March 9, 2026: This was a wonderful tour. We chose the 3-hour tour starting at 6am. The 1st stop was Maya Bay and we were one of the first ones on the island, so it was easy to take photos without anyone in the background. The 2nd stop was Pi Leh Bay, but we couldn't go through it because it was still low tide. Our guide said we could wait until 8:30am/8:40am to be able to go through, but we decided not to since we didn't want to wait an hour. To be fair, we didn't spend too much time at Maya Bay, so that's why we were early at Pi Leh Bay. We still took nice pictures from the outside. The 3rd stop was Viking Cave and we passed by one other boat here. The 4th stop was Monkey Bay. Our guide said we were lucky to see so many monkeys around 8-8:30am as they typically don't come out this early. We were the only ones there and the guide let us feed them pineapples. Overall, I highly recommend this tour! :)
Our captain was great! We booked a private tour at 3pm and everything went smoothly. Missed the crowds and the heat. Also got a perfect sunset. Definitely recommend 😊
First time and got confused that we actually need to arrange ferry/speedboat to the meet up point from where we stayed. Agency was very kind to assist us in how to get to meetup point. Boat captain was very patient and waited for us. He was very friendly and introduce each point to us. As 3 of us are non-swimmers and first time snorkeling, he gave very clear instructions what to do and not to and took care of us very well. He cut fruits and served us after snorkelling. It was a fabulous experience for us. Excellent service and if we are coming back to Krabi again, definitely will book this private tour again from the same agency.
Before departure, they thoughtfully contacted us with detailed explanations of the meeting point and time, reminding us of what we needed to prepare ourselves. The boat had cold water and fruit ready. The captain was very nice, waiting for us at the meeting point ahead of time. He took great care of everyone throughout the trip. We saw many beautiful sights, snorkeled in the sea and saw many fish. The captain even prepared toast to attract a large group of fish. Stepping onto the beautiful sands of Maya Bay, this trip was so worth it!
unique and unforgettable experiences. Everything was fantastic and intuitive, our guide Abu was the best in the world, we couldn't communicate much, but he made every attempt and effort. Always ready and willing, we will carry him in our hearts.
Excellent experience. We were able to enjoy Maya Bay being among the first. The snorkeling and the bay were beautiful. The boat was beautiful. Boat condition: 9 Panoramic views on board: 10 Guide: 8 Itinerary: 9 Safety: 10
Our private boat trip was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The driver/guide was incredibly kind, friendly, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We were taken to the best spots at just the right times, avoiding crowds and really getting to soak in the beauty around us. The highlight were definitely Maya Bay and the sunset. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something special!
Our experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The tour guide was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire trip. The itinerary was well organized, and we had plenty of time to enjoy the breathtaking scenery at the surrounding islands. The private longtail boat was comfortable, clean, and provided a truly authentic local experience. The transfer service was smooth and punctual, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Phi Phi Island. Excellent service, great value for money, and unforgettable memories. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
The service was excellent. The boat driver was very knowledgeable about the attractions, patient, and kind. Initially, I wanted to cancel because my friend missed the boat, but it wasn't within the cancellation policy. However, the back-office staff were very patient and answered my questions clearly and reasonably. So, we ended up going with another group of friends instead. I was very impressed.
We had the best time on the tour! Bao brought us around Phi Phi. We saw monkeys, snorkeled with sharks, saw beautiful scenery, saw the sunset, ate pineapple and there was a cooler provided to keep our drinks cold. 10/10 experience!
