Incredible time on Maya Bay Sleepaboard - Highly recommend staying a night on the Maya bay sleep aboard. I stayed here a few weeks ago and it was one of the best nights I had in Koh Phi phi. From night snorkeling with glowing green plankton, to kayaking, to a private beach campfire with drinks and games, it was an incredible time. Not to mention two visits to beautiful Maya Bay where “The Beach” was filmed. The staff were all helpful and friendly and really made the whole trip run smoothly. Sleeping on the upper deck is not too bad since you are partying at night and then wake up pretty early for a morning view of Maya bay. But it is all totally worth it if you are looking for a unique and memorable experience you can’t get anywhere else on Koh phi phi!

Most memorable experience - Let’s start by saying the owner went above and beyond to accommodate our group. The staff were amazing. Food was delicious. Private bonfire was so fun. Sleeping under the stars was the highlight of my experience. To be honest I can’t do this excursion justice with a simple review. Stay overnight. You won’t regret it. I’ll never forget this experience. Thank you for everything!

Unique and unforgettable experience! - Incredible experience in Thailand 🇹🇭. Something to put on the MUST DO LIST. To start with let’s talk about the AMAZING and FRIENDLY staff ❤️. Everyone extremely friendly and helpful on the Team aboard. Funny tour guides, making jokes all times and making everyone feel comfortable and home aboard. Great boat, with everything you need to feel safe and secure. They do offer kayak and snorkeling equipments, and the higiene of everything it was incredible! They also have 2 fresh water small showers, so after each swim in the ocean you can easily get read off the salty water from your body. The offer food, and the taste of it is incredible! Fresh seafood, the Capitan does all the fishing 🎣 whilst we were having fun. They do offer drinks, cocktails for free, all times fresh and delicious fruit and water to drink as much as you like. But the highlight of this trip is to sleep under the starts 🌌 and wake up with one of the most incredible sunrise 🌅 in the middle of the ocean and some cliffs on the middle of Thailand 🇹🇭. MAGICAL & UNFORGETTABLE 💕. Next day we went to ask for some recommendation about someone to take us in a long tale boat to go around another islands, and they have arranged everything for us. Great price, nice Capitan again and fresh fruit on the way back. Highly recommend this company.

Money taken during tour - ****Money taken during tour**** I wanted to give this place 5 stars because the tour is really fun and we had the best time on the sleep aboard trip. Snorkeling in the bioluminescent plankton and having a bonfire on the beach and playing games was our favorite part. The food was really good especially the barbecue chicken. Most of the crew was great. That being said when we went to go to tip the crew at the end of our trip we were missing significant amount of money. The office was no help to us they didn’t even offer to summon the police and help with a police report as there was a language barrier. The owners insisted it was another customer that took it, however we had our money on us at all times unless we were in the water which was done as a group. I normally wouldn’t even post a review but I don’t want what happened to us to happen to another customer. I’d still recommend this tour but find a way to keep your money on your person at all times or just bring enough to tip. We were really disappointed it ended this way and will not be returning.
