Horrible experience. You have been warned.
Transport included rough driving and the driver was rude. The driver intentionally passed up my resort after I pointed it out advance and I had to wait over an hour until everyone one else was dropped off. You do not get off at monkey island and the selected view of the island was only of some rocks which was not have a great scenery. At Maya Bay, it’s overcrowded, there’s no swimming, you get yelled at by PA speaker, and there’s quite a bit of walking to include stairs. The food was served buffet style of groups of 5 and people different have table manners so don’t choose this package if you are a picky eater. Also, if you order additional items during lunch, only one receipt gets delivered to the entire table of 5. Additionally, only Two beers per person throughout the entire tour and there is no sunset alcoholic drinks. In my opinion, the trip does not hold up to the amount being charged.
Response from the operator: We are deeply sorry to hear about your disappointing experience on the Phuket to Phi Phi Island by Speedboat with Sea View Lunch tour. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we take it seriously. We sincerely apologize for the rough driving and the behavior of the driver. Such conduct is not reflective of our standards, and we will address this issue immediately. We regret any inconvenience caused by missing your resort and the subsequent delay. Regarding the itinerary, we understand your frustration with the overcrowding at Maya Bay and the limitations on swimming. We will review our tour stops and communications to ensure a better experience for future guests. We also apologize for any issues encountered during lunch, including the buffet arrangement and the handling of additional items. Your comments will be shared with our team for improvement. We appreciate your honest feedback and regret that we fell short of your expectations. Please accept our sincerest apologies, and we hope to have the opportunity to regain your trust in the future.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Phuket: Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands Day Trip with Buffet Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Phuket: Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands Day Trip with Buffet Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $92 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 Phuket: Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands Day Trip with Buffet Lunch 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 Phuket: Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands Day Trip with Buffet Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 Phuket: Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands Day Trip with Buffet Lunch?
+
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 Phuket: Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands Day Trip with Buffet Lunch 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 Phuket: Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands Day Trip with Buffet Lunch?
+
Around 1 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 Phuket: Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands Day Trip with Buffet Lunch 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.
