We had a great time on this tour. Driver was on time and picked us up right at the hotel reception. It was just about an hour drive (with traffic) from Phuket to the marina, and then an hour boat ride to the first stop. Tour guides were professional and courteous. Make sure you bring towels, sunscreen, sunglasses and some petty cash if you want to get some snacks or food on the stops. The buffet was standard but good nonetheless. They do give you unlimited bottled water and Coke Zero on the boat, which is pretty nice. I’d definitely recommend this tour. It’s a longer day but if you get nice weather the views are genuinely unbeatable.

It was a great day! The guides were amazing. Taking pictures for us and making sure we had snacks and drinks all day. I would definitely go again and have already recommended it!
So fun! Lunch was yummy, we got to experience many different islands and beaches. Tour guides were so nice
Everything went well. I can’t comment on other operators, but V delivered as we’d hoped. No complaints.
We LOVED this experience!! We were offered an upgrade to the Sunrise Phi Phi Islands tour and decided to take it. It was absolutely worth the 4 am wake up call. Sunrise breakfast on Khai Island followed by a day of island hopping and swimming/snorkeling with minimal crowds since we were out much earlier than everyone else. The staff was so nice and accommodating. Lunch was great as well. We upgraded an got the photo package as well- looking forward to seeing how those turn out. I would absolutely do this tour again. Such a great way to experience the islands!
Great stops, well organized and good hosting. They messaged us the day before confirming pickup location and time, clearly coordinated transportation to the marina and they adapt the trip based on weather and tide conditions. They provided lots of snacks and drinks and were very helpful, even offering to take kids off pictures for us even though we didn’t pay the extra for the photographer. Sea was our guide, she was great as was the entire team. Great trip, worth the money.
Went on a boat tour with Ray on ship 88 and it was an incredible experience, the crew took care of everyone and were very friendly. They fed us snacks, always had drinks ready if we needed them as well. They made sure we found the best snorkeling spots and the best places to take our pictures. They also picked us up from our hotel which is was such a nice bonus. Would highly recommend them.
The trip was great! Our guide was Sea (aka Beauty 😉) and she and her crew were amazing. We received all necessary information in advance and their instructions were clear. Her english was very good. They took good care of us and made sure we enjoyed our time. They offered us plenty of water and fruits. The boat was new and in great condition and they are taking very good care of it. They also offer the option to pay for a photographer to take your photos during the trip which was very good because you get in the water every now and then and it was not possible to use our phones
This excursion checked the boxes. My group had fun. The crew was excellent and very attentive. I do recommend
Excellent organization. Fantastically clean boat and bathroom. Energetic host. Highly recommend for teens and adults!
Plenty of island stops. Plenty of snacks and drinks on the boat. Boat crew was great. Scenery was beautiful.
Efficient, friendly, and exactly what the brochure said. Very happy with this purchase. Maya Bay was worth every dollar!
We got picked at the hotel exactly on time:-) The tour was fantastic, well organized, crew was very attentive and helpful! It was a lot of fun while being very safe! Highly recommend this tour!!
Great experience. Crew was attentive and very safety conscious. I felt we were in good hands. Sonny our guide even provided a surprise "wade in the water" back to the boat after lunch.
Good One. Recommended. They are very accommodating. It's really fun and they covered everything that was in the Itinerary. Relaxing.
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Excellent hosts, friendly and knowledgeable. The team did a brilliant job of looking after my family. Dont think just book the trip you won't be disappointed. Call out to Goodie for his great ability to look after us all as well as Mac for following us around taking photos.
I could not give this enough stars!! Loved the speedboat, the staff and we had the best people on our boat. It was a stunning tour. Highly recommend
This tour experience is highly rated for a reason! It was luxurious, fun, and all for a very reasonable price. For starters, having hotel pickup and drop-off is such a convenient touch. Not having to worry about getting to and from the marina makes the morning a lot less stressful, and the drive home so much more relaxing. Once we arrived at the marina, it was clear that all the staff truly loved what they do. They were all so friendly and enthusiastic. It definitely got us hyped for the day ahead! We were assigned to Boat 99 with Ray and his team, and they were all incredible. There was never a shortage of snacks or drinks, and they were exceptionally attentive. While we were adventuring or swimming, Ray would go around folding or hanging up our towels in preparation for our return, and he always offered to take photos and videos on our personal phones so we didn’t have to think about it. Now, as for the islands: what incredible sights! The real highlight was the snorkeling at Phi Phi. I have never seen so many sea creatures in one place. It was honestly like a dream. The second best stop was 100% the Lagoon. The color of the water here looks straight out of a movie, and it’s so warm! I’m not generally a big swimmer, but I honestly did not want to get out. Lastly, the buffet lunch was an amazing spread. You get your own private dining area on Phi Phi Island with an incredible view of the beach. Plus, the locals were purr-fect... let me explain: they were cats! Hahaha. We met Taco, a sophisticated kitty rocking a Hawaiian shirt, and another little kitty resting on the cool concrete. Overall, it was a true once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you are looking for a boat tour during your stay, look no further. This is the one you want!
