    Overall great trip with...

    Overall great trip with exception of cold food served for lunch at Phi Phi Hotel. Did this trip before Covid and the food served was cold there too. My only complaint really.

    Response from the operator: We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the issue with the food temperature.

    Not a tour

    Not really a tour..you are literally just paying for the ferry ride, van ride, lunch and national park fees. Could do it on your own and save money

    Response from the operator: Hello!!! Ferry + Van + Lunch + National Park Fee = Tour! - I guess !? kind regards

    Could be better

    It was really well coordinated and the staff was competent so I’ll give it that. Otherwise, it was really quite overpriced. The lunch was subpar; limited and only semi tasty. There’s not enough time on the island in my opinion. No actual snacks available on the boat other than animal crackers. Wouldn’t really say that the ‘sightseeing’ in the beginning is worth the large price mark up either. It is what it is but next time I personally would just take the much cheaper solo charter there and back to Koh Phi Phi.

    Response from the operator: Hello ! We’re so grateful that you took the time to share your feedback with us. It’s our pleasure to serve customers like you. Have a wonderful day! Kind Regards, Thailand Tours team

    Excellent and memorable day

    Picked up at hotel on time. Drinks and snacks provided on arrival at harbour. Briefing of the days events and then shown on board. Lovely boat which wasn't over crowded. Crew were great and helpful. Beautiful kayak rides in stunning settings. Back on boat for lovely lunch. Maya Bay was amazing and on route back to harbour we were allowed a really nice swim. Back at the harbour we were taken back to our buses and returned to hotel. To summarise a really fantastic relaxing day in a stunning area of the world. 5 star day

    Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.

    How much does Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat cost?

    +

    Prices start at $74 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 Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat 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 Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 15 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 Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat?

    +

    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 Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat?

    +

    Around 5 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 Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat 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, Phuket Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour Option. 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.

    What is included in Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat?

    +

    Included: Roundtrip transfer in Phuket (Only if booked with transfer); Bottled water; English guide on tour; Light breakfast at the pier; and Lunch. Not included: Any Private Expenses; Towel; Entrance fees; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 1713 listed pickup locations in and around Phuket. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Russian, Thai, Chinese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Exclusive Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island by Speed Boat if the weather is bad?

    +
