How much do tours in Phuket cost and what is included

There is no single price for tours in Phuket: it depends on the island, boat type, transfer and season. Below is a roundup of prices we took on 19 October 2026 from operator pages and the official sites of places, with a link to our page on each excursion. The main operator in the tables is Phuket Tour, our site’s partner, with Tisland added for comparison. One operator’s prices are a guide, not a market average.

Sea tours for a day and half a day

Phuket Tour prices on 19.10.2026, baht. Children aged 4-11 unless the row says otherwise. “Not stated” means the tour page gives no child price.

For comparison, Tisland’s page says a catamaran day to Phi Phi starts from 2,900 baht per person, 8 hours, a group of 40-55, lunch included, with a Russian or English speaking guide. At Phuket Tour the same format on a premium catamaran is 3,300 baht and a speedboat 2,300 baht: at Phuket Tour the gap between speedboat and premium catamaran is 1,000 baht.

What is paid separately: the national park fee

If the operator has not included the fee in the price, you pay it in cash. Foreigner rates by the DNP table (edition of 02.06.2023, open-data file checked on 19.10.2026):

Coral Island, the Khai Islands and Racha are not in the DNP table, so there is no fee there. DNP treats a child as aged 3-14 or up to 140 cm tall and children under 3 are free, details in the guide to Thailand with kids.

Evening shows, parks and activities

Official site prices on 19.10.2026, adult ticket unless stated.

Where there is no official price, only an operator’s estimate

For these places the site shows the price only in a booking form or does not state it. Below are the ranges that operator Phuket Tour gives in sections of its site on 19.10.2026. They are the seller’s words, not the organiser’s price list.

What affects the price

• The boat. A speedboat is cheaper than a catamaran: at Phuket Tour Phi Phi is 2,300 and 3,300 baht. A speedboat is rougher in waves and a catamaran carries more groups, see the guide to Phi Phi by catamaran
• Transfer. At Phuket Tour it is part of the programmes. At Love Andaman, on the Phang Nga Bay programme a hotel transfer within Phuket costs 300 baht per person extra
• Child’s age. The child rate starts at 4 and is 100-500 baht below the adult price
• Season. The Similans are closed from 16 May to 14 October according to DNP, the 2026/27 season opened on 15 October, and for Surin sources give different end dates, details on the Similan and Surin pages. Other islands run all year, details in the guide to islands around Phuket
• A private boat. We found no dated price list, and the operator quotes the price for your route

How to compare offers

Compare the list of what is included, not the total: national park fee, hotel transfer, lunch, mask and snorkel, insurance, guide language. A price without the park fee can be 300-500 baht lower. Ask in writing about refund and rebooking in bad weather. All directions with programme descriptions are in Phuket excursions, and a list of places without a tour is in what to see in Phuket.

What we did not find

• An official price list from the organisers of sea tours: operators publish prices and change them by date and promotion
• The Phuket Aquarium entry price: the official site did not open and reviews quote different figures
• Price lists for Tiger Kingdom and elephant shelters without a booking form
• Dated prices for private boats and diving on open pages
