Traveler reviews
Amazing experience
It was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, everything was well organised and the all staff were very friendly and helpful. The snorkeling spots were beautiful with crystal clear water and lots of colorful fish. We visited several stunning locations around the islands, and each stop was breathtaking. The guides made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, and they were very attentive throughout the trip. It was such a memorable experience for us. If you’re visiting Phi Phi island and love the ocean, I highly recommend this tour. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Thailand!
Excellent trip with a great guide who was really knowledgable, thank you Joe 🙏🏼🙏🏼
A really excellent trip, well organised. Seeing Maya Bay early before the crowds was fantastic. The snorkelling opportunities were really good. Stopping at Bamboo Island for lunch and the opportunity for a swim was excellent as the beaches and water is really beautiful. Our guide Joe was excellent, taking time to provide information and best areas for snorkelling, thank you Joe 🙏🏼🙏🏼
There are certainly better tours if you really need to see Maya Bay...
We booked the 8-hour tour, which seemed too long for us. The National Park to Maya Bay opens at 07:00 and just before New Year's Eve there were already 10 boats. By 10:00, Maya Bay was already closed, as 4000 visitors were there. It was not a lonely beach, also missing the sun in Maya Bay until our departure at 08:00. Although the photos show otherwise, you can't even go down to your knees in the water in Maya Bay. There are watchers with whistles everywhere. The rest of the tour was not so spectacular. Worst were the 2 hours over noon on Bamboo Island. Totally crowded, swimming only with life jacket in a small cordoned area. The guide was a bit rugged and rude, we had to change boats during the tour and carry all our luggage for 1 hour and for lunch we had cold rice in a polystyrene box. I recommend either booking the shorter 6-hour tour or a later one where you can see the sun in Maya Bay and having something to eat and spices to take with you.
These islands near Phi Phi are just so beaitiful!
Early departure did make difference. Our boat beat the crowd, and successfully visited Maya Bay, Loh Samah Bay, Pi Leh Bay, Pi Leh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Bamboo Island, Monkey Beach, Nui Beach. We had 3 - 4 times of swimming activities, including 2 times of snorkeling activities. Some bu not all saw sharks. It was very relaxed tour. These islands are just so beautiful.
Poor communication from ‘Sugar’
Unfortunately we were unable to attend as I got food poisoning. I messaged the tour operator the day before we were supposed to go to explain and see if we would be able to rebook for the following day as I could see they still had spaces available. I got no response…even if this was not possible, some communication would’ve been appreciated.
