Amazing snorkeling...great day

Leantoinette_D, Feb 2023

What a fun day. Arrived on time for pickup at 740 am. It was about an hour's drive from Patong to pier where you are organized into groups at the pier. There were coffee and cake snacks if y needed a quick bite then off on speed boats you go. It takes about an hour to ger to the phi phi islands area. Just note itz a rough ride hitting waves, so not smooth or relaxing. The snorkeling is amazing with soo many different fish and beautiful coral reef. The beach stops had sand like powder. We did a beach stop and then snorkeling stop before heading to lunch which was at this beautiful resort. While at the lunch stop resort, we had access to their pool, showers and beach. There were also bars around if u wanted to purchase alcoholic drinks. Lunch was good and plentiful and the beach and views were beautiful. After lunch headed to another beach/snorkle spot called bamboo island. If u have water shoes. Good place to wear as snorkeling Was pretty shallow and lots of rocks in water area. Snorkling here i didnt care for because too many waves caused by the boats going by. Next was maya bay which was crowded but beautiful. Couldn't swim here. Only pictures. Then we rode by the cave but couldnt get close because water was a little wavy our day but got close enough. Then off to last swim snorkle spot for some of the best snorkeling. Beautiful underwater life. The one time i wish i had an underwater go pro or proper underwater camera. Unfortunately day 1 of my trip my phone hit the ground and wouldnt fully open (z flip) so couldnt put in water bag. Still saw beautiful fish and coral. Soo many variety. Then headed back to phucket which was once again a 1 hour bumpy ride. Everything is well timed. U have enoigh time at each stop and though we didnt hit monkey island/beach becausr of the waves the day we went, was still a great day. Staff works hard and were very nice. Dont forget to tip whatever u can. Last tip: bring a change of dry clothes. When u rerurn to pier, you can change out of wet swim wear so u dont have to ride in van in wet clothes for an hour on way back to hotel.

Mikhail_P, Jan 2023

This tour was an incredible experience that I would highly recommend to anyone. The island's stunning natural beauty was truly breathtaking, with crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches that were simply paradise. Maya Beach, in particular, was a highlight of the trip. The turquoise waters and towering cliffs were picture-perfect and provided the perfect backdrop for memorable photographs. Overall, the tour was a truly unforgettable experience that I would love to repeat in the future. Many thanks to Ray and boat team #8 for such a great experience!

Amantia_X, Dec 2022

If you want to make sure you visit a big part of the main attractions in Phi Phi island then this tour is for you. We loved the tour and the wonderful places we saw and our tour guide Goodies was amazing. For us it was the highlight of our trip in Phuket. As for the photographer we had a super dedicated photographer who took a lot of pictures for us. It felt like we were doing a photoshoot for our honeymoon. I totally recommend it.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Great Tour

Nitty_A, June 2022

Outstanding Tour. Our tour guide, Goodie, was super, no issues, great staff, good buffet, great island stops and additional history provided by Goodie. My only suggestion, it's a long day, I would recommended cutting out one of the open ocean snorkeling stops, right now, there are two, I think one is enough.

My partner and I had a great day with this group. We had Ray (+ the crew) and they were all so friendly! They had plenty of snacks and drinks (even sea sickness pills if necessary). Great value and exceeded both our expectations.

Organized tour with attentive crew!!

Hayley_S, June 2022

Highly recommend this tour! It was extremely well organized and the stops did not feel as crowded as I expected after reading about peoples’ experiences on other tours. The guides were very attentive to everyone’s needs and took care of everyone very well. There were constant snacks and drinks for us. My husband can’t swim but one of the guides literally got in the water with him and guided him on his first snorkeling trip. He was so patient and kind, and we are so grateful he helped my husband have that experience! We are glad we picked such an organized, efficient, and kind crew to take us to the islands!
