Which should you choose?

If you are staying overnight on Phi Phi Don, the ferry is smoother and easier with luggage. For a day visit hitting several spots, a speedboat day tour with hotel pickup and snorkel gear is good value and saves you arranging anything yourself.

FAQ

How long is the boat from Phuket to Phi Phi?

About 2 hours by ferry and around 1 hour by speedboat, mostly departing from Rassada Pier on the east side of Phuket.

Should I visit Phi Phi as a day trip or stay overnight?

A day trip suits short schedules and ticking off highlights like Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon. Staying overnight on Phi Phi Don suits a slower pace, sunrise and sunset, and escaping the midday tour crowds.
