We embark on our journey filled with stunning natural beauty and adventure - talking about the Phi Phi island tour! Our journey starts early in the morning with less crowd on the beach and a relaxed atmosphere to explore our destination. From crystal clear water to towering limestone cliff is going to make your head spin.
Most of this island group is protected under Thailand government conservation efforts to save the island in its natural state. That’s why we suggest booking for National Park in advance along with the Phi Phi Island day tour ticket. That being said, there are plenty of water sports activities for all ages such as snorkelling, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and whatnot.
Tip: While you are in the water, don't forget to stop for the gorgeous beauty of coral reefs surrounding you.
Transportation Options To Get To The Islands
There is more than one way to get to the island. But we suggest the one filled with most adventure and that is the Phi Phi Islands speedboat day tour from Phuket. Another way is via a long tail boat which took us a bit longer to arrive at our destination.

3 Wonderful Viewpoints
Note that some of these may not be included in the ticket, so carry some cash along with yourself. And, don't forget to pack sunblock.
Snorkelling And Diving Opportunities In Crystal Clear Waters
One of the major reasons why so many people opt for snorkelling on the Phi Phi island day tour from Phuket, is due to its unbelievable floral and fauna biodiversity underwater. You can watch tropical fishes passing by and colorful coral reefs swinging with the water current. Shark Point and Anemone Reef are popular dive sites worth checking out.
Visiting Maya Bay, Made Famous By The Beach Movie
Historically, Phi Phi Island rose to fame due to the movie shot in the 2000s - “The Beach” starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The movie gave this island fame and tourism. We suggest not buying any souvenirs from the island as they are expensive. However, we also want you to know that our Phi Phi island tour cost from Phuket started at 1500 Thai Baht only. So, if opportunity knocks, pack your bags and get going.
Exploring Viking Cave And Monkey Beach
Viking caves are carved out of waves washing off the shores for centuries. We suggest taking a canoe or kayak to visit these mesmerizing caves with some ancient paintings carved by sea gypsies.
Most Phi Phi island tours take you to the Monkey beach. It is on the other side of Phi Phi Don island with fewer monkeys. However, we suggest being cautious as these animals can get aggressive if teased.
Enjoying A Traditional Thai Lunch On The Island
We had absolutely a wonderful day on this tour. Our Phi Phi-Khai Island tour ticket included Thai lunch at a beachside restaurant. We were also given offers to choose between seafood and completely vegetarian food - in case, you want to know!
Shopping For Souvenirs At Local Markets
There are many women on the islands trying to sell you some handcrafted necklaces made with seashells and other jewellery items, but we would suggest not to buy anything as they are pretty expensive. However, if you end up falling for a souvenir, don’t forget to bargain.
Relaxing On The White Sandy Beaches Of Phi Phi Island
If you are not into sports, you can relax on the beach, enjoy a refreshing cocktail, and soak in the sun. The Phi Phi Island tour has some of the gorgeous coastline to lay your head and unwind a bit. We suggest that while soaking up the sun on Phi Phi Island, prioritise your safety by practising water safety measures and respecting marine life.
Sunset Cruise Back To Phuket With Stunning Views
After our Phi Phi island tour ended, we headed back to the pier while watching the beautiful sunset from our speedboat. To be honest, it was one of the most beautiful sunsets of our life. Some of us even took pictures in iconic Titanic poses. 🙂
Make Memories That Last A Lifetime
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour, and we keep you updated with the next one. The Phi Phi island tour is a must-see. Stay vigilant while swimming, avoid drinking untreated water, and apply sunscreen diligently to prevent sunburn.
Have A Happy Touring!
