The team was awesome. Great guide. One thing to remind that the trip will take 10.5 including hotel pick-up drop
Dear Amarty, Thank you for the kind words about our team and guide! We're glad you had a great experience exploring the islands. You’re absolutely right to mention the total time. While the tour itself is a set duration, the total day can reach 10.5 hours depending on the traffic conditions and the distance of your hotel from the pier. We appreciate you sharing that tip to help future guests plan their day! Best regards, Thailand Tours Team
Yo-yo was amazing! Although the ride there was pretty bumpy, the experience itself was incredible. We were taken care of, the staff were incredibly kind and patient and we had unlimited Pepsi/water. Their knowledge is profound and I would 100% reccomend booking here!!
Dear Jazz, Thank you for the "100% recommendation!" We are so glad you had an incredible time exploring Phi Phi and the islands with us. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Yo-yo and the rest of the crew—they’ll be thrilled to know their knowledge and patience made your trip special. We look forward to seeing you on the water again soon! Best regards, Thailand Tours Team
Despite some excellent trips with Viator, this one wasn't. I cannot comment on the tour itself - because we had to abandon before boarding the speedboat. It was sold as a "7-hour trip" but when we reached the pier, we were told it would be 8.5-9 hours! Unfortunately, this wouldn't have allowed us sufficient time to get back for our cruise ship departure. A HUGE disappointment, as this was due to be a highlight of our holiday. We'd taken every precaution to ensure timings would work, including an excellent taxi driver to get us to the pier and back. We are hugely grateful to him, for noticing and advising us of the potential risk. Albeit Viator were honourable enough to refund our fee in full (albeit inside their 24 hour stipulation) following our complaint - we incurred a $150 taxi bill and will be always disappointed in missing the trip 😢 VIATOR..... please, please, be more acurate with your advice on timings 🙏🏻 We book these trips a long way in advance, often alongside other criteria, thus relying totally on the description of the trip.
The Viator posting for this trip is misleading. It says to be at the dock at 9am and the excursion is 6.5 hours. We booked this tour based on this information as it would give us adequate time to return to our cruise ship which was 1 hour drive on the other side of the island. We arrived via cab at 8:50am to check-in. We were told we would be on the 10am ship and it would be back at 6:00pm. Do the math! That is not 6.5 hours. Our cruise ship sailed at 6:15pm. We could not go on the excursion and make it back in time. We were told we would not be getting a refund. The staff were very rude and dismissive. We are very disappointed.
Dear Thomas, The tour details on Viator explicitly state the full duration and schedule of this excursion. It is the responsibility of the traveler to ensure their personal schedule, especially tight cruise ship departures, aligns with the tour timing provided before booking. Because this information is clearly listed, we cannot offer refunds for last-minute cancellations due to personal scheduling conflicts. Regarding the staff, we maintain a professional standard and simply reiterated the policy you agreed to at the time of booking. Thailand Tours Team
These poor islands are so over trodden by humanity that it's a crime I am so sorry I partook. Beautiful space being destroyed
Dear Barry, thank you for your feedback. We truly appreciate your concern for the beautiful environment of the Phi Phi Islands. As locals, we also deeply love these islands and want to see them preserved for future generations. While the popularity of the islands does bring challenges with overcrowding, we do our best to follow all National Park guidelines and practice responsible tourism to minimize our footprint. We hope that as regulations evolve, a better balance can be found between sharing this beauty and protecting it. We appreciate you visiting and sharing your perspective.
This was a disaster!! There was no communication with the tour guide! I reached out numerous times to Make sure there would be someone to meet us at the pier. Then the very last day mind you after they charged my credit card and I could not get my money back they reached out to me and advised they would meet us at the port but at a time when the cruise ship hadn’t even arrived yet. I immediately reached out to Viator customer service and they said we will reach out to the tour guide and ask for a refund! They got back to me shortly after and said “Sorry they said no refund” ! Very very disappointed in Viator and the tour company that represented them!
Dear Sheryl_T, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent tour. i just can say next time before book anything with anyone check more. Sincerely, The Thailand Tours Team
The trip was good but remember your travel sickness pills as the sea was really rough,the crew were very friendly and knowledgeable about the islands we went to,the scenery was beautiful

We always monitor conditions closely to ensure the safest and most enjoyable experience possible, and we appreciate your understanding that the sea can be unpredictable. We hope to see you on another tour soon! Best,
Experience was ok boat was very low quality and price was definitely on the higher side they take extra price for tax which is actually included in most other tours and also pickup drop charges which are generally included
Hi Prakhar Shukla from India ! You book without transfer and you clearly know that but then you ask us to complimentary you with a free transfer, This seems not to be fair if you are unhappy for this and give us the false review! And you also late than meeting time which we have to waiting for you .. next time if you wish to book any tour from anywhere my best suggestion is to read it carefully and try to be on time
We saw caves, cliffs, beaches, and vibrant coral reefs — all in one trip. The team made sure everything ran smoothly. The snorkeling gear was clean and worked great, and the lunch spot was surprisingly good. Would go again!
Hi nirlendus2025, Thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the wide variety of sights, from **caves and cliffs to vibrant coral reefs**. It's great to know that our team ensured everything ran smoothly, and we're especially glad you appreciated the **clean snorkeling gear** and the **lunch spot**! We can't wait to welcome you back again on another trip! Sincerely, Thailand Tours team
Each island had its own charm. Maya Bay was postcard-perfect, and Monkey Beach was both fun and surprising (yep, monkeys everywhere). Staff were helpful and made sure we all felt comfortable and safe on board.
hat's wonderful to hear! It sounds like you got to experience the unique beauty of each spot. I'm especially glad our staff made you feel comfortable and safe throughout your trip.
