Enjoyable Tour of the Islands with some great photo Opportunities
Very enjoyable tour of the islands, with options to get on a small long boat and explore the coves of Phi Phi islands. Snorkeling was fair. Not many fish. Guide was friendly and enthusiastic. The only drawback was the constant impact on the speed boat due to the constant collisions with the choppy ocean waters. By the end of the tour, I had a headache and muscle ache from the jarring movements. Slightly less if you're sitting inside the boat rather than at the bow of the boat, as I was most of the time.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed exploring the islands and your guide’s enthusiasm, but we’re sorry the rough ride left you with a headache and muscle aches. We also appreciate your comments on the snorkeling and hope you felt better soon afterward. Oh-Hoo

Good value trip
Good experience. A bit too many people on the boat (not enough seats), but overall it was good value.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the trip and found it good value, but we’re sorry about the crowding and lack of seats you described. Having a comfortable place to sit matters, and we appreciate you bringing this concern to our attention. Oh-Hoo

Maya Bay, Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Premium Trip by Seastar From Phuket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Maya Bay, Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Premium Trip by Seastar From Phuket cost?
+
Prices start at ฿2,300 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 Maya Bay, Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Premium Trip by Seastar From Phuket take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Maya Bay, Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Premium Trip by Seastar From Phuket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 176 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 Maya Bay, Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Premium Trip by Seastar 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 Maya Bay, Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Premium Trip by Seastar From Phuket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Maya Bay, Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Premium Trip by Seastar From Phuket?
+
Around 62 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Maya Bay, Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Premium Trip by Seastar 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, 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.
