Spend a full day aboard a luxury catamaran from Phuket to Bamboo Island and the Phi Phi archipelago, combining snorkeling, beach time, and calm-lagoon swims. This guided outing balances relaxation with short active moments and practical support for first-time snorkelers.

The catamaran slips away from Phuket as the Andaman sun lifts the horizon — teak deck warm beneath your feet, salt and diesel on the air, and islands rising like stone sentries ahead. You’ll cross open blue to reach Bamboo Island’s crescent sand and then arc south to the Phi Phi cluster where limestone cliffs cut the sky and lagoons hide under green rims.

History
Phi Phi’s karst islands are limestone formations uplifted from ancient seas; Phi Phi Don supports a small local fishing community while Maya Bay gained global attention after a film in the 2000s.
Conservation
The area operates under tighter visitor controls since 2018 to recover reefs and shorelines — avoid touching coral, use reef-safe products, and follow crew guidance to reduce impact.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Oils and chemicals damage coral; choose reef-safe SPF and apply before boarding to limit runoff.
Protect your camera
Use a small dry bag or waterproof case for phones and cameras — waves and wet decks are constant hazards.
Plan for pickup timing
Hotel pickup often occurs 30–90 minutes before the pier departure; be ready in your lobby 15 minutes early.
Watch tidal and weather updates
Operators may alter the itinerary if seas are rough — check local seasickness remedies and be flexible.
