Great experience
Great experience unfortunately the weather was not favourable on the day and the speed boat had water seeping in from the roof area. Otherwise it was a fabulous trip the tour guide and all those who were involved with helping did an awesome job amidst the difficult weather conditions. Don’t take a speed boat if you are over 65 take the ferry instead.
Response from the operator: Greetings from V. Marine Tour, Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear you still had a fabulous trip despite the challenging weather conditions. Our crew always puts guest safety first, and we’re glad our tour guide and team were able to make the experience enjoyable. We appreciate your comments about the speedboat during rough seas, and we’ll continue working to improve guest comfort. We hope to welcome you back on a calmer day for an even better experience. Safe travels!

Must do while in Phuket!
What a great experience! If you’re looking for the views of Phuket that you’ve seen online or in pictures, this is where you find it. It takes about an hour by speed boat to get out there and back, but it’s worth it. Out trip to Phuket would have been incomplete without this
Response from the operator: Greetings from V. Marine Tour, Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that your trip with us was one of the highlights of your visit to Phuket. It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed the breathtaking scenery and found the journey well worth it. Your kind words mean a great deal to our team. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another memorable adventure in the future.

Excellent tour!
Excellent tour! Well planned, exactly the right amount of time at each stop. The staff is so friendly. They thought of everything, just when you think you’re a little bit hungry out comes a snack. The only downside is that the boat ride there and back is about an hour and on our trip the waters were very choppy so if you’re prone to sickness this is something to bear in mind. Once we were actually at PP Island and used the boat to get between the islands each boat ride was only about five minutes and so that was not a big deal. It’s one of the most well planned and well thought out tours I’ve ever done and we really feel like we got good value for money.
Response from the operator: Greetings from V. Marine Tour, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and felt everything was well planned from start to finish. Our crew always tries to make sure guests are comfortable, well cared for, and never hungry 😊 We also appreciate you mentioning the sea conditions. During some days the journey between Phuket and Phi Phi can be choppy, and your advice is very helpful for future guests who may be prone to seasickness. It means a lot to hear that you felt the trip was good value for money and one of the best planned tours you’ve experienced. Thank you again for choosing V. Marine Tour — we hope to welcome you back again in the future! 🌴🚤

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Best of Phi Phi Islands Snorkeling Tour from Phuket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Best of Phi Phi Islands Snorkeling Tour from Phuket cost?
+
Prices start at $1900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Best of Phi Phi Islands Snorkeling Tour from Phuket take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.
Is Best of Phi Phi Islands Snorkeling Tour from Phuket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 337 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Best of Phi Phi Islands Snorkeling Tour from Phuket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Best of Phi Phi Islands Snorkeling Tour from Phuket suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Best of Phi Phi Islands Snorkeling Tour from Phuket?
+
Around 118 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best of Phi Phi Islands Snorkeling Tour from Phuket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phuket?
+
On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phang Nga Bay Canoeing & James Bond Island Tour from Phuket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phuket?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phuket?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
