Reisroute
Maya Bay is één van Thailands meest iconische bestemmingen, wereldwijd erkend na het spelen in de film The Beach. Omlijst door 100 - meter hoge kalkstenen kliffen en sprankelend turquoise water, is deze adembenemende baai een symbool van de Phi Phi eilanden. Tijdens deze luxe jachttour bewondert u Maya Bay terwijl we voorbijvaren zonder te stoppen, omdat de toegang beperkt is om het kwetsbare ecosysteem te behouden. Vanaf het ruime dek kunt u genieten van een ononderbroken uitzicht op de witte zandstranden en smaragdgroene wateren, perfect voor het maken van prachtige foto's. De timing van dit bezoek in de ochtend versterkt de magie, met zacht zonlicht dat weerkaatst op de kalkstenen muren en tropische zee. Hoewel we hier niet stoppen, is de panoramische aanblik van Maya Bay een onvergetelijk hoogtepunt, dat de toon zet voor het avontuur van de dag terwijl u in comfort naar de volgende schilderachtige attractie van de Phi Phi-eilanden vaart.
Net achter Maya Bay ligt de rustige Loh Samah Bay, een kleine maar betoverende baai omringd door steile kliffen en smaragdgroen water. Deze verborgen schat wordt vaak geprezen om zijn kristalheldere en weelderige onderwaterlandschap, waardoor het een populaire plek is om te snorkelen en duiken. Op deze route passeert het jacht zonder te stoppen, waardoor gasten de kans krijgen om de rustige schoonheid te bewonderen terwijl ze genieten van de zachte zeebries aan dek. De dramatische kalksteenformaties die de baai omlijsten creëren een perfect uitzicht op de ansichtkaart, vooral in het ochtendlicht. Als onderdeel van de sightseeingroute voegt Loh Samah Bay een sereen contrast toe aan de grandeur van Maya Bay, waarbij de zachtere, intiemere kant van Phi Phi's natuurlijke wonderen wordt getoond. Hoewel we hier niet van boord gaan, kunnen reizigers genieten van fantastische fotomogelijkheden en een kijkje nemen in de verborgen charme van deze afgelegen lagune terwijl we langsvaren op weg naar Pileh Lagoon.
Pileh Bay staat bekend als de “Emerald Lagoon” en is een van de meest spectaculaire bezienswaardigheden van Phi Phi Lee. Omsloten door torenhoge kalkstenen kliffen die dramatisch uit de zee oprijzen, is de lagune een serene zak van smaragdgroen water dat glinstert onder de zon.Tijdens het ochtendgedeelte van uw tour nadert en passeert het jacht zonder te stoppen, zodat gasten de ongelooflijke schoonheid van de lagune vanaf het water kunnen zien. De beschutte omgeving, met zijn rustige oppervlak en dramatische karstlandschap, creëert een buitenwereldse sfeer, perfect voor het maken van foto's en genieten van de magie van de Andamanse Zee. De timing in het begin van de dag zorgt voor optimaal licht voor fotografie, waarbij de kliffen tinten groen en blauw weerkaatsen over het water. Hoewel binnen zwemmen geen onderdeel is van het programma, is het bekijken van de Pileh Lagoon vanaf de boot een adembenemende ervaring en een hoogtepunt van uw Phi Phi sightseeing avontuur.
De reis gaat verder met een pas langs de fascinerende Vikinggrot, ook wel Tham Phaya Nak genoemd. Deze natuurlijke en culturele site is beroemd om eeuwenoude muurschilderingen die lijken op Vikingschepen en is ook een belangrijke locatie voor het oogsten van eetbare vogelnesten, gekoesterd in de traditionele keuken. De dramatische ingang van de grot, gelegen in steile kalkstenen kliffen, maakt het een onvergetelijk gezicht als het jacht voorbij vaart. Gasten komen er voorbij zonder te stoppen, maar de Gids zal verhalen vertellen over de geschiedenis van de grot, de culturele betekenis en de rol ervan in de lokale tradities. De timing van dit bezoek in de ochtend zorgt voor een grote zichtbaarheid van de rotswanden en de schilderijen die ze beschermen. Hoewel de toegang beperkt is, is het observeren van de Vikinggrot vanaf de zee zowel leerzaam als visueel boeiend, wat een culturele dimensie toevoegt aan het dagschema en de natuurlijke schoonheid in balans brengt met een vleugje uniek erfgoed van Phi Phi.
