The 07:00 Sunrise Longtail Secret
Day-trip speedboats from Phuket and Krabi take 50–60 minutes to reach Koh Phi Phi Leh, meaning Maya Bay gets busy between 09:30 and 15:00. If you stay overnight on Koh Phi Phi Don (Long Beach or Tonsai) and depart at 06:30 on a private longtail boat (฿2,000–฿2,500 for up to 4 people), you step onto Maya Bay's pier right as rangers open the boardwalk at 07:00.
