Koh Phi Phi/Things to do/ water
Island snorkelling from Phi Phi
The half and full day snorkelling runs that leave from Ton Sai rather than the mainland. Neither clears our pick bar, and both are here with their numbers showing.
What we checked, 21 September 2026
Checked on 21 September 2026. This is the first listing on the site to carry the Also Listed badge, which exists for exactly this case. A third trip by the same supplier, a seven-island longtail day, scores 3.9 out of 5 across 75 reviews, which is 7.8 out of 10 and below even this tier's floor, so it is named here and not listed. No price is published because Viator quotes in the currency of wherever you are sitting. We have not done either of these.
Verified via. Both products were read on their own Viator product pages on 21 September 2026, where Viator names the supplier as Oh-Hoo for both.

Two boats, same supplier, same islands, different speed. The longtail is the slow, noisy, traditional one; the speedboat covers more ground and costs more. Both leave from Ton Sai on Phi Phi Don rather than from the mainland.
Neither is a pick, and the numbers say why. The longtail sits at 4.0 out of 5 across 66 reviews. The speedboat scores better, 4.5, but only 42 people have rated it, and our bar for a Researched Pick is fifty. A third trip from the same supplier scores 3.9 and is not listed at all.
They are here because the alternative is silence. Nearly everything sold as a “Phi Phi tour” departs from Phuket or Krabi and is aimed at day-trippers. If you are staying on the island, these are what actually leaves from it, and you are better off seeing the scores than guessing.
Maya Bay is shut until 1 October. The park closure runs from 1 August to 30 September 2026, so ask what the route becomes. Our Maya Bay page has the detail, and the sunrise trip is the better boat when the bay reopens.
