What’s the difference between longtail boat and speedboat tours?

Longtail boats are slower and more traditional, ideal for a relaxed trip. Speedboats are faster and give you more time to explore at each stop. Both are great options, depending on what kind of experience you want.

Is there a private tour option available?

Yes, you can book a private longtail boat tour. You can choose how long you want the tour to be (3, 4, 6, or 7 hours) and decide where to stop.

Where do the tours start and end?

All tours begin and end at McDonald's, Tonsai Pier on Phi Phi Island.

Are National Park fees included in the tour price?

The speedboat tour includes the THB 400 National Park fee. For longtail boat tours, you will need to bring THB 400 in cash to pay this fee during the tour.

What is included in the tour?

All tours include a guide, life jacket, snorkeling gear, insurance, seasonal fruits, and drinking water.

Can I snorkel on these tours?

Yes, snorkeling is part of all tours, with stops at places like Pileh Lagoon, Shark Point, and Bamboo Island. Gear is provided.

Are meals included in the tour?

Meals are not included, but you will get fruits and water during the trip. It’s best to eat before your tour or bring snacks.

How long do the tours last?

Group tours are available in half-day (4-6 hours) and full-day (up to 8 hours) options. Private tours can be booked for 3, 4, 6, or 7 hours.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. All tours offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour begins.

What should I bring with me?

Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a waterproof bag.

Are the tours suitable for everyone?

These tours are not recommended for children under 3, pregnant women, seniors, or people with heart problems. If you have health concerns, please consult a doctor before booking.

Will I see wildlife on the tour?

Yes, especially at Monkey Beach, where you might see wild monkeys, and at Shark Point, where you may spot harmless leopard sharks.
