Frustration

If you are thinking of spending a relaxing day, do not opt for this option. Too many people, too much noise, racing to every place (must have a watch in hand), a lot of time spent in boat without view of the outside... If you only spend a few days in this region do not favor this trip that will frustrate you. If you have time why not because for example the beach of Maya Bay is worth the detour even if swimming prohibited. Wholesale tourist attraction + + +

Fantastic day out

An outstanding day out. The guides and boat crew were excellent and friendly. The day was well run with plenty of stops and swimming/snorkelling opportunities. Lunch was good on Phi Phi. Highly recommended.
