Visitor Reviews
Absolutely Unforgettable!!! A Must Do Experience! The Pirate Boat tour to Phi Phi Islands was hands down one of the best experiences we had in Thailand! From the moment we stepped aboard, the energy was amazing!!! fun, relaxed, and full of good vibes. The crew was incredibly friendly and made sure everyone was having a great time. The boat itself had a cool pirate theme with music, dancing, and lots of space to lounge or socialize. We stopped at several stunning spots around Phi Phi for swimming, snorkeling, and exploring. The water was crystal clear, and the views were unreal. Lunch and drinks were included and everything was delicious and well-organized. They even had a sunset party on the way back, music playing, everyone dancing, and the sky turning all shades of orange and pink. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for something fun, unique, and memorable! 🏴☠️🌴🌊
Hands down one of the best experiences in Phi Phi! They took us to Maya Beach, Monkey Island, and a few other stunning spots, every location felt straight out of a postcard. I absolutely loved the snorkeling and kayaking… the water was unreal! Special mention to Sydney, without a doubt the best instructor I’ve ever met in my life. Super supportive, incredibly motivational, and her communication was just top-notch. She made everyone feel confident and safe. Huge shoutout to Serter and the entire crew as well. Everything was perfectly organized and smooth from start to finish. An unforgettable experience. Would 100% do this again! 💙
This was such a great experience! I particularly liked the kayaking and scuba diving. The versatility to kayak on a bout tour was a major plus. The staff were so fun and friendly. Everyone there was 100% good vibes. Diving 7m off the top of the pirate ship was nothing to sneeze at either. Plus, there were some other surprises, which I won't ruin. I think this is the best type of day trip.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Book Through Klook or GetYourGuide
These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.
