What is a Phi Phi island tour and who is it for?
A Phi Phi island tour is a day trip by speedboat or longtail boat from Krabi or Phuket to the Phi Phi Islands, usually including Maya Bay, snorkeling stops and sometimes a stop at Koh Hong (Hong Island). It suits travelers short on time who still want the Andaman Sea’s best-known scenery in one day.
What a typical itinerary includes
A standard Phi Phi day trip bundles hotel pickup, the speedboat crossing, a photo stop at Maya Bay, one or two snorkeling spots, lunch on some tours, and the return transfer. Stops shift with weather and tides. Each operator’s page lists its own confirmed route.
Phi Phi vs 4 Islands vs Hong Island routes
Phi Phi sits furthest out, with dramatic cliffs and Maya Bay. The 4 Islands by Speedboat tour and Koh Hong stay closer to Krabi, with calmer lagoons and shorter crossings. Travelers prone to seasickness or traveling with young children often prefer the nearer routes.
How much does a Phi Phi island tour cost?
Krabi Ezy Trails offers its Phi Phi Early Bird + 4 Islands speedboat tour at a promotional THB 2,500 per adult (regular THB 4,200) and THB 1,800 per child aged 3-11 (regular THB 3,000), while a private charter to Phi Phi Islands costs THB 29,000 for up to 25 people. National park entry fees are usually billed separately at the pier.

The Krabi Ezy Trails Phi Phi Early Bird + 4 Islands speedboat tour is priced at a promotional THB 2,500 per adult (regular THB 4,200) and THB 1,800 per child aged 3-11 (regular THB 3,000). Prices can change, so check the Krabi Ezy Trails tour page before booking.
Shared tour vs private charter pricing
Shared tours quote a per-person fare, so two people pay far less than booking a whole boat. A private speedboat charter is a boat booked exclusively for one group. The Krabi Ezy Trails Phi Phi charter at THB 29,000 for up to 25 people works out cheaper per head once your group grows.
What’s usually included vs extra
The national park fee is a separate entry charge for protected areas like Maya Bay, set by park authorities rather than the operator. On the Krabi Ezy Trails tour pages it is listed as THB 400 per adult and THB 200 per child, paid separately on top of the fare. Check whether lunch, snorkel gear and the park fee are bundled.
Phi Phi island tour costs and inclusions
Phi Phi island tour costs range from budget snorkeling trips to premium lunch-included packages. Krabi Ezy Trails offers its Phi Phi + 4 Islands Sunset by speedboat at a promotional THB 2,500 per adult (regular THB 4,200) and THB 1,800 per child aged 3-11 (regular THB 3,000). Inclusions like lunch, smaller groups or extra stops can push prices higher.
The Krabi Ezy Trails Phi Phi + 4 Islands Sunset speedboat tour is priced at a promotional THB 2,500 per adult (regular THB 4,200) and THB 1,800 per child aged 3-11 (regular THB 3,000). Prices can change, so check the Krabi Ezy Trails tour page before booking.
Budget vs premium tour inclusions
Budget tours pack more guests per boat and often skip lunch. Premium tiers add a sit-down meal, smaller groups and extra snorkeling stops. If you value elbow room and a slower pace, the higher price usually buys fewer people on board rather than a different route.
Phi Phi sunrise and sunset tours compared
Phi Phi sunrise and sunset tours differ mainly in crowd levels and lighting. Krabi Ezy Trails runs both an early bird and a sunset departure, each priced at a promotional THB 2,500 per adult (regular THB 4,200) and THB 1,800 per child aged 3-11 (regular THB 3,000). Prices can change, so check the Krabi Ezy Trails tour page before booking.
Why early departures matter at Maya Bay
An early bird tour is a Phi Phi departure that leaves before sunrise or at first light to reach Maya Bay ahead of the main fleet. Arriving early means fewer boats in the frame and quieter water. See the Phi Phi Early Bird + 4 Islands speedboat tour details for a route built around that timing.
