We’ve had a luck to go for a private boat trip around Phi-Phi Don (main Phi-Phi island) with Pan Longtail on January 10th 2025. First of all, they were the most responsive of all: I got WhatsApp replies quickly and clear. Then, the pricing was reasonable from the very beginning. The guys gave me some gentle advices on when it’s best time to go regarding the weather and tides (and in advance - I should have listened lol), but at the end of the day it was me to decide. Finally, we went to the planned trip on time, and this is where Pan (our Captain) was able to demonstrate all his skills. We’ve got some waves - yet not a storm, but quite a wind.

We went with him for 6hrs tour around the island and used his service 4 times to get from Saii to Tonsai and back.

We paid: 6 hours tour around the island for couple- 3600 BHT

Read moreWe had a great time visiting the Phi Phi islands with Pan Longtail Boat. He was very responsive via WhatsApp from the beginning, confirming all the details.
On the day of the trip he met us on the ferry stop, so everything was very seamless. The places we visited were recommendations from Pan and they were very beautiful. There was also snorkeling equipment on the boat, which made the experience even better. During thr whole trip Pan offered us cold water and cold sodas. He has a speaker on which we could play music we like. After out trip we forgot something important on the boat and Pan was very helpful and responsive to make sure that it got back to us.
Overall amazing experience, I would highly recommend visiting Phi...
