Phi Phi, Maya Bay et Khai Islands Tour par Seastar Andaman de Khao Lak

Our family had an incredible experience with Sea Star Excursions! We did a full day of island hopping around the Phi Phi Islands, and every stop was beautiful, well organized, and memorable. While we enjoyed all of the islands, Maya Bay was easily the highlight of the trip. Not only is it one of the most stunning places we’ve ever visited, but we also appreciated learning about the conservation efforts and blacktip reef shark research taking place there. It was inspiring to see such a beautiful area being protected for future generations. We also loved the lagoon and highly recommend adding the longtail boat ride. It was absolutely gorgeous and gave us some of our favorite photos from the entire trip. The snorkeling stops were fantastic, with crystal-clear water and plenty of marine life to see. The lunch was delicious, the speedboat was comfortable and well shaded, and the entire experience felt very professional and organized. In fact, the boat ride was so smooth and comfortable that it reminded us of traveling on an airplane between destinations. A special thank you to our guides, Maya and Mina, who were friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating throughout the day. They made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. We were also impressed by the constant refreshments and snacks provided at nearly every stop. Our family felt genuinely cared for from beginning to end. My kids particularly loved all of the Thai candy. If you’re looking to experience some of the most beautiful islands Thailand has to offer, I cannot recommend Sea Star Excursions enough. This was a first-class experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Thailand!

Beautiful experience, well organized, punctual transfer from the hotel, beautiful places and good lunch on the beach. Highly recommended!!!

We recently took a family day trip to Phi Phi Islands, and despite some afternoon rain, it was a fantastic experience that we’d highly recommend! Opting for the catamaran over a speedboat was a smart move, especially with the weather turning bad in the afternoon. The catamaran’s stability made the 1hr ride smooth, and we barely noticed the choppy seas—a huge plus for anyone prone to seasickness. If you’re unsure about motion sickness, I’d strongly suggest taking seasickness pills before boarding, just to be safe. Preparation Tips: Invest in a waterproof bag for your clothes and belongings—snorkeling means everything gets wet, even with the catamaran’s protection. A waterproof phone case was a game-changer for us, letting us snap great underwater photos without worry. Crew & Organization: The crew was excellent, professional, and kept everything running smoothly. The terminal can feel chaotic at first, but the staff’s clear directions (and handy wristbands) made it easy to know who was on our boat and who to follow on land. The wristbands were a brilliant touch for keeping groups organized. Food & Drinks: Lunch was sufficient, offering a halal meal that satisfied everyone, including our picky 12- and 15-year-olds. The kids loved that water and sodas were freely available on board all day. We brought snacks for the kids, but you can also buy food at various stops (cash and credit cards accepted). There are ATMs available at the lunch stop if you need cash. Highlights: We were lucky with high tide, allowing a quick stop at Monkey Beach for photos—definitely a highlight, though the stop is brief. We’d pre-booked a small dragon boat for the lagoon, but with the high tide, it wasn’t necessary. If you’re visiting during low tide, I’d recommend booking the dragon boat (available at the terminal) for a better lagoon experience. Disappointment: The only letdown was missing Maya Bay which is closed annually in August and September for environmental recovery. We’d hoped to at least snap photos at the entrance, but the rough afternoon weather prevented it. This wasn’t the tour company’s fault, just bad timing on our behalf. Overall: Despite the weather and missing Maya Bay, the trip was a hit for our family. The catamaran’s comfort, great crew, and thoughtful organization made it memorable. We’d highly recommend this Phi Phi Island day trip to families or anyone looking for a fun, well-run adventure. Just come prepared with seasickness pills, waterproof gear, and realistic expectations about weather and closures!

So this tour wasn’t for me, however I wouldn’t tell anybody not to do it, for me it was just a bit chaotic and busy, I think if I were to do it again I’d book privately or a much smaller group, as a introvert it just felt very over stimulating from the get go. The staff were all amazing, super friendly, made everyone laugh so I can fault them at all, just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Had an ok day doing this tour. I just found the check in procedure when you got to the dock to be a bit chaotic and think it could be managed a bit calmer and smoother. Staff onboard the boat were great and were extremely friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The tour itself was good, although it is a long day. The stop for lunch the food was good and enjoyable.

Was a good tour and well managed. The stop for lunch was nice and got to see some amazing sights and get some really good photos. Staff onboard the boat were fantastic and made the day even better. Only thing that I’ve marked it down for is the 2/2.5 hour van trip each way that isn’t very clear when you book.

Fantastic day, was really hot day but so nice cooling off in beautiful beaches. Buffet lunch was delicious. Guide Suzy was fantastic, very informative and funny lady. We were kept refreshed whole day with cold water and cola, also lovely fruit and sweet treats. Such a shame we couldn't swim at Maya Bay but totally understand they have to protect such a beautiful bay. Took so many photos, such beautiful scenery. Hats off to excellent captain, so many boats out there. Highly recommend
