The Pirate Boat: Phi Phi Island Tour
Operating from the Relax Bar on Phi Phi Island in Krabi, this pirate-themed boat tour takes visitors to some of the most photographed locations in the Andaman Sea, including Maya Beach and Monkey Island. The tour's distinctive concept sets it apart from standard island-hopping trips, combining scenic coastal exploration with a lively, social atmosphere on board. Visitors can expect a full-day water-based experience with a range of activities included, among them snorkelling, kayaking, and scuba diving, alongside food and drinks on board. The crew receives consistent praise across reviews for their attentiveness and energy, contributing to what many guests describe as a highlight of their time in Thailand. The tour suits solo travellers, couples, and groups equally well, with staff noted for making guests feel well looked after throughout the day. Booking in advance is strongly recommended, particularly during peak season from November through February when demand is high. Departure times differ from the 24-hour hours listed online, which reflect general bar availability rather than tour schedules — check the current schedule and confirm bookings at phiphipirate.com before arrival. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and a change of clothes, and plan for a full day on the water.

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! 🏴☠️🌴🌊
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.
Great day out and had everything we wanted! Got to see the best parts of Phi Phi and the guides and staff were all great! Huge shout out to Sam who really looked after us and made sure we had a great day.

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.
