Looking for a Phi Phi Island tour from Phuket at a budget price? This big boat day trip takes you to the archipelago’s famous sights on a large, stable ferry-style boat with a buffet lunch. Silver seats are the value option on the main deck, and the bigger boat is a good choice if you get seasick on speedboats.

Big boat or speedboat?
A big boat is cheaper, steadier and has more room to move around, but it cannot enter small bays or shallow water. For example, it stops at the entrance to Maya Bay rather than landing on the beach. If you want more stops and beach time, look at our low budget Phi Phi Islands and Khai Islands speedboat trip.
Staying overnight on Phi Phi
The same big boat can also be booked one way or as a return to Phi Phi Don, so you can stay a night or two on the island and enjoy it after the day-trippers leave. Ask the team on WhatsApp for ferry-only tickets.
What to bring
- Swimwear, towel, hat and sunglasses.
- Reef-safe sunscreen.
- Cash for the national park fee (not included) and drinks.
- A light jacket for the air-conditioned cabin.
Tips
- Maya Bay closes every year in August and September, and swimming in the bay is never allowed.
- Do not feed or touch the monkeys at Monkey Beach.
- Not recommended for pregnant women, babies under one year or travellers with limited mobility.
