History

Phi Phi’s islands are karst limestone formed over millions of years; Maya Bay’s international fame surged after the 2000 film The Beach, reshaping visitor patterns.

Conservation

Sites fall inside Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park; follow park rules, avoid touching coral and use reef-safe sunscreen to reduce ecological impact.

Adventure tips

Arrive at the right meeting pointConfirm your pier or hotel meeting point the night before — pick-ups differ for Ao Nang, Railay and Centara guests.

Use reef-safe sunscreenApply a mineral, reef-safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply after swims to protect coral and avoid skin irritation.

Bring a snug mask or rent oneBoat-provided snorkels work, but a well-fitting personal mask reduces leaks and fog while you explore reefs.

Watch local wildlife interactionsKeep distance from monkeys on shores and don’t feed them — they can grab food or belongings suddenly.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects your skin and the coral; apply before boarding and after swimming.
Snorkel mask (personal): A good-fit mask reduces leaks and makes snorkeling comfortable for longer sessions.
Waterproof dry bag (10L): Keeps phone, cash, and a spare shirt dry during transfers and beach stops.
Water shoes: Useful for rocky landings and walking across coral-swept shorelines.
