Review of Krabi’s Phi Phi and 4 Islands sunset speedboat tour, with Maya Bay, Bamboo Island, snorkeling, lunch, costs, tips, and drawbacks.
“Really fun, guide was really sweet, got to see all the islands they mentioned, only pity is there's quite a lot to see and an hour absolutely flies by on an island you want to explore. Lunch also was a bit iffy - loads of other boat tourists and a small buffet which did not look very delectable. Other than that, no notes, refreshments on the boat were great. Do believe the requirement to get a waterproof bag though. Really all you need is that, a towel, swimsuit, sunscreen and bug spray, and footwear you're comfortable walking in cos there's a bit of walking here and there. And most definitely…”

“Amazing day! Must book! The day was very well organized and went very smoothly. We were lucky enough to have Natty as our guide... AKA "sexy lady" and I cannot recommend them enough!!!

We also had a delicious lunch on bamboo island, masaman curry, stirfy chicken and cashew nuts and noodles. absolutely gorgeous! Plenty of snorkeling spots! We even saw clownfish. Plenty of snacks and drinks. 10/10, would highly recommend. It was a highlight of…”

It’s a long day and the boat ride can be bumpy,but everything was well organized and the crew did a great job looking after everyone.The islands are beautiful, especially Maya Bay, and snorkeling was fun with clear water and plenty of fish. We had enough time at each stop without feeling too rushed. Overall a great experience and definitely worth doing if you’re visiting Phuket.”

Review of Phuket’s Racha and Coral Island speedboat trip, with snorkeling, lunch, hotel pickup, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Phi Phi is the popular tour but this was a GEM. The waters in both islands were beautiful and so so clear. There were sooo many fishes by the shore alone. There was no rush to tick boxes, and we were given 2-3h at each island to relax and have free time. There was an optional snorkel part where the boat took the ones who wanted to snorkel, to an area where the underwater life was beautiful. Pick up was punctual, free drinks on the boat, everything felt safe and enjoyable. Best part was the clear waters, and no overcrowding.”
