Maya Bay Sunset and Plankton Swimming Tour
Overview
Our planned itinerary allows us to snorkel with the Plankton in Maya Bay. We now have access to the beach from the rear entry.
To see the bay without any boats moored and not a single person or footprint in the sand is truly a sight to behold
As we arrive in the bay in the afternoon you will most likely be the last people on the beach for that day.
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.
Wherever we end up we promise you will have the experience of a life time.

Spent yesterday aboard Maya Bay Sunset and Plankton tour with my teenage daughter. The experience was unforgettable. Despite the varying ages and languages, we were all made to feel welcome by the excellent staff. You could as much (or as little) as you wished. We snorkeled, swam and kayaked before being served up some great Thai food. Highlights would definitely be watching the “nemos” and other tropical fish when snorkeling and swimming with the plankton after dark. I would highly recommend this tour for those who want to see this beautiful place from a unique perspective.Sara M

This was the highlight of our trip to Phi Phi! Initially we were worried the experience wouldn't be the same with the beach now closed to tourists, but to my great surprise it was even better!! You can now see the beautiful white sand beach without crowds of tourists and loud ugly boats blocking the view. Swimming with plankton was something I'll never forget and my bf also hasn't stopped talking about it since we came back. I chose this company because they stay at maya bay longer than any other boat tour, so once all other boats leave, you have the place to yourself. But what made me most happy about my choice was the friendly staff. Such awesome people and I even saw them in town again before we left. Also met the owner on the boat and he was so chill. Definitely go with these guys!Dalia0987

Poder desfrutar de Maya Bay durante toda a noite e na manhã do dia seguinte é sem dúvidas um passeio altamente recomendável. Contemplar a beleza do pôr do sol no meio do mar, mergulhar de noite para a incrível experiência de ver os plactôns, confraternizar ao redor de uma fogueira numa prainha ao redor de Maya Bay não tem preço. Dormir na parte superior do barco apreciando o céu cheio de estrelas é um sonho. Fazer tudo isso na companhia de uma equipe super prestativa, hospitaleira, atenciosa e maravilhosa é gratificante. Uma verdadeira família. Foi o melhor passeio de todos os tempos. Gratidão é a palavra que melhor descreve meu sentimento.Nellie1234567

We arrived and got a little boat from the pier to take us on a big boat. The boat itself was okay, it was very clean and was very big. You could help yourself to sprite, cola and water. We started off by kayaking and snorkelling around some of the lagoons (I’m not sure if there names). There was only 2 couples of our trip because apparently not many people are coming since the beach had closed. But this didn’t affect it in anyway. If anything the trip was more personalised. Back to the kayaking, we was allowed to go off by ourselves in our own little kayak and enjoy ourselves. It was fun, and nice to have a little bit of time to yourself. It was lovely. My boyfriend really enjoyed the snorkelling. Back to the boat, we went to Maya Bay to watch the sunset. We didn’t get off the boat but this didn’t affect it. It was absolutely beautiful to watch. And take lots of photos. Amazing!! After the sunset, we had some food and it was amazing. We went back for more! After tea, when it was dark we watched the crew catch squids. It was funny to watch. My boyfriend got involved and he caught his first one. He loved it. A guy that loves fishing caught his first squid, first time aswell. Think of how proud he felt. I tried but caught more people than I did squid. Everyone got involved, even the other couple on the boat and it was fun to watch and take part in. We all then got our life jackets on (wearing them like nappies) which was a lot better and got in the sea to look at the planktons. Just think pitch black getting into an ocean and you couldn’t have a light on. It was nerve wracking but as soon as you got your snorkel on and looked under the water. It was absolutely amazing. It was like glowing little fireflies under water as soon as you started kicking your legs. This was one of my favourite experiences of my whole 3 week holiday. It was just amazing!! I could do this again and again! After this. We got dried and changed and had a bucket of rum (complimentary for everyone). We played some drinking games and it was nice for everyone to get involved. We also had some more delicious food, including the squids we caught. We later went on a little walk around the beach. It was nice. We then came back to the boat, the other couple got their mattresses and went to sleep. Me and my boyfriend went to catch more squids. And watch the stars. When we finally went to bed, we got our mattress, sleeping bag and pillow and just watched the stars. They say you don’t really have a decent sleep but everything else makes up for it. Well I had a fab sleep, I can sleep through anything. And the best part was waking up to a beautiful sunrise. We had some breakfast and coffee/ juice. The food throughout the whole trip was proper homely cooked. It was nice. I really enjoyed it and so did my boyfriend. Before we went back to the Pier, we went to monkey beach and did some more snorkelling. We only seen one monkey at the beach but some gorgeous fish when we went snorkelling. And then we went back to the pier. This experience was once in a lifetime. It was amazing. All the crew on the boat was so nice, kind and a right laugh. Me and my boyfriend both enjoyed ourselves. It wasn’t like a party boat, it was lovely. It’s personalised! I’d definitely recommend this trip over and over again.Patricia P

I went on the Sleepover tour with Krabi Connect, and this was wonderful. It isn't a booze-fuelled Euro-trance experience like some other companies. What it offers instead is the opportunity to make friends with your fellow travellers, as you explore the beauty of the Phi Phi. There were no cockroaches, big or small. None at all. Both bathrooms were spotlessly clean. The meals are basic. If you want a good meal, eat at a restaurant on Tonsai. Swimming with plankton was magical, as were the sunset and sunrise. The kayaking and snorkelling was good, with the masks washed and sanitised, and very well maintained. The mattresses were gym mats, good enough for comfort, but these aren't hotel beds. What you get is the opportunity to lie down and look at the stars -- the entire sky is filled with stars! I would definitely go with them again. Thank you Jumbo and gang!
