Phuket to Koh Phi Phi Destination Reviews

I traveled via Speedboat from Rassada Pier to Tonsai Pier during what is still considered monsoon season, early October. It was raining when I arrived to the pier and for part of the trek on the sea. I do recommend getting there at least 45 minutes early to figure out where you’re going at the pier. (FYI: bring toilet paper for the Rassada pier - they make you buy it.) Despite rain, there were no problems, still an easy, safe, and fun ride. The staff take luggage and place it either under seats or in a secure closed area so no matter how heavy your luggage is, it will work out. The boat was really clean and there was even a bathroom on the boat, if needed. The boat I took wasn’t full so I had a whole row to myself. If it were busy season, you might feel a bit cramped, but still worth booking this boat. Cool experience….we left on time and arrived early. Highly recommend this particular operator!

It was a great trip but took longer than expected (2:45 instead of 2hours) because we did the tour of Koh Phi Phi Leu without any reason

12go Asia confirmed another pick up point. The boat company driver waited in front of the hotel but we are asked to go to a transfer station (from 12go Asia). We had to go back to the hotel. Seems that the communication between the companies doesnt went well.

How long does it take to walk across Koh Phi Phi?

Walking across Koh Phi Phi, specifically the main island of Koh Phi Phi Don, can take approximately 30–45 minutes depending on the route and pace. The island is small and lacks motorized transport, making it ideal for walking. Popular routes include from Tonsai Bay to Loh Dalum Beach or hiking to the Phi Phi Viewpoint, which offers panoramic views of the island. Paths may involve some uphill climbs, so proper footwear is recommended. Most areas are easily accessible, but it’s worth noting that some paths can be narrow or uneven. Exploring on foot allows visitors to appreciate the island’s natural beauty, including lush vegetation, limestone cliffs, and the clear waters surrounding it. Consider carrying water and avoiding the midday heat for a more comfortable experience.

Is Koh Phi Phi a day trip from Phuket?

Organized day tours are popular, offering activities such as snorkeling, swimming, and exploring Maya Bay or Monkey Beach. These tours typically include lunch and sometimes stops at nearby islands, providing a comprehensive experience. However, staying overnight allows visitors to enjoy a more relaxed pace and experience the island's nightlife. Day trips are suitable for those with limited time, but travelers should plan for an early start to maximize their time on Koh Phi Phi.
