Amazing place , out of this world! The moment we got there l thought we are already in heaven . I don’t mind going back
Amazing and very beautiful. This was one of our highlights for the Thailand Phuket holiday in December 2025. I do not know if there is any other place in this world where we can find such excursions. We all loved the place and the activities .
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience and that it felt like paradise from the moment you arrived. It means a lot to us that this tour was one of the highlights of your trip to Phuket, and we’re very happy to know that you enjoyed both the location and the activities. We would love to welcome you back again anytime – it will be our pleasure to have you join us again in the future!

Maya bay
Totally crowded, too many people. Totally tourist exploited. Not a nice experience even if Maya bay is fantastic to see.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. Maya Bay is one of the most popular destinations in Phuket, and during peak periods it can feel very crowded. While the natural beauty of the bay is still remarkable, we understand that the number of visitors may affect overall enjoyment. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts, as feedback like this helps set clearer expectations for future guests. Thank you for visiting with us.

Not what they used to be
The excursion was not nice because unfortunately you go home with the feeling of not having seen anything , not having taken a bath , nothing of nothing , that is beautiful places , friendly and kind boat staff made us feel good but unfortunately the places should be seen well with 25/40/15/1 hour with lunch you do not do anything. It's all income to make even more money beyond the excursion , you'd love anything . A few years ago this was not the case.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. We are glad to hear that you found the locations beautiful and that our boat staff were kind and welcoming. However, we understand your concerns regarding the time spent at each stop. Due to the nature of Phi Phi Island tours and the distance between locations, the schedule is carefully planned to cover multiple highlights within one day. Travel time, safety regulations, and national park rules may limit the amount of time that can be spent at each stop, which can sometimes feel shorter than expected. We also understand your comment about the overall experience feeling different compared to previous years. Phuket and Phi Phi have become increasingly popular destinations, and this can affect the pace and structure of tours. Your feedback is very valuable to us, and we will continue working to improve the balance between sightseeing time and overall experience. Thank you again for your honest review.

Use a more reliable company
Terrible experience would not recommend booking with Viator. Last day in Thailand and was looking forward to James Bond Island. The pick up driver went to the wrong Best Western. I even put the correct address online for pick up. Use a more reliable company.

Amazing but very long day!
A great day seeing so many nice sites. However it was very long and we did not need an hour or over at each destination as a few of them looked the same and we were also passing them on the boat all day. The floating village was nice to see but so uncomfortable to sit and wait for 1.5 hours to be able to go again. I think I would pay extra for a private tour next time so that we can go in our own time. We did really enjoy it, but ended the day really tired from all the waiting around in 99% humidity. This tour should be shortened by 2 hours overall

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
PhiPhi Island small group by Luxury Speedboat (Best Seller): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does PhiPhi Island small group by Luxury Speedboat (Best Seller) cost?
+
Prices start at $2500 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 PhiPhi Island small group by Luxury Speedboat (Best Seller) 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 PhiPhi Island small group by Luxury Speedboat (Best Seller) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 9 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 PhiPhi Island small group by Luxury Speedboat (Best Seller)?
+
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 PhiPhi Island small group by Luxury Speedboat (Best Seller) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book PhiPhi Island small group by Luxury Speedboat (Best Seller)?
+
Around 3 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 PhiPhi Island small group by Luxury Speedboat (Best Seller) 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, Phang Nga Bay Canoeing & James Bond Island Tour from Phuket. 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.
