Things to know before booking your Phi Phi Island tour

Budget vs. luxury

  • Looking for an affordable way to experience Phi Phi? Budget-friendly tours (฿750 onwards) cover the must-see spots but come with basic boat amenities and simpler meal options.
  • If you’re after the full island experience with roomier boats, gourmet meals, and premium service, a luxury tour (฿3,700+) is well worth the upgrade.
  • Tip: Want a balance of comfort and cost? Mid-range tours (~฿1,600) offer better seating, upgraded meals, and snorkeling equipment without breaking the bank.

Half-day vs. Full-day tours

  • Short on time? A half-day tour (6-8 hours) lets you check off Phi Phi’s biggest highlights quickly – ideal for those with packed schedules or looking for a quick getaway.
  • Want the full experience? A full-day tour (~10–12 hours) gives you extra time to snorkel, relax, and explore at your own pace.

Boat types

  • Speedboat (45 min-1 hr) is best for those who value time over comfort. Get to Phi Phi fast and make the most of your day. Perfect for action-packed itineraries.
  • Catamaran (up to 90 min) is ideal if youprefer a more relaxed, comfortable journey. They offer more stability, better seating, and a smoother ride, especially if you’re prone to seasickness.
  • Whale Shark Boat (up to 60 min) combines speed, stunning views, and endless water fun. This spacious speedboat features a rooftop deck for panoramic vistas and an onboard water slide for an extra splash of excitement.
  • Longtail Boat (10–30 min) from Phi Phi offers a shared adventure in a traditional open-air vessel, perfect for a breezy, picturesque ride through stunning surroundings.
  • Tip: Traveling with kids or older family members? A catamaran is the better choice for a relaxed, hassle-free ride.

Which tour fits your travel style?

  • On a budget? A speedboat or a longtail boat tour gives you the essentials at the best price.
  • Solo traveler or adventure seeker? Full-day catamaran tour with snorkeling and water activities keeps the excitement going.
  • Luxury traveler? Indulge in a premium catamaran tour featuring gourmet meals, limited passengers, and VIP service, or opt for a Whale Shark Boat tour with a rooftop deck and an onboard water slide for the ultimate blend of comfort and adventure!

Ferry services

The best and most budget-friendly option for those who want to explore on their own, ferries and speedboats offer direct transfers between Phi Phi and Phuket/Krabi. Choose a big boat for a spacious, smooth ride or a speedboat to save time. Optional hotel transfers are available in Phuket.

National park fee

Phi Phi Islands are part of a National Park, and some tours don’t include the ฿400 entrance fee. You’ll need to pay this in cash upon arrival, so be prepared.
