Things to know before booking your Phi Phi Island tour

Budget vs. luxury

  • Looking for an affordable way to experience Phi Phi? Budget-friendly tours (฿750 onwards) cover the must-see spots but come with basic boat amenities and simpler meal options.
  • If you're after the full island experience with roomier boats, gourmet meals, and premium service, a luxury tour (฿3,700+) is well worth the upgrade.
  • Tip: Want a balance of comfort and cost? Mid-range tours (~฿1,600) offer better seating, upgraded meals, and snorkeling equipment without breaking the bank.

Half-day vs. Full-day tours

  • Short on time? A half-day tour (6-8 hours) lets you check off Phi Phi's biggest highlights quickly – ideal for those with packed schedules.
  • Want the full experience? A full-day tour (~10–12 hours) gives you extra time to snorkel, relax, and explore at your own pace.

Boat types

  • Speedboat (45 min-1 hr) is best for those who value time over comfort. Get to Phi Phi fast and make the most of your day.
  • Catamaran (up to 90 min) is ideal if you prefer a more relaxed, comfortable journey. They offer more stability, better seating, and a smoother ride.
  • Whale Shark Boat (up to 60 min) combines speed, stunning views, and endless water fun with a rooftop deck and onboard water slide.
  • Longtail Boat (10–30 min) from Phi Phi offers a shared adventure in a traditional open-air vessel.
