    Contiki's hotels are typically standard mid-range properties. While many offer fridges in rooms, there's no guarantee of having a dedicated freezer compartment for ice packs. If refrigeration is essential, let us know in advance, and we'll request room fridges or assist with alternative storage solutions. Transfer times: Phuket to Koh Phi Phi ~1 to 2 hours by ferry or speedboat, Koh Phi Phi to Krabi ~45 minutes to 1 hour by ferry or speedboat, Krabi to Phuket ~2 to 3 hours overland by bus/minivan/ferry combo.

    Since you'll be arriving in Phuket on the morning of October 11, 2025, which is the first day of the tour, you're perfectly timed, the tour officially kicks off at 6:00 PM, so it's absolutely feasible for you to join. If you plan to leave one day early on October 17, just let us know once you have a booking so we can make a note of it. You'll also be able to coordinate the early departure directly with your Trip Manager during the tour to ensure everything runs smoothly. Please note that the tour pricing will be the same, even if you depart early, as it's a guided tour with a set itinerary.
