Private Paradise Island of Immaculate Beauty

VISIT MAITON ISLAND BY BOAT AND FALL IN LOVE!

It is no surprise that Maiton or Maithon Island, Koh Mai Thon , is also known as Honeymoon Island. With its romantic and idyllic presence, magnificent natural views, the feeling of untouched shores, beautiful golden sands, and crystal clear water. Like any other island in the Andaman Sea…. not entirely!

A spectacular day trip by private speedboat or yacht is the perfect way to travel across in style and discover the perfect beach setting of this exquisite little gem, Maithon Island.

Just What Makes Maiton Island so Special?

Maiton Island’s uniqueness has something to do with its irrespirable allure and magical mix of tropical air, the exquisite setting, and the exclusivity of this tropical destination. The magic is palpable. Maiton private island is set apart and offers guests a discerning and memorable experience.

Combine that with exceptional marine life around the island – including dolphins – and you understand why.

The Geography of Phuket Maiton Island

Maiton Island forms part of Phuket Province and is just 30 minutes by speedboat off the south east coast of Phuket. From Chalong Pier, or even better, depart privately on a Coral Seekers day trip from Coral Seekers Beach Club on Ao Yon Beach, escaping the crowds and tourists en masse.

Maiton may be a small island covering just 2 square kilometers (0.77 square miles), but its appearance and ambiance make up for it. On arrival, you will be spellbound by the crystal clear water, white sand, classic palm trees fringing the beach, and vibrant coral reefs, all characteristic of a beautiful tropical island. What makes it so inviting is its exclusivity, which you feel as you arrive and set foot on the private beach.

Private and Protected Paradise

Conservation of the natural beauty and diverse marine life is paramount on Mai Ton Island. Spend the whole day here if you wish, and treasure your time in this special place.

Pods of the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, also known as the ‘pink dolphin’, can be seen offshore; they are unique and playful and a delight to all lucky enough to witness them.

As it is a protected site, due to its size and natural environment, Maithon Island has restrictions on the number of daily visitors allowed on this private island retreat. A landing fee for boats bringing visitors (priced per person) is charged for the privilege, which goes towards the island’s upkeep to ensure it remains pristine for all who visit.

Sustainable Tourism

Your time on Honeymoon Island gives you access to a luxurious retreat and the resort’s amenities, which include a swimming pool, spa, and dining facilities for that magical Maiton experience.

Enjoy snorkeling around the coral reefs with the colorful tropical fish just away from the water’s edge. Swim in the warm tropical waters or dive into the pool to cool off with plenty of time to relax and enjoy a great view from every angle.

Lunch can be reserved at the resort hotel, a beautiful buffet lunch spread, and Thai fare with seafood, of course. Alternatively, enjoy a private picnic lunch with a delicious spread of food and refreshments prepared by Coral Seekers.

Take a walk and find a good viewpoint or the perfect selfie spot under the palm trees. For scuba diving enthusiasts, there are several dive sites in the crystal clear waters around Maiton Island, and this can be organized for you by boat, depending on weather conditions.

Our day trips are customized to your liking, and with Maiton Island as the destination, you get to immerse yourself in total tropical privacy as you while away the day, appreciating the resort hotel’s luxury amenities, beautiful golden sands, private beach, and vibrant coral reefs.

Maiton Island is a small island located in the southeast part of Thailand, forming part of the Chumphon Archipelago. It attracts travelers from around the world with its unusual and memorable history.

What is Koh Maiton famous for?

Maiton Island was once a private island owned by Korean businessmen. They bought the island and built a luxurious hotel on it, imposing a strict prohibition on excursions to Maiton Island. Only celebrities such as stars, politicians, athletes, businessmen, and other celebrities could access the island. The island retains several helipads and berths for private yachts, which global celebrities have utilized for years to reside in one of the numerous bungalows dotting the coastline.

