Sea Tour · Andaman Sea
Our own boats. Our own captains. A small group, a real schedule, and the corners of Phi Phi that get crowded out by 9am on the big party boats — Pileh Lagoon at first light, Maya Bay before the queues, lunch on a beach that isn't shared with six other tour buses.

The Route
Direct minivan pickup from Patong, Karon, Kata or Rawai — no transfer buses, no waiting around at a pier office.
Safety briefing, life jackets fitted, coffee and fresh fruit while we cross to the Phi Phi archipelago.
A turquoise lagoon inside a limestone amphitheatre — we arrive early, while the big boats are still loading at the pier.
A slow cruise past the swiftlet-nest cave and the bay made famous on screen, with a short photo stop.
Timed to land between the big-boat waves, with enough time to actually enjoy the bay instead of queuing for a photo spot.
Lunch is served on a calmer stretch of sand away from the main bay — fresh fruit, rice, curries, and grilled seafood.
Snorkel gear is included for anyone who wants it; non-swimmers are welcome to stay on board or relax under the canopy.
A cold drink, a seat in the shade, and the islands disappearing behind the wake.
Same minivan, same driver, straight back to your hotel.
What You're Paying For
Every price on this page is the price you'll actually pay. Here's exactly what's bundled in, and the handful of things that aren't.
The Fleet & The Crew
We don't charter seats from someone else's operator. Every guide and captain on this page works for us, full time — which is the only way we can promise the small-group cap, every single sailing.
The boat
18m fibreglass speedboat · twin diesel engines · built 2022 · Marine Department registered
The crew
Captain · 11 years at sea
Holds a coastal master's license and has run the Phi Phi route since 2014 — knows exactly which hour each bay is quiet.
Guide · Thai / English / Russian
Certified in first aid and water rescue. Handles snorkeling groups, lunch service, and translates the captain's safety briefing.
Safety On Board
We'd rather you read this before you book than ask about it after.
Blue Sea is a registered Tourism Authority of Thailand operator — license number on file in our Trust & About page.
Every guest is covered for the full duration of the tour, from pickup to drop-off.
MV Andaman Pearl is registered with the Marine Department and inspected annually.
Adult and child sizes carried on every sailing — fitted before we leave the pier, not handed out mid-crossing.
If the marine park closes for weather, you get a free date change — not a forced refund fight.
A question before you book shouldn't take longer to answer than the booking itself.
Is This Your Trip?
What Guests Say
"Pileh Lagoon at 9:45 with maybe four other boats. By 11 it looked like a parking lot from the cliff above — our timing was the whole trip."
"My daughter is six and gets seasick on everything. The crew had her settled in the shade with crackers before she'd even noticed we left the pier."
"The captain pointed out things the boat next to us just sped straight past. Cost more than the cheapest option online — worth every baht."
Pricing & Options
Most guests join the small group. If you'd rather set your own pace, charter the boat outright.

Questions
Swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, and a light layer for the boat ride — it's breezy on open water even on a hot day. Snorkeling gear, life jackets and lunch are provided.
Light rain doesn't stop the tour — the islands often look better in soft light. If the marine park officially closes for weather, we move your date for free; we don't run the trip if it isn't safe.
Yes — we carry properly sized child life jackets and our guide keeps an eye on kids in the water. For children under 4, we'd recommend the Private Charter so you can set a gentler pace.
Pickup is included for Patong, Karon, Kata and Rawai. Staying elsewhere on the island? Message us your hotel name and we'll quote the small transfer add-on, if any.
It's included for every guest at no extra charge — mask, snorkel and fins in your size. The only optional extras are the GoPro rental and the onboard photographer.
Full refund of your deposit up to 48 hours before departure. Inside 48 hours, we'll move your date once at no cost — refunds are handled case-by-case if that's not possible.