De tour nadert Phi Phi Don Island en passeert het beroemde Monkey Beach, een klein maar schilderachtig stuk wit zand omlijst door kliffen en tropisch groen. Trouw aan zijn naam, het strand is de thuisbasis van een kolonie van apen die vaak vrij zwerven langs de kustlijn, het vermaken van bezoekers met hun speelse capriolen. Tijdens deze jachttour zullen reizigers Monkey Beach ervaren als een pass by zonder te stoppen, wat een veilige en comfortabele manier biedt om te genieten van het uitzicht van zowel de apen als de natuurlijke schoonheid. Het kristalheldere water en het levendige kustlandschap maken dit een hoogtepunt voor fotografie, met de kans om apen te spotten tegen de prachtige achtergrond van kalkstenen kliffen. Deze attractie combineert plezier en schoonheid en voegt een gevoel van avontuur toe aan de late ochtend sightseeing voordat gasten genieten van snorkelen in nabijgelegen wateren. Hoewel we niet aan land gaan, garandeert het uitzicht vanaf het dek een onvergetelijke en unieke Phi Phi-ervaring.
Na een ochtend sightseeing en snorkelen gaat het jacht voor anker bij Tonsai Bay, het bruisende hart van Phi Phi Don Island. Dit schilderachtige piergebied wordt omgeven door torenhoge kliffen en dient als het bruisende centrum van het eiland, met winkels, cafés en restaurants verspreid over de kustlijn. Hier stappen gasten uit om te genieten van een heerlijk lunchbuffet in een lokaal restaurant, gevolgd door vrije tijd om te ontspannen op het strand, het levendige dorp te verkennen of gewoon te genieten van de tropische eilandvibes. In tegenstelling tot de eerdere attracties is Tonsai Bay de belangrijkste halte van de tour, waardoor reizigers de kans krijgen om te stretchen, dineren en dwalen op hun gemak. De route omvat hier ongeveer twee uur, waardoor een balans tussen sightseeing en ontspanning wordt gegarandeerd. Om 15:15 vertrekt het jacht uit Phi Phi Don, zodat u kunt nadenken over een dag van adembenemende landschappen voordat u om 17:00 terugkeert naar Phuket.

Boat and taxi staff were fantastic. Island itself was a let down-very overcrowded (even in low season) and way too westernised (Burger King/ McDonalds etc), really spoils the natural beauty of the island
Dear Nick_B, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that the boat and taxi staff were fantastic and helped make the service side of your trip enjoyable. We’re sorry to hear that the island experience did not fully meet your expectations, especially due to the crowds and the commercial atmosphere. Phi Phi can be very popular even during quieter months, and we understand how this can affect the natural beauty and peaceful island experience many guests are hoping for. Your comments are truly helpful, and we’ll share them with our local operations team so we can continue improving guest expectations, planning, and overall tour experience wherever possible. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to have another opportunity to offer you a smoother and more enjoyable experience in Thailand.
The tour takes 3 hours to get to the island, so got there by 12, we only did about 40mins of snorkeling then it was lunch time(late). By the time we finished lunch, it is about 3pm which was the scheduled departure going back. So the whole day excursion with only 40 mins activity. The whole trip is not worth it, we got picked up from our hotel around 7am and it is about 45 mins drive to the pier, so the whole day was wasted in traveling. The food is not good too, no selection for westerners, we end up not eating at all except for the watermelon. There was one chicken dish but that’s about it. I understand that tourist needs to see the island but not with that set up where more time are spend for transport than to actually do some activities in the island. We did took some pictures from the boat though… final opinion, not worth it and it’s a waste of one whole day. Go at the nearby beach instead . The only positive about it is that the crew are amazingly friendly.