Everything changed in 2004 when a major earthquake in the Indian Ocean destroyed the hotel, and its owners decided to cease business operations. Since then, Maiton has been open for excursions but strives to maintain its familiar privacy and originality. Firstly, due to its late opening, Maiton has not developed compared to other major tourist islands. This makes it attractive to those seeking a laid-back and natural holiday. Secondly, Maiton is a protected area of marine wildlife due to the prevalence of dolphins, sea turtles, and various fish species in its waters. In order to safeguard the island's nature and beaches, there is a restriction on the simultaneous number of tourists. Let's delve into how to secure a spot within that limit.

Programs and prices for excursions to Maiton Island:

• Trip to Racha, Coral, and Maiton Islands is a speedboat tour with several stops in the Andaman Sea. The first location for snorkeling and beach relaxation is going to be on Coral Island. After that, we have a buffet lunch on Racha Yai Beach and finally get to snorkeling swimming off the shores of Maiton.
• Trip to Maiton, Khai Nai, and Khai Nok Islands is a speedboat tour with snorkeling off the shores of Maiton without going ashore. Additionally, the boat will stop at Khai Nai for beach relaxation and lunch, as well as at Khai Nok for another snorkeling session.
• Maiton Island day trip is the only tour entirely dedicated to exploring Maiton Island. The cruise program includes snorkeling in the waters of the Andaman Gulf, swimming in the sea and a freshwater pool, a guided tour of the island's main locations, a visit to an observation deck overlooking the coastline, beach volleyball, and time for relaxation on the beach .

Maiton Island tour includes departure from Phuket Island, transfer from the hotel to the departure pier and back, the presence of an English-speaking guide, and the rental of necessary snorkeling equipment.

Moreover, you can try an alternative form of transfer, similar to the format of a private Maiton island tour to the once-closed paradise place such as chartering a boat, catamaran, or yacht. Distinguished by its departure from conventional group tours, this cruise offers a unique sense of freedom — you have full control over the tour program, enabling you to personally organize the list of on-board activities and stops.

What Tourists Should Know?

We have compiled basic recommendations that will make your trip to the islands of Thailand much more enjoyable and comfortable:

• Make sure you have a small bag with sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hatgear. Each cruise includes swimming or diving in open seas, so don't forget to bring a swimsuit, towel, and a change of clothes. There's no need to bring a mask, snorkel, flippers, armbands, or life jacket as they are all included in the cost and provided during the tour.
• When choosing clothes, pay attention to the specifics of the local climate. To feel comfortable, wear light and breathable clothing in light colors. You can also bring additional footwear such as light flip-flops for swimming and soft, lightweight shoes for walks on the beaches and unusual terrains of Thai islands.
• All water activities on the tour are designed for both adults and children. However, swimming skills are required to participate. If you do not have this skill, do not hesitate to ask for a life jacket, which is available on every boat. Like that you can confidently participate in water activities.
• Plan your free time on the stopover island in advance. If you want to visit specific locations, inquire about the time it takes for the round trip. When departing, inform the guide about your plans and exchange contacts to be able to notify them in case of unforeseen circumstances leading to delays.
• Thailand's ecosystem is both diverse and unique, particularly on Maiton Island. To preserve and respect its delicate balance, it's crucial to exercise extreme care and consideration in our behavior. During snorkeling and diving, do not get too close to the animals, do not try to catch them, and do not pull them ashore. Be especially careful with coral reefs and do not try to pull soft corals or break off pieces of hard corals. During your time on the  beach, clean up all small and large litter.

