Why go, and how to do it well

Based in Aonang, Krabi, this tour agency specializes in private longtail boat charters to the Phi Phi Islands, giving travelers a more personal and flexible alternative to large group tour boats. The iconic wooden longtail boat is a quintessential part of southern Thailand's maritime culture, and departing from Tonsai on Phi Phi or directly from Aonang, visitors can tailor their routes to suit their own pace and interests rather than following a fixed schedule.

Private charters are the standout offering here, with trip durations typically ranging from three to six hours. Reviewers consistently highlight the professionalism and friendliness of the boat drivers, the freedom to linger at preferred spots, and the operator's willingness to accommodate last-minute changes to itineraries. Six-hour bookings are particularly well-regarded for allowing enough time to take in multiple highlights, including swimming stops, scenic limestone formations, and quieter beaches away from busier tourist areas. The open-air nature of longtail boats allows for unobstructed views and easy access to the water throughout the journey.

Reviews from Google

Rented 6h private boat and could not have been happier with our experience. From start to finish the staff was knowledgeable and advised on different routes we could take and the times, they were very friendly and our driver was the best. We started the trip at 12.30 headed to the Pileh Lagoon, then to Maya Bay but we did not go to the beach we drove around from the other side and we recommended doing that ! We saved around 1/1,5h by not going and did not miss out on the views either ! We then went to Monkey beach and the driver took us to nice secluded spot for snorkelling (plenty of fishes around !) We then went around other Phi Phi islands and snorkelled in another location (again we have seen A LOT of fishes!). Throughout the trip we had plenty of time to take lots of photos/ breaks and snorkel in multiple locations, we driver was giving us truly 5 ⭐️ service and we felt we missed all the crowds 100%. Towards the end we spend couple hours on the open sea watching sunset and snorkelling ( again so many fishes it was unrealistic ). We would highly recommend the private boat rental as we had THE BEST time and we would do the rental again in a heart beat! Thank you to the staff for the professionalism and truly making the experience unique ❤️

We booked a private longtail boat around Phi Phi and it was an amazing experience. The boat driver was very friendly, professional, and took great care of us throughout the trip. We had complete flexibility to stop wherever we wanted for photos and swimming, which made the tour feel very relaxed and personal. The sea was crystal clear, the scenery was stunning, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Definitely worth it — we would absolutely book again! 🌊✨

Amazing customer service and seamless process. We wanted to change some things last minute and they were very accommodating. Great communication and a great private boat experience.
