We booked a long tail boat for a family day out and it was such a great experience! The boat was clean and comfortable, and the driver was very friendly and helpful.
It was perfect for family activities — relaxing, sightseeing, and enjoying the beautiful views together. We also stopped for snorkelling, which was amazing! The water was clear and we saw lots of fish. Everyone had so much fun.
Highly recommend for families who want a mix of adventure and relaxation. A very memorable day for us! 🌊✨

We almost died very unsafe DONT BOOK
This was by far THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!! I thought I was going to die! The boat operator spoke NO ENGLISH at all the boat broke down and we were stranded for over an hour and did not even get to do the tour! He spent the entire hour trying to get the engine to the long tail boat started zero communication with us even if the boat was working he couldn’t tell us anything about where we were. The 4 hour tour only lasted 3 hours and an hour of that was stranded in the ocean 30 minutes into the tour and the other 30 minutes was getting back. I felt UNSAFE the boat was rocking during times of hard waves I was dizzy and nauseous it was the worse do not book this tour!!! Get to phi phi pick your boat mk sure it at least looks operable and your boat operator speaks English.

Never showed up
The tour guide didn't show up for the tour. I waited an hour and a half and nothing. Tried to contact them at the time and just got told to wait at the pick up point and then they stopped replying. Waiting on a refund now and have heard nothing back.

Awful Avoid
Do not use these people! They didn’t want to do the tour and when arrive to meet they say to cancel for another day due to weather! Nothing wrong with weather at all! They say can’t do the tour paid for and just take you around the phi phi island pier! Nothing ready on boat and got told F off 3 times by an irate woman when we asked why we couldn’t do the tour we paid for! Weather conditions calm and sunny, we had friends that did the tour same day with no problems at all. I asked other people that do the tours and they said weather perfect no problem. The cooler box was full of old water and plastic bags that’s meant to be ready full of ice ready for drinks that you purchase before the tour! The operator has since deleted his WhatsApp message that said weather was bad as it’s simply was not true!! Got on the boat anyway as didn’t want to ruin the day and thought something was better than nothing! We got out the boat at Viking beach and he said he needed to be in the sea and couldn’t anchor up by the shore like other boats? Dodgy company please avoid, trying to get money back. Smokey boat that never starts! Vile experience

Dear Valued Customer,
We are very sorry to hear about your experience and truly regret that the tour did not meet your expectations.
Please allow us to clarify that safety is always our top priority. If there is any concern—whether related to wind, waves, or sea conditions—our team may suggest rescheduling to ensure the well-being of all guests. We understand that the weather appeared calm from shore, but our captain made the call based on safety conditions in specific areas of the route that may not be visible from land.
We sincerely apologize if any of our staff spoke to you in an inappropriate manner. This behavior does not reflect our standards, and we take such feedback seriously. We are now investigating the incident to ensure accountability and improvement in service.
Regarding the condition of the boat and cooler, we will also address this directly with the team responsible, as we strive to maintain cleanliness and readiness before each departure.
Your experience is certainly not what we aim to deliver, and we will be in touch regarding your refund request. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Kind regards,
Oh-Hoo Travel

Fantastic trip! Rent your own Long Tail boat! Was by several coves and beaches. Maya Bay was an experience.
We snorkled and got to see a lot of fish!
Been to Monkey Beach! It was an experience.
So happy with the guide/boatmaster!
Thank you!

There's no point chartering.
On my way back from Maya Bay, I had to wait more than half an hour at the port on shaky footings when no ship came to the port at the agreed time. The sailors were probably sleeping on the ship. Thirty minutes of sacrifice in four hours is huge. I want a refund.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the delay in the boat’s arrival at the port after your visit to Maya Bay. We fully understand how uncomfortable and frustrating it must have been to wait for more than 30 minutes on a unstable and moving pier, and we deeply regret the inconvenience this caused.
This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide. Your comments regarding the delay will be taken very seriously and shared with the operating team for a thorough review.
Regarding your request for a refund, we kindly ask that you contact the booking platform or customer service team through which you made your reservation, as they will be able to review your case and assist you further.
We sincerely apologize for the impact this had on your experience and appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention.We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide an even more enjoyable experience.
Best Regards,
Oh-Hoo Team

Very beautiful but frequented
The “Beach” of Maya Beach is very busy, it is a real tourist factory. The whole point of this private excursion is to be a bit out of the flow of visitors. The place is beautiful. Our driver was considerate, discreet and very helpful. We had an extraordinary time.
Operator response
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. Maya Bay can be very busy, as it is one of the most famous and beautiful beaches in the region. We’re glad to hear that choosing a private excursion allowed you to enjoy the experience away from the main flow of visitors and appreciate the stunning surroundings more peacefully.
It’s also wonderful to know that your driver was attentive, discreet, and helpful throughout the trip. We will be sure to share your kind words with him.
We’re truly delighted that you had such an extraordinary moment and hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable experience.
Best Regards,
Oh-Hoo Team

I recommend !!!
We LOVED our boat experience !! The meeting point was easy to find, our guide arrived on time and showed us the way to his longtail boat. He spoke English enough for us to understand. We spent half a day with him. The experience was amazing and views were beautiful. He brought us back on time. I really recommend this tour and Viator in general, they are easy to reach and their app is super user friendly. You can also always pay in 2 payments which is nice.
