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 and when the crowds come
Ko Yao is best known for island tours and water activities, with Tours dominating bookings and Water activities a smaller but notable niche. The island’s year has a clear high point in September, when demand spikes sharply, and a deep lull in August — Klook booking data shows September as the peak month and August as the trough. Pack activities around that rhythm: if you want lively island-hopping and busy tour departures, aim for the peak season; if you prefer quieter beaches and more space on the water, visit in quieter months. Decide between lively peak-season energy or low‑crowd relaxation. Based on Klook booking data.
Best months to visit and price rhythm
September is the busiest month for Ko Yao — Klook booking data marks it as the peak month — while August is by far the quietest. Prices across the year are uneven: median prices dip around September and stay low through October, then jump to their highest in November. That means the busiest month also happens to be one of the most affordable, while November brings higher prices with milder demand. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider September–October; for peak-season atmosphere without the lowest prices, plan around November.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | PHP 1,427 |
| February | Busier than usual | PHP 1,606 |
| March | Busier than usual | PHP 1,606 |
| April | About average | PHP 1,249 |
| May | Busier than usual | PHP 1,368 |
| June | Quieter than usual | PHP 1,368 |
| July | Very quiet | PHP 1,546 |
| August | Very quiet | PHP 1,308 |
| September | Peak demand | PHP 1,249 |
| October | Quieter than usual | PHP 1,249 |
| November | Busier than usual | PHP 4,044 |
| December | Very quiet | PHP 3,806 |
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 the Philippines
Most travellers book at short notice: people typically secure experiences about 1 day ahead, though the earliest planners book roughly 6 days out. That means you can be flexible and often find last‑minute options, but booking a little earlier helps in the busiest months like September when tours fill faster. Use Klook to compare typical prices and available time slots, lock in a specific boat or tour on higher‑demand dates, and check listings a few days before departure to snag deals or secure preferred times. Based on Klook booking data.
