Sailing Thailand - Phuket to Phuket

This was good fun, an excellent crew on board and good vibes

Sailing Thailand - Phuket to Ko Phi Phi

Fantastic trip. Don’t hesitate to book. We did the 4 days one because I was nervous about being stuck on a boat for four days but they planned great stops and activities and I never once felt bored or like I want to get off the boat. The trip went around the most magnificent scenery and the food was amazing. Would do it again in a heart beat.

Phuket Sailing Adventure

Awesome trip on sea! Amazing locations, mix of activities, great crew, chef who created the most delicious meals! I would recommend it to anybody!

Sail Phuket to Ko Phi Phi

Everything was great!! We really had a wonderful time.

Yoga Sailing in Thailand

Sailing through the exotic paradise of Thailand

Sailing Thailand - Ko Phi Phi to Phuket

Amazing trip! Really chill and relaxed. Excellent crew, really friendly and supportive. We had a fantastic time up there.

Sail Ko Phi Phi to Phuket

Pleasant. Don’t expect any sailing, it’s motorboat catered for tourists who want to relax, suntan and read a book and eat lots of good food. The wind wasn’t always there to be true but even when it was we had a scheduled tour so not many tourists were up for it so captain has to follow itinerary. It’s a bit sad as the boat crew are all very seasoned sailors who just make a nice little cruise for the middle aged. It’s 2 and 1/2 days not 4 as advertised. Main company is Intrepid and they have so many safety rules, makes you feel like a child in a holiday camp. I had a good time but definitely I’d like to try a proper sailing boat next time.

Customer Reviews

“Recently we visited Phukets Blue Water Charters. Besides the beautiful waters and weather, our trip on the boat was amazing. We were greeted with a warm welcome by staff and they really did cater for our every need on the boat. If you are looking for an amazing time out at sea I would highly recommend Blue Water Charters Phuket. You guys will definitely see us again on our next trip.”

What an awsome time we spent in thailand a few weeks ago. One of the many highlights was a boat trip on the HAKUNA MATATA. An experience i wont forget in a hurry. We were taken from island to island on this amazing boat. I can highly recommend this trip with the most helpful and friendly staff. The air con bedrooms were a blessing on the ever so hot nights. The boat is spacious all round and enough seating provided. I highly recommend this boat trip and a must on ones bucket list when visiting thailand. Thank you to all on the HAKUNA MATATA for making our holiday one to remember. Keep up the good work. Hope to see you all soon again.”

  “The time I spent on Hakuna Matata and subsequently Rafiki was one of the best times I’ve had in Thailand. Both boats, as always, were pristinely clean and the amenities on board were top notch. The staff were super friendly and professional every time myself and my family used the charter. It was amazing that we were able to experience, snorkeling, canoeing and getting up close and personal to caves and islands. The only “negative” comment I have is that the food was so exceptionally fresh and tasty that I came home with extra kilos on my body and not in my luggage. Hats off to you all you are offering exceptional quality and high standards to tourists. Well done Blue Water Charter.”

This could be you!

Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour: Starting on Phi Phi Island [Package A]

Introducing our [Phi Phi Island Package A]! This is our classic longtail boat tour, and a favourite for many people. The tour starts and ends on Phi Phi Island itself, so you’ll need to have accommodation there for at least one night. If you’re not on the island, you can find our tours from Phuket here , and from Krabi here . Starting on Koh Phi Phi allows us to run this private tour in the early morning or late evening, which are usually the quietest times at the island. Each tour is unique and you’ll get to explore the Phi Phi Islands on our private longtail boat, guided by a friendly local Five Star Thailand Tour Guide. 💛

Tour Information

• Start on Phi Phi Don.
• We meet you at your hotel on Phi Phi.
• Explore Phi Phi Islands with our traditional Thai Longtail Boat.
• Snorkelling is included.
• The tour is private, only you and our crew.
• We try to avoid crowds as best as possible.
• This tour visits Maya Bay (Beach access is only allowed during select months).
• We plan a custom route on the day, taking into account weather, tides, and parks restrictions.
• Have a chance to meet Monkeys, Reefsharks and More.
• Explore Beaches, Bays, Lagoons, and Secret Coves.
• The route can be customised to skip places, prioritise snorkelling, or spend more time somewhere you love.
• Lunch is included, and we stop by the beach to eat at a local restaurant.
• There are three times to choose from; sunrise, daytime, or sunset.

We like to think this is the best tour you can take in the Phi Phi Islands. Our first, and original Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour. Explore Koh Phi Phi on your own charming Thai Longtail Boat. You’ll be paired with one of our expert local guides and there is lots of sightseeing and snorkelling.

This awesome tour has three different packages to choose from! Choose between sunrise, sunset or daytime. Our sunset tour is the most popular, and it’s also one of the least busy times, after other boats have returned back to the mainland.

Koh Phi Phi is made up of two main islands; Koh Phi Phi Don, and Koh Phi Phi Leh. All of the places you’ve heard about are on these two islands. That includes spots like; Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pileh Lagoon, Loh Samah Beach and Maya Bay along with lots of other beaches, bays, and lagoons.

