    Private Tour
    Private Tour

    Yes, It's Private!

    Your Boat, Your Group, Your Way
    100% PRIVATE

    This is a completely private tour—just you and your chosen guests.

    Tour Guide and Crew

    Tour Guide and Crew

    All tours by Five Star Thailand are led by our expert local guides.
    Does this tour have Snorkeling?

    Does this tour have Snorkeling?

    All our Phi Phi Island Tours include snorkeling. Snorkeling gear is provided, but do not provide fins to support protection to the coral. Tour routes are flexible, so guests can choose how many snorkeling spots to visit and how much time to spend snorkeling.
    Does this tour have Kayaking?

    Does this tour have Kayaking?

    This tour does not include kayaking. We recommend considering our Phang-Nga Bay Tour (James Bond Island) which does include Kayaking.
    Bathroom Facilities

    Bathroom Facilities

    Longtail boats do not have bathrooms on board, however bathrooms are available during the tour at Maya Bay, at the restaurant during lunch and at most harbours before we start the tour.
    Is There a Tour Itinerary

    Is There a Tour Itinerary

    The Phi Phi Islands are actually much smaller than most people imagine so a fixed, detailed itinerary is not normally required; you will be able to see all the places you want; assuming the weather allows us to do so safely. Your guide prepares each tour route on the day, themselves, combining their local knowledge, along with your suggestions; to create an experience bespoke to your interests. The Phi Phi Islands are dynamic, which means we are too. A fixed tour route can be a challenge, since seasonal factors, tide times, marine conditions, and crowds, must be accounted for. We continue altering the route in real-time throughout the day as well. For example, if your guide receives information that a popular location like Maya-Bay is quieter than usual, we can alter the route to prioritise it while we have the chance. If weather conditions aren't ideal in a certain area, we can alter the plan to make your experience smoother. This flexibility allows us to create a unique tour for you, and makes each day different.
    Lunch Details (Food and Drinks)

    Lunch Details (Food and Drinks)

    A restaurant lunch is included, enjoyed at our prime beachfront location by the sea. Hear the sound of the waves with an ocean-view while you eat. Choose from our menu of hand-selected Thai meals. Experience authentic Thai flavours subtly adjusted for international preferences. We can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and halal diets. Clean drinking water is available during the tour. Alcoholic drinks are not included but can be bought separately and kept cool in our ice-chiller on the boat.

    Best boat trip ever!

    I had the best trip round the Phi Phi islands today on our long tail boat! Boom was the best guide, she was very knowledgeable and really friendly. Boom and the driver took us to the best spots. The views were beautiful and snorkelling was so fun!

    Awesome Private Long Tail Boat Tour

    We went on a private long tail boat tour of the Phi Phi Islands. Our guide Ruth was excellent! She made sure we saw the best parts of the Islands. She was also a fantastic photographer and took so many great pictures of us. The long tail boat was also very nice and was quiet compared to many of the others we saw throughout the day.

    Book it.

    Scheduled a trip with my wife for our honeymoon, was all over travel advisor and reddit trying to figure out the best way to experience Phi Phi Islands from Phuket. For anyone reading this doing what I was doing…. book the Five Star Tour speed boat to Phi Phi with the private long tail boat tour with and don’t even think twice about it. I hope you take my word for it when I tell you just book it. From the moment we arrived to the pier to get transported to Phi Phi Islands, our tour guide Ruth approached us and guessed it was us. She took care of absolutely everything from the moment we saw her to the moment the day was done. We avoided the crowds and multiple time throughout the day said to ourselves anyone who doesn’t book this is making a mistake. Ruth thank you for making the trip incredible.

    Highly recommended!

    Me and my fiancé booked the sunrise private longtail tour. Everything went smoothly and we enjoyed it very much! Our guide Ruth and captain Aon were very friendly and professional. We felt very welcomed and looked after throughout the trip. Maya Bay was nice and quiet in the morning with no queues and baby sharks swimming in the shallow waters. We stopped off at a few different locations for some snorkelling and photo opportunities which were all good. The lunch included was at a nice beachfront restaurant on long beach; which I think if our hotel was closer to - we would want to come back to. 5 stars for 5 star Thailand Tours ☺️

    Five Star Thailand were amazing, helped us with what we wanted and we had the best private longtail boat tour! Phoon was our tour guide who stayed with us. He was amazing, knew all his stuff, great knowledge of Phi Phi Islands, Thailand and also knew the best spots for photos. We were really worried about the weather, we seen random heavy rain, but luckily also witnessed amazing weather. Its such a hit and miss, but come rain or shine, Phi Phi Islands are beautiful. Phoon aslo took us to this amazing restaurant, with great food and perfect beach views. Thank you Five Star Thailand and thank you Phoon, you were one of the best guides, the vibes he brought were amazing and we loved every bit of our tour.

    The perfect day

    We did the Phi Phi Islands tour with Phoom in a long tail boat. What a guy?! He was so knowledgeable about the islands, the oceans and pretty much anything we chatted about. It was the most amazing day, Phoom also takes amazing photos! We were completely amazed by his friendship with Bobby. Thanks Phoom for the best day! Highly recommend this tour!

    My friends and I had a great time on the private longtail boat tour with Phoom! The tour could not have gone any better—he took us to all the best spots around the Phi Phi Islands, including swimming in the blue lagoon, snorkeling, and getting to see monkeys. Phoom was so friendly and told us cool facts about the islands. He made sure we were safe, comfortable, and having a great time throughout. This was my friends’ and my favorite part of our travels through Thailand so far. Overall, would highly recommend this tour!

    Phi phi Island - must visit

    We previously did the James Bond Island tour with this company and decided to book the Phi Phi islands. Our tour guide Boom was absolutely amazing and provided great service. She let us choose the itinerary based on what we wanted to see but also giving us suggestions. There was drinks and fresh food ready for us on the long tail boat, they provide lunch at the Relax resort and even snorkelling gear which we used after lunch. We were actually quite lucky on the day we went as the weather was agreeable and the crowds weren’t many! I highly recommend booking with Five Star!

    Important Information

    Choosing The Correct Start Location

    Tours starting from Phi Phi Don are exclusively for guests staying overnight on the island. If you don't have a hotel reservation there, please choose a different starting point. For those in Phuket, Krabi, or other locations, select a package that begins from your area.

    Longtail From Phuket & Krabi

    Please be aware that our traditional longtail boats operate exclusively around the Phi Phi Islands and do not travel the long distance from Phuket or Krabi. Therefore tours from mainland locations include speedboat transfers to bring you to the island first, where you will then start your private longtail tour.

    Start in Phuket - Finish in Phi Phi

    Our longtail boat tour from Phuket is a round trip, meaning it starts and ends in Phuket. If you plan to stay overnight in Phi Phi after the tour, we recommend that you to travel to the island by yourself in the morning. And then you can book our afternoon longtail boat tour, which departs directly from Phi Phi Don. This option offers a more relaxed experience, as you won't need to carry your luggage during the tour. It also gives you more time on the longtail boat and includes a sunset. If you wish to start in Phi Phi and finish in Phuket, you can book our sunrise tour from Phi Phi in the morning and then travel to Phuket on your own in the afternoon.
