phi national park fee is collected in cash on the day, on top of the tour price — every operator, every boat, so bring cash. Two: swimming inside Maya Bay is not allowed since the reopening; your swim time is at Pileh, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok. Three: bring motion tablets if you are sensitive — the crossing is about an hour of open water each way. The rest of the fine print is in our Phi Phi tour price guide for 2026.

Packing list: swimwear under clothes, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, hat, dry bag, cash for the park fee and beach snacks.
