Phi Phi 7 Islands Full-Day Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat

Amazing snorkeling but very little communication

It was not experienced as described, we did not have an English speaking guide. There was not enough communication, they at least could have told us how boat time was involved with each segment of the trip, how much time we were spending at each destination and what to expect in terms of whether we were just snorkeling or swimming. We had to ask each time and got a limited, broken English response. But the snorkeling was absolutely amazing and I would do the trip again just for that. Pristine aqua green water and lots of amazing coral and fish.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted the snorkeling, clear water and marine life were highlights. We’re sorry the limited English communication left you having to ask about timings and what to expect at each stop. We appreciate you explaining how clearer guidance would have improved the day.

A Day Trip with Lovely Moments but Some Challenges

We joined this full-day boat trip and overall it was a memorable experience with both positives and a few challenges. What stood out most was the family feel of the trip — I believe it was family-run, and two younger boys came along which felt very wholesome. The tour guide worked hard to keep everyone safe and did his best to manage the group, even stepping in when some passengers were being inconsiderate. Lunch was very simple — just rice with a bottle of water — but it was tasty, and I really appreciated the thoughtful touch of fresh pineapple being cut up and shared with everyone later in the day. The itinerary included several stops, and while some of the places felt quite similar, there were plenty of opportunities for snorkelling with equipment provided. It was a full day out on the water, and when one of us was unwell, they were kind enough to let us rearrange for the next day, which was very accommodating. The main downside, unfortunately, came from a small group of four other passengers whose behaviour created tension throughout the trip. They ignored instructions on the boat, delayed us at Monkey Beach, and one of them refused to wear a life jacket even though he was struggling in the water. The tour guide was right to be concerned for his safety, but it did lead to some heated exchanges that affected the atmosphere for the rest of us. I don’t hold this against the guide, as he was clearly trying to keep everyone safe and follow the rules, but it did make the day feel less relaxing than it could have been. There were a few other things that could be improved. Time at Monkey Beach was quite short, and before we even started we had to wait around an hour in the hot sun on the pavement. We also weren’t able to sit outside the boat, only under the cover, which felt a little restrictive. Lunch, while tasty, didn’t offer any variety. Watching the sunset on the water should have been peaceful, but the moment was slightly spoiled by loud phone games and a phone call. Finally, there was a bit of a language barrier — the guide spoke limited English, so we didn’t get much information about the places we were visiting beyond their names. Overall, this trip had some really lovely moments, especially the snorkelling and small personal touches like the fresh pineapple, and I do think the family put effort into running it. Unfortunately, the behaviour of a few passengers and some practical details meant it wasn’t as smooth or relaxing as we hoped. With a few improvements, it could easily be a fantastic experience.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are glad you enjoyed the snorkeling, fresh pineapple and flexibility to change your day. We are sorry the long wait in the sun, limited explanations and lunch variety, and unsettled atmosphere made the trip less relaxing. Your detailed feedback on comfort, timing and communication is appreciated. Oh-Hoo

Not satisfied

The guide barely spoke English and didn't give us any particular information about the places we saw. Lot of people and turists all doing the same thing.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the guiding service and overall experience did not meet your expectations. We truly appreciate you sharing your thoughts and will review this with our team to improve the quality of our services. Best regards, Oh Hoo Travel
