A slab of turquoise breaks against the bow as the speedboat slices away from Phuket; spray catches the sun and the islands of Phi Phi materialize like living rock. You step onto warm sand at a small, busy pier, the sea daring you to trade shore for snorkel. The day moves quickly: a morning pickup in an air-conditioned minibus, a short briefing at the pier, then the boat arcs toward Monkey Beach and the clear shallows where mask and fins reveal wriggling coral gardens.

Wildlife
History
Phi Phi’s islands are karst limestone formations with fishing communities that recovered from the 2004 tsunami; Maya Bay’s recent management reflects efforts to restore damaged reef and beach areas.
Conservation
Operators and authorities periodically restrict access to sensitive bays to allow reef recovery; using reef‑safe sunscreen, avoiding touching coral, and not feeding wildlife help reduce visitor impact.
