Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this package different from an island-only holiday?

Alongside Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay, you have a dedicated Phuket sightseeing day. This adds Wat Chalong, Old Town architecture, a coastal viewpoint and shopping time to your two sea excursions.

Which parts of the package are private?

Your airport transfers and the van used for Day 4 sightseeing are private. The Phi Phi and James Bond Island excursions are shared with other guests. The package does not promise a private sightseeing guide unless this is specified in your confirmed booking.

Do we stay at the same hotel throughout?

Yes. All four nights are at one Phuket hotel, allowing you to unpack once and return to the same base after each excursion.

Are all island stops and activities guaranteed?

The planned visits depend on the operator’s route, national park access, weather, sea conditions and tides. These factors may affect Maya Bay visits, swimming, snorkeling and access to caves and lagoons.
