Phi Phi Islands & Maya Bay Boat Tour from Phuket with Food

The tour runs roughly 8.5 hours, departing around 9:30 AM and returning by early evening.Is it for me?Book the Elite option if your hotel is on the Phuket mainland and you want pickup included; the Value option departs from AA Marina, so you'll arrange your own way there. Either way, the all-day food—breakfast, lunch, and fruit—means you're not hunting for meals between islands or paying extra at vendors. The speedboat is fast and can be rough, so it suits travelers who don't get motion sickness easily; free seasick pills help, but they're not a guarantee. Infants must sit on an adult's lap, and the tour is not suitable for passengers under 1 or over 70, or for anyone with serious heart, lung, spinal, or mobility issues.Free cancellationInfants freefromUS$ 40View ›
