“The weather unfortunately wasn’t on our side but we still had the best day! The spots you go to on this tour are absolutely gorgeous. The snorkelling was great and we had a perfect amount of time at each stop (except Maya bay - we found this very boring and over rated. It’s such a tourist trap). Still worth seeing though :) Guides were great and friendly and everything ran smoothly! Highly recommend :)”

“Great day, very good value for money, cheapest we found. Visited 7 islands - had plenty of time on each. Lunch, fruit and 2x bottles of water was included. Stopped at lots of different points for photos, including stopping for sunset. Our guide planned our route so we arrived at the islands before most other people and as we were leaving everyone else was arriving, was nice to avoid the overcrowding. Boat was a long tail - out tour was booked up and there wasn’t very much room on the boat. However, didn’t feel overly cramped. When on a budget this is no less cramped than we expected. Tour provided…”

“I had a great time on this tour. It will always be crowded because you go to the spots where everyone wants to go, bit I guess you know what you sign up for in advance. Our guide was nice and made sure the tour was how we wanted it to be. Some of us didn’t want to wait for the sunset and plankton sighting, so they got dropped off at the pier earlier and the rest of us got to wait on the boat and see the plankton. That was a unique experience, so I recommend everyone to do it. Would book the tour again because in my opinion…”

Und vom Plankton war gar nicht mehr die Rede. Es wurde kurz auf offener See angehalten und den Sonnenuntergang abgewartet. Fazit:Ersten Teil gut und dann ging es abwärts”

“Pésimo servicio, he sentido que he perdido tiempo y 1 día de mis vacaciones. Nuestros guías eran 2 chicos, el más joven era muy amable pero el otro no, además de que ha faltado el respeto a 1 compañera gritándole porque supuestamente íbamos a Maya Bay lo cual para ingresar ahí nos cobraron 400bths por persona pero no tiene sentido porque Maya Bay ahora mismo está cerrado y no se puede ingresar ni a Maya Bay ni al Parque Nacional por lo tanto querían quedarse con los 400bths y fue lo que pasó. No nos devolvieron nada a ninguna de las 12 personas que íbamos a esa excursión.”

9.Half-Day Phi Phi Snorkeling Trip by Longtail Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 38 reviews · 4 hours · from $26

Set out from Phi Phi Don by traditional longtail boat for a four-hour circuit of Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Pi Leh Lagoon, Loh Samah Bay, and Maya Bay. You’ll get snorkeling gear, water, fruit, and a Thai or English-speaking guide. The trip offers striking cliff views at a low price, but short stops and busy sights require realistic expectations.

“Wij moesten zelf kwartier op voorhand aanwezig zijn terwijl de contactpersoon te laat arriveerde. Inmiddels hadden wij een kwartier gezocht en van een plek naar de andere gehold. Monkey Beach kan beter omschreven worden als Dirty Beach (overal afval, maar misschien wel expres om de apen aan te trekken) Maya Beach mooi maar enkel foto's mogelijk vanwege het herstelprogramma van het koraalrif. Geen probleem want nodig. Half uurtje snorkelen is genoeg wat weinig te zien. En natuurlijk massa's volk die zich hebben laten verleiden tot deze toer. Kortom voor mij juist niet gebuisd.”
