HOW DOES THE PRIVATE BOAT RENTAL FROM PHUKET WORK
Are you staying in Phuket, but do you want to experience the longtail boat trip around the most beautiful locations in Thailand?
No problem! We have a special package which includes pick up by minivan from your hotel in Phuket and transfers by join speedboat to Phi Phi Island. After your arrival, our captain will be waiting for you in our office at the Koh Phi Phi Pier.
When you are ready you can start your 4-hour or 6-hour long tour around the famous Phi Phi Lay Island. We start the trip with a quick visit to Monkey Beach, where you can spot wild monkeys playing on the beach and jumping on the walls of limestone cliffs. You will then cross over to Phi Phi Island, where you can enjoy beautiful snorkeling at Viking Cave, swim in the azure water of Phi Lay Lagoon, and visit the world-famous Maya Bay national park. The Beach is the famous location in the movie The Beach with Leonardo Dicaprio. When you are ready to come back, our captain will take you back to the pier, or if have some time left we can also stop at Shark Point for another snorkeling and swimming spot. In the one day trip our captain also takes you to more beautiful locations around Phi Phi don for more snorkeling and swimming.
This trip is private, so you can choose how much or how little you want to snorkel and how long you want to stay in each location.

After your long tail boat trip, our captain will take you back to the port in Koh Phi Phi Don where you will have some time to have a drink at the beach bar, buy some souvenirs from the island, or have a little walk in the town.

↓ IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING YOUR TRIP ↓
WE CAN NOT CONTROL THE WEATHER. All tour programs and itinerary orders can be changed depending on the weather, wind and tide. All our itineraries and programs are only suggestions and ideas. However, the captain has to check during the day if possible to follow. Your SAFETY is our main priority, and if waves are too big there might be a change of program. From May to November there is an official monsoon season in the south of Thailand. If there is a rain during your hotel pick up time, please contact us by WhatsApp to see if there is a possibility to change for another day. In case you decide to cancel due to rain on the day of your trip, we won’t be able to refund your travel vouchers to the island, but we can refund your long tail boat trip.
We can not predict the weather and it can change suddenly. If you think bad weather would ruin your trip, please reconsider booking a trip with us. Thailand has a tropical climate that can not be predicted. We can not provide any compensation for rainy weather or change in locations. During monsoon season most days, the boat trip does not visit the east side of Phi Phi Don (Wang Long Bay and Nui Bay). On some windy days, we can not get to Bamboo Island as the island is a bit further from the main island. We do not offer a refund if the boat can not get to Bamboo Island or other locations during the trip due to strong wind. Another aspect that may affect your trip is the tide. During very low tide, boats can not get to the lagoon, and during high tide there is no beach in Monkey Beach. Please keep all this in mind when making reservations with us.
WE CAN NOT CONTROL THE NATURE. We can not affect if there will be any monkeys on Monkey Beach, sharks, or jellyfish in the sea. We live on a beautiful island surrounded by beautiful nature which is wild and unpredictable. On some days we see monkeys, small sharks, turtles, or even dolphins. Some days we don’t see any monkeys, the visibility underwater is not good, and snorkeling is not so great. This is nature and we can not predict, or compensate for any lack of wild animals or nature phenomena. Some days we see a lot of plankton, and some days none, it can not be predicted.
Speed boat transfers are not recommended for pregnant women, children under 3 year old and for severely ill or affected individuals (e.g. asthma, heart condition).
REFUND POLICY: Our refund policy is a 100% refund if canceled up until 1 month of the date you are booked to come and 50% if you cancel between 48h and 1 month before the date of your trip. Cancelation of your booking less than 48 hours before or no show is no refund. In the unlikely event that we need to cancel due to bad weather, we will attempt to reschedule or offer you a full refund.
