Ko Phi Phi - Boat Tour

The one full day that we were in Ko Phi Phi we hired a longtail boat for several hours to take us around the island and to the smaller islands surrounding.  We hired our boat through the hotel but you can also hire through the sea gypsy village down the beach.  We started early to beat the crowds that daytrip from Phuket and Krabi.

We went to Maya Bay (where the movie The Beach with Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed), Monkey Bay, Mosquito Island, Bamboo Island, and more.  We snorkeled, walked along the beach, and enjoyed sunning ourselves in the boat while flying through the water.  The snorkeling was awesome and the water was so clear.  If you are able to make it to Ko Phi Phi, renting a private boat is an absolute must-do.  It was one of my favorite things the whole trip.
