What we checked, 18 September 2026

One operator is listed because one is what we can stand behind. The best-selling Phi Phi trip from Krabi reports 4.7 from 3,118 reviews, an identical count to the same seller's Four Islands trip, and we could not establish whether that is a shared rating across products or a coincidence, so we have not published it. The listed operator's 4.6 from 404 reviews is its own. The park fee comes from the department's published table, where the 400 baht rate is scoped to exactly these islands. We have not done this trip. The Maya Bay closure dates were added on 19 September 2026 from the Department of National Parks' 2026 closure announcement, as republished by the Tourism Authority of Thailand. Maya Bay reopened on 1 October 2026, according to a Thaiger news report of that day.

Verified via. The islands sit in the zone of Hat Noppharat Thara - Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park that the Department of National Parks prices at 400 baht for a foreign adult and 200 for a child, as against 200 and 100 for the rest of the park. The operator below was read off its own Klook listing page on 18 September 2026.

Separate companies, listed separately. We do not average scores across operators, because the average would describe a trip you cannot book.

Phi Phi from Krabi is a shorter crossing than from Phuket, about 40km, and the same circuit at the other end: Maya Bay on Phi Phi Le, the Pileh Lagoon, Monkey Beach, a snorkel stop and often Bamboo Island.

The fee, and why it is the higher one here. The department’s table prices Hat Noppharat Thara - Mu Ko Phi Phi twice: 200 baht for a foreign adult in general, and 400 baht in the zone covering Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi Le and Bamboo Island. This trip goes to exactly that zone, so 400 is the right number to have in cash, and a listing that quotes 200 for a Phi Phi trip is quoting the wrong row.

Why only one operator. The trip that sells the most from Krabi reports an identical score and review count to the same seller’s Four Islands trip, down to the last review. We could not work out whether the platform is pooling ratings across that seller’s products, and publishing a figure we cannot explain is not something this site does. So the listing here is the one whose numbers are unambiguously its own, at 4.6 from 404 reviews, which clears our bar of 9.0 out of 10 and 50 reviews.

Maya Bay has a closed season. The bay was closed completely from 2018 to let the reef recover and has had seasonal closures since. The Department of National Parks’ 2026 closure announcement shuts Maya Bay, Loh Samah and Ao Loh Ko from 1 August to 30 September 2026. Ask the operator what the trip includes on your date. Our Maya Bay page has more.

No trip prices here. US dollars, several packages, one figure would be wrong.
