• 5Great boat tour

  This was my third phi phi boat tour and by far the best experience I’d had. The trip was brilliant the staff, the tour itself, the on going drinks and snacks the lunch buffet. Yoyo the tour guide was amazing, funny and informative. We loved our day tour thank you guys :)

• 5Spectacular scenery!

  The scenery was spectacular! We paid extra for the long boat at the lagoon and the views were breathtaking! This excursion was very well organized. The three stops were unique and beautiful. Lunch was really good too. You could choose from Indian and Thai food, and had vegetarian options. Highly recommend.

• 4It was ok

  The bus and the driver to the marina was very good. We had to pay 400 baht extra at the start for the visit as well as 300 baht for the longtail boat (the total for the longtail boat was about 1800 baht) the speedboat was ok but i wouldnt recommend it for those who are old age or have stomach problems. The islands were beautiful but we couldnt visit maya as it was closed

• 1Please check weather conditions yourself before booking!!! Very dangerous

  I would not recommend booking with this company as they do not care about weather conditions. They will set sail and risk a capsized boat full of tourists than risk losing a day of profits. My experience with them was awful, people were screaming, crying, throwing up, and begging god to get us back safe. We experienced high winds, very choppy water, and rain. I woke up the next day with knots on my head from being tossed around and bruising all over my body. Please don’t support companies who put tourists life’s at risk. Everyone on my boat thought we were going to capsize and die:/

• 1The truth behind this tour

  When we arrived we were instantly charged a fee for “entrance” to the national park. I believe that should have been included but they charged us 400baht extra regardless. When you get to the national park, no one is checking anyway and when you pay the additional fee you aren’t given anything to indicate that you have. The tour then starts off with a 50 minute talk where one of the staff member tries to coerce you into buying a hat and beach shoes. He will then say you can’t wear your shoes on the sand and it’s best to have shoes because “sea urchins” will go into your feet. While this may only happen at one beach you are allowed to wear whatever shoes you want. No one stops you. Again this is their way of forcing you to buy their shoes. The breakfast is very very average if not disappointing. Getting on the speed boat, it is very inaccessible and people are prone to slipping. The boat is very crowded and over sold. The islands are beautiful and there’s a decent amount of time to explore. On our trip they said we can’t go into the Viking cave and you will glare at it for two mins from 100 metres away. Quite disappointing. A lot of the time they will say you will need to take a long boat into areas which is extra charge. When we arrived at the island for lunch I cannot express how disappointed and disgusted I was at the venue, food, hygiene and the way people were eating. The food was uncovered buffet and everything was chilli. It is all Indian food and limited Thai. There is no where to sit as there are more than four tour groups in the restaurant and also people from the outside. People were eating with their fingers which they considered normal. The stench was horrid and there was no ventilation. Truly a traumatising experience. It’s best if you do not eat at the place they include in your package. If you are going to choose this tour please have no expectations for the service. Otherwise the islands you visit are beautiful, no testament to the tour organisers.
