Why Bamboo Island
When you dream of a postcard beach — white sand, shallow turquoise water, a reef a few metres from shore — Bamboo Island ticks every box. Calmer than Maya Bay, it's a pure beach-and-snorkeling moment.
Our tip
Perfect as a relaxed or family day. Pair it with a nature morning to fill the day, or keep it as a lazy beach day between two bigger tours.
Tip: the island is small and shaded in places — arrive early to grab 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.
Beat the crowds
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.
