Phi Phi Island is still a relatively unspoiled small island where the pace of life is easy and each day melts into the next..... It's the sort of place where you can enjoy doing absolutely nothing for the entire day!
Phi Phi Island is a place for enjoying life outdoors. For kids, it's a place to paddle a canoe, be a pirate, or learn a new skill like diving. Above all it's a place to simply relax and enjoy.....
Diving |
 |
For water-sports lovers, at Phi Phi Island you will find moder diving equipment as well as boats to heir for taking photographs and enjoying the beauty of the scenery of various islands and bays like Maya bay, Phi Phi Ley Bay, Tonsai Bay and Bamboo Island. Around diving area, you will see one of the beautiful coral reefs in the world and you will be impressed by an unforgettable experience.
Kayaking |
 |
You can rent kayaks along most of Phi Phi Don's main beach, but a better bet may be to sign up for a daylong kayaking tour to Phi Phi Le. You'll get a local's insight, plenty of snorkeling time, and the chance to paddle with - or swim beside - benign black-tip reef sharks.
Kayaking tours can be high energy and action packed with surging waves, caves, and blowholes, or more gentle relaxed paddling, depending on the season and the tour. Paddle during the day, visiting islands, snorkelling and swimming or take a sunset paddle and return by torchlight under the stars!
Snorkelling |
 |
Wonderful coral gardens, unusual cave fish, exotic tropical fish, and sharks - probably the best snorkelling anywhere. Depths vary from 2-7 metres (6-20 feet) and visibility is crystal clear. You can hire equipment from local dive shops, but it's worth taking a tour to the reefs which fringe the islands. Tours also go to offshore reefs (about 1.5 km) which contain more unusual marine life.
Masks and snorkels are normally included in the price, although these may be of varied shapes and sizes! Some operators have quality equipment while others have a standard mask and fins in limited sizes, so shop around, otherwise your underwater views may be limited.
Game Fishing |
 |
The Andaman Sea is home to all the classic prize fighters of the fish world. Black Marlin, Giant Travelly, Sailfish, and Shark. Yellowfin, Dogtooth and Skipjack, Tuna are common, while Wahoo are plentiful during the monsoon season. (June - October.)
Boat charter is available, or join a trip with other individuals (depends on demand) or hire a local longtail boat. Don't expect to take your fish home Phuket operates a "catch and release" policy to maintain the stock of these remarkable fish.
Rock Climbing |
 |
Surprisingly, not really developed on the island - despite the great potential. Although some routes are bolted, you'll need to consult other climbers first and bring your own equipment!
Krabi is more organised with climbing shops and gear for rent, although more crowded on the rock face.
If you want to see local climbers in action, visit the Viking Cave. For 100 Baht, with no ropes or special equipment, just bamboo scaffolding (and a prayer to the local cave gods) the locals collect the Swifts' nests which form the basic ingredients for the gourmet Chinese Bird's Nest soup. |