This tour does not follow a fixed route or a fixed schedule. Koh Phi Phi is dynamic and so are we. Trust our local knowlage, as our expert guides take into consideration the anticipated weather, tides, crowds, and park restrictions in order to plan the best route for that day. We try to fit in as much as possible, without rushing. And guests can personalise the tour route aswell. Spend more time snorkeling, or more time in a place you love. It’s up to you. It’s a private tour.

Glowing Plankton : Our sunset package can be extended into the early evening. We can’t guarantee you’ll see the plankton – as we can’t control nature. But we will do our best to spot it, and we’re usually successful. If you’re lucky you’ll see the ocean shine and shimmer with any movement through the water.

Bamboo Island : We advise guests not to include Bamboo Island on this tour because it is far from the other Phi Phi Islands. We want to ensure a relaxed pace on our tour, so including Bamboo Island would mean less time to spend at other locations. However, if visiting Bamboo Island is important to you, it can be added as an additional stop. ✋ Bamboo is located in open waters and it’s sometimes unsafe to visit– we cannot guarantee a visit.

If you pay extra for collection from a hotel or resort on the Northern Peninsula, you will be closer to Bamboo Island and there will be a stop there, if the weather allows. This only applies to guests starting our Phi Phi tour from: Zeavola Resort , P.P Erawan Resort , PP Holiday Resort , PP Natural Resort

Approximate Tour Duration For Phi Phi Island [Package A]

🌅 Sunrise Package: Approx. 6 Hours

😎 Daytime Package: Approx. 6 Hours

🌄 Sunset Package: Approx. 6 Hours

➕ Sunset Package + Plankton: Approx. 6.5 Hours

➕ Sunset Package + Bamboo + Plankton: Approx. 7.5 Hours

➕ Any Package + Bamboo: Approx. 7 Hours

Choose from our sunrise, sunset, or daytime tour packages for exploring the Phi Phi Islands. The default duration is six hours, which we’ve determined to be the best amount of time for the Phi Phi Island Tour. However, you can extend it for additional stops. We’ll confirm the exact start and finish times with you the day before the tour, as they may vary slightly depending on sunrise and sunset times throughout the year.

Phi Phi Island is all about nature, the wildlife, the beaches, the ocean, the Monkeys, the Reef-Sharks, the snorkelling! There is plenty to do and see on our tour. Snorkelling is included as standard, and equipment provided. There will be lots of time to explore the bays and beaches dotted around Koh Phi Phi.

It is common to see Black Tip Reef Sharks in Phi Phi, it is common to see Monkeys. It is possible to see Hawksbill turtles. But do note that we can’t control the animals or nature and we can’t guarantee you’ll see anything. Reef Sharks are not dangerous to humans.

At Phi Phi, we don’t have the same restrictions as tours from Phuket or Krabi . When you start your tour from Phi Phi Island, you can choose a sunrise tour or a sunset tour. It’s often more peaceful at these times. We do try to avoid crowds as much as possible, but we’d never promise it. It’s something out of our control and at popular locations like Maya Bay it is usually unavoidable.

Breakfast : Our sunrise tour package includes hot coffee in the early morning.

Lunch : This tour includes lunch, we’ve picked a set of popular, and easily recognizable Thai meals for guests to choose from. Our lunch menu includes hand-picked classic meals like Phad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, and a selection of southern Thai curries. The meals are not spicy unless you request otherwise. Each meal is bursting with authentic flavours of Thailand. We stop off at a local restaurant to eat lunch, although depending on the exact package it can sometimes be more of a brunch or a late lunch! We are able to cater to Vegetarian, Vegan and Halal requests.

Water : Clean drinking water is made available throughout the tour.

Alcoholic Drinks : Our tour does not include alcoholic drinks. Guests are welcome to bring their own or we can provide an ice-chiller with cool Thai Beers, on request. We kindly ask that guests not bring single use, disposable cups.

Top Tours to Phi Phi Island from Phuket

Phi Phi in Thailand is made up of six different islands: Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi Leh, Biddah Nok, Biddah Nai, Yung, and Pai.

If you’re a solo traveler , you can buy ferry tickets for this route from 12Go Asia , Thailand’s main transportation aggregator. They have multiple ferries and speedboats departing throughout the day.

Going alone means you can only go to Phi Phi Don, not the other nearby destinations or the famous Maya Bay. For those, you’ll need to join a tour or be a bit crazy (like me) and go ocean kayaking.

Tip! For most trips, the 400 baht per person national park fee is not included in the price.

FAQs About Phuket to Phi Phi Tours

Phi Phi tours range from $50 to $150 for a shared boat, while private boats can cost around $1000 for 15 people. But this is just an average.

To reach Phi Phi from Phuket , you can take a ferry or speedboat. Ferries are more affordable but slower, taking about 2 hours. Speedboats are faster, taking around 45 minutes to 1 hour. Both options are readily available and can be booked through a operator or at the pier yourself.

While a day trip to Phi Phi Island can give you a taste of its beauty and attractions, I recommend spending at least an overnight if you have the time. If you have only one day, visit popular spots like Maya Bay, Monkey Beach, and the Viewpoint.

