So Disappointed!
Not what I expected at all. The boat was full. 36 people. Only 4 allowed to sit in front area and the same 4 hogged it the whole trip. Windows coloured and seating low so could not see anything until you arrived at your destination. Loads of other boats doing same route so you same with at least 150 other people. Talk about scaring the fish!! Maya Beach was beautiful after the frog march onto and off the island and the guard on the beach blowing his whistle and yelling through megaphone to keep out of the water. As for the final island that we stopped at for fruit etc. DREADFUL. Dirty, rubbish everywhere, small polluted by boat oil area to swim in. Neglected cats everywhere. To say I hated the trip is an understatement. The only good part, Dino and his staff. Very helpful and friendly. Would I recommend, sorry NO.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations, and we sincerely regret the aspects of the trip that caused disappointment. Your comments are very important to us and will be shared with our team and partners so we can review these points and work toward improvements. We do appreciate you highlighting the positive service provided by Dino and our staff, and we are glad their friendliness and support made some difference during your trip. We apologize that this tour was not enjoyable for you and thank you for your honest feedback, which helps us improve for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide an even more enjoyable experience. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Total Chaos!!
If I could give this experience zero stars, I would. The photos on the website are vastly different from reality. We were switched to a different tour than the one we signed up for and packed onto a boat with 30 other people. We were told the it was “an upgrade” but I think they miscalculated the number of passengers on the trip we signed up for so they stuck us on a trip with a larger group. Every site was packed with tour boats and if you wanted to get closer to see the sites, you had to pay an additional 400 Bhat per person to get on a Longboat to take you. (If you opted not to take the Longboat, you sat on the Speedboat for 45 minutes while the longboat passengers went through the narrow passage to see the sites.) The boat congestion was worse than New York City rush hour. There is no visibility from inside the “speedboat”. The windows were high enough to prevent any viewing of the scenery but they did allow us to be drenched by ocean spray on the way out and back. One tour operator spoke Spanish and one had very broken English. At our last stop, there were 3-4 foot waves. Our boat collided with another boat as we anchored. We were told we could swim if we wore life jackets. As a life long boater, I can say that the conditions were too rough and dangerous and that island should have been skipped. We did not see any monkeys on Monkey Island and we were told that they “must be on the other side of the island today.” And for the finale-when we were picked up in a van in the morning at our hotel, we had a 25 minute boat ride to the marine. However, on our return, we were driven around Phuket for two hours before finally threatening to leave the van to find a taxi to make our way home. I have used Viatour for years and have never had a bad experience but yesterday was AWFUL!!! So disorganized and disappointing.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the many issues you encountered. We take your concerns very seriously. Safety, accurate information, and guest satisfaction are our top priorities, and it’s clear that these were compromised during your trip. We will review the issues you raised with our operations team, including boat congestion, tour communication, language support, and overall scheduling, to prevent similar experiences in the future. If you are willing, please contact us directly with your booking details so we can follow up personally and address your concerns. Your feedback is invaluable to helping us improve, and we are truly sorry that this tour did not reflect the high standards you have come to expect. We appreciate your honesty and hope to have the chance to restore your trust in our service in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Enjoyable
The tour was very enjoyable and the team was very helpful. We loved visiting all the amazing places. Beautiful scenery, swimming and snorkeling in the lagoons. Please note that the rainy season is from May to end October and the speedboat crossing was fine going but very rough on the way back. So much so 75% of the people were sick and we had to leave the last stop out. The waves were bigger than the boat. Not for the faint hearted.
Response from the operator: Dear AzureTravel100, Thank you for your insightful review. We're thrilled that you enjoyed the beauty of the Phi Phi Islands and found our team helpful. Your note about the rainy season will guide future guests. We apologize for the rough sea conditions on the return trip and hope it didn't mar your overall experience. Your safety and comfort are our priorities. We hope to welcome you back on calmer seas! Best Regards,

Good trip
Well organised and good value for the money. Nice guide, speaks English very well. The last part of the trip, the small island where it’s very hot and you can’t swim, pure waste of time and energy. If you skip that part then you can avoid traffic as well.

Phi Phi Islands One Day Tour by Speedboat From Phuket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Phi Phi Islands One Day Tour by Speedboat From Phuket cost?
+
Prices start at $67 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 Islands One Day Tour by Speedboat 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 Phi Phi Islands One Day Tour by Speedboat From Phuket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 17 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 Islands One Day Tour by Speedboat 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 Phi Phi Islands One Day Tour by Speedboat 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 Phi Phi Islands One Day Tour by Speedboat From Phuket?
+
Around 6 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 Islands One Day Tour by Speedboat 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.
