Perfect Tour! - I had previously been on a tour with Captain Mark’s team 14 years ago and was SO pleased when I found this company again. This time my Mum & I went on the tour and again it was absolutely incredible. The team looked after us extremely well and were so friendly. The sights we saw were breathtaking and we didn’t want it to end. We loved that it was a small group of people on the boat and felt so relaxed the whole day. The snorkelling had the best visibility and amount of fish at one time that I’ve ever seen! We plan to visit Phuket again in the summer and will definitely be booking another tour or two with Captain Mark and his wonderful team. We can’t recommend it enough!

An Unforgettable Return to Phi Phi with Phuket Sail Tours - Returning to Phi Phi after eight years was incredibly special for me, especially this time with my wife and kids. Phuket Sail Tours did an outstanding job in 2017, and they managed to surpass themselves again in 2025. The trip was absolutely magnificent—flawlessly organized, with delicious food and unforgettable moments.
We were fortunate to have Capt. Mark and Ena with us, whose warm and welcoming company made the experience even better. If you’re looking for the best full-day Phi Phi tour, look no further—Phuket Sail Tours is truly unmatched. Already looking forward to coming back again in a few years!

Outstanding day on trip to Phi Phi Islands - Exceptional service throughout. Pick up from hotel, on time and a very comfortable ride. Small breakfst provided before boarding the boat. As promised a small number on the boat. The itineray was followed and plenty of time was spent at each location. Cold drinks (water/coke) and some snacks provided throughout the trip. Food at lunchtime was outstanding, every time the plates started to look empty they were refilled - you certainly didn't go hungry. Snorkelling sites were varied and there was plenty to see. But what made the trip was our guide for the day, always willling to chat and make the day that much better. He even took my camera to a depth I couldn't reach to photograph a Clown Fish.
A great day amongst a really friendly group

Amazing time - Had an amazing time! Picked up on time, and was on the tour and islands before everything got too busy. The snorkelling was brilliant. Lunch was beautiful. The locals operating the tour did an amazing job, big thank you to Ana, Tiger and the boat boy for such a good time.

Phi Phi Island and snorkeling with Phuket Sails Tours - We did Phi Phi islands and snorkeling tour on 17/02/2025 with Phuket Sails Tours. Our hotel pick up was on time in a small, air-conditioned van with excellent driver. Arrived for our included breakfast, that went down well. Ann or Anna advised us on our snorkeling gear he was a hoot the whole day with his stories and information. We were offered nibbles and soft drinks every 2 hrs but advised we could help ourselves anytime. We very much enjoyed the islands we visited, snorkeling and lunch was so tasty (too much food though). This was our second visit with this tour company and would highly recommend them.

Amazing day trip - We had an incredible day visiting Phi Phi and some surrounding beaches. It was lovely to get to Railay beach earlier in the day before it became too busy. The fish and coral to see when snorkeling off the boat was fantastic, lunch on PhiPhi Don was lovely and so much food! Ana our guide was so informative, friendly and made the day along with the two other boat staff. The latter half of the boat ride out in the morning is very rough, but our kids 5 and 7 were fine once over the initial shock! The boat and all the snorkling equipment provided was so clean. Would 100% recommend.

I highly highly recommend Phuket Sail Tours - This is not the first time we’ve used Phuket Sail Tours (PST). We had such fond memories of the last trips with them (and Captain Mark) that they were the first website we went to after we booked our current trip to Phuket.
PST are welcoming and well organised. From the moment that they pick you up at your hotel lobby to the minute they drop you off you know you’re in safe hands. Literally everything is arranged for you. All you need is bathers, towel, hat, sunglasses and camera - they provide you with everything else.
The pickup time is early as they are one of the first boats off the pier. Our hotel’s breakfast box wasn’t that appealing but we didn’t need to worry as PST had us covered first with toasties and fruit at the waterside office and then when were onboard home style fried chicken & spring rolls. Ice cold cool drinks & water were freely available all day.
Ana and the crew looked after us the entire time. The boat had two brand new 500hp engines so we were doing 30kts most of the way. It was relatively smooth but at times a bit bumpy (and scary for the younger kids). We arrived at Maya Beach well ahead of the hordes of Instagram seeking tourists.
The highlights for us was the snorkelling over the reefs. The fish life was relatively abundant however the reefs were not as vibrant and alive as I remembered, suffering from coral bleaching. Ana was always pointing up clownfish or black tipped reef sharks for me to photograph.
The lunch at the restaurant on Phi Phi Don was sumptuous and we got to know most of the small group of travellers from the boat.
The afternoon on the beach and in the water was so relaxing. The boat ride home was much smoother that even I feel asleep.
They may charge more than other cruise operators but they limit their numbers on board and take such good care of you. I highly recommend that you book with PST rather than trying any of the others, you won’t regret it.

Phi Phi Island snorkeling Day trip - Our family of 4 had a fantastic day. The crew really looked after us. From a light breakfast, great sightseeing at Maya Bay, Viking Cave, Monkey beach, a delicious Thai lunch at a restaurant on Phi Phi Don and two snorkeling stops to see colourful fish. My 13 year old daughter was classed as a child and didn't have to pay adult prices. A lot of other tour places charge 11 and 12 year olds adult prices. I would recommend booking a tour with Phuket Sail Tours. We had the best day!

Worth the price. - Highly recommend this tour if you are wanting to do day trips around the islands in Phuket. While slightly more pricy than the average tour companies, I believe it is worth every penny with what Phuket Sail Tours offers. Firstly this tour leaves earlier than most of the other tour groups, meaning you are not fighting 100s of other tourist for photos on Maya Bay. Secondly the boat is never overcrowded so the trip feels like a more private experience and everything was included such as national park entrance fees, breakfast, beach mats, delicious lunch and transfers. Not to mention we were also extremely well looked after by the staff on the boat and would like to credit our wonderful tour guide Ana who gave us a lot of info about the islands and made us feel safe whilst doing activities. Would 100% go with Phuket Sail Tours for any island trips in Phuket!

Phi Phi island speedboat tour - Boat trip to Phi Phi
Low points:
50 minute each way boat ride (and other short trips) were raucous, noisy, uncomfortably bumpy, bordering on violent. We could hardly see out due to the design of the boat and having to hang on. I just closed my eyes for the entire trip.
Some of my party had aches from the boat ride
However I do realise that the long distance necessitates a fast boat
Ladyboy performances from guide were tedious and loud and didn’t add to the experience
High points:
Staff were very helpful and courteous
Snorkeling was fun but can be done elsewhere without the discomfort of the awful boat ride
I also did the James Bond island cruise which was much nicer and relaxing where people could eat and talk along the way. If the word “speedboat” appears in the description of your tour, avoid it!
