The experience
- Best for
- An early start for Phi Phi, and four more islands the same day
- Not for you if
- You get seasick, have children aged 2 or under, or want a short day close to Ao Nang
Phi Phi is further out than the islands off Ao Nang, which is why a day there goes by speedboat and why it is long. This version adds two things to the usual Phi Phi day: an early start, which is the point of its name, and four more islands on the same trip, which is why it runs to nine hours.
The named highlights are Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon, with swimming, snorkelling and a Thai buffet lunch. Maya Bay has rules of its own: it closes every year from 1 August to 30 September, when tours still pass but do not land, and swimming there is not allowed at any time. The four islands are not named on the summary, so check them on the booking page.
Read the rest
Among the Phi Phi days we list, this is the one to choose if you want to start early and add four more islands to Phi Phi. The plain Phi Phi speedboat day is shorter and cheaper; the sunset tours trade the early start for an evening at sea. National park entrance fees are often paid in cash on the day rather than included: check what your booking covers.

Common questions
Can I swim at Maya Bay?
No. Swimming is not allowed at Maya Bay. You can go ashore when the bay is open, and from 1 August to 30 September it is closed to landings altogether.
Are park fees included?
Check the booking page. On many Phi Phi tours the national park entrance fee is not included and is paid in cash on the day.
How is this different from the other Phi Phi tours?
It starts early and adds four more islands, for nine hours in all. The plain Phi Phi speedboat day is shorter; the sunset tours stay out into the evening instead.
Why start early?
Its name, Early Bird, points to an early departure, but the booking page gives no time and no reason. We cannot tell you how many boats you will meet: that depends on the day and the season.
