Received cancellation notice but tour wasn't cancelled so we missed it
Our family were really looking forward to this trip. The day before we were due to go we received a cancellation email for the tour. We contacted them via the app and were told again it was cancelled. There were bad storms expected so we thought that was why. We arranged a local tour to do some of the things on this tour adding an extra expense to us. Then on the day we found out the tour was actually on but we weren't back in time to go on it so we were called a no show and lost our money. Not happy with viator or the tour company about this confusion, us missing the tour we were so excited about and our lost money. Be careful.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly very sorry for the confusion and disappointment caused regarding your tour booking. We completely understand how frustrating this situation must have been, especially after you and your family were looking forward to the experience and had already made alternative arrangements based on the cancellation information you received. We sincerely apologize for the mixed communication and the inconvenience this caused, including the additional expense and missing the tour. Please know that this is not the level of service we aim to provide to our guests. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us review our communication process more carefully to prevent situations like this from happening again. We are very sorry that your experience did not meet expectations, and we hope there may be an opportunity to restore your confidence in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Not worth the money
There was information that drinking water and fruits are included. But no drinking water was provided! Maya beach - tourist trap and that is where we spend most of the time. You are not allowed to swim there and it is crowded. Snorkling is not as expected - bad value for money. And just 30-40 min in total of snorkeling. And one more thing - you are asked to meet in McDonalds. And then they take you to sort of long boats pier and you have to wait 30 min unfer the sun as there are no shades anywhere. I had similar activity 4 years ago and it was totally different experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We apologize that the tour did not meet your expectations, particularly concerning the amenities promised like drinking water and the overall tour setup. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us identify areas where we can improve our services. We are already working to ensure better coordination at the meeting points and more accurate information regarding what to expect at each destination. Your insights are invaluable in helping us enhance our tours and the satisfaction of our customers. Warm regards, Oh-Hoo Team

At best, average
There was nothing particularly wrong with this trip, however it did not impress as much as I thought visiting the islands would. The tour felt very rushed; we were constantly in and out of the boat with little time to relax and enjoy the scenery. We were only given one bottle of water for the entire trip (6 hours) which wasn’t sufficient. Had we known, we would have bought our own but it did say that water would be provided. The tour guides were lovely and friendly but not particularly informative (we learnt little to no information about where we were actually visiting). The longboats were very crammed with about 16 people in each boat. It felt difficult to move around the boat with grace and decorum, let alone be able to see the views. Unfortunately, because the boat was so busy, it meant that lots of passengers had real attitude problems and made the boat an unpleasant place to be. In future, I would definitely pay extra for a private tour of the islands.

Wouldn't book again.
My boat crew was beyond rude to everyone. They were constantly yelling at one another or other boats and guests. We were never able to move fast enough to make them happy and when I asked the lady to clarify the pick up location she shooed me and yelled I don't understand then yelled at another thai lady. Everywhere we stopped was CRAMMED full of people. Not relaxing or enjoyable.
Response from the operator: Dear valued customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and frustration you encountered during your tour. Your feedback regarding the behavior of the boat crew and the overcrowded stops is deeply concerning, and we will address these issues with the tour company immediately to ensure that such incidents are not repeated. Providing a relaxing and enjoyable experience is our utmost priority, and we regret that we fell short of meeting your expectations on this occasion. Please be assured that we are committed to improving our services based on your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to restore your trust and provide you with a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Definitely worth it
Everything went according to the plan. The guide even went an extra mile and swam with the group to show where sharks can be seen while snorkelling. One of the best experiences I had in Thailand!

Phi Phi Islands Sunset 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 Islands Sunset Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat cost?
+
Prices start at $23 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 Islands Sunset Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Islands Sunset Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.1/5 across 14 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 Islands Sunset 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 Islands Sunset Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Phi Phi Islands Sunset Tour From Phi Phi by Longtail Boat?
+
Around 5 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Phi Phi Islands Sunset 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.