• 486kch 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Terrible. Not as advertised. แย่มาก ไม่เหมือนที่โฆษณาไว้ NOT ACCESSIBLE! The entire trip that is advertised is a lie. First, they were an hour late for pickup and more than 1.5 hours late for boat launch. Second, they advertised themselves as wheelchair accessible. I traveled with my 70 year old parents who have bad knees. We were told there would not be an issue. We had to climb into a van, then we had to get out of the van, then we had to get back into the van, then we had to get into a tuk tuk/ pick up truck. None of these were wheelchair accessible and my mother barely managed to get in. Then 1.5 hours after we were supposed to leave, we were shown the boat. The boat was completely different than the one they had advertised in the pictures. It had no ramp and it had large steps that made the “eating area” inaccessible for my parents. The only support offered was a hand to hold. This was not physically possible for my mother and anyone who needed a wheelchair would not have even gotten to the boat. When asked about the inaccessible seating, we were told that if we could not climb over the seat to get to the dinner tables we would need to sit on a bench. We decided to leave because we could not physically get on the boat. I was then told we still had to pay and we would not get a refund. They also continued to urge us to get my mother to get into the boat in unsafe ways. I was also told that the only way for us to get home was to call a taxi ourselves if we chose to leave. We left anyway. After talking with the bosses and complaining about all of the false advertising, wasted time, and physical pain my mother went through, they offered us an insulting 50% refund. Eventually they offered to charge us ONLY 4000 bht. This business is unprofessional, unreliable, and disgraceful. ไม่สามารถเข้าถึงได้! การเดินทางทั้งหมดที่โฆษณาเป็นเรื่องโกหก อย่างแรก พวกเขาไปรับสายหนึ่งชั่วโมงและออกเรือช้ากว่า 1.5 ชั่วโมง ประการที่สอง พวกเขาโฆษณาตัวเองว่าสามารถเข้าถึงเก้าอี้รถเข็นได้ ฉันเดินทางกับพ่อแม่วัย 70 ปีที่มีปัญหาเข่าเสื่อม เราก็บอกจะไม่เป็นปัญหา เราต้องปีนขึ้นรถตู้ แล้วเราต้องลงจากรถตู้ จากนั้นเราต้องกลับเข้าไปในรถตู้ จากนั้นเราต้องขึ้นรถตุ๊ก ตุ๊ก/ รถกระบะ ไม่มีสิ่งเหล่านี้ที่รถเข็นสามารถเข้าถึงได้และแม่ของฉันแทบจะไม่สามารถเข้าไปได้ จากนั้น 1.5 ชั่วโมงหลังจากที่เราควรจะออกเราก็พาเราไปที่เรือ เรือลำนี้แตกต่างจากที่โฆษณาในภาพโดยสิ้นเชิง ไม่มีทางลาดและมีขั้นบันไดขนาดใหญ่ที่ทำให้ "พื้นที่รับประทานอาหาร" ไม่สามารถเข้าถึงได้สำหรับพ่อแม่ของฉัน การสนับสนุนเพียงอย่างเดียวที่มีให้คือจับมือ สิ่งนี้เป็นไปไม่ได้ทางร่างกายสำหรับแม่ของฉัน และใครก็ตามที่ต้องการเก้าอี้รถเข็นจะไม่ได้ขึ้นเรือด้วยซ้ำ เมื่อถูกถามเกี่ยวกับที่นั่งที่ไม่สามารถเข้าถึงได้ เราได้รับแจ้งว่าหากเราไม่สามารถปีนข้ามที่นั่งเพื่อไปที่โต๊ะอาหารค่ำได้ เราจะต้องนั่งบนม้านั่ง เราตัดสินใจออกเดินทางเพราะเราไม่สามารถขึ้นเรือได้ ฉันบอกแล้วว่าเรายังคงต้องจ่ายและเราจะไม่ได้รับเงินคืน พวกเขายังคงกระตุ้นให้เราให้แม่ของฉันเข้าไปในเรือด้วยวิธีที่ไม่ปลอดภัย ฉันยังบอกด้วยว่าทางเดียวที่เราจะกลับบ้านคือเรียกแท็กซี่เองถ้าเราเลือกที่จะออก เราก็จากไป หลังจากพูดคุยกับเจ้านายและบ่นเกี่ยวกับโฆษณาที่ผิดๆ ทั้งหมด เสียเวลา และความเจ็บปวดทางร่างกายที่แม่ของฉันต้องเจอ พวกเขาเสนอเงินคืนให้เราดูถูก 50% ในที่สุดพวกเขาก็เสนอที่จะเรียกเก็บเงินจากเราเพียง 4000 บาท ธุรกิจนี้ไม่เป็นมืออาชีพ ไม่น่าเชื่อถือ และน่าขายหน้า Read more Written October 18, 2022
• nsk1 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Surprisingly good show! this is probably one of the few shows in Thailand for families! My teenage daughter and I opted for the dinner and show. The dinner spread was rather lavish and then the Thai village, pre show cultural performance was a very good time pass before the show. The stage is very grand and the sets were Vegas standard! The only downside was the terrible amount of haggling one had to do with the taxi drivers when we got out to go back to the hotel...so it’s better to have transport included in your deal Read more Written December 18, 2019

