“Really fun, guide was really sweet, got to see all the islands they mentioned, only pity is there's quite a lot to see and an hour absolutely flies by on an island you want to explore. Lunch also was a bit iffy - loads of other boat tourists and a small buffet which did not look very delectable. Other than that, no notes, refreshments on the boat were great. Do believe the requirement to get a waterproof bag though. Really all you need is that, a towel, swimsuit, sunscreen and bug spray, and footwear you're comfortable walking in cos there's a bit of walking here and there. And most definitely…”

Enjoying the early morning calm of the sea and the beach. Our arrival in Phi Phi was well timed too. Not the first ones on the pier, but I feel that it helped us beat the first rush of every other early bird tour. We walking…”
