Our first stop is the hidden Phi Leh lagoon, an inlet of crystal clear water in Phi Phi Leh island, which is locally believed to be an offering from Buddha. Here you can float around in the warm water while enjoying the tranquillity of the surrounding archipelago. You&rsquo;re also welcome to snorkel among thousands of tropical fish, which curiously examine the people who visit their colourful world.

While making your way to Maya Bay, make sure to snack on the fruits and drinks on-board (some beer included!) and splash some sunscreen on your gently sunkissed back. Maya Bay is possibly the most famous beach in Thailand known from Leonardo DiCaprio&rsquo;s &lsquo;The Beach&rsquo;. Dramatic limestone cliffs surround the bay and the Thai long-tail boats cluster around its sandy shoreline. You might be accompanied by a tourist stretching his or her arm and selfie-stick for that all-important Instagram post &ndash; however, don&rsquo;t let the amount of people put you off from enjoying one of the most beautiful spots on earth.

<blockquote>
&ldquo;Maya Bay is above all an exceptional setting: sheer green cliffs above the Andaman Sea, a small white sand beach with a dense encroaching jungle, and reefs adorned with hundreds of multi-coloured fish. This is indisputably one of the finest landscapes in Thailand.&rdquo; &ndash; <a href="http://www.snorkeling-report.com/spot/snorkeling-maya-bay-ko-phi-phi-thailand/">Snorkeling Report</a> 
</blockquote>

We then continue our journey towards the south of Phi Phi Leh, where you can find some of the best snorkelling spots in Thailand. The areas visited include Bida Nok, Bida Noi and Palong. Colourful fish as well as turtles and friendly black tip sharks harmoniously live at the reef here. Your tour concludes by Chicken Island where you can watch the sunset and have a relaxing drink as you take the boat back to Ao Nang.