The unexpected beauty of Maiton Island

Maiton Island is an understated paradise with a long and exciting history. It’s a fantastic day out, only 15 minutes from Phuket by speedboat. The island is small but with a large and quiet beach and a green hill as a backdrop. Maiton is a private island with a small hotel and just a few bungalows that used to be the ultimate luxury in Phuket. If you visit on a day trip, you can have lunch, drinks or even a massage at the hotel.

Update: Access to Maiton Island has been suspended until further notice. We found a tour that included snorkeling around the island but we are not yet sure if you can walk on the beach of Maiton. Have a look at this tour here

There is not much to do on this small island, but it feels like a total escape from busy Phuket. Swim, relax, explore a bit, eat and drink, go snorkelling, and enjoy the peace in a lounger under the trees; the day feels perfect.

How to go to Maiton Island

We booked with Love Andaman tour online via QBIC Travel just the day before. While the company provides a hotel pick-up, we prefered to drive to the Panwa pier on the east coast of Phuket (near the Phuket aquarium ). This pier is quieter than the big Rassada to Phi Phi Islands and the Chalong pier to Coral and Racha Island .

We had coffee and a light breakfast offered in a surprisingly comfortable aircon waiting room by the water as we arrived very early. The staff was amicable and helpful, giving the small groups a clear and concise description of how the trip and the day would be. Our Thai guide spoke excellent English, and his enthusiasm didn’t feel rehearsed. The team was great for the whole day.

Our small group of about 20 passengers boarded the big and comfortable speedboat. The 5 minutes ride went smoothly (which may not always be as quiet in the low season), and we arrived at a large and very photogenic pier sooner than we expected. If you look at the photo, it feels like going to the Maldives again. At this point, you choose to stay on board to go snorkelling a little further or disembark to enjoy the island. We decided to leave the speedboat and explore.

As soon as you arrive, the beauty of the place puts a smile on everyone’s face. The water is so clear and blue, the sand so white with the green hill in the back; it’s a real tropical dream. The beach is immense, and it’s a relaxing walk to go all the way to the end with your feet in the warm water.

This place was a 70-bungalow luxury resort for wealthy Japanese travellers. But only 7 to 10 rooms are still in operation. The hotel is a bit surprising, and I hope people who book one of the expensive bungalows know the situation.

The problem is that the 60 other rooms are still in wreck condition. Some are converted into abandoned storage rooms, dilapidated staff houses and total wrecks by the sea; it’s so surreal! Imagine going to your villa at night and having to walk along with a few wrecked cottages. That’s a little creepy. (Look at the photos lower on the page). We suppose that running such a big and expensive resort so far from the main island was not profitable in the long run.

The main building and the once iconic swimming pool are still beautiful but a little run down. The best spot is the small wooden beach bar where you can buy a beer for 120 baht.

At noon, the visitors can enjoy a small but good lunch buffet in an open restaurant by the sea, with tables under the trees. It’s a relaxing moment and a chance to meet and talk with other visitors. The food is good and the atmosphere pleasant. You can buy beers at the hotels, but as recommended by our guides, you can bring your own too, it’s a lot cheaper (you can buy them at the pier!)

The viewpoint

The viewpoint at the top of the hill behind the hotel is not difficult to reach but not impressive. There is a small shrine up, and the hotel set up a little selfie spot to take a couple of photos.

