After disembarking, visitors follow the designated walkway through the island to reach the world-famous beach. Along the way, you can enjoy beautiful views and take photos of the surrounding scenery.

5Thailand with Friends
From pick up to drop off was professional and on time. The weather wasn't the best being the monsoon season but we made it work. The sea was a bit bumpy but it was fun and Omar and the other guys were very helpful and fun. The captain that steered the speed boat definitely needs a medal. Will definitely recommend this tour.
5Everything was amazing.
I highly recommend this excursion. We loved everything. The organization was excellent, from the moment you get in the taxi until you arrive at the office. They greet you with a buffet in the morning. Then they prepare the entire trip. It was excellent, very well organized, and then a great buffet. I highly recommend it. My partner and I went today, September 7th, and we loved it. I hope we repeat this tour when we return to Thailand. We loved it!
5Amazing Phi Phi Islands Tour 😍
We had a fantastic day and really enjoyed everything about this tour. The islands were absolutely beautiful, with amazing scenery and crystal-clear water. We also booked the optional traditional longtail boat ride in the lagoon for photos, which was definitely worth it. The pictures turned out great! There was also a photographer on board taking photos throughout the day, and we received free access to all of our photos afterwards, which was a really nice bonus. Lunch was tasty, and we especially loved all the activities available on the catamaran. During the second snorkeling stop, those who didn’t want to snorkel could use the SUP boards, enjoy the water slide from the catamaran, or jump into the sea from the second deck. It was a fun and well-organized day with something for everyone. I would definitely recommend choosing the catamaran tour for visiting the Phi Phi Islands!
5Beautiful
The experience was definitely worth the boat ride. It gets super bumpy so I would recommend taking motion sickness medicine for those with weak stomach.