Great views, friendly staff, totally comfortable as a solo traveler. Wish we had more snorkel/swim time, but overall great experience. Highly recommend.
This was a great day out. Very professional team. Great catamaran. Not crowded like the others. We had 14. Our host was Sea. She was lovely. Very knowledgeable and funny and they really show respect to the environment and animals. All the crew were helpful. Lunch was great. We had plenty time at each stop also. Most importantly I felt safe for the day. Highly recommended.
Tour was well organized. Catamaran was in good condition. It was a pleasant experience for us. Guide speaks English.
A fabulous full day adventure! Snorkelling over a coral reef with hundreds of beautiful tropical fish, swimming in a tropical lagoon, and a delicious Thai lunch that catered to my pescatarian diet. This was worth every cent and the tour staff especially Sea, were excellent. I recommend adding on the photography package - fabulous quality!
the full day itinerary was very organized. Me and my family really enjoyed the experience of the guided tour throughout the day- from the location, to the content our excellent guide (named Sea) provided and so on. We got the sufficient time to explore each stop, and the sequence of the different stops was really good since we got the chance to see a lot. You'll have the chance to jump into the water and do some snorkeling, don't give up on that. Also , the company offers at the begging of the day a private photographer by paying in advance- we were really happy we did it because he was really generous and accompanied us everywhere during our day so at the end we got tons of pictures and we didn't have to be worried about taking our phones everywhere. TRUELY RECOMMENDED
My wife and I had a great time on the tour. When we booked we paid extra to include the photographer as part of our package which was well worth it to get photos underwater and some professional photos taken. We had great weather and were well looked after with snacks and drinks on board the boat during the day. Snorkeling in the ocean and feeding the fish was a highlight of the trip. The buffet lunch was excellent. We both agree we would do it again in the future.
It was a very well-organized tour. The staff was knowledgable and had everything you could need for the tour (fruit/snacks, bottled water, swim gear including life jackets). We thoroughly enjoyed our time! We also sprung for the photography package which wasn't too pricey (~50 USD) and we got plenty of great pictures. The photographer was active and got great shots.
One of the best experiences I’ve ever had! The crew was absolutely amazing, and the island was simply magical. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough!
Goodies and the crew were amazing. We paid extra for photos and these were great too. Would highly recommend.
I wouldn’t rebook or recommend- they advertise premium services to justify the higher price. For example, 2x snorkelling - I had issues with my mask, and one of the snorkelling destinations had so much litter and dead fish it was not fun. The 4.5 star hotel they provide food at was probably the most underwhelming food we had in Thailand. I don’t think it was really 4.5 stars. The variety was minimal and it was quite flavourless. It just feels like they stop you in a few key places for photos. I would recommend booking a more affordable option because they didn’t offer anything special for the price. The islands are beautiful though!
The tour was fantastic! The guides and staff were clear with all the information, patient, very friendly, and even fun. We never felt rushed or pressured at any point. They provided fresh fruit, snacks, and drinks throughout the tour, which was a great touch. The group size was exactly as advertised, and everyone was given enough personal space to enjoy the experience. Overall, a really well-organized and enjoyable tour!
Amazing experience! The Phi Phi Island tour was beautiful, fun, and so well organized. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip—I highly recommend it!
We had a fantastic time with Sea and her team. Sea and crew were very attentive to us and made sure we had a great time (which we did). Truly a highlight of our holiday. We went with our almost 12yo who loved it.
We had such a great Phi Phi trip and I was genuinely so impressed with the whole experience. One of the biggest surprises for me was the vegetarian food. On most boat tours, vegetarian options can feel like an afterthought, but here they had prepared multiple proper dishes including tofu, and I could still enjoy parts of the main buffet too. It made such a difference and was really appreciated. The boat crew were also brilliant throughout the day. They were constantly checking that everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves, helping with anything we needed, and even had towels folded and ready for us. You could really tell they cared about the little details and making sure everyone had a good experience. The whole day felt very well organised, relaxed and looked after. I’d definitely recommend this trip, especially if you’re vegetarian and usually worry about food on excursions.
