4.00We 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! 🌊✨

1.00This 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.

1.00The 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

1.00Do 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

5.00Fantastic 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.

1.00On 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.
Very beautiful but frequented

5.00The “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.
I recommend !!!

5.00We 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.
