Amazing experience in the Phi Phi islands

Sacha_B, Mar 2023

I recently took a boat tour of Koh Phi Phi islands and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The crew was amazing, very friendly and professional. They took great care of us and made sure that we had a wonderful time. The stunning view points we visited were simply breathtaking. We were able to witness the beautiful scenery and landscapes of the islands, which truly took our breath away. We captured some of the most stunning photos and the memories will last us a lifetime. The snorkeling experience was also great. We were able to explore the underwater world and see some amazing marine life. The water was crystal clear and we could see everything so clearly. The crew was very knowledgeable and made sure that we were safe at all times. What stood out the most was the team's caring attitude. They went above and beyond to make sure that everyone was comfortable and having a great time. They were very attentive and made sure that we had everything we needed. Special thanks to Stephane who has been amazingly friendly with us!

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thanks so much Sacha, for this amazing review! We are so happy to meet you and we hope to see you again soon, all the best!

The scenery at Maya Beach...

SamanthaO, Feb 2023

The scenery at Maya Beach was breathtaking and the snorkelling was something else, we even saw sharks! The crew were super friendly and knowledgeable.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thanks so much Samantha! All the best!

Great experience as advertised!

Stefan_S, Feb 2023

Tour was great! Got to visit several very nice snorkeling spots in addition to island locations advertised, lunch was tasty, and guides Him and Tuna were very friendly and helpful throughout, as well as the boat crew.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thanks so much!!

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Many thanks Sula!!!

Great Day Out

Andrew_G, Jan 2023

We were picked up at the meeting point and taken to the speedboat in the harbour. On the boat there was a group of about 15 of us. It took about an hour or so to get to the first stop which was Monkey Beach. The sand here is amazing although the monkeys can be pests! After this we went to the Blue Lagoon which was so vibrant. Everyone had the change to jump off the boat into the water and our guide, Bella, was taking plenty of photos of everyone. After this it was on to Maya Bay which was actually the least impressive of all the stops as it was extremely busy (and we went at a time when it was most quiet) & you sadly can't take a swim. We then went to a secluded beach for lunch which was delicious. A few options of different Thai dishes with varying spice levels. After lunch we stopped off at Bamboo Island which was a great beach, however, it had nothing on the beautiful sands of Monkey Beach. After this it was back to the harbour and then dropped off at our hotel. Our guide, Bella, and the rest of the team were fantastic and we couldn't thank them enough for making this day so memorable.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you for sharing your experience, it was our pleasure! The government of Thailand dont allow the people swim in Maya Beach to protect the coral, since millions of people go there every year. It is the most touristic beach but is a mandatory stop required for all our customers. We are very happy that you liked the tour from the beginning until the end. All the best!

Full day Phi Phi Islands tour w/ lunch

Kyle_L, Jan 2023

Amazing staff/crew on the boat. Tuna (sp?) and Him (sp?) were friendly and looked after everyone. Highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a day trip in this area.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Many thanks Kyle, it was our pleasure!

Perfect daytrip with an experienced crew

Alexey_K, Jan 2023

Great trip to the majestic Phi Phi islands. The boat was comfortable and spacious, special thanks to the guides Tuna and Sexy Man and the captain. Well organised itinerary, we've enjoyed the spots at the best times avoiding the crowds, great lunch at a remote secluded beach and amazing snorkelling locations guided by Tuna. Would definitely recommend!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thanks so much!

Best tour we went on :)

Larsa_J, Dec 2022

Best tour experience we had. Boat was not crammed, our guides were extremely helpful and kind. They went out of their way to avoid crowds on popular destinations. Food was lovely and served on a beach. Nice selection of drinks. Perfect! Do it :)

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thanks so much Larsa!!

Great Day with a bit of everything

Bailey_W, Dec 2022

Our guide was amazing. We felt glamorous hopping from island to island. Great way to get a taste of the major hot spots. The following day you can rent a private long tail boat and return back to your favourite spots. Tuna and George were hilarious and kept the day with great vibes. We would definitely do this tour again! Their knowledge of the area allows you to avoid major crowds by going at off times (when other tours eat lunch etc). They are clearly experts on the area and take you to special hidden beaches at any chance they get.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Hi Balley, thanks so much!!! Thanks for trusting on us, we are happy to know that you had fun with us! Jorge.

