The Phi Phi Island day tour booked through Klook offers an unforgettable experience of Thailand’s stunning islands. The tour typically includes visits to iconic spots such as Maya Bay, Bamboo Island, and Monkey Beach, with plenty of opportunities for snorkeling in crystal-clear waters teeming with vibrant marine life. The speedboat rides between islands are smooth and fast, allowing ample time to soak up the natural beauty and relax on white sandy beaches. Tour guides are knowledgeable, friendly, and provide clear instructions along with interesting information about the islands. Meals and refreshments served during the trip are decent, with options for buffet lunch on board the boat. The tour is well organized with hotel transfers from popular Phuket locations, making it hassle-free to join. A key highlight is visiting Maya Bay, a famous beach surrounded by towering limestone cliffs made famous by the movie "The Beach."

There is a dog roaming the premise, may be good to inform the staff if you do not like to be around dogs. Mosquitoes around, please bring insect repellent. Had fun cooking and got a little recipe book at the end of class too!

to be honest there are so many different island tours available on klook & in ao nang, but i booked this on a whim & i’m very glad i did! hotel pickup & drop-off, the guides explained in english very well, and the snorkeling experience + free time given to us to venture the island was all perfect! 😊👍🏼💯 of course, the lunch buffet was delicious too! thank you for this wonderful experience.

The tour was so much fun because I got to do precious things that I usually can't, like feeding the elephants, playing in the mud, and bathing them. I was healed by interacting with the elephants, and it became a memorable day. The facility staff was also kind, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.

Sudapee, from Sweet South Sea, picked us up on time. Haron thekayaking guide was patient, soft spoken and experienced. we encountered 3 monkeys while kayaking in the mangrove on our way back to pier. Haron swiftly kept away the fruits in the container and instructed us not to move. One monkey did jump onto one of the kayaks. Luckily we were all safe and unharmed.
