Departure as we set sail on our Phi Phi adventure! 03:40pm Our first stop is Viking Caves for a photo and then onto the stunning Pileh bay for snorkeling and kayaking. We can usually spot some harmless black tipped reef sharks if you are quiet enough. 04:30pm After a snack fresh fruit we then head to Maya Bay for our mooring spot for the night As we arrive the day trippers will be leaving and we will be left with our own paradise so you are free to snorkel, relax and kayak whilst the sun goes down. 06:30pm it’s time for a delicious all you can eat Thai feast. Special diets are catered for with individual meals 07:30pm After your meal has settled, put on your life jacket, masks and snorkels and swim with the glowing plankton. Submerge your head in the sea, agitate the water to make the plankton glow to experience a liquid starry night and a truly magical kaleidoscopic light show. 09:00pm After you have dried off we then head back to our own private beach and the party kicks off! We listen to music, play games giving you time connect with your fellow travelers and have a blast. Everyone gets a free bucket (the local drinking habit consisting of either vodka or Thai rum) For those who enjoy a drink, there is a bar with alcoholic drinks for sale 100THB for a beer and 250THB for rum or vodka buckets 10:00pm A tasty chicken barbecue is served and the fun continues. 11:00pm We head back to the boat.

When you are ready, sleeping bags, pillows and mattresses are provided. You are free to choose your sleeping spot. If it’s raining you can move inside the boat. There are no individual cabins. Sleeping is dorm style on the deck of our boat. A good night sleep is pretty much unattainable as you wont be used to sleeping on the deck of a boat. Most of our customers agree this more than compensated by the experiences and unique surroundings. 06:00am Our crew will wake you bright and early the next morning for another trip back to the beach for free time and our traditional group jump shot (so bring your camera). 07:00am Breakfast is served back on the boat which consists of coffee, tea, eggs and toast. 08:30am After breakfast it is time to visit Monkey Beach for more snorkeling, kayaking and if you dare a beach session.

What To Expect

Our sleep aboard is a unique way to see the best of the astonishing Koh Phi Phi and surrounding islands. We are the only operator on Phi Phi that allows you to immerse yourself in wanderlust, sleep under the stars aboard our purpose built 90 foot wooden boat, leave footprints on idyllic beaches and listen to the waves lapping the soft, white sand providing you your own Robinson Crusoe moment!

Maya Bay Tours supports the closure of the beach at Maya Bay in order for the recovery of coral reefs, mangrove forest and the general ecosystem.  Our planned itinerary still allows us to sleep overnight in Maya Bay but we do not have access to the beach. To actually see the bay without any boats moored and not a single person or footprint in the sand is truly a sight to behold .    If the weather conditions do not suit mooring in Maya Bay we have several other options that are just as beautiful including Loh Moo Dee beach, Plieh bay and Loh Sama bay or Monkey Beach. Each of these locations has an abundance of sparkling bioluminescent plankton so you will get to experience the psychedelic underwater show.

There are other sunset tours on Phi Phi but we are unique and different because:

  • We leave Phi Phi at 03:00pm and arrive at our destinations as the other tour boats are departing leaving you free to explore and experience the quieter side of Phi Phi’s Andaman Sea and its stunning surroundings.​
  • We have a purpose built 90 foot boat with a 2 western toilets and showers, plenty of sun baking and shady areas, stereo and fresh water on board. You are free to wander around the boat and mingle with the other customers – far better than being stuck on a crowded long tail boat. We are the only tour that offers a freshly cooked all you can eat buffet.
  • Our boat is brand new in 2018 and has been built especially for our customers needs and we will conduct annual preventative maintenance to maintain it at the highest standards. See more Phi Phi Islands Tour.

Money taken during tour

****Money taken during tour**** I wanted to give this place 5 stars because the tour is really fun and we had the best time on the sleep aboard trip. Snorkeling in the bioluminescent plankton and having a bonfire on the beach and playing games was our favorite part. The food was really good especially the barbecue chicken. Most of the crew was great. That being said when we went to go to tip the crew at the end of our trip we were missing significant amount of money. The office was no help to us they didn’t even offer to summon the police and help with a police report as there was a language barrier. The owners insisted it was another customer that took it, however we had our money on us at all times unless we were in the water which was done as a group. I normally wouldn’t even post a review but I don’t want what happened to us to happen to another customer. I’d still recommend this tour but find a way to keep your money on your person at all times or just bring enough to tip. We were really disappointed it ended this way and will not be returning.

Incredible time on Maya Bay Sleepaboard

Highly recommend staying a night on the Maya bay sleep aboard. I stayed here a few weeks ago and it was one of the best nights I had in Koh Phi phi. From night snorkeling with glowing green plankton, to kayaking, to a private beach campfire with drinks and games, it was an incredible time. Not to mention two visits to beautiful Maya Bay where “The Beach” was filmed. The staff were all helpful and friendly and really made the whole trip run smoothly. Sleeping on the upper deck is not too bad since you are partying at night and then wake up pretty early for a morning view of Maya bay. But it is all totally worth it if you are looking for a unique and memorable experience you can’t get anywhere else on Koh phi phi!

Most memorable experience

Let’s start by saying the owner went above and beyond to accommodate our group. The staff were amazing. Food was delicious. Private bonfire was so fun. Sleeping under the stars was the highlight of my experience. To be honest I can’t do this excursion justice with a simple review. Stay overnight. You won’t regret it. I’ll never forget this experience. Thank you for everything!

Unique and unforgettable experience!

Incredible experience in Thailand 🇹🇭. Something to put on the MUST DO LIST. To start with let’s talk about the AMAZING and FRIENDLY staff ❤️. Everyone extremely friendly and helpful on the Team aboard. Funny tour guides, making jokes all times and making everyone feel comfortable and home aboard. Great boat, with everything you need to feel safe and secure. They do offer kayak and snorkeling equipments, and the higiene of everything it was incredible! They also have 2 fresh water small showers, so after each swim in the ocean you can easily get read off the salty water from your body. The offer food, and the taste of it is incredible! Fresh seafood, the Capitan does all the fishing 🎣 whilst we were having fun. They do offer drinks, cocktails for free, all times fresh and delicious fruit and water to drink as much as you like. But the highlight of this trip is to sleep under the starts 🌌 and wake up with one of the most incredible sunrise 🌅 in the middle of the ocean and some cliffs on the middle of Thailand 🇹🇭. MAGICAL & UNFORGETTABLE 💕. Next day we went to ask for some recommendation about someone to take us in a long tale boat to go around another islands, and they have arranged everything for us. Great price, nice Capitan again and fresh fruit on the way back. Highly recommend this company.

AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE

An unforgettable experience to do as a couple or with friends, this is very good, you see maya bay without even one person, you can jump from above the boat (over 6 meters), snorkel and kayak with small sharks and on top of that the food they give you on board is delicious (special mention for the barbecue of Bao who made us an exquisite chicken and a potato for my girlfriend who is a grilled vegetarian); plus they have a bar and a bar to be able to drink buckets of rum or vodka, and also smoke for those who want. What I want to highlight most is the attention of ALL the staff of people in charge, we were alone at night on the boat as if it were a private boat and the attention was the same as if it was full of people. They also took care of our bags and took us to our hotel which was not close to the port. If you are looking for a different activity and can see the most famous beach in Thailand without even one person, we highly recommend
