Why Choose Phi Phi & Khai Island by Private Speedboat Tour?
Embark on an exclusive private speedboat journey to two of Phuket’s most stunning island destinations — Khai Island and the world-famous Phi Phi Islands — for a perfect day of swimming, snorkeling, and island exploration.
Begin your adventure at Khai Island, a beautiful tropical island just off the coast of Phuket, famous for its crystal-clear turquoise water, vibrant coral reefs, and soft white sand beach. Swim, snorkel, and relax at your own pace. Khai Island also offers a beach bar and watersports activities including jetski — available at your own leisure and expense.
Continue to the stunning Koh Phi Phi Don for lunch at a local restaurant with breathtaking sea views. After lunch, explore the vibrant Tonsai Village, then cruise to Ao Ling (Monkey Beach) to spot wild long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) in their natural habitat. Snorkel over vibrant coral reefs before cruising past the dramatic Viking Cave (Tham Phaya Nak) on Koh Phi Phi Leh.
Glide into the breathtaking Pileh Lagoon — a sheltered emerald-green lagoon completely enclosed by dramatic limestone cliffs — for swimming and photography. Conclude your day at the world-famous Maya Bay, filming location of the 2000 film “The Beach” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, before cruising back to Phuket.

FAQ - Phi Phi & Khai Island tour by Speedboat
How long is the speedboat ride from Phuket to Phi Phi Island
The Phi Phi Island speedboat journey from Royal Phuket Marina typically takes approximately 55 to 70 minutes each way, depending on sea conditions. Our modern, powerful speedboats are designed for comfort and stability, making the ride an enjoyable part of the experience rather than just a transfer.
Where does the charter speedboat from Phuket to Phi Phi depart from?
Your charter speedboat from Phuket to Phi Phi departs from Royal Phuket Marina. Hotel transfers are included from all major areas — Patong, Kata, Karon, Kamala, Surin, Bang Tao, Rawai, and Chalong. Please be ready in your hotel lobby 5 minutes before your confirmed pickup time as detailed in your booking confirmation.
What is the difference between a private charter speedboat from Phuket to Phi Phi and a group tour?
When you charter a speedboat from Phuket to Phi Phi privately, the entire vessel is reserved exclusively for your group. Unlike group tours — where you share the boat with strangers and follow a fixed schedule — a private charter gives you full flexibility over timing, pace, and priorities. You spend more time at the spots you love and skip what doesn't interest you. It's the preferred choice for families, couples, and groups of friends who value privacy and a personalized experience.
How do I book the Phi Phi & Khai Island tour by speedboat from Phuket?
Booking can be made directly through our website or by reaching our team via phone or email. We strongly recommend booking in advance — private charters to Phi Phi Island are in high demand, particularly during peak season from November through April. Once confirmed, you will receive full pickup details and timing by message.
Which hotels do you pick up from? Is there an extra charge for distant hotels?
First of all, we provide free round-trip hotel transfers by air-conditioned minivan from most areas across Phuket, including Patong, Kata, Karon, Kamala, Bang Tao, Surin, Phuket Town, and Rawai.
However, for hotels in more remote areas such as Mai Khao, Nai Yang, Nai Thon, or Cape Panwa, a small transfer surcharge may apply. As a result, we strongly recommend sharing your hotel name at the time of booking so that we can confirm your exact pickup time and any additional costs in advance.
In addition, if your accommodation is located outside Phuket Province, such as in Khao Lak or Krabi, a private transfer can be arranged for an additional charge of 3,500 THB per van (round trip).
Furthermore, your private speedboat departs from Royal Phuket Marina. Therefore, hotel pickup typically begins between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM, with arrival at the marina around 8:30 AM. If you prefer to make your own way there, you are welcome to meet us directly at our meeting point at Royal Phuket Marina. We will confirm your exact pickup time via email or message one day before your bamboo island tour.
