点评:I booked a sunset speedboat tour through Visa Travel. The meeting point was McDonald’s in Phi Phi, which was extremely busy and felt a bit disorganised. After gathering, we walked about 10 minutes to the boat. Before boarding, everyone had to remove their shoes and have their feet washed to avoid bringing sand and dirt onboard. The speedboat itself was completely full, and there wasn’t much space to relax compared to other boat trips I’ve done.
The staff, however, were excellent. They spoke very good English, were friendly, and seemed well organised. They get a full 5 out of 5 from me.
My lower overall score is mainly because I wasn’t entirely sure what I was booking. The itinerary information was vague, and we ended up snorkelling twice, which felt too long for my preference. The snorkelling equipment also wasn’t great — the masks didn’t seal properly, and I’ve had much better equipment on other tours.
I also didn’t feel confident about the safety arrangements on the boat. There was no safety briefing, no information about life jackets, and no check on whether guests could swim before entering the water.
I had been looking forward to visiting Maya Bay, and although I’m glad I’ve seen it, I wouldn’t recommend it. It was extremely crowded and not an enjoyable place to spend time. We stayed too long, the toilets were in terrible condition, and waiting on the blue floating platform for 15 minutes while it lurched around in the water was unpleasant.
Monkey Bay was okay, though there was some rubbish around. Viking Cave wasn’t particularly impressive, and you don’t get off the boat there.
I did not do the bioluminescence swim because I was too cold and tired. I did wonder if staff were trained in life saving in the water.
I would not recommend this tour, I think I would have preferred to book a private longtail boat to Maya Bay and monkey bay for a shorter trip.
翻译:我通过Visa Travel预订了日落快艇之旅。集合地点是皮皮岛的麦当劳,那里人山人海,感觉有点混乱。集合后,我们步行了大约10分钟到达快艇。登船前,每个人都必须脱鞋并洗脚,以免把沙子和泥土带上船。快艇上挤满了人,与其他我参加过的乘船游览相比,几乎没有什么可以放松的空间。
不过,船员们非常棒。他们的英语说得很好,热情友好,而且组织有序。我给他们打满分5分。
我给出的总体评分较低,主要是因为我对预订的内容不太清楚。行程信息很模糊,我们最终浮潜了两次,我觉得时间太长了。浮潜设备也不怎么样——面罩密封性不好,我在其他旅行团用过的设备要好得多。
此外,我对船上的安全措施也不太放心。没有安全讲解,没有关于救生衣的信息,也没有在游客下水前检查他们是否会游泳。
我一直很期待去玛雅湾,虽然很高兴去了那里,但我并不推荐。那里人山人海,并不是一个令人愉快的地方。我们待的时间太长了,厕所状况糟糕,在蓝色的浮动平台上等了15分钟,看着它在水里摇晃,感觉很不舒服。
猴子湾还可以,虽然周围有一些垃圾。维京洞穴没什么特别之处,而且不能在那里下船。
我没有参加生物发光游泳,因为我太冷也太累了。我当时就在想,工作人员是否接受过水上救生培训。
我不推荐这个行程,我觉得我宁愿预订一艘私人长尾船去玛雅湾和猴子湾,这样行程会短一些。
