Top 10 things to do on Phi Phi Island

Overview,

This list gives you an idea of the best of Phi Phi island for those who like and need to get out there and just go active...!!! You would need about 5-8 days to get though all these, a lot of energy and a fun loving heart.

Diving on Hin Muang. Hin Muang is A rock formation in the middle Of the Andaman sea that rises sharply from the seabed to a pinnacle that breaks the surface at low tides. On one side is is 30 meters deep and on the other it is a massive 60 meters. When the visibility is very good it can be dangerous to the caught diving too deep. The sheer variety of marine life on the exposed cliff faces of the pinnacle astound your visual senses. Large pelagic species, like shark and ray glide by, some as large as five meters, and blend majestically with the large schools of Trevally. Hin Muang is A 45 minute fast speedboat ride from Phi Phi Island and diving there is geared for the experience.

One of my favorite memories of Phi Phi Island was paddling under the cliffs of Phi Phi Don on a sunset kayak trip. Just paddling away, in tune with nature is a picture I returned to when I want to give myself a lift. The sun going down between the cliffs and Wang Long is magical.

In 1997 there was a large car ferry that took people from Phuket island to Phi Phi island which sank just off Shark Point just to the north east of the Phi Phi Don. 30 meters long and 14 meters tall this has worked very well for divers. Diving the wreck is one of the premier drivers on the island.

Camping on Maya bay. This is where Leonardo DiCaprio made his famous film “The Beach” and is a wondrous setting for one of the best beach parties on the island. This is an organized trip that leaves every day at 4.00 PM starting from PP Don. At Phi Phi Ley you are able to do some snorkeling or longer coral reef and kayak close under the cliffs of Pi Ley.

Fly in by Destination Air. This is the coolest way to life on PP Island. When you arrive at Phuket airport you can hop on a seaplane that will take you directly the idyllic island of Phi Phi Island. Up as you fly east into the Phang Nga Bay a huge number of islands covered in jungle appear. The plane then heads south over Koh Yao and then onto Mosquito Island up its primitive rock formations. It is pure joy to fly with the freedom of the air in such magnificent scenery.

Walk to View Point. The Viewpoint walk starts at the back of the main village and takes about 40 minutes on a made up path under the shade of the coconut grove to the classic viewpoint look out where you can see both of the famous Bays of Phi Ph Don.

Snorkeling with the sharks. Get up early and swim out off long beach and see up to 2 meter long Black Tip Reef Sharks. Timid on the whole , these creatures are magnificent.

Visit Monkey Beach. Yung Gassem or Monkey Beach is the untouched bay next to Loh Dalum on Phi Phi Don. It is just a short kayak trip 10 minutes, from Loh Dalum and is the perfect place to waste an afternoon in paradise.

Snorkel Hin Klang. This remote offshore reef is in a class of it's own. This is a serious adventure that requires good swimming skills as the tides can be very strong.

Visit Bamboo Island. The National park boasts a wonderful circular reef the finest golden sand on the islands. In the north of Phi Phi, this island is peaceful and remote.
