⚠️ IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING YOUR TRIP
🌦️ IMPORTANT: Weather & Nature Disclaimer
We love sharing the beauty of Phi Phi with our guests, but Mother Nature has the final say. All of our tour programs are flexible and subject to change depending on weather, wind, tides, and sea conditions. Your safety is always our top priority.
⚠️ Please Note:
Itineraries are suggestions and may change based on conditions during the day.
Captains may adjust routes to ensure your safety and comfort.
From May to November, southern Thailand experiences the official monsoon season. If it’s heavily raining at the time of your departure, you may cancel for a refund or reschedule/ postpone (subject to availability). Once the boat has departed, no refunds can be offered. Sudden weather changes are a natural part of tropical island life.
🌊 Nature & Seasonal Notes:
- Please note that Maya Bay is a part of a protected national park and may be closed at any time by the national park rangers, regardless of season. Closures can happen without prior notice, especially in cases of strong winds or unsafe conditions. This is done to protect the environment and ensure visitor safety. The closure is beyond our control. If a location is closed on the day of your trip, your captain will adjust the route to offer the best alternative experience possible.
Very low tides may prevent boats from entering Piley Lagoon.
High tides may cover Monkey Beach, making the monkeys stay on the rocks and trees (no sandy beach).
We do not provide refunds for route changes caused by weather, tides, or sea conditions.
Please note that we do NOT cancel trips due to cloudy weather or light rain. Trips are only canceled in the event of storms or unsafe conditions prior to the start of the trip. If you feel your experience could be affected by weather, please consider this before making booking.
🐒🌊 Important Note About Nature & Wildlife
We are lucky to live on a stunning tropical island surrounded by wild and unpredictable nature — and that’s part of the magic of Phi Phi! However, please understand that we cannot guarantee sightings of wildlife or ideal snorkeling conditions. Nature is not a zoo or aquarium, and every day is different.
What to Expect:
Monkey Beach: Sometimes full of monkeys, sometimes completely empty.
Snorkeling: Water clarity and marine life vary daily — on some days we spot reef sharks, turtles, or even dolphins. On others, visibility might be low or marine life less active. This is the beauty of exploring a natural environment — it’s always real, never staged.
Thank you for understanding that we cannot provide compensation or refunds for natural variations or the absence of wildlife during your trip.
👶🤰🏻 Children & Pregnancy POLICY
Children under 3 years old: Free of charge. Children 10 years and older: Charged at full price.
⚠️ Due to safety and insurance regulations, we cannot accept bookings for pregnant women. If a reservation is made without notifying us of a pregnancy and you are refused entry to the boat or transfer, NO REFUND will be provided. It is your responsibility to inform us in advance before making any booking.
