More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the Royal Jet Cruiser with salt in your hair and a wide, white shoreline ahead: Long Beach on Ko Phi Phi Don. The boat rocks gently as guides call out the itinerary — a morning swim beyond the reef, a buffet lunch by the sea, an afternoon wandering Tonsai Village, and a return ferry through Pi-Le Cove and past the cave-scored cliffs of Phi Phi Ley.

History
Ko Phi Phi Don has long been a fishing and sea-gipsy area that grew into a major tourist destination; Maya Bay was closed for years to allow reef recovery and now opens under stricter rules.
Conservation
The islands are part of Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park; park fees fund restoration and visitors should avoid touching coral, feeding wildlife, or leaving plastic behind.
