Full description

This is a 10-hour experience in Phuket, built around Phuket, Speedboat and Maya Bay. It is run by Amazing Canoeing, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Arashiyama, on Kyoto's western edge, is the bamboo grove, the Togetsukyo bridge over the Katsura river, the gardens of Tenryu-ji and the monkey park on the hill above. The bamboo path is about 500 metres and is photographed empty in every guidebook because those photographs are taken before 7:30; by mid-morning it is a procession. Rickshaw runs, the Sagano scenic railway along the gorge, and boat rides down the Hozu rapids all start here. Autumn colour peaks in the second half of November and cherry blossom around the first week of April.

The price covers Phuket hotel pickup and drop-off, National park fees, Small refreshment at Royal Phuket Marina office, Actual information about boat tour and Two snorkeling sessions. It does not cover Tips, Alcoholic Beverages and Fins, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Hotel pickup in Phuket. Amazing Canoeing confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Amazing Canoeing before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We had an amazing day with the guide "James" and the Places where soooo beautiful. I can't wait to go again. The crew was very caring, they got more than enough to drink for everyone and lookd for the safety of every person! The instructions where clearly to understand and the atmosphere was excellent and funny. we had a really good experience, even through it was really crowded with people on some spots, what was clearly to be expected. My husband and me had some really good conversations with James and he told some interesting information around the spot. Thanks to the crew and James for suc

speedboot zat overvol. Gids Nana was opdringerig om extra activiteiten onderweg te verkopen. We moesten maar een longtailboot nemen voor 3000 bath anders bleven we achter op de boot voor 50 minuten en zouden we zeeziek worden. Achteraf was het onzin (uiteraard). Overvol op alle locaties. 10 minuten monkey island, 100 meter verderop 1x snorkelen in de schaduw op een plek waar niks te zien is voor 20 minuten. Het was een gejaag van het ene naar het andere. Terug in de haven kwam Nana met de tipbox rond. ik wilde niks geven aangezien ik niet gediend was van haar gedrag op de hele trip. Toen volgd

I don’t recommend at all! The worst company ever, I advise you to not register to them. I was sick mostly because of the bad quality of the transportation where we needed to take a long road to take all the clients at each hotel. After asking a reschedule to another date, they have proposed to pay a total amount of 3000 baths and they did me a discount to 2400 baths probably because it was Christmas. Knowing that activity have costed me already almost 11000 baths, I think they don’t have a good commercial spirit.

Fantastic outing!:) Our guide Noonit was absolutely fantastic, informative and super friendly. Highly recommend this activity. If anything, there could’ve been a bit more time at each stop, but that would’ve extended the trip:)

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Phuket. Amazing Canoeing confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover tips, alcoholic beverages (available for purchase at royal phuket marina) and fins (available for rent at royal phuket marina). Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Not in rough sea. The Andaman side is calm from November to April and choppy from May to October, when the marine office can close the piers at short notice; if that happens the operator moves you to the next day or refunds in full. Seasickness tablets the night before help on speedboats, and Maya Bay itself closes to visitors in August and September each year.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The duration of the Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands Snorkeling by Speedboat is typically 10 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.
Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.
Yes! All our private tours are fully customizable. Whether you want to add extra stops, skip certain locations, change the pace, or adjust the start time — simply let your guide know in advance or on the day. We aim to create a personalized experience tailored to your interests and energy level.
We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a partial charge depending on the tour type. Weather-related cancellations for outdoor and boat tours are handled on a case-by-case basis, with full refunds or free rebooking offered when safety is a concern.
Most of our experiences are family-friendly and suitable for children of all ages. However, some tours involving extensive walking, water activities, or early morning starts may be better suited for children aged 5 and above. Please check the specific tour description for age recommendations, or contact us for personalized family itinerary advice.
After booking, you will receive detailed meeting point instructions via email. Most tours include complimentary hotel pickup within the central area. For tours without pickup, your confirmation email will include the exact address, Google Maps pin, and your guide's phone number for easy coordination. Guides typically arrive 10 minutes early and will message you on WhatsApp.
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, Apple Pay, and Razorpay for Indian cards. All payments are processed through a PCI-compliant secure gateway with 256-bit encryption. You can also pay in multiple currencies — the price is automatically converted to your local currency at checkout.
Yes, all AsiaByLocals guides are licensed professionals who have been rigorously vetted through background checks, skill assessments, and customer reviews. Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
The dry season from November to April offers the best weather for island-hopping tours and beach activities. December to March is peak season with calm seas, perfect for Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay boat trips. May to October (monsoon) is quieter and cheaper but some boat tours may be affected by rough seas. See our Phuket travel guide for detailed month-by-month advice.
Phuket is one of Southeast Asia's safest tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure, friendly locals, and a strong tourist police presence. Standard precautions apply: use reputable transport, stay aware in crowded areas, and book verified tours through trusted platforms. For water activities, all our tours include safety equipment and experienced crew.
The top experiences include: the Phi Phi Islands for snorkeling and Maya Bay, Phang Nga Bay for dramatic limestone cliffs and James Bond Island, the Big Buddha for panoramic views, Wat Chalong temple, and the charming Phuket Old Town for street food and Sino-Portuguese architecture. See our things to do guide for the complete list.
Yes! Direct flights between Phuket and Bangkok take just 1 hour 20 minutes. We recommend 3–4 days in Phuket for island tours, then 2–3 days in Bangkok for temples, markets, and street food. Our local guides operate in both cities for seamless trip planning.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering water sports before booking any speedboat tour or island-hopping excursion. While all our boats carry safety equipment and licensed crews, Thai hospital costs can be significant without coverage. Ensure your policy covers emergency medical evacuation and water activity accidents.
