Phi Phi Island Tour Pickup
Phi Phi tour pickup from Phuket hotels: pickup windows from 7:00, the areas covered, the piers at Koh Siray, Rassada and Royal Phuket Marina.
Most Phi Phi day trips from Phuket include a shared minibus from your hotel, collecting you between about 7:00 and 9:00 and taking 40 minutes to 2 hours to reach the pier, depending on where you stay. The boats leave from piers on Phuket’s east coast, at Koh Siray and Rassada, Royal Phuket Marina and Chalong, not from the west-coast beaches. Pickup covers Patong, Kata, Karon and Phuket Town on most listings; other areas can cost extra. The classic speedboat day collects you between 7:00 and 8:00 and is from US$42 a person in current promotion (usually US$56) (checked October 2026).

Which areas are covered
The shared pickups are built around the west-coast beaches and Phuket Town. Sea Angel's covers Kata, Karon, Patong, Kamala, Surin, Bang Tao and Phuket Town; Phuket Sea Trails adds Chalong Bay, Kathu, Kalim, Tri Trang and Siray Bay. Outside those areas it changes from one listing to the next:
- Bang Tao, Laguna and Layan: Phuket Sea Trails meets you at a set point at Boat Avenue rather than at your hotel.
- Rawai and Nai Harn: Phuket Sea Trails uses a set meeting point in Rawai.
- Cape Panwa and the east coast: an extra 1,500 baht a van on Phuket Sea Trails.
- The far north (Nai Yang, Mai Khao, Ao Po): an extra charge on some listings; others include it.
- Khao Lak: Seanery's catamaran collects from Khao Lak for 3,500 baht a van; there are no pickups from Krabi. If you are staying in Krabi or Ao Nang, phiphiislandstour.com covers the boats from there and from Phi Phi Don.
If you are staying outside the covered areas, the meet-at-the-pier option is usually cheaper than the surcharge, and a taxi or ride-hailing car to the pier is easy to book; Good Morning Holiday sends ride-hailing links the day before.
How early, and how late back
Pickup times are long because the minibus collects several hotels before the pier: wait in the lobby 10 to 15 minutes before your time, because late guests are left behind. Most days are back at the pier between 17:00 and 18:30, then the drive home. One Asia’s and the premium catamaran’s listings both advise against booking on the day of a flight.
The ferry piers are different
The public ferries to Phi Phi Don leave from Rassada Pier, with their own pickup options, and go to Ton Sai pier only. Speedboat vs big boat explains when the ferry is the right choice.
