Travel to Phi Phi on the first passenger ferry to leave Phuket’s port in the morning, around 9am. We’ll also collect you from your hotel in Phuket, however, to keep the tour cost as low as possible, we’ll use a shared mini-bus and we’ll usually make some extra stops along the route, to pick up other guests.

It takes around 2 hours to travel by ferry to the islands, and our team will be waiting to greet you at the harbour once you arrive. You’ll have a short amount time in the town to freshen up, use the restrooms or grab a coffee if you’d like; before boarding your own longtail boat. You should expect to be taking to the seas just after 11am, while the islands are still usually a little quieter!

Our boats are authentic and Thai styled, piloted by one of our local and welcoming boat captains. There’s shaded cover, and open areas at the front of the boat, along with and an ice chiller on board to keep any supplies cool, plus plenty of bottled drinking water, and some fresh seasonal fruits to tuck into. (We’re also able to fill up your reusable water bottle before your tour instead, if you’d prefer)!

This tour is not guided, you’ll be out at see with our cheerful, boat captain. These guys know Phi Phi better than anyone else and will ensure you have a fantastic trip, stopping at each location at the most ideal time. Our captains are all Thai, but they can speak perfect broken English!

After your tour, the return ferry leaves from Phi Phi at 15:00pm, arriving back on dry land two hours later, where, your mini-van and driver will be waiting to bring you back to your hotel.

Make up to 5 stops at the most beautiful and unique detonations that Phi Phi Islands have to offer.
