The morning light off Rassada Pier cuts silver across the Andaman as the Sea Angel pushes away—salt on your lips, a distant limestone silhouette growing sharper by the minute. Within an hour the boat threads between hulking karst towers and the water opens into teal bowls: Pileh Lagoon, a natural pool guarded by cliffs; Maya Bay’s famous sweep of sand; and the compact coral gardens around Khai Nai.

History
Ko Phi Phi’s islands are limestone karst lifted from ancient reefs; Phi Phi Don evolved from fishing village to tourism hub after the late 20th-century tourism boom, accelerated by the 2000 film.
Conservation
These islands lie in a national park—visitor limits, mooring rules and reef protection are enforced seasonally; use reef-safe products and avoid stepping on coral.

Book early-morning departures
Morning runs usually have calmer seas and clearer water for snorkeling; late departures can be windier and busier.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Sunscreen with oxybenzone harms corals—choose reef-safe formulas and reapply sparingly before entering the water.
Secure valuables
Use a waterproof dry bag for phones, passports and wallets; boats and beaches are exposed to splash and sand.
Watch for currents
Some snorkel stops sit near channels—follow crew briefings and wear a life jacket if you’re not a confident swimmer.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin while avoiding damage to coral ecosystems.
Swimwear and quick-dry layer
For snorkeling, swimming and a comfortable change after the water.
Waterproof dry bag