Surprisingly, Maiton is somewhat unknown. Perhaps people think it’s far (but it’s not really)? Maybe it’s a little more expensive than Coral Island (2,900 baht)? Or maybe the illusion of a once very private and exclusive island remains from the past. However, we believe that despite its beauty, people don’t talk much about it.

Mai Ton Island   tour is just 20 minutes from Phuket Island south coast is the last virgin and private island.This small island measures just 2.5 km It characterised by long, unspoiled beaches of fine white sand.You’ll see the best of this island, snorkeling, swimming or simply relaxing in one day tour. Leave the chaos of the most crowded beaches and given away a great day out in one of the most beautiful and wild islands. Don’t miss the newest and amazing experience!!

Maiton Island is a private island and considered to be very romantic. Maiton is a small island located in the Tranquil Andaman Sea which has sometimes been referred to as the Maldives of Thailand. Maiton is an amazing island that is not to be missed when you come to travel to Phuket, and if viewed from the air, the island itself is shaped like a piece of wood, very beautif.

Why Choose a Quality Tour?

You can feel the difference between a quality and a low cost tour in every aspect. All ground and boat transports are in excellent conditions and quite new. Island tours depart from prestigious Marina with all the comforts. The routes are the same, while visiting the main and most famous destinations, but the add short stops here and there to avoid the most crowded spots, at the worst time.

The staff, the captains and the guides have many years of experience and a very good English level and very often they speak also other languages. The pick up service is precise but available to any recoveries overtime.

Lunch is served in private restaurants , with a limited selected number of people and therefore you will find always fresh and plentiful food. The number of participants is always lower than that which would actually be allowed in the boats and this is to give more relax and comfort to the participants.

WHAT TO BRING

*We regret that this trip is currently unavailable.*

Privately owned and incredibly beautiful, Maiton Island is our destination for this full-day speedboat trip from Phuket. Escape the crowds as you arrive in this paradisiacal setting where crystal clear waters teeming with marine life lap up against white sandy beaches.

Nicknamed “Honeymoon Island”, Maiton Island lies just off the southeast coast of Phuket and can be accessed in as little as 30 minutes by speedboat. Unlike some of our other Maiton Island day trips, this tour allows you to explore the island itself, not just the surrounding waters.

Spot dolphins playing alongside the speedboat as you are whisked to the island where you’ll spend the day swimming and snorkelling. After a delicious buffet lunch, you’ll be guided on a trek to the island’s elevated viewpoint, from where you can see three different Thai provinces.

With time for souvenir shopping and a highly experienced guide, this island speedboat trip from Phuket is ideal for those who want to pack as much as possible into their Maiton Island experience.

If you’re after a more laid-back experience, why not opt for our full-day sailing catamaran cruise to Maiton Island , which takes you through Panwa Bay and past the island of Ko Lon.

After being picked up from your hotel between 8:00 and 8:45, you’ll be transported to the Phuket Deep Sea Port where you’ll meet your guide. Around 9:00, we’ll depart by speedboat for Maiton Island (also known as “Honeymoon Island”), with the sparkling waters of the Andaman Sea your backdrop.

In just 30 minutes, you’ll be whisked to this island paradise where white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters await. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins along the way, with these intelligent mammals often seen playing in the surrounding waters. You can spend the morning swimming and snorkelling in Maiton Island’s paradisiacal setting, with myriad marine species inhabiting the offshore reefs.

Once you’ve built up an appetite, a Thai-inspired lunch will be served, accompanied by refreshments. The rest of the afternoon is yours to swim and snorkel at your leisure or you can join a jungle hike to the elevated viewpoint that overlooks the three provinces of Krabi, Phang Nga and Phuket. There will also be time to shop for souvenirs on the island before we depart for the Phuket Deep Sea Port around 15:00. On arrival at the pier, you’ll be transported back to your hotel.

Please Note: The itinerary above is approximate only and may be modified without notice due to local weather and tide conditions.

