Day 2 Phuket

This amazing adventure starts in the early morning as guests set out by Speed Boat to the scenic Phi Phi Islands (Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Le), located about 45 kilometers from Phuket. Sightseeing excursions include Loh Sa Mah and Phi Phi Ley cove as well as Maya Bay, where the 2000 film “The Beach” (starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tilda Swinton) was filmed. A chance to observe the majestic undersea world is also available for guests who enjoy snorkelling. If you are more the exploring type and Phi Phi’s natural beauty is not enough, there is plenty to do on and off the island. Phi Phi Ley is home to the Viking Cave, a large limestone cavern, where ancient rock paintings can be found. Thought to resemble Viking ships – hence the name of the cave – they are predicted to be 3000 to 4000 years old. This is a perfect spot to experience the colours and rhythms of this tropical hideaway.  During low season (May – October). This excursion may not operate due to severe weather conditions.
