Traveler reviews
Not good
This trip was below average. The boat stopped at several places, but we never really got to explore or enjoy the views properly. We saw Maya Bay from what felt like a kilometer away, and the only real stop was at Phi Phi, which is extremely small and overrated. When I said we wanted to go snorkeling, the crew didn’t seem to understand, and it was actually a problem for them to arrange it. We expected that the whole group would go snorkeling together, but that wasn’t the case – only a few people went, and in the end, we didn’t either. It’s not real snorkeling near reefs – they just put you in a wetsuit and gave you some gear. Also, the crew spoke English with a heavy accent and it was nearly impossible to understand them. They didn’t even try to speak more clearly or make sure people understood what was going on. I don’t recommend this trip; it doesn’t match the description.
Not happy at all with the tour.
The boat crew were unfriendly, rude. Lunch was bad too. We could only sight see two island from far. There was really not much to do in Phi Phi Island other than shopping and snorkeling.
Will not recommend
Going and coming back from Phuket to phi phi Island took 4 and half hours. There was no soft drinks for free. Only tea and coffee were provided when going to the Island. Lunch was bad.
Not worth it, waste of time and money.
Nothing memorable. Not what was promised and paid for. No soft drinks, snacks or tea on big boat. We did not stop and disembark at Loh Samah Bay. Therefore did not visit Sama Bay and Maya Bay. Admission tickets also supposed to be included in price. We also did not stop at Viking Cave and no snorkeling done there. Snorkeling in Pileh Bay only 30min. Did not visit Monkey Beach either. Not enough time spent on Phi Phi Don Island to explore. Only 2hours including lunch time. 10 Hour trip from Hotel back to hotel with only 2 hours spent on an island. Do not do this trip through this service provider.
Disappointing yet a very pleasant trip
Disappointing because the 3 times snorkeling itinerary ended up with only snorkeling once. That is also the reason I will not recommend this tour for people preferring more snorkeling experience. I nevertheless want to give a 5-star review for our guide Sam for his always-smile, warm, patient, and heart felt service. He took photos and videos with his GoPro camera all along the tour above and below water for all passengers alike. He helped making our tour very pleasant and memorable. The view of Maya Bay, coral reefs and tropical fish in Viking Cave are very satisfying. The lunch is delicious. We spent 4 hours traveling in the big air-conditioned ferry boat. The off-ferry boat-time is 4 hours. The time we have on Phi Phi Don is only enough for lunch. According to the itinerary descriptions there should be 5+ hours off the ferry boat.