More Maya Beach Needed

Susan_L, Nov 2022

Maya Beach is reason enough to take this tour but we spent the least amount of time there and were sorely disappointed by the throngs of obnoxious and drunken visitors all crowding the shoreline. Tourists are not allowed to swim in the water so all you can do is look and take a picture alongside hundreds of others doing the same. The toilets were absolutely filthy. On a positive note, the snorkeling is awesome and being able to swim at Lagoon Beach are two other highlights.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Dear Susan, thanks so much for your review, we are happy that you loved the snorkel at Phi Phi, indeed these islands have a lot of marine and coral life because they are located at the open sea! I think you just replied to yourself in your opinion, about why we dont spend too much time in Maya Beach, form our experience Maya is just one more stop of this beautiful tour, and is our duty to take you to other even more beautiful stops in Phi Phi that are much less known than Maya Bay, where you can experience a more private and exclusive environment. This is we try to sell in our tours, but of course we also need to balance this with the commercial places as Maya and the Lagoon, I appreciate you could enjoy also those places. All the best!!

Beautiful Phi Phi islands

Vernon_C, Nov 2022

Beautiful setting. The lunch was quite good. The snorkeling was excellent. It was very crowded at times, and that was with lower numbers due to Covid

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thanks so much Vernon, indeed Thailand is a touristic destination, this is why we dot have pre designed itineraries, we design them every day depending on the sea conditions and the level of occupancy of the beaches. All the best!

Best Ever

Amber_Z, Nov 2022

Sexy man and the crew were hands down the best from start to finish! We never felt rushed or left behind. We had amazing stops to some of the most beautiful places and the food was delicious. We enjoyed our trip and would book again in a heartbeat!

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thanks so much Amber, we are really happy to have had you on board!!

CHERYL_H, Nov 2022

Fantastic day - guide Stefan very knowledgeable ( excellent)and wanted to share his love of the islands . Excellent staff - Him was very good and his team . Great food on deserted beach , avoided crowds , great snorkelling too . Would do it again

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thanks so much! It was our pleasure!

Must try this in Krabi.

Ankit_K, Oct 2022

It was an excellent trip. The sexy man and Julio were very good guide. We enjoyed every bit of the trip. The food was home cooked Thai meal on sexy man's beach with frisbee games. He personally took us snorkelling on a float for more than 45 min. I didn't know how to swim, so it was an awesome experience for me. I would highly recommend the trip to anyone.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Dear Ankit, thanks so much!! We are extremely happy that even you dont know how to swim you enjoyed the snorkel session, this is our goal! Happy to meet you!!

Great Island Day Tour

Justin_F, Sept 2022

The group size was reasonable, the boat was comfortable and in good shape, the team was professional and engaging, the sites and timing were well thought out, and the lunch was big and tasty. What's not to like? For what it's worth, the snorkeling at Bamboo Island was my favorite (variety of colorful fish close to shore), and avoid making any sudden or fast movements towards the monkeys.

Response from Host, Sept 2022

Thanks so much Justin, our pleasure!

Absolutely amazing...

Argita_X, Aug 2022

Amazing experience with a brilliant guide, Tuna, whom made it even more enjoyable. Would do it all again.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thanks so much Steve!

A great memorable day

Maram_F, July 2022

This was the 2nd trip for me and my sister with this lovely tour group. The whole crew were very helpful, professional, knowledge and entertaining. The snorkeling spots were breath taking, the lunch included was original and delicious Thai food. They also served us fruits on our way back. Water and refreshments were available during the whole trip. Special thanks to the Hem “ the captain and tour guide” and Toona “ although his job was to translate to Spanish customers, he was talking and helping everyone”

Response from Host, July 2022

Thank you very much Dear Maram! We hope to see you soon again! All the best
