Phi Phi Islands Activities
What to Do in Phi Phi Islands
|
|
Phi Phi Island is, when you think about it, and extremely open-air sort of place. Just about the only form of activity that takes place behind closed doors is when your head hits the pillow.
So it’s no wonder that the area abounds in exciting things to do, both on and off the island, above and below sea level.
Here are some of the best activities available.

Other Activities in Phi Phi Islands
Booze Cruise
Five hours of ‘free’ unlimited boozing aboard a ship on a tropical afternoon is some people’s idea of heaven. This tour features visits to Monkey Beach, goes cliff jumping, Viking Cave, Loh Samah, Maya Bay and, presuming participants are still conscious, takes in the sunset. Of course the booze is not actually ‘free’ – it’s included in the price of the ticket and the fun factor potential is way up there.
Location: Cabana Tour Office at Pier

Cliff Jumping
This new ‘sport’ is taking off in a big way on Phi Phi due to the abundance of fantastic jumping venues. Not without its risks, Cliff Jumping should be approached with an organised tour and participants should try lower jumps, starting from three metres gradually working to a 20-metre leap into the briny. It should be noted that combination tours are available that include snorkeling and cliff jumps.
Location: Cat Climbing Shop, near Café de la Bohème, Ton Sai Central

Deaf Gecko Climbing
It’s not visible to the naked eye but there are around 30 climbing routes on Tonsai Tower (western end of Tonsai Bay). No one knows this better than the people at Deaf Gecko. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and caring rock climbing school/business then check this place out. Deaf Gecko also does night climbing at full moon. Gear rental, guides, information and courses.
Opening Hours: Every day
Location: Between Tonsai Pier and Mama Beach Residence, Tonsai West

Doctor Fish
Some people find small fish nibbling away at the dead skin on their feet exhilarating; other people find it bizarre. Which are you? Punters place their feet in a tank and hundreds of small fish suck, nibble and gently remove the dead skin leaving your tootsies nice and smooth. It should be noted that fish used have no teeth otherwise this would be a rather painful pastime.
Opening Hours: 10:00 – 22:00
Location: Tonsai Main Street
Fishing
First off, it has to be said that no, you won’t take your catch home to cook as fishing around Phi Phi operates on a ‘catch-and-release’ policy. That said, it’s still a lot of fun to pitch your wit, and strength against a black marlin, giant travelly or a sailfish and there’s no lack of them in the Andaman. Wahoo, too, are also common from June to October. You can charter a boat with friends or hire a longtail. Still, the biggest fish are quite a way out so if you’re serious about this sport get a sport fishing boat.
Remarks: Sak Fishing half-day trips - Morning 09:00 – 13:00, Afternoon 13:00 – 18:30

P.P. Marijuana Massage
Regular visitors to Phi Phi will remember that Marijuana was once an accessory store, selling trinkets, necklaces, cosmetic jewelry and the like. No longer: Nowadays Marijuana is a massage parlour run by a bevy of Issan (northeastern) ladies who are rather fun, very giggly and talented at what they do.
Opening Hours: 10:00 – 22:00
Location: Tonsai Main Street diagonally opposite Pee Pee Bakery
Thai Cooking Classes
Thai food is gaining popularity around the world but getting hold of the ingredients to cook it for yourself is not an easy task. This is the essence of Pum Cooking School in Central Ton Sai – to teach you how to use herbs and spices correctly and how to store them as well as of course to cook Thai food. There are three sessions daily – at 11:00, 16:00, and at 18:00 and you can choose from 90-minute, 180-minute and four-hour classes and longer, the recipes studied largely depend on your choice. Written about in the Guardian and mentioned on BBC, Pum’s is professional, witty and lots of fun as well as being educational.

Keirita's Yoga
Yoga teacher Keirita's classes are held in the Mama Beach residence with beautiful views over Ton Sai Bay and in the state-of-the-art fitness centre located in the Banyan Villa Hotel. The classes are intimate – never more than ten people – and Keira is a fully qualified teacher. Interestingly enough, Keira compares the deep breathing exercises yoga employs with scuba diving. Now there’s a marriage made in heaven.
