Phi Phi Island Excursions from Chiang Mai

When comparing the 8 options we track across booking platforms, prices typically range from $60 to $1,081. The median price sits around $150, though you will find some budget-friendly sightseeing tours near the lower end and private charters reaching the higher end of that band.

Most tours are full-day experiences. The duration typically spans 8 to 10 hours, with a median length of 8 hours. This allows enough time for hotel pickup, boat travel, island exploration, and return transit.

The majority of options are all-inclusive packages designed to minimize extra costs on the day. Specifically:

• Meals are included in 88% of the tours.
• Hotel pickup and drop-off is provided by 75% of the operators.
• Equipment (such as snorkeling gear) is supplied by 75% of the tours.
• Drinks are included in roughly 62% of the options.
• A guide is present in 62% of the tours.

Yes, but it is not the standard format. While 75% of the options we compare are group tours, 25% (2 of the 8 listings) are offered as private tours. Private options tend to fall toward the higher end of the price spectrum ($400+) and offer more flexibility in itinerary and pace.

Same-day booking is generally feasible because 100% of the tours we compare offer instant confirmation. Additionally, 75% (6 of the 8 options) allow free cancellation, giving you flexibility if your plans change after booking.

Guides are offered in four languages across the available options: English, Thai, Simplified Chinese (Zh-Cn), and Chinese. If you require a specific language other than English or Thai, you should check the individual listing details before booking, as availability varies by operator.

The data suggests these tours are versatile but lean towards leisure and nature. They are tagged as Family Friendly by 38% of the options and suitable for Couples by 25%. Since 100% of the tours focus on Nature themes and 75% are Sightseeing Tours, they are ideal for travellers looking for relaxed island hopping rather than high-intensity adventure.

Use red songthaews for fixed routes or hire private tuk tuks for flexibility. Negotiate prices before boarding to avoid overcharging.

Choose camps that ban riding and feeding. Verify their rescue status online before booking to ensure animal welfare standards are met.

Most vendors only accept cash. Carry small baht notes for easier transactions. ATMs are widely available near major market areas.
