Full description

This is a 8-hour experience in Phuket, built around Royal Phuket Marina, Sawanu Travel (Phuket Branch) and Catamaran. It is run by Thailand Escapes, 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.

Pickup is offered from Khao Lak and Phuket; the exact spot and time are agreed with Thailand Escapes once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Hotel round-trip transfer, Light breakfast at Sawanu's lounge, Bottled drinking water, Thai style buffet lunch in Arida Restaurant on Koh Phi Phi and Snorkeling equipment. It does not cover Snorkeling fins, Gratuities for the captain & guide and Personal spending money, 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.

Thailand Escapes sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Thailand Escapes before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Masse statt Klasse. Alles extrem durchgetaktet. Ca. 100 Leute auf einem Speed Katamaran. Kaum Zeit etwas richtig zu genießen. Vielleicht lieber etwas mehr für eine individuelle Tour investieren. Oder selbst mit der Fähre nach Koh Phi Phi fahren und vor Ort mit dem typischen Longtailboot individuell die Inseln erkunden.

Phi phi was erg mooi, de ontvangst en het eten waren ook goed. Verder viel de excursie tegen, met name door de continue tijdsdruk. Het voelde de hele dag gehaast, en vaak als wezelf op tijd kwamen konden we alsnog wachten op de boot etc. Tijdens de excursie werden ook nog extra opties verkocht, dit was vantevoren voren ook niet duidelijk. Doordat sommige personen deze extra opties wel kochten, moest de rest wederom wachten. Als laatste minpuntje, onze gids was een schreeuwerige man die het eerste deel van de dag voornamelijk de extra opties aan het verkopen was. conclusie: phi phi is prachtig,

Der schlimmste Ausflug aller Zeiten! Einen ganzen Tag in Thailand verschwendet. Wir würden in Khao Lak um 06.00 Uhr abgeholt waren um 07.00 Uhr da und um 09.30 Sollte der Ausflug los gehen und um 10.00 Uhr war es dann endlich soweit. Das Boot war i.O. Der Guide meinte vor Eintreffen das wir unbedingt am pünktlich am Treffpunkt sein müssen das war ansonsten nicht mit zurück kommen und die dann los fahren. Dann kamen wir an im Absoluten Massenchaos. wir wollten gar nicht mehr vom Boot als wir die Massen an Menschen gesehen haben. wir wussten es ist voll aber diese Massen haben wir komplett unter

Never went due to the operator changing the pick up time. Started at 9.30am then 8am and with only a few hours notice went to 6am, I contacted them to say it was to early, they said basically tough and we could cancel but no refund, There are many other operators doing this trip and I advise you to use a different one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Thailand Escapes sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover snorkeling fins, gratuities for the captain & guide and personal spending money. 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 Premium Powercat to Phi Phi and Khai Islands is typically 8 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.
