They gather at the roadside McDonald’s by Ton Sai Pier as the midday heat softens—bags sealed against spray, rash guards on, cameras ready.

8–9 hours
Fitness Level

Wildlife
History
Phi Phi’s limestone karst formed over millions of years and the islands gained global attention after a 2000 film; Maya Bay now closes periodically for ecological recovery.
Conservation
National park fees fund protection and seasonal closures (e.g., Maya Bay) limit visitor impact; use reef-safe products and avoid touching coral or wildlife.
