Salt on your lips, the engine’s thrum beneath your feet — the speedboat cuts away from Phuket Boat Lagoon and the mainland recedes into a low blue line. In under an hour the ocean opens into the Phi Phi archipelago: vertical limestone cliffs rise like walls around Pi Leh Bay, black-tip reef sharks circle the shallows at Maya Bay, and the water turns the precise turquoise that makes you check your camera twice.

Wildlife
History
Phi Phi’s human footprint expanded in the 20th century from seasonal fishing and bird-nest harvesting; tourism boomed after easier boat access and recovered gradually following the 2004 tsunami.
Conservation
Marine parks regulate access and periodically close sensitive areas like Maya Bay to allow reef recovery; visitors are encouraged to use reef-safe products and avoid touching coral.

Bring a dry bag
Phones and cameras get wet on speedboat hop-offs; a 5–10L dry bag keeps essentials safe when landing through knee-deep water.
Wear quick-dry shoes or flip-flops
Boats let you step directly into shallow water to get ashore — sandals protect feet from shells and rocks during transitions.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Coral systems are fragile; choose reef-safe sunscreen and reapply sparingly before entering the water to protect marine life.
Check Maya Bay closures
Maya Bay is seasonally closed for recovery in August–September; confirm the day's route with your operator to avoid disappointment.
Dry bag (5–10L)
Keeps electronics, documents and a change of clothes dry during boat landings.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin while minimizing harm to coral and marine life.
