Want to do in Ko phi phi?
The Phi Phi islands are some of the most beautiful in Southeast Asia, whether it be for adventurous diving or a large amount of other activities. Just an hour by ferry boat from neighbouring Phuket Island or Krabi, these stunning islands offer the ultimate tropical experience. Movie-set beaches, dramatic cliffs and rock formations, and turquoise coral waters abundant with a diversified colourful marine life - Phi Phi is quite simply the perfect paradise for you.
There are 6 islands, Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Lei islands being the largest. Phi Phi Leh island is uninhabited and a protected as one of Thailand's National Marine Parks. The larger and inhabited, Phi Phi Don island attracts hundreds of visitors to stay on its lovely shores throughout the year. Bida Nai and Bida Noc Islands are a popular diving destination where Turtles and Leopard Sharks are spotted daily. Mosquito Island and Bamboo Island offer some stunning shallow reefs. This is where we conduct our sunset to sunrise dive adventure camping trips - PERFECT for that lost tropical island experience. Explore the caves and rummage around in the dense vegetation between cliffs and beaches.
People quite often rush through Koh Phi Phi Island only visiting the famous areas such as Longbeach and Maya Bay (as featured in Leonardo Di-Caprio movie, "The Beach"). However, depending on tastes there are a multi-tude of beaches and locations within the island group to match or even surpass the Maya Bay experience. Check out Losama Bay, for a similar but smaller enclosed beach experience that has far greater snorkelling than Maya Bay itself.
