We run a private boat service from sunrise to sunset and also organize night swimming with bioluminescent plankton, so you can start any time between 6am till 8pm.
For the complete tour of the islands, we recommend 7 hours, but you can also choose 6 hours or 8 hours, depending on how much time you’d like to spend snorkeling and relaxing on beaches.

WHAT LOCATIONS CAN WE VISIT?
Check out our private tour programs below, you can choose what time you wish to start and also change the duration of the trip if you prefer to stay longer or shorter. Please see here to discover what locations you can visit around Phi Phi Islands with our boat.
HOW DO WE MAKE SURE WE HAVE A GOOD CAPTAIN?
Phi Phi Island is a very popular destination and all good captains with a good customer’s feedbacks are hired by agencies and tour operators such as ourselves so you won’t find them walking down the street as they have already customer bookings arranged for them ahead.
Also, we don’t recommend finding a captain on a beach and trying to drive the price down, all captains have fixed prices and underpaid captain will be one unhappy captain which can ruin your trip.
All our captains are professional, paid good salaries and with years of experience to make sure you have the best possible experience here on Phi Phi Island. They can communicate in basic English, and our customer service staff are always available online in case you have any issues.
Please note this is a boat rental, the captain is a driver and he is not acting as a guide.
Our captains know the best routes and are aware of the tides and timeframe, so there is no need to guide them. Please do not expect a guided tour, as this is a boat rental only, our captain can answer some basic questions, however he is not guide and has to drive and take care of the boat during the trip. If you require a guide, please contact us ahead and we can check for you if have available for your date (prices for private guide starts from 2000THB).
WHERE DOES THE TOUR START?
Meeting point is in our main office Visa Travel, close to the main pier on Phi Phi Don (you will receive detailed map and instruction where to find us, with your booking confirmation).
We also arrange a free pick up from hotels located on Long Beach (if tides and weather allow it).
If your hotel is not in the main part of the island, please let us know, there will be an extra charge for pick up or you can organize a taxi boat from your hotel yourself. If you are not sure where your hotel is located, please send us a message HERE.
If you are staying in Phuket or Krabi, please have a look at our packages with Koh Phi Phi Transfers.
ARE THERE ANY EXTRA FEES TO PAY?
Yes, if you wish to visit Maya Bay or Bamboo Island (national park). The entry for one day is 400THB per person and 200THB for a child, infants can enter for free. So please, do not forget to bring cash with you, if you wish to visit the national park area.

↓ 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. In case of rain before your trip or at the time of the departure, you can cancel and get a full refund, or change for another day (if available). Once you start your trip, we can not provide any refund or partial refund, or change. 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.
Children below 3 years are free of charge. Children 10 years and older are full price.
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.