Sunset tour atmosphere and crowd levels
Sunset trips trade the dawn rush for golden-hour light and thinning crowds as day-trip boats head home. They suit travelers who prefer a lie-in over a 5am start. Browse the Phi Phi Sunset tour by speedboat option if evening light appeals more than beating the morning queue.
Krabi island tours beyond Phi Phi: Hong Island and 4 Islands
Krabi island tours beyond Phi Phi include Koh Hong (Hong Island) and the 4 Islands by Speedboat tour, both popular for calmer lagoons and shorter transfers. Krabi Ezy Trails prices private speedboat charters at THB 20,000 for Krabi 4 Islands and THB 25,000 for Hong Islands, both for up to 25 people, as separate options from Phi Phi.
| Route | Private charter price | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Krabi 4 Islands | THB 20,000 | Up to 25 |
| Hong Islands | THB 25,000 | Up to 25 |
Koh Hong lagoon highlights
Koh Hong is known for its sheltered emerald lagoon ringed by limestone cliffs, calm enough for easy swimming and kayaking. The shorter crossing from Krabi makes it a gentler choice. See the Koh Hong Early Bird tour itinerary for a timing that reaches the lagoon before the crowds.
Combining 4 Islands with Phi Phi
Some itineraries pair nearby 4 Islands stops with an early Phi Phi run, giving variety in one day. This works best as an early bird departure. Squeezing both routes later means more boats and less time at each stop.
Shared tour or private speedboat charter: which fits your trip?
Shared tours suit solo travelers or couples who want the lowest per-person price, while private speedboat charters suit families or groups wanting flexible timing and no strangers on board. Krabi Ezy Trails prices charters by destination, from THB 20,000 for 4 Islands up to THB 35,000 for Phang Nga Bay, for up to 25 people.
| Route | Private charter price | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Krabi 4 Islands | THB 20,000 | Up to 25 |
| Hong Islands | THB 25,000 | Up to 25 |
| Phi Phi Islands | THB 29,000 | Up to 25 |
| Phang Nga Bay | THB 35,000 | Up to 25 |
Group size and comfort considerations
Per-person cost drops fast as your group grows on a private charter. For a family of four or five, a shared tour may still be cheaper. But a full charter of 25 splits THB 29,000 to Phi Phi into a modest per-head figure. Compare both before you decide.
Flexible stops with a private charter
A private speedboat charter lets you set the schedule, stops and pace, since no strangers share the boat. That flexibility is the main reason groups pay more. See the full private speedboat charter pricing and hotel pickup and return service details before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the national park fee included in the tour price?
Often not. National park fees for places like Maya Bay are frequently charged separately from the tour fare. On the Krabi Ezy Trails tour pages they are listed as THB 400 per adult and THB 200 per child, paid separately. Check the tour page or expect to pay at the park, rather than assuming the fee is bundled into the quoted tour price.
What is the difference between an early bird tour and a regular Phi Phi tour?
An early bird tour departs before sunrise or at first light to reach Maya Bay and other popular stops before the bulk of day-trip boats arrive. A regular Phi Phi tour departs later in the morning and typically meets larger crowds at the same spots.
Can I book a private speedboat instead of a shared tour to Phi Phi?
Yes. Private speedboat charters are available for travelers who want their own boat and schedule instead of joining a shared group. Krabi Ezy Trails prices a private charter to the Phi Phi Islands at THB 29,000 for up to 25 people.
How long does a Krabi to Phi Phi day trip take?
A Krabi to Phi Phi day trip typically runs a full day. It combines hotel pickup, the speedboat crossing, stops at Maya Bay and nearby snorkeling spots, and the return trip. Exact duration depends on the specific tour and the departure time you book.
Is Koh Hong part of a Phi Phi tour or a separate trip?
Koh Hong (Hong Island) is generally sold as a separate route from Phi Phi, often paired with other nearby islands in a 4 Islands itinerary. Krabi Ezy Trails offers it as its own private charter option at THB 25,000 for up to 25 people.
