# Sunrise Fishing or Phi Phi with Bamboo and Fishing: Which Trip from Phuket? If fishing is the reason you're going, take sunrise fishing: a whole day at sea from Chalong pier, trolling and deep-water fishing, and lunch cooked from your catch. If the reason is Phi Phi and the sand of Bamboo island, take the Phi Phi day, where fishing is one stop at Rang Yai at the end. Both include hotel pickup. ## Tours and prices in Thai baht - [Sea fishing from sunrise](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/fishing-sunrise) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/fishing-sunrise.md) — One day, 05:30–15:00 · Adult 2,500 THB · Child 4–9 2,200 THB - [Phi Phi, Bamboo island and fishing at Rang Yai](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/phi-phi-bamboo-fishing) · [md](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/phi-phi-bamboo-fishing.md) — One day · Adult 2,300 THB · Child 4–9 2,000 THB Prices come straight from our booking system. Children under four join free on most trips — each tour page says so. ## What's in each price, pickup included? Yes, pickup is in both: hotel transfer there and back. On [sea fishing from sunrise](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/fishing-sunrise) you also get all the fishing tackle, breakfast on the boat, lunch from the fresh catch (grilled fish, tom yum, chicken, rice, and sashimi when the catch allows), snorkelling gear, cold drinks, tea, coffee, fruit, insurance, an English-speaking guide and the crew. You keep your catch. The boat takes up to 20 people and has a shaded rest area, so a partner who doesn't fish has somewhere to sit, and the Racha Yai stop gives them a beach and a snorkel. On [Phi Phi, Bamboo island and fishing at Rang Yai](https://phukeo.com/en/tours/phi-phi-bamboo-fishing) the list is the speedboat, lunch at a beach restaurant on Phi Phi Don, masks and snorkels, fishing tackle, water and fruit, insurance and an English-speaking guide. The national park fee is extra and paid in cash on the day. Children aged 4 to 9 pay the child price on both trips; the table above has the figures. ## How much fishing do you actually get? On the sunrise day, most of the day. Trolling for tuna, barracuda and mahi-mahi from 07:30 to 09:30. Then deep-water bottom fishing, the crab traps and the crew showing you spearfishing until 11:00. Racha Yai till 13:00, with snorkelling and a swim while lunch is cooked on board. And more fishing along the way home, until 15:00. On the Phi Phi day, one stop. At 15:05 the boat stops at Rang Yai island for a rest and hand-line fishing with the captain. The crew baits the line and shows you how, so nobody needs experience. Before that you've had Bamboo island, the Viking Cave from the water, Pileh Lagoon, Maya Bay on the boardwalk, lunch, snorkelling and Monkey Beach. Fishing is the last, calm hour. ## Which pier, and what time do you leave? Sunrise fishing: pickup between 05:30 and 06:30, Chalong pier at 06:45 to meet the crew, the boat leaves at 07:00 and is back at 15:00, and then you're driven home. Bring a warm layer; it's cold at sea before the sun is up. The Phi Phi day: pickup around 06:50 (Patong, Kata and Karon are collected earlier, the south later), tea and coffee at the pier at 07:30, the speedboat leaves at 08:30. Back at the pier at 16:30. The guide confirms your exact pickup the evening before on both trips. ## What if the weather turns? Two different rules. On the Phi Phi day, fishing depends on the wind: in strong wind the captain calls the Rang Yai fishing off. On the sunrise day, the weather can change the programme, and rain ponchos are on board if a shower comes through. If the authorities close the sea, neither boat goes out, and the trip moves to another date. A grey morning alone doesn't cancel anything. [What happens if a tour is cancelled for weather](https://phukeo.com/en/faq/tour-cancelled-bad-weather) has the details. ## So which one should you book? Sunrise fishing if someone in your group has been waiting all year to hold a rod, or if lunch from your own catch sounds like the best part. The boat leaves at seven, ahead of the later fishing boats, and there is no island-hopping to fit around. The card advises against it during pregnancy or with back problems. The Phi Phi day if the postcards matter more: Maya Bay, Pileh, the flour-soft sand of Bamboo. Fishing there is a bonus, and the whole family can try it without any experience. We weighed the fishing day on its own in [is the sunrise fishing trip worth it](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/fishing-sunrise-worth-it), and every fishing option, lake included, is on [fishing trips from Phuket](https://phukeo.com/en/excursions/fishing-trips). ## How to book either day Send the trip, the date, your hotel and everyone's ages in the chat, and say who wants to fish. We confirm the pickup time and the total. Payment is agreed in the chat after the booking is confirmed. ## Worth knowing Sunrise fishing is a fishing day with a swim at Racha Yai. The Phi Phi, Bamboo and fishing day is a Phi Phi day with a fishing stop at Rang Yai, called off in strong wind. ## FAQ ### Is hotel pickup included on the fishing trips? Yes, on both.