Yes, a Phuket to Phi Phi day trip is definitely worth it. It’s known for its limestone cliffs, crystal clear water, coral reefs, and vibrant marine life. You can go snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing, and exploring iconic locations like Maya Bay.

Phi Phi can be a bit pricey compared to other spots in Thailand, especially for places to stay and things to do. But there are choices for every budget, so you’ll find both fancy and affordable options.

The best time to visit Phi Phi Island is during the dry season, from November to April. The weather is usually sunny with minimal rainfall, perfect for beach activities and exploring. However, this is peak season, so expect bigger crowds and higher prices. For a quieter but wetter experience, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of May to October.

Phuket is a tourist hub of activities and vibrant nightlife. It’s a place with endless options. In contrast, Phi Phi is smaller and more relaxed, known for its natural beauty. If you want more of a city vibe, choose Phuket. For a serene getaway, Phi Phi is perfect.

Swimming in the archipelago is generally considered safe, but be aware of the tides and currents, especially during certain seasons when the sea conditions can change. Swim in designated swimming areas and avoid areas with strong waves or dangerous rocks.

Final Thoughts: Best Phi Phi Island Tour

Phi Phi and the whole area around Phuket (like Krabi & Railay Beach, Khao Lak, Khao Sok National Park, and smaller islands like Koh Phayam ) are seriously amazing spots in Southeast Asia .

With towering karst cliffs and clear turquoise waters, these places are a must-visit on any Thailand itinerary. Aside from Phi Phi Don, you’ll need to join a tour to explore the other destinations.

In case you’re still not sure which to pick:

• For an award-winning classic, join this Adventure Day Trip with Seaview Lunch.
• For a private experience, sign up for this Private Boat Tour.
• To avoid the crowds, book this Sunrise trip.

A small group of 8 people contracted with Thalassa Tours the trip to James Bond and Hong Islands, the experience was very exclusive, it was clear that we had selected a quality provider and that we paid attention to the details so that we could enjoy the experience. Totally recommended, do not miss it!

Álvaro D. SPAIN

I had heard of “Thalasa tour”, but nothing comparable to living it.

There is no price for tailor made tours, it is also people who take care of each guest and fight for you to live an unrepeatable experience!

This is how our Private Tours are

Discover the beauty of the Thai islands 

Our Private   Tours are designed for you to enjoy the most exclusive vacations you can imagine. At Thalassa Tour  we believe that the best we have are our customers and we work hard every day, so you can leave  Thailand  with a big smile for having lived an unforgettable vacation!

The idea of creating  Private Tours  or tours tailored to the demands of our customers has been given over years of experience in the sector. We know that Krabi is one of the most famous areas of Thailand and therefore with more public, so many customers contact us to make customized tours.

The main advantage of a private tour is that the boat is just for you, you do not share it with anyone else and therefore you can discover the islands at your own pace. We want to know your tastes and listen what you want, to recommend you the best places and beaches in the Krabi area, the final decision of where and when you want to make the tour will be totally yours.

During our Private Tours  our guides will recommend you which are the best bathing and snorkel areas, as well as the perfect places to enjoy a romantic Sunset. We have more than 8 years of experience in the sector and our local guides are the best to discover  Ao Nang  and its perfect beaches!

Depending on the itinerary you choose, we will decide which  type of boat  we will use: Long Tail or traditional Thai wooden Boat or a Speedboat. The difference between these two boats is the speed to move and reach the destinations. But do not worry, we’ll tell you all about it in the planning process.

Planning Process

We recommend you to contc us  here so we can get in touch and know what your expectations are. We will ask you some basic questions about how you imagine your trip, and from that point we will get to work to offer you the best Private Boat Tour!

Once the Boat Tour has been developed, we will analyze it together. You will not have to worry about anything since we can even pick you up at your own hotel so you can enjoy the trip like a real sailor…

Remember that our main concern is YOU, so we are going to recommend places that are not too exploited touristically speaking.

Our itineraries are very complete and rare in  Ao Nang  as we offer you the opportunity to discover in a single tour what you would normally do in two days! In just one day, you will visit and explore different main areas of interest in  Krabi .

The activities to perform are as broad as your wishes. Taking into account your safety and that of ours, we will recommend to you wonderful snorkel areas so that you can enjoy the rich underwater life of Krabi. The waters of Krabi are very rich in terms of fauna and in many of our boat trips we have seen turtles and even sharks!

We will stop there where you are interested, either to make a photo or because you want to enjoy a good bath between crystal clear waters. We can also recommend places to admire the best Sunsets in Thailand.

Remember, as we mentioned before, that your safety and fun are our main concerns so while we plan your trip we will also take into account the weather factor. We will recommend the best days to go sailing and spend a day of the most pleasant…

Have a look at the places we recommend below:

Our beaches

In Thalassa Tour we show you the most unknown and wild side of Hong Island. With this Tour you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the most picturesque places of Krabi. We give you the option to personalize your own tour with our three proposals.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
