Phi Phi Moon Longtail

4.9(56 reviews)

Phi Phi Moon Longtail operates out of the Moonlight Phi Phi Boat Taxi Stand at Ao Tonsai pier, offering longtail boat services across the Phi Phi Islands. With a strong reputation built on consistently high visitor satisfaction, this operator provides an accessible and locally-run way to explore the surrounding waters, whether travellers are looking for a boat taxi transfer or a dedicated island-hopping tour around the archipelago. Visitors can expect the classic longtail boat experience that defines travel in this part of Thailand — open-air, close to the water, and offering direct access to beaches and coves that larger vessels cannot reach. The stand is conveniently located in front of The Beach Bar at Ao Tonsai pier, making it straightforward to find on arrival. Operating seven days a week, the service runs from early morning through to early evening, giving travellers plenty of flexibility to plan day trips or arrange transfers. As a practical note, operating hours run from 06:30 to 19:30 daily, so travellers planning a late return should factor this in when booking. It is worth arriving early during peak season to secure a spot, as longtail operators at popular Phi Phi locations can fill up quickly. For the most up-to-date information on routes, pricing, and availability, visitors can check the operator's Facebook page before heading to the pier.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Vet Elephant Sanctuaries

Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.

Book Popular Activities Online

Booking platforms like GetYourGuide give you instant confirmation and, on many activities, free cancellation — and you can read recent reviews before committing. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.

Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning

Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
