You step onto the marina with salt on your lips and a speedboat engine ticking like a restless animal. By midmorning the Andaman opens up: limestone cliffs rise like sheer walls, turquoise water dares you to step in, and the boat cuts the swell toward Phi Phi’s sheltered coves. The tour threads through Phi Phi Don for snorkeling, drops anchor at uncrowded Bamboo Island for swimming and beach time, and circles the famously dramatic Maya Bay for sightseeing from the water.

Wildlife
History
Phi Phi’s islands were historically fishing communities; tourism grew rapidly after the 1980s and management measures like temporary closures at Maya Bay were introduced to let ecosystems recover.
Conservation
Visitors must follow park rules: no anchoring on coral, no littering, and use reef‑safe sunscreen to reduce reef stress; operators pay a national park fee that supports conservation.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Sunscreen is required to protect coral and your skin—choose reef‑safe lotion and reapply after swimming.
Secure a well‑fitting mask
Snorkel equipment is included, but a personal mask that seals well improves visibility and comfort.
Plan for seasickness
Take antiemetic medication before departure if you’re prone to seasickness; the crossing can be choppy.
Pack a dry bag
Protect electronics and cash in a small waterproof pouch for jumps into shallow snorkel spots and boat transfers.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects coral and reduces skin sunburn during long exposure on the boat and beaches.
Personal snorkel mask
Better fit and optics than rental gear for more comfortable, clearer snorkeling.
