Frequently asked

Koh Phai (Bamboo Island) is an islet in the Phi Phi national park, north of Phi Phi Don, white sand, shallow water and reefs, perfect for snorkeling.
No, the park fee (400 THB adult, 200 THB child) is paid on site. Everything else (boat, guide, lunch, snorkeling) is included.
Yes, shallow, calm water, a sandy beach and easy snorkeling. Ideal with children (reduced 4-11 rate).
Yes, Bamboo is often part of the big Phi Phi tour. Here it's a dedicated, quieter day focused on the beach and snorkeling.
The tour costs 1,800 THB per adult and 1,500 THB per child aged 4 to 11, from 1 person. That includes the Ao Nang hotel transfer, speedboat, English-speaking guide, snorkelling gear, lunch box, water, fruit and insurance. The national park fee is extra: 400 THB per adult and 200 THB per child, paid on site.
Yes, the round-trip transfer from Ao Nang hotels is included, with pickup at 9:00 am and drop-off after the boat returns around 4:00 pm. If you stay in Krabi Town, Klong Muang, Tub Kaek or Nong Thalay, the transfer costs an extra 500 THB per person per way.
Most of the day. The speedboat lands on Bamboo Island around 10:00 am, snorkelling around the island starts at 11:00 am, lunch is at 12:30 pm and free time follows from 2:00 pm, before the return to Ao Nang around 4:00 pm. It is a dedicated day on and around one island, not a quick stop.
This tour runs by speedboat, with a local skipper, from the Ao Nang pier to Koh Phai, better known as Bamboo Island, in the Phi Phi park. The price table lists a single speedboat rate: 1,800 THB per adult and 1,500 THB per child aged 4 to 11.
Yes, a lunch box is included and served on the beach around 12:30 pm, along with water and fresh fruit during the day. Alcoholic drinks are not included. After lunch there is free time from 2:00 pm to relax on the sand or snorkel once more.
It is worth it if you want a calm beach day with easy snorkelling: white sand, shallow turquoise water and a reef a few metres from shore, in a quieter setting than Maya Bay. If you would rather see many islands in one day, a multi-stop island tour will suit you better than this dedicated Bamboo Island day.

Bamboo Island · Krabi (speedboat)
All the details

White sand, turquoise water and coral reefs: Bamboo Island (Koh Phai), one of the loveliest islets in the Phi Phi park, by speedboat from Ao Nang. Snorkeling, lunch box and English-speaking guide.

Why Bamboo Island

When you picture a postcard beach, white sand, shallow turquoise water and a reef a few metres from shore, Bamboo Island ticks every box. Koh Phai, better known as Bamboo Island, lies in the Phi Phi park. Calmer than Maya Bay, it is a pure beach-and-snorkelling day rather than a tour with many short stops.

How the day works

  • 9:00 am Pickup from your Ao Nang hotel, transfer to the pier and speedboat boarding.
  • 10:00 am Bamboo Island (Koh Phai): landing on the white-sand beach and free swim time.
  • 11:00 am Snorkelling over the coral reefs around the island, in turquoise water.
  • 12:30 pm Lunch break on the beach with a lunch box and fresh fruit.
  • 2:00 pm Free time: relax on the sand or go for a final snorkelling session.
  • 4:00 pm Back to the pier in Ao Nang, then transfer to your hotel.

An English-speaking guide is with you all day, and the speedboat is driven by a local skipper.

Who it suits

The tour is rated easy and suits families, couples, groups and solo travellers. It is a good fit if you want a slow day on one beautiful beach with easy snorkelling, rather than hopping between many islands. It also works well as a lazy beach day between two bigger tours.

Our tip

The island is small and only shaded in places. When the boat lands, head straight for a towel spot near the trees.

Before you go

Good to know

  • Prone to seasickness?

    Take a tablet ~30 min before departure, sit mid-boat, keep your eyes on the horizon and avoid heading out on an empty stomach.

    Iconic spots like Maya Bay are far calmer early in the day. Our morning departures get you there before the midday ferry rush.

  • National park fees

    Some sites sit inside a national park, so an entrance fee may apply. Check the “Not included” list above so there are no surprises.

  • Sun & reef care

    The tropical sun is strong, bring a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water. Reef-safe sunscreen is required in Thai marine parks.

  • What to pack

    Swimwear under your clothes, a towel, a dry bag for your phone, and a change of clothes for the trip back.
