You leave Phuket before dawn and the Andaman Sea stretches like liquid glass, the speedboat cutting a clean wake toward limestone towers that rise from the water like weathered pillars. Salt spray and the sun lift your senses; ahead are powder-white beaches and turquoise lagoons that demand a day of swimming and short walks rather than long hikes.

Wildlife
History
The islands’ dramatic karst towers are ancient reef and limestone uplift; Maya Bay’s international fame increased tourism and led to stronger national-park protections.
Conservation
Phi Phi sits inside a national park with visitor fees and periodic closures to let coral and bird colonies recover—use reef-safe products, avoid touching coral, and follow guides’ rules.
Reserve your spot on the Phi Phi with Maya and Bamboo Island Day Trip by Speedboat today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Coral reefs are fragile; choose reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life and avoid rubbing sunscreen off before snorkeling.
Protect valuables from spray
Use a small dry bag for phone, wallet and camera—boats get splashed and beaches lack lockers.
Prepare for seasickness
If you're prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid-boat where motion is least noticeable.
Respect monkeys and caves
Keep a safe distance from long-tailed macaques and never feed them; Viking Cave and bird‑nest areas are culturally sensitive—photograph from the boat.
