Exceptional Island Day Trip – Unforgettable Experience with Boat #12! ​Highlights of the Tour ​Outstanding Crew & Guide: Huge shoutout to Pola—easily the best tour guide out there—and the incredible crew on Boat #12. Having done this full-day trip once before, this crew made my second time truly exceptional. ​Extremely Toddler-Friendly: The crew went above and beyond to take extra care of my 2-year-old son, making travel effortless for us and even helping him swim safely in the sea. ​Seamless Logistics: On-time hotel pickup and drop-off made the whole day completely stress-free. ​Delicious Food & Refreshments: Generous, quality options throughout the day, including a great breakfast, fantastic lunch, fresh fruits, and endless drinks. ​Pro Tip for First-Timers ​Book the Catamaran: If it's your first time taking this trip, definitely book the catamaran option—the extra stability makes for a much smoother and more comfortable ride on the water.

our group really enjoyed the boat tour! we got direct pick up from our resort (Panan Krabi Resort). itinerary: we didn’t stop at the maya bay since it was closed but our guide extended our lunch period so we were able to walk around the beach that we had lunch at and spent more time in bamboo island for more swimming and lounging. it was a great experience especially for someone who’s not a good swimmer (wear your lifejacket). scenic views on board: one point to add is if you’re in the jumbo size boat, it’s hard get a view during stopovers or entire ride if you’re sitting in the back. if you mainly there for the activities like swimming and snorkelling you don’t need to sit at the front (also can be too “bumpy bumpy” as per our guide 😂).

Loved the whole experience. Maya Bay was stunning and not crowded, we got an amazing photo spot. Loved the snorkeling experience and the guide was really friendly and helpful.

Very amazing boat trip, great staff, beautiful location, many opportunities to swim and look at the beautiful scenery

Got a good rate, they did fumble with my pickup but once contacted they assured to pay the cab fare to the Royal marine and I barely made in time, reservation team cordination is Excellent the minute I came to the pickup they approached the driver and paid the cab fare. 5/5 on Service its exceptional. Waiting area is new and well maintained, provided decent western breakfast, snacks, coffee, tea, restrooms etc much better than most others I have seen on Google. Catamaran best among the ones I saw that's not operated by Sawanu, guides and staff in the catamaran are friendly, explained everything neat, provided assistance whenever required. Lunch buffet, had international buffet, but served their purpose halal food with rice, chicken curry, salad, Pad Thai, chicken soup, Spaghetti, coffee, tea, and neat restrooms were provided. There is a seperate section for vegetarians. Took to all the Islands, had the slide as the last point before arriving to Phuket.

Very organised (pick up/drop off included), informative, comfortable seat/ride. quick/efficient/on time. plenty stops/time to enjoy snorkeling, take photos, jet ski and have morning tea and lunch. Host was awesome/kind, crew were very friendly, patient, helpful. Lunch was delicious. Snorkel and life jacket provided. Overall 10 star experience.

It was an interesting experience for our family of 5 to go on this tour, we got to see the beautiful water of Phi Phi and it was amazing! the buffet lunch did not disappoint, it was hot food and it taste good! our tour guide Nana is also helpful and friendly! This is our first tour as a family and it went as well as expected. you would think that 45min to 1hr was long at each location, but time flies by so quickly, to see more and experience more. I would say, if you bring children, make sure you bring lots of snacks, it can be tiring for them for a full day tour. I think for our first time experience with a tour group, it wasn’t bad at all. They are punctual and on time and all the transitioning is smooth. even though we were late at one point, they were kind to wait for us! There is one cost we didn’t anticipate, to rent the long boat at the Phi Le La Ko, so the boat can take you to visit around the island to the shallow water. we paid 3000ThB for our family, so just a heads up!

Boat condition: Clean and tidy. They provided drinks at every scenic spot, and even watermelon at the end. Scenery from the boat: Mostly ocean and rock formations. Tour guides: Very energetic. I remember there were two guides, the female one was called Sexy (she said our group was the 'Sexy Family'), and the male one was O. It happened to be raining that day, and O was super hyper, dancing on Bamboo Island. O was also very dedicated to helping us take photos. Safety: Snorkeling included life vests, so it wasn't dangerous. Itinerary: During snorkeling, the guide wore flippers and pulled a large floating board. We held onto the board and put our heads down to look at the fish. There was only one snorkeling session, but it was enough. There weren't a huge number of fish, but there were some, along with many sea urchins and even clownfish. I didn't see the clownfish myself, but the guide took my phone underwater and photographed them for me to see. They were very cute swimming around the coral. Additionally, there was one part of the itinerary where some people paid the guide extra to go up onto a wooden boat for photos. We didn't pay extra, so we just jumped into the sea to swim (wearing life vests).

Great tour, for a solo traveler I felt safe and comfortable throughout the day. A bit tiring but it’s worth every second. Thank you a million times to everyone present on the boat for their help and service! boat condition: 10/10 safety: 10/10 guide: 10/10
