Highlight of my Phuket trip!!

We booked the 'Lazy Phi Phi and Khai Waterslide tour by Speed Catamaran' one day prior to the tour somewhat hesitantly because there were only two reviews on Viator at the time (though both were positive). We are SO glad we took the chance because this ended up being one of the best excursions of our trip. From start to finish, the entire experience was incredibly organized, smooth, and thoughtfully executed. Hotel pickup was on time, the catamaran was clean, and the staff truly went above and beyond to care for everyone throughout the day. You could tell they genuinely cared about their guests and wanted everyone to have an amazing experience. They were fully prepared with endless water and soft drinks, and even had bags, oils, and tiger balm ready for anyone feeling seasick. The water was quite rough while traveling between islands (obviously outside of their control), but the crew did everything they could to help guests feel comfortable. We visited several beautiful islands, but snorkeling was by far the highlight for us. I am not a strong swimmer, and the guides were so patient, attentive, and encouraging in making sure I still had a wonderful snorkeling experience and got to fully enjoy the beauty of the water. They were also incredibly proactive about helping guests get great photos and memorable shots throughout the day. Lunch was also very good — a buffet served in a beautiful open-air setting with several tasty options. I communicated my seafood allergy ahead of time, and one of the guides (shoutout to Katie!) went out of her way to make sure I had safe food options available, which I really appreciated. One area for improvement: the seating arrangement on the catamaran allows for a lot of passengers, and at times it did feel cramped. Between personal belongings, life jackets, shoes, snorkeling gear, wet towels, and everything else that accumulates throughout the day, I definitely found myself wishing for more personal space. That said, this is absolutely a tour I would recommend. It is a long day, but incredibly worth it. Everything felt intentional, professional, and well-structured. Honestly, the team made the experience feel so special that it was hard to believe they do this every single day. Without question, this was the best snorkeling experience we’ve ever had. The water was beautiful, clear, and perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
