What a typical tour includes
Koh Phi Phi: most tours include snorkelling gear and lunch
Most full-day tours include hotel pickup in Phuket, lunch, snorkelling gear and a guide. A typical route covers Maya Bay (walking only, no swimming), Pileh Lagoon, the Viking Cave, Loh Samah Bay, Monkey Beach and a lunch stop on Phi Phi Don. Many add Khai Island or Bamboo Island. Read the inclusions carefully, especially the park fee, hotel transfer zone and whether lunch is a buffet or a set meal.
When to go
Maya Bay, Koh Phi Phi Leh: closed every August and September
Maya Bay is closed every year from 1 August to 30 September, so tours in those months skip it. Seas are calmest from November to April. Operators may change or cancel routes in rough weather.

Practical tips
Compare the same tour across several websites before booking. Prices can differ by thousands of baht.
Check whether the park fee is included. If it isn't, bring cash and ask for a ticket.
Choose a catamaran if anyone in your group gets seasick. Speedboats can feel bouncy in choppy water.
Book an early departure. You'll reach Maya Bay before the biggest crowds.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Booking the first price you see without comparing. The same tour can cost more than double elsewhere.
- Assuming "from" prices apply to every date. Some dates and seat options cost more.
- Booking in August or September expecting Maya Bay. It's closed for coral recovery.
- Ignoring the hotel pickup zone. Some tours charge extra for pickups outside main areas.
