Fantastic jet ski experience in Phuket! The staff is kind and safety-conscious; they gave us all the instructions before we set off. We navigated among the islands, admiring the turquoise waters and wonderful tropical landscapes. It's an adrenaline-filled activity, but also a lot of fun. Highly recommended for all adventure lovers!

Overall, the experience was good. The guide was very attentive and thoughtful, and the crew was polite. The fruits, snacks, and drinks provided were also quite comprehensive. The itinerary included Coral Island's Banana Beach, Honeymoon Island, and sea fishing. My only concern was that when discussing the itinerary with the guide on the day of the trip, I felt that if I didn't voice my own ideas, they would tend to simplify the itinerary as much as possible. This is something that could be improved. However, the overall experience was very good.

this place was so awesome that I fear it has ruined all hotels for me. it made me second guess every other 5 star review I have ever given because this place just went above and beyond in every aspect. lots of entertainment, food and activities. I only wish I could have stayed longer. they do provide transportation arrangements to other islands, not just back to Phuket. I loved the little cars that would drive us around the resort. loved their library! books in multiple languages. gift shop. multiple restaurants. buffet as well as à la carte. late night services. beautiful pools. I just can’t say enough good things about this place. did I mention gorgeous koi ponds and streams.

The view is breathtaking, and the staff's service mindset is exceptional! We will definitely be back. The breakfast options are clean and healthy, complimentary kayaks and SUP boards are provided, and there are lots of hornbills.

Everything was absolutely amazing! Our guide exceeded all expectations with his great sense of humour, engaging personality, and impressive knowledge. You could genuinely feel how much he cared about everyone’s safety and comfort throughout the trip. The overall atmosphere, the experience, and the energy were simply fantastic. Everything was perfectly organised, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

We had such an amazing time on our island tour in Phuket! Everything was great from start to finish, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip.
A special shoutout to our tour guide, Bobby, who made the whole experience even better! He was so funny, friendly and attentive, always making sure everyone was having a good time and felt comfortable. He brought such a good vibe to the tour and made the day even more enjoyable. You can really tell he cares about the people on his tour and wants everyone to have the best experience possible.
Also, a big thank you to all the staff and crew who helped make everything run smoothly. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful, and we really appreciated all their effort.
Overall, we had an incredible experience and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Phuket! If you get Bobby as your guide, you’re in for a great time. Thank you to Bobby and the whole team for making our day so memorable! ❤️

this trip was completely amazing! the staff were super nice and friendly even the group of people were so respectful and nice. whenever, I want to book a trip I will always choose them as I believe it’s better than booking a tour from patong because the majority of tourists from patong are so carless not organized and disrespectful.
Ko Yao at a glance
Quick facts about Ko Yao
General info
What to know before visiting Ko Yao
What to do in Ko Yao
Ko Yao is best known for guided Tours and Water activities, with Tours the dominant booking category through the year and Water activities popular among smaller groups. Demand on Klook rises and falls seasonally: historical booking data shows a major surge in September and a deep lull in August. Choose activities that match that rhythm — day tours and short excursions suit the quieter months, while the September peak is when the island feels busiest and most atmospheric. Decide between calmer low-season days or the lively September peak. Based on Klook booking data.
When to visit Ko Yao
September is the clear busy month, showing a strong spike in demand, while August is historically the quietest month. Prices move through the year too: November shows the highest typical price and October the lowest median price, so there are months when crowd levels and prices diverge — for example September is very busy but not the priciest. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for October or the quieter months like August and July; for the peak-season atmosphere, plan for September. Choose between lower-cost quieter months or September's peak atmosphere.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | AUD 36 |
| February | Busier than usual | AUD 40 |
| March | Busier than usual | AUD 48 |
| April | About average | AUD 31 |
| May | Busier than usual | AUD 31 |
| June | Quieter than usual | AUD 34 |
| July | Very quiet | AUD 39 |
| August | Very quiet | AUD 45 |
| September | Peak demand | AUD (no data) |
| October | Quieter than usual | AUD 31 |
| November | Busier than usual | AUD 175 |
| December | Very quiet | AUD 34 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers book quite close to travel dates — on average about 1 day ahead — though a small group plan further out, typically up to six days out. That means you can be flexible and still find experiences, but during the September peak you’ll want to lock favoured tours earlier. Use Klook to check availability and secure the time slots you want, especially for guided Tours that sell out faster. Book with confidence on Klook and pick quieter months if you prefer more space and lower typical prices, or book early for September to avoid disappointment.
