6.Phi Phi Island & Maya Bay Luxury Yacht Day Tour

Cruise from Royal Phuket Marina to Maya Bay, Phi Phi Island, Pi Leh Lagoon, and Monkey Beach aboard a luxury yacht. You’ll get a welcome drink, gourmet lunch, fresh fruit, soft drinks, music from a DJ, one glass of sparkling wine, and national park entry. Hotel pickup is optional.

“The weather was extremely bad and the crew knew that beforehand. We were not allowed to cancel the tour despite the weather warning. As soon as we boarded the boat, we were quickly cast off and told that it was very windy and that we would not be able to sail to certain destinations on the tour. There we were, trapped on the boat for 8 hours in wind gusts of 57km/h and total swell. The tour was a disaster, a real rip-off! At least the DJ was good, playing the Titanic song to match the situation.”

7.Phang Nga Bay Catamaran Adventure Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 24 reviews · 7 hours · from $76Best value

Travel from Phuket by speed catamaran with an English or Thai guide, canoe through Hong Island’s mangroves, visit James Bond Island and Panyee Village, explore a cave, and swim at Naka Island. Bibi and the team provide guiding, paddling help, lunch, fruit, and hotel transfers.

“Il servizio di pick up, le attività proposte, il pranzo sono stati ottimi. Avrei preferito un giro più lungo in kayak esteso magari ai canali tra le foreste di mangrovie, evitando la sosta a Naka beach, affollata e non particolarmente attraente, almeno lì dove ci è stato detto di sostare. La baia di Phang Nga merita una visita per le sue peculiarità naturalistiche.”
