Your holiday in Thailand is not complete if you have not booked a fun-packed Phi Phi island tourto take your excitement to the next level. These islands are stunningly mesmerizing and are one of the best attractions in Southern Thailand. Located at a distance of 43Km west of Krabi coast, this small archipelago consists of six islands, Koh Phi Phi Don, Koh Phi Phi Leh, Koh Bida Nok, Koh Bida Nai, Koh Phai (Bamboo Island), and Koh Young. The only inhabited and largest island of the group is Koh Phi Phi Don.

One of the most exciting activities you can enjoy on your Phi Phi island tour is snorkelling. There are many snorkelling spots here. Snorkelling on Phi Phi is like being on a fantasy planet. The tour operators will supply you the equipment, for example, fins and masks, if you book a tour package with them.

A popular snorkelling location is the Maya Bay which is sheltered by 100 meter high cliffs on three sides. There are several beaches inside the Bay. Most of them are small and some only exist at low tide. Maya Bay has become the main tourist attraction and the best time to visit here is between November and April. During high seasons, the sea is calm and access to the bay is easy. So when booking a Phi Phi tour, make sure you are here.

Another spectacular snorkeling destination in Phi Phi Archipelago is the Bamboo Island. This island is also known as Koh Pai in Thai. Lying just at a distance of 5km off the northern tip of Koh Phi Phi Don, this island is a stunning tropical destination that gives a perfect gateway from the maddening crowd. Measuring approximately 600m broad by 700m long, the island is shaped like a heart and is entirely surrounded by a strip of white sand. The central part of the island is draped with lush green vegetation including Casuarinas trees and the Bamboo trees. Bamboo Island is a perfect spot for a day trip and it offers great snorkelling opportunities. Between Phi Phi Don and Bamboo islands is the remarkable coral reef known as Hin Klang. It provides its masked and finned visitors with the sensation of whirling in an aquarium.

Indulging in snorkelling activities will take your enjoyment to the next level. You must also book your ticket for Simon Cabaret in Phuket as this show will also take your excitement and entertainment to the next level.
