Price From $105.69 per person
Lowest Price Guarantee
Our planned itinerary allows us to sleep overnight in Maya Bay. We now have access to the beach in Maya Bay after being closed for 2 years. As we arrive in the bay in the afternoon you will most likely be the last people on the beach for that day. To see the bay without any boats moored and not a single person or footprint in the sand is truly a sight to behold 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 lifetime.

Worth the price and the trip. The drinks flow and the Thai food cooked on site is delicious . The crew gives a real family feel. The tour guides are great. Overnight was amazing. If the plankton is out - omg so cool. Don’t forget the snorkeling, kayaking and jumping (😜)

The experience was incredible. The best day in our 2 months in Thailand. Spending the night in the ocean in the island with no one else, was one of the best experiences of my life. Our guides Wit from Thailand and Kapil from India were the best, always looking for us to feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. They were really kind and friendly with us. We are very grateful.

This was by far the best experience of our phi phi island trip. The value and experience was unbeatable. The guides were awesome, and the fact that this is the only tour that allows you to sleepover in maya bay is really cool. Nothing like waking up on site and no crowds. Would 10000% reccomend.

The trip was as expected having read previous reviews. The staff looked after us and sleeping under the stars was an unforgettable experience, likewise swimming with the plankton. The only reason why I haven't given 5 stars was because there was a large tour group that joined us for most of the day and due to their size, they set the tone/atmosphere for the entire day. They left the boat in the evening which we were thankful for. They were backpackers (ranging 19-23yo), even myself (36yo) that loves to party felt out of place with what I can only stereotype as Swifties. This wouldn't have been an issue if we knew to expect them on the tour, which is why I'm mentioning it in my review, as we spoke to a member of staff who told us they had recently collaborated with another tour company and this clientele was pretty standard.

We had an amazing time on the Sleepaboard tour! The staff were brilliant (especially Jumbo) and made us feel right at home. Getting to swim and jump off the boat was so much fun, and going to see the crabs, bioluminescent plankton and monkeys was a really special experience. The night on the boat was great too - I didn't sleep much but having fun and getting to know the other people was brilliant! If you're stuck between doing just the day trip and staying overnight, DO THE OVERNIGHT! It was my favourite bit (and you'll get some time without all the chaos of the day trippers!)

This was the most magical adventure on my trip to Thailand. The staff was so fun and happy, they made me feel like family. Traveling on this boat to see and sleep in Maya Bay was a dream. To see the sun set and rise while on the boat was amazing. Jumping off the boat and swimming at night was a hoot! Plus we kayaked around with no crowds around. The food was delicious, the drinks were a generous value. We all laughed and played drinking card games before heading to bed under the stars. Sherrie and Bennie were hilarious and completely made sure we were all taken care of and then our adorable cook joined in the fun. Great night!!! Our second visit to Maya Bay in the morning without the huge crowds was fantastic. Dream come true for sure. Thank you Maya Bay Sleepover for making a memory of a lifetime!!

I recommend this cruise for its exclusive way to visit Maya Bay We were the last to arrive on the beach with a few other groups, but the most impressive is after this, the boat on which we sleep comes to moor in the bay and allows to benefit from a magnificent sunset in this incredible landscape. During my excursion there was luminescent plankton in small quantities but it was very nice to experience.

My friend and I booked this tour on the morning of departure, and we couldn’t be happier that we did. It was truly the highlight of our trip! From start to finish, the staff were incredible—so friendly, attentive, and fun. They went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and included. The activities were amazing: kayaking, snorkeling, swimming with the glowing plankton, hunting for chicken crabs at night, and playing games with our new friends. Sleeping on the top deck under the stars was magical—it’s an experience you can’t miss. We met so many wonderful people and made friendships that will last well beyond this trip. If you’re visiting Phi Phi Island, this overnight boat tour is an absolute must-do. It’s the best way to experience the beauty of Maya Bay!

Don't go if you want to snorkel. THIS NOT A SNORKEL TRIP! There was no time for that and wrong instructions were given on where to go. The trip could have been better organized. According to the ad, there should have been more snorkeling spots and more time in them, this was not the case. Maya Beach was visited two different times. Lots of people there on both times. You can't go swimming there. One visit would have been enough. Should have had much more time at Monkey Beach. There was little food, chicken and rice. We saw the planktons, it was fun. After that we also saw a sea snake from the ship! Sleeping under the stars was amazing. You can see monkeys at Monkey Beach in the mornings and when we went there, there were no other tourists.