Dear Stephanie, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are very sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations, especially regarding the long travel time, limited activity time, and lunch experience. We understand how disappointing it can feel when most of the day is spent in transfers rather than enjoying the island. Phi Phi Island trips by big boat can involve a longer journey from Phuket, and the schedule may sometimes feel tight depending on sea conditions, pier transfers, and group timing. However, your comments are completely valid, and we appreciate you highlighting where the experience felt unbalanced. We are also sorry that the food selection was not suitable for your preference. Your feedback about lunch variety and clearer expectations around activity time will be shared with the concerned team so improvements can be made. We are glad to know that you found the crew friendly, and we truly appreciate you mentioning that positive point. Thank you again for your honest review. We hope to have another opportunity to provide you with a smoother and more enjoyable experience in the future.
We had a lovely day trip to PhiPhi island and back. The ferry was smooth. Our guide (Jack) was friendly and knowledgeable and he made sure we were all looked after. Excellent buffet lunch was served at the restaurant. We had a couple of hours to spend which I thought was enough. Overall, this was a lovely trip.
Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing our Phi Phi Islands Tour by Luxury Big Boat from Phuket. We’re delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable day trip and that the journey was smooth and comfortable. It’s especially wonderful to know that Jack made a great impression with his friendly and knowledgeable guidance while making sure everyone was well looked after. We’re also happy you enjoyed the buffet lunch and felt the time on Phi Phi Island was just right for a relaxed visit. Your feedback means a lot to us. Thank you again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable island tour in Phuket soon!
Nice visit but spoiled by a very long return for Patong and that is not in the description! So it ruins one day
Merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes ravis que la visite des Phi Phi Islands vous ait plu, mais nous sommes sincèrement désolés que le trajet retour vers Patong ait été trop long et ait impacté votre journée. Nous prenons votre remarque très au sérieux et allons améliorer la description pour indiquer plus clairement la durée/variabilité du retour selon le trafic et la logistique. Merci encore pour votre commentaire.
We booked Gold Class for this trip our recliner seats were broken. One would not function at all and the other reclined but the footrests stayed down. The people next to us had footrests that were stuck semi raised which made it a challenge to get in and out of the seats. Snacks provided were a few mini cakes , watered down orange juice and a few bananas. If you are going on a speedboat to go snorkelling, scuba diving or to monkey beach you had better not have any mobility issues. The pier front was destroyed hurting a tsunami and has collapsed you have to make your way over the broken slabs to get to a boat to then climb into it. The buffet was at Pineapple not as advertised mostly consisted of rice, fish, and curry. It did not look very good so we found a Burger King. The trip is about 2 hours each direction so you will have a limited time on Phi Phi Don. The first part is a cruise around Phi Phi Lay (you need to go by speedboat to land on Phi Phi Lay). It was great prosper some time on Phi Phi Don but if you want to spend time there either go by speedboat OR stay overnight.
Thank you for your detailed feedback, and we’re truly sorry the Gold Class experience did not meet expectations. The broken recliner seats and footrests are unacceptable, and we’re escalating this to the operator for immediate inspection and maintenance. We also appreciate your comments on the snacks and the buffet location/menu, and we’ll work to ensure the listing matches what’s actually provided. Thank you as well for highlighting the accessibility concerns at the pier and during speedboat boarding—this is important information, and we will push for clearer mobility guidance in the product details. We’re glad you still enjoyed some time on Phi Phi Don, and we appreciate you sharing practical tips for future travelers.
I booked the Gold Class VIP ticket (nearly €65) expecting a quiet and premium experience, but it was disappointing. The VIP cabin included two to three Indian families with young children, who appeared to be under five years old, even though this age group is not supposed to be allowed in the VIP area. Loud crying and shouting happened frequently. When the guide Jack was present, the Indian parents generally tried to control their children; when he was not, the noise continued and the VIP experience felt no different from standard seating. Around 90% of the passengers were Indian, and lunch on board was almost entirely Indian food. If you are not Indian and are looking for a calm or international-style tour, this may not be a good choice. Jack was professional and spoke excellent English, but the VIP upgrade was not worth the price.
