The Phi Phi Island day tour booked through Klook offers an unforgettable experience of Thailand’s stunning islands. The tour typically includes visits to iconic spots such as Maya Bay, Bamboo Island, and Monkey Beach, with plenty of opportunities for snorkeling in crystal-clear waters teeming with vibrant marine life. The speedboat rides between islands are smooth and fast, allowing ample time to soak up the natural beauty and relax on white sandy beaches. Tour guides are knowledgeable, friendly, and provide clear instructions along with interesting information about the islands. Meals and refreshments served during the trip are decent, with options for buffet lunch on board the boat. The tour is well organized with hotel transfers from popular Phuket locations, making it hassle-free to join. A key highlight is visiting Maya Bay, a famous beach surrounded by towering limestone cliffs made famous by the movie "The Beach."

It was the rainy season, but fortunately, it was sunny throughout our activities, allowing us to fully enjoy the emerald green sea and blue sky. We even got to see monkeys at Monkey Beach, making it a very satisfying tour. I was a bit concerned about the cleanliness of the snorkeling mouthpiece, but I was able to purchase a new one for 50 baht. The shuttle bus ride can be quite bumpy, so I recommend taking a motion sickness pill that lasts all day before boarding. You can also get free motion sickness pills at the pier. The shuttle bus back to the hotel takes a while because there's no time to change at the pier, and it drops everyone off at their respective hotels in order. Since we were staying in Karon, it took about 2 hours. (It only took about 20 minutes to get to All Town.) During that time, we were stuck wearing wet clothes in the air conditioning, which made me very cold towards the end, and I ended up catching a cold with a fever. Perhaps we should have changed at Kai Nok Island. That's something to watch out for. Still, it was a very satisfying tour.

Things To Do Around Phi Phi Islands

Explore Loh Dalum Bay and Tonsai Bay

Located on Phi Phi Don, Tonsai Beach and Loh Dalum Beach are on opposite sites of the island. Known for its stunning scenery, Loh Dalum Bay has shallow clear blue waters that make it ideal for swimming, wading and kayaking. On the other hand, Tonsai Beach has a bustling atmosphere with numerous shops, restaurants, dive schools and vibrant nightlife featuring beach clubs and fireshows that are worth exploring.

See Wildlife at Monkey Beach

Home to long-tailed macaques, Monkey beach is named after the wild monkeys that are often seen frolicking on the sand. While they're usually harmless, it is advised to avoid feeding them and keep a respectful distance to avoid provoking them. If you're exploring Koh Phi Phi by boat, you might even be able to combine your visit with Bamboo Island.

Visit Maya Bay

Temporarily closed to tourists in 2018 by Thai government to allow the natural environment to recover from over-tourism, Maya Bay reopened in 2022. Part of the Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, it is located on Koh Phi Phi Leh and is accessible by speedboats or longtail boats.

The island's infrastructure is designed to be minimal, as there are no hotels or permanent buildings. With crystal clear waters, palm trees and vibrant marine life, Maya Bay is a great spot to explore the natural beauty of the Andaman sea.

Snorkel with Coral Reefs

Phi Phi Islands has some of the best snorkeling spots, thanks to clear waters providing excellent visibility. At Monkey beach, Pileh Lagoon and Loh Dalum Bay, you will see plenty of healthy corals and colorful fish like clownfish and angelfish as well as sea anemones, starfish, sea cucumbers, and even octopuses in the shallow waters.

Located off the shore of Shark Point and accessible by boat trips, there is a shipwreck of an old Thai navy ship that was deliberately sunk in 1997 to create an artificial reef. Named the Kled Gaeow Wreck, it sits at around 30 to 40 meters deep and is recommended for advanced divers only.

Sample local Thai cuisine

Koh Phi Phi offers a variety of authentic Thai dishes that are popular with visitors such as freshly caught fish, prawns, squid and other shellfish. There are plenty of beachside restaurants where you can sit back and enjoy grilled fish, Tom Yum Goong (spicy shrimp soup) and Pad Ped Pla (stir-fried fish). You can also try Thai street food such as Satay skewers, curry dishes and refreshing Thai desserts.
