“We really enjoyed the crew that ran this tour. They were informatove and funny. They also played some party music on the boat, which was a plus. The locations we visited were fun and we loved them all. However, we found the two "main attractions", Maya Bay Beach and Phi Phi Don, we didn't get to spend enough quality time at. I felt like I had to run to Maya Bay Beach to soak in every moment. We only had about 10-15 by the time we used the bathroom and fought the crowd to get down there. For Phi Phi Don, if you choose snorkeling, you also won't have much…”
