We've booked this excursion in a kiosk on the street and paid 1200BHT per person for the whole day including transfer from the hotel, speedboot and lunch/drinks included.
You can also take a normal boat (which is cheaper), but then you have less time to spent per island.
After pick up from our hotel, we could take some cookies and orange juice at the pier before leaving. You can also rent flippers (which is advisable - there are lots of see eagles where you're going to dive) for 400 BHT (which you get back when returning). Snorkling materiaal is on board available.
First we drove to 'THE beach', which is famous from the movie with leonardo di caprio. There where like 1000 persons over there at the same time and about 50 boats in that bay. So the view and the atmosphere were not what we've expected.
After that we went for a dive, but unfortunately the sea was wild and the view was not as beautiful as we've experienced before when visiting the Similan islands.
We've visited 3 islands and went twice snorkling, but in general I have to say we were a bit disappointed in this excursion due to the fact there was a crowd everywhere. We've enjoyed the day, but the image you have from the phi phi islands is not what we've seen that day.
So i would advice you to make this trip by a private boat (long tail boat) and ask your driver to drive you to those islands at these moments when the big boats leave. Cause i really have the intention all boats are making the same tour.
The islands are beautiful, but because of the masks of people on this beachesx it is not feasable to enjoy them to the max.
