Frequently Asked Questions & Travel Tips

How long does the cruise take from Phuket to Phi Phi Island?

The cruise trip takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to travel from Phuket harbor to Phi Phi Islands.

What is the difference between a cruise tour and a speedboat tour?

A cruise offers a smoother, more comfortable ride with indoor air-conditioned seating and space to walk around, making it ideal for families and seniors. Speedboats travel faster (~45 minutes) and land directly on smaller beaches.

What should I bring on the tour?

We recommend bringing swimwear, shorts, a light T-shirt, beach towels, sunblock, a sun hat, sunglasses, a camera, and local cash for pier fees or personal snacks.

Safety Regulations: Life jackets must be worn during boat activities. Accident insurance covers passengers up to age 60. Feeding fish or stepping on coral reefs is strictly illegal in Thai National Parks.
