The Experience

Before You Go

Morning Departure

Book the earliest slot to avoid afternoon swell and larger crowds at popular stops.

Bring Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Chemical sunscreens harm coral; use reef-safe formulas and reapply after swimming.

Secure Motion Sickness Remedies

If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding.

Pack a Waterproof Bag

Keep phones, cameras, and wallets dry during splash-prone transfers and snorkeling.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Piley (Pileh) Lagoon — a calm emerald bowl ideal for floating and photos
  • Bamboo Island — a quieter sand cay with clear shallow snorkeling waters

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaques (on Monkey Beach)
  • Green sea turtles and colorful reef fish

Conservation Note

Maya Bay closures and marine protection zones aim to let reefs recover; visitors should use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid touching coral, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.

Phi Phi transitioned from small fishing villages to an international tourist destination in the late 20th century and was heavily affected by the 2004 tsunami, shaping current infrastructure and conservation efforts.
