Great day trip

We recently took a family day trip to Phi Phi Islands, and despite some afternoon rain, it was a fantastic experience that we’d highly recommend! Opting for the catamaran over a speedboat was a smart move, especially with the weather turning bad in the afternoon. The catamaran’s stability made the 1hr ride smooth, and we barely noticed the choppy seas—a huge plus for anyone prone to seasickness. If you’re unsure about motion sickness, I’d strongly suggest taking seasickness pills before boarding, just to be safe. Preparation Tips: Invest in a waterproof bag for your clothes and belongings—snorkeling means everything gets wet, even with the catamaran’s protection. A waterproof phone case was a game-changer for us, letting us snap great underwater photos without worry. Crew & Organization: The crew was excellent, professional, and kept everything running smoothly. The terminal can feel chaotic at first, but the staff’s clear directions (and handy wristbands) made it easy to know who was on our boat and who to follow on land. The wristbands were a brilliant touch for keeping groups organized. Food & Drinks: Lunch was sufficient, offering a halal meal that satisfied everyone, including our picky 12- and 15-year-olds. The kids loved that water and sodas were freely available on board all day. We brought snacks for the kids, but you can also buy food at various stops (cash and credit cards accepted). There are ATMs available at the lunch stop if you need cash. Highlights: We were lucky with high tide, allowing a quick stop at Monkey Beach for photos—definitely a highlight, though the stop is brief. We’d pre-booked a small dragon boat for the lagoon, but with the high tide, it wasn’t necessary. If you’re visiting during low tide, I’d recommend booking the dragon boat (available at the terminal) for a better lagoon experience. Disappointment: The only letdown was missing Maya Bay which is closed annually in August and September for environmental recovery. We’d hoped to at least snap photos at the entrance, but the rough afternoon weather prevented it. This wasn’t the tour company’s fault, just bad timing on our behalf. Overall: Despite the weather and missing Maya Bay, the trip was a hit for our family. The catamaran’s comfort, great crew, and thoughtful organization made it memorable. We’d highly recommend this Phi Phi Island day trip to families or anyone looking for a fun, well-run adventure. Just come prepared with seasickness pills, waterproof gear, and realistic expectations about weather and closures!