An easy guide to visit Maiton Island

Maiton is one of the private-owned Islands in Phuket Thailand. There is a limitation in accessing this Island, and it means you have to make arrangements to get there. It is an outstanding well maintained Island. In this blog post, we will share with you an easy guide to tell you all about the Island as well as what to see and critical activities in Maiton Island.

Maiton Island (Maithon or Mai Ton) is just off Phuket’s east coast, a beautiful tropical island. At its widest point, the Island extends for 2,5 km, with beautiful golden sands and palm trees, as well as pristine waters home to vibrant coral reefs.

Unlike all the other well-known tropical islands around Phuket, Maiton-also is known as Honeymoon Island-is only 9 kilometers (29,527.6 feet) off the southeastern coast of Phuket.

It is the largest private Island located away in Andaman Sea’s crystal blue waters, complete with a soft-sand beach full of beautiful washed-up corals and shells of the sea, and lush green natural forest.

The trippy Island may only be about 4 kilometers (13,123.4 feet) in size, but its white powdery sand straddles the shoreline 1 kilometer (3,280.8 feet). With only a limited number of guests permitted at one time, Maiton is genuinely making a fantastic holiday experience into a magical destination.

Whether for an extended vacation or just a weekend getaway, Phuket has plenty of retreats to give on the Island. One island stands out amongst others, though. The peaceful private Island of Maiton is concealed in the glistening turquoise blue waters of the Andaman Sea.

Maiton is an untouched natural paradise that offers the most incredible private island experience with only a handful of guests allowed at one time on the Island.

Here are simple three ways how to get to Maiton Island 

Maiton island tour with speedboat.

Koh Mai Thon, or Maiton Island, is a lovely private island a little further off Phuket’s southeast coast on the way to Phi Phi Islands. It is a beautiful, tiny granite island covered by lush vegetation rich in palms and tall trees. Koh Mai Thon in Thai means “Timber Island.”

Due to the considerable distance from the Main Island Coast, the Island is relatively unknown and little frequented by visitors. It is, however, one of Phuket’s most beautiful islands, a truly unspoiled tropical paradise.

Koh Mai Thon is a small jewel in the Andaman Sea, every tourist’s dream that will come true in real life. The Island is little but has a beautiful white sandy beach surrounded by spectacular deep turquoise waters, perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

Despite being one of the most beautiful beaches around Phuket, it’s never crowded, because unlike other most popular islands near the main Island, only a few small groups of tourists arrive here with the daily trips, a blessing for those who want to enjoy a corner of paradise for themselves. Accommodation on the Island is Honeymoon Island Hotel.

The lovely five-star hotel is, as the name suggests, one of the popular destinations for high-level romantic stays and is often used for photoshoots and wedding services. The hotel has a swimming pool, beach volleyball, sauna, meeting rooms, a scuba diving facility, and a spa.

Not many companies tour operators sell day trips to this beautiful Island because its cost is slightly higher compared to other excursions on the islands closest to the coast. Still, without a doubt, the overcharge will be rewarded with one of Phuket’s most beautiful hikes.

The tour usually includes transferring from your hotel by minivan, a round trip by speedboat from Chalong Pier, fresh fruit, soft drinks, and snacks onboard, free beach deckchair, lunch buffet, snorkeling equipment, tour guide, and insurance services. Tour prices range from 2.300 to 2.800 THB depending on the company selected and the possible options.

Maiton island tour with a catamaran

If you’ve dreamed of crystal-clear blue waters, beautiful white sand beaches, abundant corals and vibrant aquatic life, this Maiton Island Catamaran tour will make your dreams on the beach possible.

Climb aboard a catamaran and cruise in the Andaman Sea from Phuket to Koh Maiton. Go in pursuit of the wild dolphins swimming in the surrounding waters of “Honeymoon Island” before leaving for Koh Phi Phi.

Known as the “honeymoon” island, this private Island in Maiton Sea’s beautiful waters will allow you to swim and snorkel in the heart of paradise, without the usual crowds of tourists.

