More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A speedboat slips away from Phuket at first light, the Andaman’s surface catching the sun like quicksilver. Within an hour the limestone walls of Phi Phi rise up — sheer cliffs that force the sea into emerald pools and narrow channels. The day moves like a series of postcard moments: a quick stop at Monkey Beach for close-up wildlife viewing, a long swim in the sheltered turquoise of Pi Leh Bay, lunch on Phi Phi Don, and an afternoon unwind on Khai Island’s shallow sands.

Wildlife
History
The Phi Phi islands are karst limestone formations with a small fishing community history; Maya Bay rose to international attention after the 2000 film The Beach and later underwent closures for ecological recovery.
Conservation
Maya Bay and nearby reefs have experienced recovery-driven access restrictions; visitors should avoid touching coral, use reef-safe sunscreen and follow guide instructions to limit impact.
Reserve your spot on the Phi Phi Maya Bay and Khai Island Snorkeling Tour from Phuket today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Sun protection is crucial
Use reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and UV shirt — shade is limited on speedboats and Khai Island.
Secure small valuables
Bring a dry bag for phones and passports; boat decks get wet and waves can spray unexpectedly.
Watch the monkeys
At Monkey Beach keep a safe distance and stow food; macaques are bold and can bite or grab belongings.
Manage seasickness
If you're prone to motion sickness, take preventative medication before departure and sit mid-boat where motion is least.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin while minimizing damage to coral ecosystems.
Mask & snorkel (personal)
Personal gear often fits better than rental equipment and improves visibility.
Water shoes
Useful for scrambling on rocky shoreline and entering shallow reefs safely.
Small dry bag
Keeps electronics and wallet dry during transfers and snorkeling sessions.
