★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 1,733 reviews · 4 hours · from $24Our pick

Review of Phi Phi’s $24 half-day longtail tour, with Maya Bay, snorkeling, Monkey Beach, Pileh Lagoon, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“DO NOT TAKE THE SPEEDBOAT! Going was just fine but after a half day, the speedboat was very rough! They over sold tickets so me and my party of 3 had to sit up front with the luggage that they barely tied down. Bags kept falling on top of us has the boat kept speeding through water hitting every wave. The longtail boat experience was great until then. Overall, I would do it again but I would pay the extra money to get my own longtail boat with my group and take the ferry definitely!”

Review of Phi Phi’s 5-hour speedboat tour with Maya Bay, monkey beach, shark snorkeling, sunset, and glowing plankton for $48.

“The tour was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, we had to reschedule the original date twice due to a stomach flu, but the organizer was very accommodating and flexible. 🙏🏽 Everything went smoothly, and the entire crew was super friendly. Due to weather and water conditions, we couldn't go to Pileh Bay, but the snorkeling was an absolute highlight. We didn't see any sharks or turtles, but we did see many other wonderful sea creatures. 🐠We highly recommend this tour!”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 96 reviews · 9 hours · from $40

Review of Phi Phi’s 9-hour longtail snorkeling trip, with lagoons, Maya Bay, sharks, sunset, plankton, costs, and practical tips.

“Pésimo servicio, he sentido que he perdido tiempo y 1 día de mis vacaciones. Nuestros guías eran 2 chicos, el más joven era muy amable pero el otro no, además de que ha faltado el respeto a 1 compañera gritándole porque supuestamente íbamos a Maya Bay lo cual para ingresar ahí nos cobraron 400bths por persona pero no tiene sentido porque Maya Bay ahora mismo está cerrado y no se puede ingresar ni a Maya Bay ni al Parque Nacional por lo tanto querían quedarse con los 400bths y fue lo que pasó. No nos devolvieron nada a ninguna de las 12 personas que íbamos a esa excursión.”

“prom lata świetnosci ma już za sobą...Dlugi rejs i po drodze przez moment można zrobic zdjęcie Maya Bay i zrzucają Cie na wysepce na której poza krewetkami z frytury i changiem nie ma nic ciekawego.Po dwóch godzinach nudy bo na snurkowanie na tej plaży nie ma specjalnie warunków (brak życia w wodzie) kolejny rej 10minut mniejszą łodzią na Phi Phi na godzinkę chyba tylko po to aby kupic pamiątki w pobliskich straganach (z cenami troche ich poj...) i powrot do portu w Phuket.Jesli bardzo sie nudzicie mozna sie wybrac,ale brak spektakularnych efektów i widoków.Dla mnie osobiscie LIPA NA MAXA !”