Your day starts with a hotel pick up before you transfer to your choice of speed boat or slower (but more luxurious) catamaran. A day of swimming or snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs in crystal clear waters awaits you.

You will have the opportunity to see the different types of aquatic life in the reefs, or if you prefer, you can always relax on the white beach as you soak up yourself on the sun. Additionally, get to enjoy a delicious buffet of authentic Thai cuisine, offering vegetarian options too.

You’ll journey into the jungle, with an exploration of the Island’s neighboring areas, led by the owners of the private Island, welcoming you to explore all the marvels this paradise island offers altogether.

Once you go back to port, shop for souvenirs at this private beach to act as a memento of your day. You’ll then be taken back right back at your hotel.

Maiton private island tour

The Island is in a strategic location, which makes it an idyllic place for visitors to tour relax and enjoy what amazing Mother Nature has to offer. Here are some of the key activities you will enjoy;

Diving & snorkeling

Only ten steps ahead of the sandy beach lie the thriving coral sanctuary where there are over 400 fish species and exciting marine life. Explore the underwater beauty by thrilling aquatic sports like diving and snorkeling. You can also take a dip in Andaman Sea’s turquoise blue waters, and be wowed by the fantastic marine life around you.

Dolphin watching

Look at the wild dolphins doing an impressive stunt or two right in front of you as sail into the deep blue sea. Simultaneously let your worries drift away as you gaze into the beautiful horizon and enjoy the fascinating sights.

If you enjoy hiking in the countryside, you’ll love the Island’s luxuriant forest. Take deep breaths to soak in the aromatic green shower that helps refresh your mind as you get your way through the lush greenery.

FAQs About Phuket to Phi Phi Tours

Phi Phi tours range from $50 to $150 for a shared boat, while private boats can cost around $1000 for 15 people. But this is just an average.

To reach Phi Phi from Phuket , you can take a ferry or speedboat. Ferries are more affordable but slower, taking about 2 hours. Speedboats are faster, taking around 45 minutes to 1 hour. Both options are readily available and can be booked through a operator or at the pier yourself.

While a day trip to Phi Phi Island can give you a taste of its beauty and attractions, I recommend spending at least an overnight if you have the time. If you have only one day, visit popular spots like Maya Bay, Monkey Beach, and the Viewpoint.

Yes, a Phuket to Phi Phi day trip is definitely worth it. It’s known for its limestone cliffs, crystal clear water, coral reefs, and vibrant marine life. You can go snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing, and exploring iconic locations like Maya Bay.

Phi Phi can be a bit pricey compared to other spots in Thailand, especially for places to stay and things to do. But there are choices for every budget, so you’ll find both fancy and affordable options.

The best time to visit Phi Phi Island is during the dry season, from November to April. The weather is usually sunny with minimal rainfall, perfect for beach activities and exploring. However, this is peak season, so expect bigger crowds and higher prices. For a quieter but wetter experience, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of May to October.

Phuket is a tourist hub of activities and vibrant nightlife. It’s a place with endless options. In contrast, Phi Phi is smaller and more relaxed, known for its natural beauty. If you want more of a city vibe, choose Phuket. For a serene getaway, Phi Phi is perfect.

Swimming in the archipelago is generally considered safe, but be aware of the tides and currents, especially during certain seasons when the sea conditions can change. Swim in designated swimming areas and avoid areas with strong waves or dangerous rocks.

Final Thoughts: Best Phi Phi Island Tour

Phi Phi and the whole area around Phuket (like Krabi & Railay Beach, Khao Lak, Khao Sok National Park, and smaller islands like Koh Phayam ) are seriously amazing spots in Southeast Asia .

With towering karst cliffs and clear turquoise waters, these places are a must-visit on any Thailand itinerary. Aside from Phi Phi Don, you’ll need to join a tour to explore the other destinations.

In case you’re still not sure which to pick:

• For an award-winning classic, join this Adventure Day Trip with Seaview Lunch.
• For a private experience, sign up for this Private Boat Tour.
• To avoid the crowds, book this Sunrise trip.