Must do while in Phuket! The team were lovely and looked after us the whole way. It was an action packed day. Lunch was delicious and they tended to our every need.
Such an amazing experience. Not only was the views breathtaking but the crew was so friendly and always willing to take pictures. Loved every minute
This was a great tour. It wasn’t too big, about 18 people. I brought the picture package as I was traveling solo and the pictures turned out amazing! The package is so worth it! The
Brilliant- well organised. Friendly and understanding staff. Attentive and respectful
Outstanding! A must go a see if you travel to Thailand. Be advised that the trip from and to Phuket on a speedboat can be challenging if you’re sensitive to motion sickness. Scary at times to say the least… but worth the negatives…
What an amazing tour of the Phi Phi Islands!! From hotel pickup, to check-in, and then all of the excursions, the day was well planned and organized. Thank you to Boat 99 and Roy for such a fun, safe, and informative day. We had so much fun snorkeling and seeing lots of beautiful coral and fish, watching the monkeys at Monkey Island, enjoying a cocktail and buffet lunch, and taking a relaxing swim in the Blue Lagoon. A must do and I’m convinced it’s one of the best tours of the Phi Phi Islands!!
An amazing trip from Phuket to Phi Phi Islands, Sunny the guide and the entire boat crew were outstanding and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Lunch was also excellent. A "must so" activity when you visit Phuket.
Would highly recommend this for families and friend groups! I went solo and still enjoyed it, but I think I would have enjoyed it more with companions because they gave us a lot of time to explore each location outside of the main group. Also, I have to commend our guide Rey, who went above and beyond to make us comfortable. This was probably the most attentive guide I've ever seen! Every little need, whether spoken or not, he was immediately tending to. You're laying down to nap? He'll grab you a makeshift pillow. Your sandals are sandy? He'll wash them for you before boarding. You have lipstick stain on your chin? He will discreetly hand you tissues. You look bored? Have a snack! Haha he was lovely. I also got the photographer package, and even though there were 8 of us onboard who also booked him, he did not miss any memorable shot of me. He also made sure to check in on me and assist me with the equipment during the underwater videos. The whole crew was thoughtful!
The tour was seamless from beginning to end, sunny and his team looked after us and they were truly fabulous. We have been to the Phi Phi islands before and this tour was much better - we genuinely felt looked after, the lunch was excellent and the islands were absolutely stunning.
Sunny was absolutely amazing and accommodating. Explained the tour in detail, gave really great historic facts, and overall we were lucky since traveling in their rainy season we had a beautiful 91 degree day. Not a rain cloud in sight
Goodies made our trip! Very accommodating and a great vibe, was never a boring time and we wish we could do it all again
This was a wonderful day! Our boat guide, Helen, was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the different places we stopped. We had lucky sunny weather in August, the water near Phi Phi islands was stunning and turquoise. There were a few places to stop & swim/snorkle, and we had a lovely buffet lunch at another hotel. They served refreshing drinks & fruit on board which was a nice snack. This was a perfect day!
All staff was great, photographers did a awesome job, we would highly recommend them to everyone.
Guides and staff are so gracious and knowledgeable. The boat was new and clean and we felt we were in good hands the entire Time. The view was amazing and the weather was perfect. This is a must do when in Phuket. Also bring cash for the park fees. But if you need a towel or water proof case holder for your phone they have it at the marina (cash or card).
The weather was rough the tour should have been canceled due to the storm!! Can someone call me 904 329 9905
Absolutely amazing experience, staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved paying that bit extra and going with a company whose boat wasn’t overcrowded. Plenty of time spent at each location, drinks and snacks provided on the boat between stops and then beautiful meal on the beach at lunch time. My little girl had the best time snorkelling. Highly recommend using this company.
A great way to explore Phi Phi from Phuket. An action packed day but didn’t feel too rushed. Sunny and his team were brilliant, sharing lots of information on the area, and keeping us topped up and water and snacks.
Great experience from start to finish. Would highly recommend especially seeing the other boats from other tour operators. We were the first boat to the national park, which was nice. Waters, Coke Zero, fruit, and snacks were offered every stop. Lunch was very good as well, we were the only tour there so no crazy lines to deal with. There are also real bathrooms there too. Highly recommend.
