More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the wooden pier on Koh Phi Phi Don and the island exhales salt and diesel; a longtail boat waits, low in the turquoise bowl of the bay. In 20–25 minutes the shoreline drops away, cliffs of weathered limestone sliding into clear water where coral gardens and boulder fields begin. The sea here has a personality — playful currents that push you past bommies and quiet gutters that invite a slow swim-by of a green turtle.
