Review of Phuket’s Phi Phi, Bamboo and Maithon premium catamaran tour, with snorkeling, Maya Bay, lunch, dolphins, costs, and practical tips.
“We had an absolutely fantastic day on the Phi Phi, Bamboo & Maiton Premium Catamaran tour! From start to finish everything was well-organized, fun, and truly memorable. The hotel pickup and drop-off ran smoothly, the staff were friendly and professional, and the premium speed catamaran made the journey comfortable and enjoyable. The island stops were stunning — Bamboo Island and Phi Phi offered incredible views and perfect photo opportunities, and snorkeling was a blast with the provided gear. We loved exploring the clear waters and even enjoyed a ride in the transparent kayak to see marine life up close. The BBQ chicken lunch, snacks, and fresh fruit were delicious and…”

“Excellent had a really good time, food was excellent, this was one of the best well put together package.

Review of Phuket’s Sweetie catamaran tour to Phi Phi, Maya Bay, Bamboo, and Maiton, with snorkeling, lunch, water toys, costs, and practical tips.
“Besser vorplannen und bei wirklich grosse Wellen sollte man es absagen, bei solche Wellen macht es kein Spass! Essen war Katastrophe, zu wenig Snacks für unterwegs! Die Wartezeiten am Pier waren viel zu lang, wir müssten vor 9:30 da sein und erst um 11 Uhr sind wir abgefahren. Wegen die grosse Wellen konnten wir nicht ins Maya Bay. Generell Speed Catamaran ist kein guter Wahl, da man die ganze Zeit beim Fahren sitzen muss und dies macht kein Spass. Die Abfahrtszeiten von Phi Phi haben sich immer wieder geändert, sodass wir mehrmals hin und her laufen mussten und niemand gabbuns Bescheid, also müssten wir im Chat schreiben. Nächstes mal sollte…”

Review of Phuket’s Phi Phi, Maya Bay and Bamboo Island catamaran tour, with snorkeling, lunch, practical tips, costs and honest drawbacks.
“The Phi Phi Islands catamaran tour was overall very good and great value for money. The guides were excellent, especially the Russian-speaking guide Iliya. He was friendly, informative, and genuinely pleasant to talk to. The whole team was attentive and helpful, and we were served fresh fruit and drinks with all necessary amenities provided. One downside was that the schedule felt quite rushed. I would have preferred fewer stops with more time at each island or snorkeling spot, as 30–60 minutes goes by very quickly once everyone gets off the boat and instructions are given. Another issue was the transfer driver. He was loud, unprofessional, and drove in a way…”
Pick a sea, then pick a kind of day.
