Fantastic 5.0
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.

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!

What to know before visiting Ko Yao

What to do in Ko Yao year-round

Ko Yao is best known for Tours followed by Water activities, with boat trips, island-hopping and guided day tours dominating bookings. Demand rises and falls through the year: historic Klook booking data shows clear peaks in June, September and October and a deep lull in December, so the busiest months cluster around late summer and early autumn. Use that rhythm to plan: decide whether you want lively peak-season energy or quieter off-peak relaxation. All claims above are based on Klook booking data.

When to visit and what to expect

Peak months on Klook are June, September and October, while December is the quietest month; demand is a seasonal pattern in historical Klook booking data. Prices move across the year too: the data show September and October among the most affordable months and November as the priciest, so crowd levels and prices sometimes diverge — you can find lower median prices in some months that are still busy. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for September or October; for peak-season atmosphere expect June or November.

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, August 2025 – June 2026.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers here book close to travel dates — on average about 2 days ahead — so you can be flexible when planning short trips to Ko Yao, though peak months from the calendar are when booking earlier pays. The earliest planners typically book around 8 days out, so if you’re travelling in June, September or October consider locking in popular tours a week ahead. Use Klook to compare options and reserve spots quickly at the typical pace of other Malaysian travellers; these recommendations come from Klook booking data and help you balance flexibility with booking certainty.
