Passing through the old capital of Phuket, 'Kahtu', and skirting Phuket Town you come to Rasada Pier, the main departure point for cruisers to Phi Phi. The Cruisers take you out past Maiton Island in to the southern reaches of Phang Nga Bay and then you are just surrounded with views of over 100 islands to the north, south and east. It really is a brilliant sight. Soon after leaving Phuket island you get a glimpse of Phi Phi Island cliffs, half submerged on the horizon. As you continue east, these cliffs rise up out of the water until the ferry reaches their shadowy sides. All tours take you to see Maya Bay, the location where the movie 'The Beach' was shot starring Leonardo Di Caprio. Going past the south of the island you come to Loh Samah, Pi Ley, and Viking Cave before heading to the main pier at Phi Phi Don. All tours combine the obvious sightseeing high spots and get you snorkeling at the, almost 20km of snorkeling reefs that surround Phi Phi. Many tours head to the main Phi Phi Don Village under the cliffs to take in the extraordinary atmosphere of delightful beaches and a thriving tourist market village.
