Frequently Asked Questions

How long are the Phi Phi Islands tours from Phuket?

Most Phi Phi Islands tours run 8-10 hours total, including hotel pickup from your resort. It takes approximately 1 hour to reach the Phi Phi Islands by speedboat or catamaran, and 1.5 hours by cruise boat. The early bird speedboat tour is shorter, returning by 15:00, while the Phi Phi + James Bond Island combo tour returns by 19:00.

What is included in the Phi Phi Islands tours?

All our Phi Phi Islands tours include life jackets, snorkeling equipment, professional English-speaking guide, lunch, drinking water and accident insurance. National park fees are included on catamaran and early bird speedboat tours. Free hotel transfer from most Phuket areas is included on the Bamboo Island speedboat, catamaran and early bird tours. The catamaran and early bird tours also include a light breakfast. Please check each individual tour page for full inclusions.

What should I bring on the Phi Phi Islands tour?

Bring swimwear (wear it under your clothes), beach towel, reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, waterproof bag or pouch for your phone, change of dry clothes, and a camera. Wear comfortable clothing and water-friendly sandals. Cash is useful for optional drinks, snacks or souvenirs. Catamaran and James Bond combo tours require a passport copy one day prior.

Can I visit Maya Bay in 2026?

Yes. Maya Bay is open for tours from October 1 to July 31. From August 1 to September 30 it is closed for annual environmental restoration to protect the coral reef ecosystem. During the closed period, boats will stop outside the bay entrance for viewing and photography of the limestone cliffs, but guests cannot enter the beach.

Which is better: speedboat, catamaran or cruise boat to Phi Phi Islands?

Speedboats (from ฿1,500) are the fastest option — 1 hour each way — visit the most locations, and suit active travellers who want maximum island time. Cruise boats (from ฿1,250) are the most relaxed option with the most space, suitable for seniors, pregnant women and young children, but visit fewer locations and take 1.5 hours each way. The Sawanu catamaran (from ฿2,400) offers the best combination: speed (1 hour), stability, premium amenities (WiFi, breakfast, sun loungers), and a smaller group of max 65 passengers. For families with children, the catamaran or cruise boat are strongly recommended over speedboats.

Are the Phi Phi Islands tours suitable for children and elderly?

Cruise boat tours are suitable for everyone, including elderly guests, young children and pregnant women, thanks to easier boarding and a calmer ride. Speedboat tours do not accept children under 1 year old, guests over 70 years old or pregnant women — the ride can be bumpy and requires climbing ladders, so moderate fitness is recommended. Catamaran tours do not accept children under 6 months old or pregnant women, but are otherwise very family-friendly due to the stable twin-hull design.

What is the cancellation policy?

We offer free cancellation before 15:00 the day before your scheduled tour. Bookings for next-day tours close at 20:00. Cancellations can be made by contacting us via email. Refunds are processed within a few business days.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Only the tour operator can cancel a tour before it starts due to weather conditions. The weather in Phuket often changes rapidly — it can look very bad one moment and turn to perfect sunshine shortly after. Tours are never cancelled due to rain, only due to waves that are too high for safety reasons. If your tour is cancelled by the operator, you will receive a full refund or can reschedule to another date. If you choose not to go on a tour because of the weather, the tour will be considered a no-show with no refund.

Do I need to be able to swim to join a Phi Phi Islands tour?

Basic swimming ability is recommended but not strictly required — life jackets are provided on all tours and you can choose to stay on the boat or beach at each stop. However, to fully enjoy snorkeling at Maya Bay, Pileh Cove and the coral reefs, being comfortable in the water makes a significant difference. Non-swimmers can still enjoy the scenery, beach stops and sightseeing portions of all tours.
