Phuket/Things to do/ water
A Phi Phi islands day trip
The standard Phuket boat day: Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Bamboo Island and a snorkel stop, about 45km east across the Andaman.
What we checked, 18 September 2026
Twelve Phi Phi trips from Phuket were listed on Klook on 18 September 2026 and every figure published here was re-read on the trip's own page. Three clear our bar of 9.0 out of 10 and 50 reviews with a real sample behind them; the two named below do not. The national park fee below comes from the Department of National Parks' own published fee table, not from a tour seller. We have not done this trip.
Verified via. The islands sit inside Hat Noppharat Thara - Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, whose entrance fees are published by the Department of National Parks in its own dataset. The three operators below were read off their own Klook listing pages on 18 September 2026.

Phi Phi from Phuket is a full day on a boat: roughly 45km east across open water, then a circuit of Ko Phi Phi Le for Maya Bay and the Pileh Lagoon, a snorkel stop, lunch on Phi Phi Don and often Bamboo Island or Khai on the way home.
The park fee is where most of the confusion lives. These islands are inside Hat Noppharat Thara - Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, and the department’s own fee table lists two different rates for it. The general park rate is 200 baht for a foreign adult. The rate for the zone covering Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi Le and Bamboo Island is 400 baht for a foreign adult and 200 for a child. Both numbers are real, which is why half the internet says 200 and the other half says 400. Assume 400, check whether your operator includes it, and carry it in cash if they do not.
Two trips that do not clear our bar, named rather than dropped:
| Operator | Score | Reviews | Clears our bar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phuket Phi Phi Islands & Maiton Full-Day Catamaran Tour | 4.4 / 5 | 95 | No, 8.8 out of 10 |
| Phuket: Phi Phi & Maithon Islands Luxury Yacht Day Tour | 4.3 / 5 | 67 | No, 8.6 out of 10 |
Maya Bay is the part that changes without warning. The bay was closed entirely from 2018 while the reef recovered, and the department has since used seasonal closures under its own announcements, the earliest of which, in the Royal Gazette in 2018, shut Maya Bay and Ao Lo Samah from June to September that year. We could not reach any current department page on 18 September 2026 to confirm what is in force this season, and swimming in the bay has been restricted at times even when it is open. Ask the operator what happens if the bay is shut on your date, before you pay.
No prices for the trips themselves. Klook quotes in US dollars across several packages per operator, so a single figure here would not match your checkout. The park fee above is the number worth knowing in advance.

Limestone scenery and clear water, on the trip Phuket is built around selling

You want the bay to yourself. Every boat from Phuket, Krabi and Phi Phi arrives in the same few hours