Thank you for your detailed feedback, and we’re sorry the Gold Class VIP experience didn’t feel quiet or premium. We take your comments seriously—especially regarding age policy in the VIP area and maintaining a calmer cabin atmosphere. We’ll raise this with the operator to ensure rules are consistently followed and the VIP section is managed as advertised. We also appreciate your note about the onboard meal style and passenger mix, and we’ll work to set clearer expectations in the listing. Thank you for recognizing Jack’s professionalism and excellent English.
The beach time was very short and it was in a very crowded beach. I feel like my whole day was waisted.
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry the tour felt like a wasted day. We understand how disappointing it is when beach time feels too short and the area is overcrowded. We’ll share this with the operator to review the schedule and stop selection, and we’ll work to set clearer expectations about beach duration and peak-time crowds in the listing.
Mainly it has been a disappointing tour. The pick up driver came with nearly one hour late of the scheduled time although the tour operator asked us to be at the hotel lobby 15mins earlier than scheduled time. No apologies received for the delay. The service on board was acceptable and crew member have been helpful. The “English speaking” guide was actually not as expected and incomprehensible (the company should assess the level of English spoken by their guides). The restaurant assigned by the tour operator at Phi Phi islands “Pineapple restaurant” was filthy, the food was garbage and the toilets were disgustingly dirty and broken. The beaches in Phi Phi island were full of garbage and unpleasant objects. The smell all around was of burned petrol due to the huge traffic of any kind of boats. This is the typical example of how the human beings can destroy the natural environment. What a sad experience!
Thank you for your detailed feedback, and we’re truly sorry the tour was so disappointing. The late pickup with no apology is unacceptable, and we’ll escalate this with the transport team immediately. We appreciate your note that the crew on board was helpful, but we agree the guide’s English level must match what’s advertised—this will be reviewed with the operator. We’re especially concerned by your comments about the cleanliness and food quality at Pineapple Restaurant and the poor restroom conditions, and we will report this for urgent action. We also understand your frustration about crowding and environmental impact in the Phi Phi area, particularly during peak traffic. Thank you again for raising these issues—they will help drive improvements.
There could have been more included on this tour. First of all, I was treated quite poorly by the operator when I explained why I might be a few minutes late. I couldn't control the traffic and I had ordered a taxi well in advance. I wasn't met with polite comments. I was blamed for it. And after all the back and forth, the boat didn't even leave until a half hour after I got there! The boat was freezing cold inside, and everything was an added cost except for the one coffee on the boat, and a lunch at the island. The trip was long, it would have been nice if there was more included. I would have paid more for it.
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry the experience didn’t meet expectations. The way you were spoken to regarding a traffic delay is not acceptable—especially when the boat departed later anyway—and we’re addressing this with the operator to ensure respectful communication at all times. We also appreciate your comments about the cabin being too cold and the feeling that most items were extra; we’ll review what’s included and make the listing clearer so travelers can choose the right option.
The overall experience was good. The views were beautiful and the stop at Phi Phi islands was a nice experience. The downside is the amount of screaming kids in the gold seating area (when it is meant to be a quiet and relaxing area). Maybe not allowing children in this area to enhance the experience more would be a definite suggestion. The staff were nice and the free food on board was a nice touch. The restaurant was not good as a small election of us weren’t from India and did not like Indian food so we went else were. Would recommend but prepare for some rude and ignorant passengers.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback and for recommending the tour We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views, the stop at Phi Phi Islands and the service on board, including our staff and the complimentary food. We’re very sorry that the Gold seating area did not feel as quiet and relaxing as it should. Your suggestion about limiting this area to adults only is very valuable and we will share it with the boat operator to see how we can better preserve a calm ambiance there. We also appreciate your comments regarding the restaurant and food selection. We understand that not everyone enjoys the same cuisine and we’ll pass this on so that more international options can be considered in future. Unfortunately, we cannot always control the behaviour of other passengers, but we truly regret if this affected your experience in any way. Thank you again for travelling with us – we hope to welcome you back for an even smoother and more relaxing trip next time.
