This is THE Koh Phi Phi postcard: the sand hourglass between the twin bays of Tonsai and Loh Dalum, seen from above. The climb from the village is short but honest — concrete stairs, then jungle path — over three tiers: Viewpoint 1, Viewpoint 2 (the main platform, 186 m) and Viewpoint 3, wilder and often empty. Allow 30 to 45 minutes at an easy pace.
Start at the pier and head east through the shopping lanes. Follow the yellow "Viewpoint" signs — you can't go wrong, it goes up.
The toughest stretch: a run of steep concrete stairs under the trees. Take your own pace — there are landings to catch your breath and the first views already open up.
First platform with a small shop. The view opens over Loh Dalum — many stop here, but the best is above.
5 more minutes on a paved path: this is where THE twin-bay photo is taken (entry 30-50 THB, garden and café). At sunrise the light comes from exactly the right direction.
A dirt path continues north through the jungle to a quieter rocky platform. It's also where the descent to Rantee starts if you want to link both hikes.
