Fantastic Day
We had a really great time on the Phi Phi & Bamboo Island tour from start to finish. At the beginning of the tour there was the usual sales pitch to buy water shoes and waterproof phone cases, but there was absolutely no pressure. We simply said no and ignored it, and that was the end of it. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, I think it is important to set the right expectations. You are booking a popular tour with lots of other people, so you are very likely to be on a boat with a large group of tourists. Everyone has different personalities, expectations, and ways of approaching the day, and I think it is best to just accept that going in. Do I feel a little sad about how commercialised and busy some of these beautiful places have become? Absolutely. Would I love to see restrictions on the number of tour operators and visitors? Yes. But that is the reality of these destinations today. That said, I think the way they have managed Maya Bay is excellent. The short walk from the other side of the island to reach the beach has clearly helped protect it. Having visited around 16 years ago, I actually think it looks even more beautiful now. Monkey Beach was the only stop I would not have wanted to visit on foot. Watching people walk around with wild monkeys is not something that appeals to me, so I was perfectly happy seeing them from the boat instead. Bamboo Island, the last stop, might feel a little long if you do not want to snorkel or swim. However, if you do, it is the perfect amount of time. The beach is beautiful, and there is a small shop selling drinks, smoothies, beers, and snacks if you want a refreshment. Lunch in Phi Phi was very good, and we had enough free time for a quick walk around the shops afterwards. The snorkeling stop (I cannot remember its name!) was fantastic, with plenty of fish and crystal-clear water. The scenery throughout the day was absolutely stunning. We decided not to pay extra for the longtail boat experience. For us, it seemed quite expensive, and we are very glad we skipped it. It just was not what we wanted—we preferred having more time to snorkel and enjoy the water. Finally, we were told at the start of the tour that, because it is July, the weather could make the return journey quite choppy. They were right—it was definitely a bouncy ride back! We appreciated that they set expectations from the beginning, and it was all part of the adventure. Overall, this was a really well-organised tour with friendly staff, beautiful locations, and plenty of opportunities to swim and snorkel. If you go with realistic expectations about the crowds, you will have a fantastic day.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! 🌴 We're delighted you had such a great day and appreciated our team's organization, beautiful destinations, and snorkeling stops. We also appreciate you sharing such balanced expectations for future guests. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Thailand soon! 💙

Misleading Sales, Rude Staff and Poor On-Ground Execution
Do not book with Sawanu Travel if you expect a premium experience. They charged us a high price—plus a 3.5% card fee because they couldn't handle cash—and then failed to provide the luxury catamaran we paid for. Due to overbooking, we were downgraded to a smaller boat. As a family with a 3-year-old, we were forced to sit apart in separate rows. The guide was dismissive and rude when we asked for help. They also had a very threatening attitude, telling us they would leave us behind on islands if we were even slightly late. They showed no empathy for the challenges of traveling with a small child. Save your money and book with a company that actually values its customers.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. We truly regret the inconvenience caused regarding the boat arrangement and seating. Due to operational circumstances on the travel date, the boat assignment had to be adjusted, and we understand how disappointing this was, especially while traveling with your family and young child. We are also sorry to hear that you felt uncomfortable with the communication from our staff and guide. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and your comments have been shared with our team for immediate review and improvement. Please kindly understand that our guides may need to remind guests about timing during island stops in order to ensure the tour schedule and safety for all passengers. However, we agree that this should always be communicated politely and professionally. We truly value your feedback, as it helps us improve our services and guest experience moving forward. Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Full Day Tour by Premium Speed-Catamaran: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Full Day Tour by Premium Speed-Catamaran cost?
+
Prices start at $80 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 Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Full Day Tour by Premium Speed-Catamaran 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 Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Full Day Tour by Premium Speed-Catamaran worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 77 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 Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Full Day Tour by Premium Speed-Catamaran?
+
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 Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Full Day Tour by Premium Speed-Catamaran suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Full Day Tour by Premium Speed-Catamaran?
+
Around 27 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 Phi Phi & Bamboo Island Full Day Tour by Premium Speed-Catamaran 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.
