Why go for a speedboat tour?
It’s faster
The groups are smaller
You’ll visit places the big boats can’t
Ferries are fine if you’ve got time to spare. But if you’re looking to make the most of your island day trip, a Phi Phi island tour by speed boat gets you there faster, with fewer crowds and way more flexibility. In just over an hour, you’ll be gliding over crystal waters, hopping off into hidden lagoons, and snorkeling in reefs that look straight out of a screensaver.
These tours are designed for travelers who want to skip the logistics and get straight to the good part. Whether you’re with friends, family, or a flying duo, it’s all about speed and smart time management.
Pick the departure point that fits your stay:
Most tours are all-in-one packages, and here’s what they typically cover:
The ride usually takes around 45 to 60 minutes from Phuket and about 35 to 45 minutes from Krabi, depending on sea conditions.
Tours typically begin between 7am and 8:30am, with hotel pickups arranged earlier depending on your location.
Most tours include round-trip transfers, snorkeling gear, lunch, drinks, a tour guide, and insurance. Some premium tours offer breakfast or fresh towels too.
They’re generally safe, but not ideal for infants, pregnant women, or those with back problems due to possible bumps from waves. Families with young kids may prefer larger boats.
Bring swimwear, sunscreen, a towel, a waterproof bag, and some cash for the national park fee (usually around THB 400 for adults), if it's not included in your ticket price.
If conditions are unsafe, the operator may cancel or reschedule the tour. You’ll usually be offered a full refund or an alternative date.
Seating is first-come, first-served. If you prefer a smoother ride, sit toward the back where there’s less motion.
Yes, most tours stop at Maya Bay for sightseeing and photos. However, swimming inside the bay is restricted to protect the marine environment.
