    What a brilliant experience

    What a simply fantastic day, Captain Mark, Ana and his crew couldn't have done anything better. The places visited were all breathtaking and my fellow passengers were all amazed by the number of different fish species seen in the various snorkelling spots

    You’re in for a bumpy ride!

    Pick up from our Hotel was promp and we arrived at the port to the welcoming sight of fresh cheese toasties and juice. After being fitted with flippers we set off on the speedboat for the hours journey to the Phi Phi islands. The boat was a little past its best and the layout meant almost everyone sat under cover with very little view as the windows were too high up. This was a shame and we were disappointed not to be able to see much apart from through the open back of the boat. The seats are also too high, which meant your feet are dangling unless you sit forward. I am 1.65 m so not small. Plenty of ice cold drinks, fruit and ice creams were offered during the trip. The crew were excellent and very happy to help with getting on and off the boat, our guide was good fun. The ladder was not very wide and required a certain amount of strength to pull yourself up. Saying that we had a couple in their 70’s and they managed with help. The boat wasn’t crowded and we had plenty of space. The journey was bumpy! Really bumpy, you had to hold on tight, not for the faint hearted or very small children. Coming back was a little smoother but not much. The teenagers in our group loved it. Going early is a big plus and Maya bay although busy was beautiful, you can’t go in the water to protect the sea life. The ‘guards’ were very proactive in blowing their whistle if anyone tried to go beyond ankle deep. The snorkling stops were excellent and we saw a lot of beautiful fish and coral, the water was stunning, crystal clear. We also had a shady ( under the breath taking rock formations) swim which was so relaxing. Plenty of life jackets are available if required. There are a lot of other boats and some of the stops were very busy. Lunch on Don island was a highlight, the food was excellent and plenty of it. Don island is a bit more commercialised and had shops and a hotel. We really enjoyed our trip and the memories will last a lifetime time.

    Response from the operator: Hello Ms Coote, and thank you for spending a day with us on our Phi Phi speedboat tour. I am glad you had a good time, even if it was a bit bouncy. If conditions are too rough we will cancel and reschedule the tour. We do not recommend the Phi Phi speedboat tour to very small children, preganant mothers or people with back problems, because 50km out to see it can at times be rough. For people concerned about rough conditions we offer our big boat tours of Phang Nga Bay. Smooth seas and a smooth ride on the big boat. Glad the teenagers enjoyed their day, and yes the food at the restaurant is very good. we hope you enjoyed Phuket, and maybe we will see you again next time you are here. Happy travels, Mark.

    Just amazing

    Amazing day out from start to finish. Great starting early and beating the crowds. All stops were incredible. Lunch was delicious. Can’t find any fault whatsoever. Don’t hesitate to book.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Carole for joining our Phi Phi early morning tour. And thank you for telling everyone how amazing it was. I am glad you had a good time. I hope we see you aboard again, we have a lot more to show you. Mark and the crew.

    Phi Phi Snorkeling Early Day Trip, Speedboat - Phuket Sail Tours: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Phi Phi Snorkeling Early Day Trip, Speedboat - Phuket Sail Tours cost?

    +

    Prices start at $134 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 Snorkeling Early Day Trip, Speedboat - Phuket Sail Tours take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Snorkeling Early Day Trip, Speedboat - Phuket Sail Tours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 51 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 Snorkeling Early Day Trip, Speedboat - Phuket Sail Tours?

    +

    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 Snorkeling Early Day Trip, Speedboat - Phuket Sail Tours suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Phi Phi Snorkeling Early Day Trip, Speedboat - Phuket Sail Tours?

    +

    Around 18 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Phi Phi Snorkeling Early Day Trip, Speedboat - Phuket Sail Tours 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 Snorkeling Early Day Trip, Speedboat - Phuket Sail Tours?

    +

    Included: Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; Snacks; Lunch; and Use of snorkeling equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +
