What this plan covers
Made for travellers who can give the islands a full day and are happy with an early start, this outing balances boat time with short stops on land. The morning runs from Maya Bay to Pileh Lagoon; after lunch near Ton Sai Bay, cross Ko Phi Phi Don on foot to Loh Dalum Bay, then return to Phuket for dinner on Thalang Road. A Maya Bay day trip from Phuket depends on the boat you choose, so arrange the passenger boat or speedboat tour first and confirm departure, island stops and return timing directly with its operator. Keep dinner in Old Town after the boat return.
Opening hours, prices and routes can change, so check the details before you set off.

Getting around, Nature, Culture
1
Rassada Pier
Getting around
flexible
Passenger boats to Ko Phi Phi Don depart from this Phuket pier, and speedboat service also operates to and from the island. It is the starting point for the day’s island crossings.
Good to know
Passenger boats run from Rassada Pier to Phi Phi Don. The Andaman Wave Master ferry to Ton Sai Pier takes 2 hours, with daily departures at 08:30 and 13:45; its speedboat transfer takes about 1 hour. Check the operator for current fares and return arrangements. Begin at Rassada Pier in Phuket, where passenger boats to Ko Phi Phi Don depart; speedboat service also runs to and from the island.
2
Maya Bay, Ko Phi Phi Le
Nature
1 hour
Limestone cliffs surround Maya Bay and its white sand beach on Ko Phi Phi Le. Take in the cove from the visitor area, then continue by boat to Pileh Lagoon.
Good to know
Maya Bay, Loh Samah Bay and Loko Bay close annually from 1 August to 30 September. Planned visitor access uses the jetty at Loh Samah Bay. In 2022, visits ran in 11 one-hour rounds from 07.00 to 18.00; check current park instructions before you go. Take the boat from Rassada Pier to the island stop; ask the operator about crossing times and the landing arrangements at Loh Samah.
Pileh Lagoon is a stop on local long-tail boat day cruises from Phi Phi Don. Spend time looking around the lagoon, or snorkel if that is part of your boat outing.
Good to know
For snorkelling near coral reefs, wear a life vest unless you hold a recognised freediving certificate. National park rules prohibit alcohol; leave no rubbish and do not touch or damage coral or marine life. Continue from Maya Bay by boat. Check with your operator for the route and timing, and whether a local long-tail boat is part of the outing.
4
Ton Sai Bay and village, Ko Phi Phi Don
Nature
1.5 hours
Ko Phi Phi Don is the largest and central island of the Phi Phi Islands. Ton Sai Bay is its main port and a hub for accommodation, restaurants and other amenities. Ton Sai Bay is Ko Phi Phi Don’s main pier, with restaurants and tourist shops nearby. Stop for lunch around the bay before walking across the island to Loh Dalum Bay.
Good to know
Choose a restaurant around the bay for lunch, and agree on a meeting point before setting off on foot toward Loh Dalum Bay. From Pileh Lagoon, take the boat to Ton Sai Bay; ask the operator about the route and when to be ready to board.
Getting to Loh Dalum Bay
24 min on foot · 2.01 km
5
Loh Dalum Bay
Nature
45 minutes
Ko Phi Phi Don has three viewpoints, and Loh Dalum Beach has evening entertainment on the island. Ton Sai Bay, the island’s main pier, has accommodation, restaurants and tourist shops. Make time for a shoreline pause, then enjoy the island’s evening scene here. The change of pace gives your visit a social finish without adding another stop.
Good to know
Keep your operator’s confirmed return time handy, and leave enough time to get back to the boarding point. Walk from Ton Sai Bay along the route, about 24 minutes on foot.
6
Phuket Old Town (Thalang Road)
Culture
2 hours
Old Phuket Town took shape during the reign of King Rama V, with Chinese residents who made their fortunes from tin mining. Old houses in Sino-Portuguese style line both sides of Thalang Road. If your visit falls on Sunday, browse the walking street market along Thalang Road from 16.00 to 22.00 hrs. and make it your evening stop for a change of pace.
Good to know
Phuket Old Town’s walking street market is held every Sunday from 16.00 to 22.00 hrs. along Thalang Road. Take a boat from Loh Dalum Bay to Rassada Pier, then continue to Thalang Road in Phuket Old Town. Check sailing times and return arrangements with the boat operator.
Is one day enough for a Phi Phi Islands day trip from Phuket?
One long day can cover Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, lunch around Ton Sai Bay, Loh Dalum Bay and an evening in Phuket Old Town. Boat times shape the pace, so confirm the return crossing with your operator and keep the island stops within that schedule.
What should you book or check first?
Arrange a passenger boat or speedboat service from Rassada Pier first. Confirm departure and return times, the island stops and landing arrangements directly with the operator. Maya Bay closes annually from 1 August to 30 September, and current park instructions should be checked before you go.
What should you wear and bring for the boat day?
For snorkelling near coral reefs, wear a life vest unless you hold a recognised freediving certificate. National park rules prohibit alcohol and rubbish, and visitors should not touch coral or marine life. Phuket receives most rain in September; no temple stop is included on this route.
How do you get around between the stops?
Passenger boats and speedboat transfers run between Rassada Pier and Phi Phi Don. The Andaman Wave Master ferry to Ton Sai Pier takes 2 hours, departing at 08:30 and 13:45 daily; its speedboat transfer takes about 1 hour. Confirm onward island visits and return arrangements with the operator before setting out.
Where should you stay in Phuket for this day trip?
Phuket Old Town suits an evening around Thalang Road, while Patong and Kata offer bases near their respective beaches. Compare the areas by setting and location, and check availability for your dates.
