Krabi Island Hopping Adventure – Maya Bay & Phi Phi with the Boon Family. Krabi island hopping is one of the most unforgettable travel experiences in Thailand, and this adventure with the Boon Family proves exactly why. Set against dramatic limestone cliffs, turquoise-blue seas, and pearl-white beaches. This journey explores some of the most iconic destinations in southern Thailand, including Maya Bay and the world-famous Phi Phi Islands.
This Krabi island hopping adventure follows the Boon Family and their three energetic Boon Boys as they explore Thailand by speedboat, island by island. From the moment the engines start, the adventure is filled with excitement, laughter, and nonstop movement. Island hopping in Krabi is not just about stunning scenery — it’s about the experience, especially when traveling as a family.
The Famous Maya Bay from the Movie “The Beach” with Leonardo DiCaprio
The journey begins just before storm season in Thailand, a time when Krabi’s islands are quieter and less crowded. This timing allows for rare, peaceful moments at destinations that are usually packed with tourists. One highlight of the trip is Maya Bay, a protected natural wonder that was closed for several years to allow its coral reef to recover. Now reopened, Maya Bay offers visitors crystal-clear water, dramatic cliffs, and a jungle trail that leads to one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
Walking through the jungle toward Maya Bay feels like stepping into a movie scene — and for good reason. The bay became globally famous after appearing in The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Experiencing this location firsthand, especially with children, adds an entirely new dimension to the experience. The Boon Boys turn every moment into an exploration, from spotting wildlife to racing along the sand.
Phi Phi Islands: a breathtaking Journey
After Maya Bay, the adventure continues to the Phi Phi Islands, another highlight of Krabi’s island-hopping. These islands are known for towering limestone formations, turquoise lagoons, and vibrant marine life. Phi Phi remains one of the most breathtaking island groups in Southeast Asia. Traveling by speedboat allows the family to access hidden swimming spots and quiet beaches, creating a more personal and authentic travel experience.
Island hopping in Thailand is often associated with luxury and relaxation, but this journey shows the reality of family travel in Krabi. From sibling rivalry on the boat to spontaneous swimming competitions and endless curiosity, the Boon Family experience reflects what it’s really like to travel with kids. It’s energetic, unpredictable, and unforgettable.
Visiting Krabi in October offers a unique perspective on the region. The water remains warm and inviting, the landscapes are lush and green, and popular destinations like Maya Bay and Phi Phi Island feel surprisingly calm. This makes it an ideal time for families looking to enjoy Thailand’s natural beauty without overwhelming crowds.
Boon Boys love Island Hopping.
This Krabi island-hopping adventure is more than a travel story. It’s a reminder of the importance of spending time together. The Boon Bunch is exploring the world as a family, and creating memories that last well beyond the trip itself. Speedboats, island beaches, turquoise seas, and shared laughter define this journey through one of Thailand’s most beautiful regions.
This is for if you are planning your own Krabi island-hopping tour. If you are seeking inspiration for family travel in Thailand. Or if you are dreaming of tropical beaches and island life. This adventure with the Boon Family captures the true spirit of Krabi, Maya Bay, and the Phi Phi Islands.
Be happy, healthy. And good.
