Horrible experience on my fifth visit to Phi Phi Lee Island
Deeply disappointed due to extreme overcrowding, litter, high boat traffic, and noise. The area is heavily commercialized, with limited access to the beach, high entry fees.
This type of a boat trip doesn´t make any sence at this time of high tourist acivity.
Never more.

Good half day trip covering main points of interest
Covered some main points of interest. Bit chaotic on arrival Maya Bay and not always clear about reboarding. Otherwise, guides helpful and pleasant.
Preferred half day as sufficient for sightseeing. 400 baht required for entry to Maya beach but no swimming or sunbathing on beach allowed so something to think about.
Operator response
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re glad the half-day format suited you and that the guides were helpful. We’re sorry the arrival and reboarding at Maya Bay felt unclear, and appreciate your feedback on providing better direction at busy stops.

Bad
Tour itself is very short and quick. Only thing that was kind of worth the money was Maya Bay, other attractions were not as good. Monkey beach was flooded, so it was hard to get out, and see the monkeys from up close, Viking cave is closed, so cant even go inside. Snorkeling sites are just plain coral nothing to see there. I don't recommend this tour, it took 3 hours, not half a day as its says on the title.
Operator response
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad Maya Bay was a highlight, but we’re sorry the short duration, limited access at other stops and snorkelling fell short of your expectations. Please contact us through your booking so we can look into the itinerary and timing of your particular departure.
