History

Phi Phi’s karsts have supported sea-faring communities for centuries; the islands are now within the Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park created to protect marine and coastal habitats.

Conservation

Operators follow national park rules and boat regulations—use reef-safe products, avoid anchoring on coral, and follow guide instructions to reduce impact.

Adventure tips

Beat the crowdsOpt for the earliest pickup possible—Maya Bay and Pileh Cove are noticeably quieter first thing, with calmer water for swimming.

Pack for seasicknessThe open 50-minute crossings can be choppy; take motion-sickness meds before boarding if you’re prone to nausea.

Respect the reefUse reef-safe sunscreen and avoid touching corals while snorkeling to protect the national park ecosystems.

Bring small cashVendors on Phi Phi Don and tips for guides are cash-based—bring small Thai baht notes for convenience.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protect skin and the coral reefs—apply before boarding and after swimming.
Water shoes: Protect feet on rocky beaches and slippery boat ladders.
Lightweight dry bag: Keeps phone, wallet, and a spare shirt dry during boat transfers.
Sea-sickness tablets or bands: Useful for the open crossings if you are sensitive to motion.
