I took this tour with my family. We enjoyed so much, the guides were so good and they took care of us in details, we feel safe playing in the water because of them. I would definitely recommend this group and would travel with this group again..
A great day seeing beautiful islands
Naomi A, 24-09-2022
A very enjoyable day. One engine stopped working so they slightly adjusted the itinerary but we still got to do everything, just in a different order. The islands are beautiful and the snorkelling was great for seeing some sea life! The boat was rough though on the way back, so take advantage of the free seasickness tablets they have on offer. Also there was free breakfast when we arrived which was a nice surprise. They do try and sell you things before you get on the boat but fair enough, it is a business they’re trying to run
Book this experience!

This was an amazing experience!! One of the best activities I’ve done here in Thailand even though it was a cloudy day the views were absolutely breathtaking. The boat staff was wonderful, very helpful and had great energy. The tour guide JayZ was awesome and had a great sense of humor. Overall 11/10 experience, highly recommend!
Other world experiences in Phuket with excellent, personable tour guides.

This was a really fun all day experience, and was thoroughly worth it.
They delivered all experiences perfectly despite it being in the middle of the rainy season, and it was truly out of this world. The speed boat was great fun to ride too with great music sense!
To be honest, I think you could probably experience most of the same things on other tours, but what made it special were the people involved.
We had the pleasure of being briefed by (Thai) Bob Marley who was absolutely hilarious, and even better our tour guide was Jayzie (or as Bob called him, Jessie). Solid guy, amazing sense of humour and an excellent tour guide who left nothing out for the entire trip. They were both brilliant despite a tough crowd who may have had a small amount of English speakers, but the humor was not lost on us! You'll be lucky if you get a tour headed by either of them, but if you don't I assume that this company still has other excellent guides just like them. This trip is a bargain and I and my girlfriend highly recommend it.
Long tail boat trips around the islands are the reason you go to Phi Phi. So just get with the program.

We just walked up to the boat launch area at the beach at about midday and talked to someone random (they are tour guide signs up everywhere so everyone is an agent) for a boat trip. We agreed what we wanted, about 3 hours and we wanted to do the main islands. B1800 for the 2 of us. The single crewman was friendly and informative he's about as well equipped and we were very happy.
Landing on beaches, cruising among the islands, going to all the important spots and even stopping for snorkeling.
The feeding of tourists to Maya bay comes from the big 40-seater speed boats and then the private family long tails. The boardwalks going through the tropical forest and down to my bay area, are reasonably well managed with the In-and-Out boardwalk. You will be okay.
Advantage of coming in on a smaller private long tail is there might be only four six of you in the long tail you're more flexible as to where and when you go and when you are boarding after the walk around the bay and through the boardwalks it's just quicker and easier for you to get away from The landing pier. The time you on the beach if you're in a long tail, it's up to you, because you and your family will run around the beach and do the required thousand photographs, 'IG is hungry'. When you back onto the boarding area you just wave and your long tail will come and fit in, pick you up . The 40-seater mass transport they trying to herd wild cats. So you just slip in and out between them.
While we are at it the snorkeling on that trip is spectacular. The water is so salty that floating is easy you just lie there. The water is so warm you just want to stay in it. Dump small pieces of pineapple and next thing you've got an aquarium around you with 5 or 10 different species at arm's length, colorful and beautiful. Dive down to two meters and there's all sorts of possibilities with at least 2 to 3 m visibility
I personally don't think you can go to Koh Phi Phi island without doing one of these extensive boat trips. The party on the island, the quality of the food and the shops, they just launch platform for the boat trips..
Highly recommended

Fantastic tour

Maya bay is the most beautiful beach. You cannot swim here but you can walk along the shore break. The rest of the stops were also great but Maya Bay will be the memory you will take away. Boat crew and the guide were awesome and you will definitely have a great day. Pity the driver of the van who picked us up to go to the boat was rude bad start to the day but definitely got better.
Amazing tour with JJ & Team
Wander39192980736, 11-01-2023
Maya Bay is a short part of the tour, due to being unable to swim, but you can get plenty of pictures taken! Took afew of ourselves, and JJ even helped to take photos for us!
Snorkelling was the best part, you can pay 300THB for the long tail boat to get extra snorkelling time in, and if you’re lucky, you’re able to see small sharks (not dangerous as they’ll say in the tour) like we did. (Even without paying, some people on the boat managed to see the small sharks as well)
Monkey Island was fine, managed to see monkeys around and one was holding a canned drink.
Khai Island was great too, with relaxing vibes and end the tour with!
Overall a great experience, with amazing help and explanations from JJ. The captain and crew of the boat were great too, making sure we reached each point of the tour safely and helped us disembark from the boat anytime there was a need to.
Thanks JJ & Team!
Funny crew
827starlas, 07-01-2023
We had so much. Its like sightseeing and snorkeling tour. We had sightseeing in some spots and some snorkeling activity. Crew was funny. They made our day
Nice experience with fair price, if you secure the right spot in the boat.
A6811TWlucan, 20-09-2022
Overall we had a very nice experience for a more than fair price. However, it must be noted that there are 20-25 other people with you on the boat, which makes the trip a little less private than we expected. Fortunately, our 6 people group got the chance to sit in the front at the bow, where exactly 6 people are allowed. This made the whole experience so much better. The rest of the people in the boat had to sit in the back and could barely see outside when the boat was moving. To put it in a nutshell: When you're able to secure the space in the front, it's definitely a wonderful trip for a fair price, but if you end up in the back, it's rather a 3 star trip and definitely not "away-crowd".
Phi Phi islands trip
nirmalnpr, 08-01-2023
The trip was well organized. They picked us from hotel, briefed us before starting and gave anti sea sickness pill also. Visited all places as planned. Overall good trip.
Overcrowded boat
Nia C, 07-01-2023
This was not a small group. We were packed onto a boat with up to 30 people. Seating at the front of the boat had no shade, which led to seating disagreements later in the day as people moved into the shaded area at the back of the boat.
Maya beach overcrowded but worth a look.
Snorkelling was decent, saw plenty of fish.
Good buffet lunch albeit busy stop with lots of other boat tours.
Khai island was crowded with overpriced cocktails.
Very crowded conditions for snorkeling, paid extra for the long boat to get away from crowds but they didn’t go very far
Lynn G, 07-01-2023
This was not a small group experience as advertised. There were about 50 in the group. Guide didn’t explain things very well. Thought it came with all snorkeling gear, but they just gave us goggles with option to rent fins. They also scared us into buying beach socks for the coral, but there was no need. Spent and extra $1000B
