    Ruined islands

    The Phi Phi islands have been so exploited they are ruined.you pay an environmental tax on arrival then stare at the oil and rubbish floating in the harbour

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your visit to the Phi Phi Islands was disappointing, particularly due to the rubbish and oil you observed floating in the harbour. We understand how upsetting it must be to visit a destination renowned for its natural beauty and encounter environmental conditions that fall short of your expectations, especially after paying an environmental fee. Protecting the natural beauty and marine environment of destinations such as the Phi Phi Islands is extremely important. Your concerns regarding pollution and the overall visitor experience are valuable, and we will share your feedback with the relevant local tour operator for their awareness and review. We truly regret that these conditions affected your enjoyment of the islands and appreciate you raising these important environmental concerns. Best Regards, Paopao oh-hoo Team

    Nice views around the islands

    The longtail boat gave us access to several beautiful spots around Phi Phi. I enjoyed swimming and taking photos between stops. Some places were busy, though it was still a pleasant trip overall.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed swimming and photographing the beautiful spots around Phi Phi. We appreciate your understanding that some stops were busy and are pleased the trip was enjoyable overall. Oh-Hoo

    Don’t forget

    Was not what I expected bad organized the captain charge people the double of amount to enter the island instead you pay by yourself in the island

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize that your tour did not meet your expectations and that you were disappointed with the overall organization of the experience. We are particularly concerned about your comments regarding the island entrance fee and the amount reportedly collected by the captain. We understand how frustrating it can be when additional charges are unclear or appear higher than expected. Transparency regarding fees and additional costs is very important. We will share your concerns with the relevant team to review the fee collection process and ensure that pricing information is communicated clearly to guests. We sincerely regret the inconvenience and disappointment you experienced, and we appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. Best Regards, Paopao oh-hoo Team

    Phi Phi Island Half Day Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ko Phi Phi Don.

    How much does Phi Phi Island Half Day Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat cost?

    +

    Prices start at $24 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ko Phi Phi Don 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 Island Half Day Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Ko Phi Phi Don is not rushed.

    Is Phi Phi Island Half Day Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 43 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ko Phi Phi Don, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Phi Phi Island Half Day Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail 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 Phi Phi Island Half Day Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Phi Phi Island Half Day Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat?

    +

    Around 15 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 Ko Phi Phi Don 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 Ko Phi Phi Don and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Phi Phi Island Half Day Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail 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 Ko Phi Phi Don 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 Ko Phi Phi Don?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ko Phi Phi Don experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Day Trip to James Bond (Canoeing & Kayaking Islands & Lunch), From Phi Phi: Sunrise & Beat The Crowds to Maya Bay by Speedboat, Highlights of Phi Phi Islands. 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 Ko Phi Phi Don?

    +

    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 Ko Phi Phi Don?

    +

    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 Phi Phi Island Half Day Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat?
