Excellent Value - The snorkelling was amazing. We saw a shark around 4 foot long and lots of unusual fish. The boat was large, not crowded at all and the drinking water plentiful. The lunch was amazing, the most authentic meal we’ve had in Thailand. We could not believe the number of different stops and experiences we had for the tiny price of the trip

Excellent tour - The tour is excellent. Speedboat got to Phi Phi in less than 30 minutes. Then we visited all main attractions around. Beaches, snorkeling and lunch. The staff is very friendly and professional. Views are unforgettable!

Bamboo, Phi Phi, Maya Bay etc - Good full-day trip by speedboat with first stop for swimming at Bamboo Island, snorkeling off Monkey Beach, good lunch at Phi Phi and self-sightseeing on the island, boat to Pileh Lagoon and Viking Cave before we went home. We went on a similar trip many years ago and Phi Phi in particular had a more genuine feel then, but it was still interesting to see how the island had changed.

Good tour but could improve - I’ll preface by saying we had to reschedule our tour by a day because of weather but my assumption is this stanfaee. Great people leading our tour so not a reflection of them, but we were disappointed with our trip. Main reason is they combine our day tour with a ferry for others so our first and last stop was dropping and picking people up. It caused us to go to Phi Phi Pier 3 times instead of once. It was our first stop to drop off, a shortened lunch and explore (1 hr 20 mins instead of 2 hrs) and last stop. We felt this caused us to be riding in the boat more rather than enjoying our experience. We felt rushed on all our stops and didn’t get our full time on several. Lastly, our pickup had our boat over capacity (stated 20 max and had almost 30 plus luggage.) We did not feel unsafe just very full and the boat took well over an hour instead of 45 minutes it was suppose to take because of weight. Many people actually felt sick from fumes because the motors struggled.

Overcrowded - Whilst we booked with Opal, without any notice at departure we were instead combined with 3 other tour companies to a company who had dreadful reviews and we didn’t book with. The boat was dangerously overcrowded (50 +) and used as a ferry and we had no option but to sit at the front without shade for the whole day. There was no room to move about the boat. Think twice before booking with this company.

Disappointing, not as advertised - This is not a tour, it's a transfer. Do not book with Opal travel of OhHoo as its the same trip. If you want to actually step foot on Maya bay book with another company. This trip was not as advertised, they turn up at parking space for maya bay, it's a little choppy because of all the boats and they use this as the excuse to not let you off, even though every other boat manages. Opal travel are under too tight a schedule as they need to be back at phi phi don to pick up their transfer passangers back to koh lanta at 1520. Very disappointing.

Choose another boat company - Nature is amazing and everyone definitely must visit the island. About the company: I strongly recommend finding another company to do the tour. They use the tour boat as ferry, picking up/leaving passangers in the stops along the way. Addicionaly, they re-schedule May Bay to the end of the tour and we couldn’t visit because it was closed (it seemed to be set up before as we saw many turists at the beach). We also didn’t visit Bambo Island because the waves was big according to them. About the food we can not review because my wife refuse to try it.

Dangerous, oversubscribed journey - This boat tour is nothing like it says on the tin. The boat itself is a ferry boat, which is used to cart as many people as possible on board, without any consideration for number of seats on board. Half our party were left standing for the trip. Each location visited is beautiful, however you only have 40 minutes there before the boat leaves again, which equates to around 30 minutes maximum on the island, which is overrun by tourists, and other ferry boats. The tour was so unimpressive and against what was promised that our entire group and many others opted to go for a separate lunch, convinced the lunch itself would be as disappointing as the rest of the day, at additional expense to ourselves. The biggest concern was that the return journey was oversubscribed by more than 50% fitting nearly 40 passengers on a boat designed for 23, with additional luggage and suitcases for those heading to the airport by ferry. Do not book this trip if you want a fun, peaceful, private experience, with basic safety measures in place.

Overbooked and Underwhelmed - Expectation: An exclusive speedboat tour with a comfortable 20-person capacity, as advertised. Reality: A cramped ride on what was essentially a ferry, overloaded with 37 people. Expectation: A luxury experience with ample viewing space and safety equipment. Reality: Overcrowding made it impossible to move freely, enjoy the views, or even have the assurance that there were enough life jackets for everyone on board. Expectation: A tranquil journey to beautiful island spots with a focus on customer experience. Reality: The tour was exploited as a ferry route, adding extra passengers and detracting from the tour experience. The stark difference between what was promised and what was delivered has been disheartening. Safety concerns due to insufficient life jackets, coupled with the discomfort of an overcrowded boat, left me feeling deceived and concerned for the welfare of all passengers. Those seeking a true Koh Phi Phi experience should consider other options that guarantee the safety and enjoyment of their guests.
