Welcome to Koh Phi Phi, where the classics meet the extraordinary! While longtail boat tours around Phi Phi Leh, Phi Phi Don, Mosquito Island, and Bamboo Island, partying in Tonsai, and visiting the viewpoints are the go-to experiences, we invite you to dive deeper into the hidden treasures of this tropical haven. Here’s your guide to exploring off the beaten path for an unforgettable island escape.
1. Snorkeling (or diving) with BIG fish at Shark Point:
Venture beyond the usual and explore the underwater wonders at Shark Point. Even though some longtail tours will bring you here, you can always walk to Long beach where Shark Point is located by following the path along the coast (30 min approximately) or through the mountain (45 min+). Snorkeling enthusiasts and scuba diving aficionados alike will be captivated by the crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life with the big protagonist: the friendly Blacktip Reef Sharks. For an unforgettable scuba diving experience, don’t forget to contact Blacktip Scuba located in front of Shark point, ensuring a personalized journey into the mesmerizing depths of the marine park and the house reef.
2. Discover Hidden Beaches on Foot
Escape the crowds and discover the untouched beauty of hidden beaches on foot. Wander through the pristine shores of Loh Moh Dee (on the opposite side of Long Beach) which practically empty all year round, or Nui Bay, Lana Bay, and even Loh Bagao, a destination that only seems reachable by boat.
