Thai Island Hopper West

Start & end in Phuket 8 days Up to 30

About this trip

Eight days along Thailand's Andaman coast, moving between Phuket, Koh Phi Phi and Krabi in full island-hopping mode.

Days are built around water and coastline — cruising through limestone karsts, snorkelling reefs, swimming, and stretching out on beaches — with Thai food and warm evenings filling the gaps.

A good fit if you want a beach-and-boat holiday with company, rather than one that lingers long in any single place.

What you'll do

  • Cruise through Phang Nga Bay's limestone karsts
  • Snorkel coral reefs off the Andaman coast
  • Island-hop between Phuket, Koh Phi Phi and Krabi
  • Meet elephants
  • Beach days and saltwater swims
Good to know
  • Island-hopping format — you move between bases across the 8 days
  • Beach and boat focused, with less time on cultural sightseeing
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want a party-focused island trip with a standout guide. Think twice if you expect structured activities or pristine accommodation.

  • Tour guides Augus and Rhi genuinely elevate the experience—knowledgeable, fun, and actually befriend the group.
  • Most nights revolve around clubbing and drinking; minimal activities included beyond hotels and transfers.
  • Phi Phi accommodation was reported as dirty and uncomfortable; don't expect luxury standards.
  • Optional paid activities fill free days; budget accordingly if you want more than downtime.
