Phi Phi Island Tour from Phuket: Price

A shared speedboat day to Phi Phi from Phuket costs from about US$36 to US$42 a person, a premium day or speed catamaran from about US$80 to US$125, and a private longtail day from about US$142 (October 2026). Then add the national park fee, 400 baht an adult and 200 baht a child, unless your option includes it, and a few small extras on the day. The classic speedboat day is from US$42 a person in current promotion (usually US$56) (checked October 2026), with the park fee in the price or paid at the pier, depending on the option.

The price by kind of day

On a phone, swipe the table sideways.

Prices per person from the GetYourGuide listings, checked October 2026; all per person except the private longtail day, which is priced for up to 2.

The cheap days differ less than their prices suggest: all of them cross by speedboat, land at Maya Bay, stop at Pileh Lagoon and Viking Cave and give you lunch on Phi Phi Don. What you pay more for is a smaller boat or group, a better lunch, an earlier start, or the park fee already settled.

The national park fee

Phi Phi Don, Phi Phi Le and Bamboo Island are in Hat Noppharat Thara - Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, which charges 400 baht an adult and 200 baht a child to land on them. The Khai Islands, east of Phuket in Phang Nga province, are outside the park; a 20-baht-a-person charge is collected there, included on some listings. On many listings you choose: an option with the fee in the price, or a cheaper option where you pay it in cash at the pier check-in. On a few (V. Marine’s premium and sunrise days, Sea Angel’s speedboat) it is always included; on the private longtail days it is always extra, paid on the spot. Since 15 October 2025 the park sells entry only through the Department of National Parks’ e-ticket system, which now covers six Andaman marine parks; keep yours, because park officers can check it on Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Le.

The small extras

• The longtail ride in Pileh Lagoon: an optional local longtail around the lagoon, 300 baht on Thai Adventure Club's day and 400 baht on Good Morning Holiday's, paid on the day.
• Fins: some days include them; others rent them at the pier, 100 baht a pair on Good Morning Holiday's day.
• Khai Island: a 20-baht island fee on the days that stop there; Good Morning Holiday's day includes it.
• Card payments: Queen of Andaman's day adds about 5% for card payments. Bring cash.
• Hotel pickup outside the main areas: Phuket Sea Trails charges 1,500 baht a van for Cape Panwa and nearby, and extra for the far north of the island.

Is the cheapest day the best value?

For most people the US$36 to US$42 shared speedboats are the value pick: the same islands as the premium days, a guide and lunch included. Recent reviews of the cheaper days are mostly positive and mostly about the crew. The low ones are about crowded boats (“packed shoulder to shoulder”, one Sea Angel guest wrote), short stops and a rough ride on choppy days. A premium day buys a smaller group and a calmer schedule more than different islands: V. Marine’s sunrise day is rated 4.9 from 1,712 reviews.
