Incredible experience
Everything worked super smoothly – we hit all the spots and had enough time to enjoy them. Free water and Pepsi all the way, and a simple lunch with fruit were included too. The guide and staff were super friendly and helpful. We reached Maya Bay at an excellent time and there were no crowds when we entered. Snorkeling and sunset were equally amazing. The speedboat was in perfect condition, and you could really see the staff taking care of everything. Highly recommend this tour!

Trip cancelled, day wasted, unbelievable excuses.
Not trustworthy. Not reliable. Booked afternoon boat trip a day ahead. Turned up at allotted time. Asked to return in 30 minutes. Then told no boats that day due to religious holiday. Later saw exact same boat from their company returning to the pier after trip. Given that religious holidays are entirely predictable the day before this seems to be a deception. Probably just overbooking.. Suggest avoid.

Best Trip in Thailand and CocoLoco best tour guide in Thailand!
By far the best trip in Thailand. We were on the 12pm-7:30pm trip which I highly recommend. We visited many beautiful beaches and islands, and snorkelled in amazing clear waters, spotting all sorts of fish and even black tip reef sharks. Also the swimming with plankton when dark was so amazing. There was also water and soft drinks available on the boat which you could help yourself to, as well as a delicious chicken fried rice for lunch. We were also offered fresh pineapple mid afternoon. The crew on the boat were all very friendly, and happy to help with anything you needed. The trip run so smoothly from start to finish and this was all down to one man… Coco Loco (our tour guide).He created such a good atmosphere on the boat. He was very funny and his communication skills were excellent. He also ensured the safety of everyone at all times. His knowledge and history of the phi phi islands was fantastic, as he told us stories on certain spots we passed, such as Viking cave. CocoLoco really went above and beyond and made sure everyone had the best time. He got everybody involved and made sure EVERYONE seen a reef shark (if they wanted too of course) meaning swimming around locating them for everyone. This was fantastic and shows the lengths he went, to make sure everybody had an unforgettable time. This trip was 5 stars, and a great price too . I definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Koh Phi Phi, it’s by far the best trip me and my girlfriend have done in Thailand. Thank you Coco Loco
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind comment. We very appreciate your feedback!

Best trip in Thailand!
This tour was amazing, the best out of all the trips we’ve done in Thailand so far, and at a fair price too. Our tour guide Coco Loco was amazing, so friendly and funny and really took care of us through the day. He was also very informative, telling us about the places we were visiting. When we went snorkelling in shark bay he made sure that everybody in the tour had seen a shark which was amazing. Thank you to Coco Loco and the team for the best trip!!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind comment. We very appreciate your feedback!

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sunset and Plankton Snorkeling by Speedboat from Phi Phi Don: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ko Phi Phi Don.
How much does Sunset and Plankton Snorkeling by Speedboat from Phi Phi Don cost?
+
Prices start at $75 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 Sunset and Plankton Snorkeling by Speedboat from Phi Phi Don 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 Ko Phi Phi Don is not rushed.
Is Sunset and Plankton Snorkeling by Speedboat from Phi Phi Don worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 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 Sunset and Plankton Snorkeling by Speedboat from Phi Phi Don?
+
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 Sunset and Plankton Snorkeling by Speedboat from Phi Phi Don 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 Sunset and Plankton Snorkeling by Speedboat from Phi Phi Don?
+
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 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sunset and Plankton Snorkeling by Speedboat from Phi Phi Don 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: Half Day Discover Scuba (2 Dives), From Phi Phi: Sunrise & Beat The Crowds to Maya Bay by Speedboat. 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.
