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.

Had a fantastic experience on the Phi Phi Islands tour! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with crystal-clear turquoise waters, beautiful beaches and stunning limestone cliffs. Every stop was picturesque and made for amazing photos.
The tour was well organised, and the hotel pick-up and drop-off service made everything so convenient and hassle-free. The crew was friendly and helpful throughout the trip, ensuring everyone had an enjoyable experience.
Definitely one of the highlights of my Phuket holiday! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Phuket. Would love to visit these beautiful islands again!

We were blessed with great weather, and it was a truly wonderful experience. Our guide, Milkyway, was especially kind, gentle, and an excellent guide. I was also relieved that the other guides, crew, and captain were all very pleasant. Seastar also offers tours to places like the Similan Islands and Surin Island, so I'd love to join another one when I visit Phuket next time.
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 year-round
Ko Yao centres on Tours and Water activities, with guided day trips and marine experiences shaping the island rhythm. Klook booking data shows Tours account for the largest share of bookings, so expect organised island tours to drive peak-season activity, while Water activities appear as a smaller but notable offering. The demand pattern swings through the year, hitting a strong high in September and an extreme trough in August; use that rhythm when planning. Decide whether you want bustling peak-season energy or quieter island calm. Based on Klook booking data.
Best months to visit Ko Yao
September stands out as the busiest month for visitors, while August is the quietest according to Klook booking data; that contrast is extreme in demand. Prices shift across the year too: typical paid prices are lowest around September and October and jump to an upper band in November and December. Where demand and price match: September combines very high demand with some of the lowest median prices on record, a divergence that reflects how offers and timing interact. For lower prices and smaller crowds choose October or September; for peak-season atmosphere choose November.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | HKD 187 |
| February | Busier than usual | HKD 211 |
| March | Busier than usual | HKD 211 |
| April | About average | HKD 164 |
| May | Busier than usual | HKD 179 |
| June | Quieter than usual | HKD 179 |
| July | Very quiet | HKD 203 |
| August | Very quiet | HKD 172 |
| September | Peak demand | HKD 164 |
| October | Quieter than usual | HKD 164 |
| November | Busier than usual | HKD 530 |
| December | Very quiet | HKD 499 |
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 Hong Kong
Most travellers lock experiences in at short notice: people typically book around 1 day ahead, though some early planners book up to six days out, based on Klook booking data. That pattern means you can often be flexible and book a day or two before travel, but during the peak months—especially September—booking earlier pays off because demand spikes sharply. Use Klook to compare timed tours and water activities, pick options with free cancellation where possible, and secure the ticket once your dates are fixed to avoid disappointment. Practical, flexible booking on Klook makes island trips easier.
