    Amazing tour!

    My wife and I came to Phuket for our honeymoon from the USA and choose to do a private boat rental with scuba diving in the Phi Phi islands They picked us up at our hotel right on time in a spacious van - and brought us to the dock. The staff and team on board were great and helped create a great day based on conditions out including 4 sight seeing spots, lunch, a swimming lagoon and 2 dive sights. The diving was super fun - we did 2 seperate 40 minute dives and saw tons of wildlife/ reefs. Great experience all around - professional - fun - and so beautiful 100% recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Matthew, for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear that you and your wife had such a memorable honeymoon experience with us in Phi Phi. It was a pleasure having you both onboard, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the scuba diving, snorkeling, sightseeing, and time exploring the beautiful islands. We’re especially happy to hear that you enjoyed the two 40-minute dives and got to see so much marine life and reef. Our team always does their best to tailor the day around the sea conditions and what our guests would enjoy most. Thank you again for choosing 5 Star Marine Phuket to be part of your honeymoon. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Phuket in the future! 🌴🌊🤿 Warm regards, The 5 Star Marine Phuket Team

    The best operator to go to Phi Phi Island

    Was the best trip!!! We started the trip early so was able to get to the spots when no one was around. The staff were super thoughtful and accomodating, even making us a cake to celebrate our anniversary!! Would recommend this and can’t wait to come back

    Response from the operator: Thanks for the kind review and recommendation - Shaun

    Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $935 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 Island Private Boat Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Island Private Boat Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 755 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour?

    +

    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 Private Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour?

    +

    Around 264 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour 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 Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; Snacks; and Use of snorkeling equipment. Not included: Lunch; and National Park Fees (400 THB per Adult and 200 THB Per Child). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 948 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 Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Arabic, 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 Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour?

    +

    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 Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour?

    +

    Across 755 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include small groups, value for money, good for families. The group size is repeatedly described as intimate rather than packed.
