Phi Phi & Bamboo Islands Escape en catamarán de lujo

We went on a bunch of boat trips during our two weeks in Phuket. This was by far the best run one. The Royal Marina is the best departure spot to leave from, clean and very high end. The boats are very well maintained, fast and don't smell like oil like some of the other boats. Po and Pone were very good guides and organizers. We went everywhere we could and luckily got a sunny day (even with decent wind/waves). Thankfully we got a lot of time on Bamboo Island which is by far the best uncrowded beach island with perfect turquoise water. The lunch on Phi Phi Don was excellent, far better than the other tours that actually made us sick (avoid the Sea Gypsies / floating docks, it's a floating slum).

I bought a trip from you with a maximum 15 participants. On the day there was between 60 and 70 on a very uncomfortable boat with little space. Also the Traditional Thai lunch at a seaside restaurant was dreadful and nowhere near traditional Thai. It was a poor cattle market buffet. Very poor

We booked the trip through Expedia and were glad we booked a full day instead of the half day! We were staying near Patong so had a bus picking us up. Once at the wharf we had a lovely snack and then into the boat. Fun ride in the front of the boat to several islands and some fantastic snorkelling - lovely and clean, plenty of fish and reef and not crowded. The Tour guide Jennifer was fun and made sure we all had the best day. Well worth the money and a long outstanding day. Thanks IAsia Thailand

Considering the previous tours, where I found myself particularly well, I was full of expectations for this new tour; moreover, with a much higher cost than other tours done (1,200 bath vs 3,900 bath), I expected a much higher Service and experience! However, I was very disappointed with this tour...the tour was for phi phi island...and most of the time was spent in other islands: one where you were besieged to buy something (but not by the tour staff), the other where you had lunch (the worst of the tours made), with the dirty beach, as well as the water (because of the different boats)...the guide often “heavy” for his attitudes and mannerisms that sometimes were nice, others but annoying. Only positive notes: the commander, very good, bamboo island (where we were only 30 '), beautiful, and the staff always very helpful and kind.

The views on the islands are marvelous - and that's the essence. The pickup/dropoff was on time, the guide took good care of us. However - there is nothing "deluxe" about this trip. 15 ppl on a small speedboat is a little too many, stopping on islands like "Phi Phi Don" or "Khai" just to make the count 6 is a misunderstanding and makes the trip last 2-3hrs more. All things considered, it's still worth it.

Island Hopper offers an amazing experience, a must do for anyone visiting Phuket!! There are many different companies offering Phi Phi island tours, but we chose this one because it's the best value for money. You pay a little extra than other companies, but you get to see more islands as the tour lasts about 2-2.5 hours more than the others. Keep in mind that as the tour lasts a whole day, you will probably have an early night! As you visit six islands, you get to spend from 30-60 minutes at some of them. Some are only for sightseeing, as monkey beach can be dangerous and Maya bay is closed at the moment for rehabilitation. Personally, we found the time spent on each island enough, as we preferred to see as many as possible. If you would like to have more than an hour to relax on each island, this tour is probably not for you. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Special thanks to our tour guide lady-man Miss Jenifer, for making our day super fun with her humour! We recommend this tour 100%
