We had a really enjoyable day exploring the Phi Phi Islands. We experienced some bad weather at the beginning, but that's always a possibility with outdoor activities and didn't stop us from having a great time. The scenery throughout the day was absolutely stunning, with beautiful beaches and crystal-clear water. The tour visits some very popular spots, so it can feel quite touristy, but that's understandable given how famous these locations are. The group size was pleasantly small, which made the experience feel more personal. The boat is also relatively small, so the ride can be a bit bumpy at times, especially when the sea is rough. The organisation was excellent and the instructions were always clear, making the whole day stress-free. The staff were friendly and made sure nobody ever went hungry. The lunch was simple and not particularly memorable, but it provided plenty of energy to keep enjoying the activities. We also chose the photo service and were very happy with it. It allowed us to simply enjoy the experience without constantly worrying about taking pictures, and we now have beautiful memories from the trip. Overall, it was a fun and well-organised trip, and we would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Phuket.

Couldn't fault anything ! It was perfect. The tour guide P was so helpful and paid extra attention to my daughter who is 6. The smaller group felt like we could get on board and off board much quicker. Also if you don't like very big crowds the extra price is worth it. The snorkeling was surreal, but I wish we had a little bit longer for this activity. Everything you need is provided on board, the lunch is good and overall a perfect day.

It was a great trip to explore Phi Phi islands. Our tour guide Goodies was very engaging and the time we spent in each location felt like the right time without rushing and enough time to enjoy each location. It was not peak season but we were lucky with the weather not too.

Very bumpy on the speedboat and it took around an hour to get to our first stop. The adults were given motion sickness tablets but unfortunately kids couldn't take them. My eldest boy doesn't usually get sea sick but unfortunately was very sick on the boat. Apart from that, we had a lovely day, special shout out to our tour guide Sea, my youngest son loves her. She took him out with a life jacket on to swim with the fish and was very patient and kind with him, he was so sad when the tour was finished. We had food at the Hilton on Phi Phi and got to swim in their pool for a while. Maya Bay was beautiful, overall a great day was had by all and wonderful memories made.
Greetings from V. Marine Tour, Thank you for your kind feedback. We sincerely apologize for the discomfort caused by the bumpy boat ride and are sorry to hear your son felt unwell during the journey. We are delighted that you still had a lovely day overall. Your kind words about our guide, Sea, are truly appreciated, and we’re pleased she made such a positive impact on your family. We’re also glad you enjoyed the visit to Maya Bay and created wonderful memories together. We hope to welcome you again for an even smoother and more enjoyable experience.
Even if you arrive at 7am in Maya Bay, it is already full of tourists. P, Yod & the rest of the staff were very helpful. Lunch buffet was also good. Nice beaches and unforgettable experience!
