Activities in Ko Phi Phi Don

Adventure Club
Our favourite diving operation on the island runs an excellent assortment of educational, ecofocused diving, hiking and snorkelling tours. You won't mind getting up at 6am for the much-loved shark-watching snorkel trips on which you're guaranteed to cavort with at least one reef shark.

Phi Phi Scuba
One of the largest operators on the island, churning out dive certifications by the boatload. There’s a sociable and professional atmosphere, although nervous newbies might feel as though they aren’t getting enough handholding.

Island Divers
Island Divers is one of the two biggest operators. It churns out dive certifications by the boatload, and some folks complain about the less-than-personalised service. On the plus side, it pushes eco-friendly scuba - the company encourages wreck dives and doesn't allow clients to touch the coral. It has access to a hyperbaric chamber.
You can also dive out at Hin Daeng and Hin Muang, 60km off Ko Phi-Phi.

Phi Phi Viewpoint
The strenuous climb to the Phi Phi Viewpoint is a rewarding short hike. Follow the signs from the road heading east towards Ao Lo Dalam from the tourist village. The viewpoint is reached via a 300m vertical climb that includes hundreds of steep steps and narrow twisting paths. The views from the top are amazing - the marine park vistas stretch on forever in colours of aqua, emerald and jade.
