The punctuality and dedication of the crew on Yacht #5 made the tour even better; everyone brightened up the trip with dancing, smiles, great service, and kindness. Pickup was on time, the meal was at a clean restaurant, and best of all, the snorkeling in the cave. Beautiful scenery; on the way back, we got caught in a downpour with strong winds, but no one controls the weather—only Mother Nature. Thank you for this experience

Such a wonderful and fun evening with the family at carnival Phuket. We were a large family party with various ages, and there was something fun for everyone. The show in particular was incredible. A must visit xx

Awesome trip to the Phi Phi Islands with Mr. Green 🌴☀️ We had an absolutely amazing day! The captain is top-notch, super friendly, and keeps the mood lively the whole time 👍 The scenery is incredible: between Bamboo Island and Maya Bay, it’s just stunning 😍 One small suggestion for improvement, in my opinion: it would be even better to spend a little more time on Koh Phi Phi Don to really enjoy it. And Monkey Island is less interesting, since you mostly see the monkeys from a distance. But overall, a wonderful experience that I highly recommend! 🌊✨

4 stars for a well organised itinerary and helpful staff. Downside was the over crowded boat with new room to move. Not comfortable especially over rough sea and no chance to see the passing scenery only when stopped for photo spots

Mr Chim was very nice and provided a nice atmosphere and knowledge about where not to swim when stinging jellyfish arrived.

Easy booking and smooth communication with the tour organizer. The tour was very well coordinated, and everything followed the itinerary exactly as planned with no changes at all. We were lucky to have perfect weather, calm sea conditions, and a great group of people on the boat that day. Overall, the tour was definitely worth the money. Kudos to our coordinator, Latte, and her amazing crew (Mr. Ya, Mr. Ram, and Mr. Josh) for making the tour enjoyable and well organized. Special thanks to Captain Jack for the safe and smooth navigation throughout the journey. Latte kept everyone entertained with informative sharing and light jokes, making the trip more fun and engaging. Snacks and food were served on time, and the team consistently ensured everyone stayed hydrated and comfortable. My wife and I do not know how to swim, but Mr. Josh took extra care of us during the snorkeling session and made sure we could still enjoy the breathtaking underwater view safely. The day ended perfectly with a beautiful sunset, making the entire experience truly memorable. Highly recommended tour and truly worth the money!

Bamboo Island tours | Coral-rich reefs & soft golden beaches

Bamboo Island is a small, scenic island in Thailand’s Phi Phi archipelago, just 5km northeast of Phi Phi Don. It gets its name from the bamboo that once grew here, though today it's mostly covered in soft sand and casuarina trees. Known for its clear waters, rich marine life, and coral reefs located up to 500m from the shore, it’s a top spot for snorkeling and swimming. Since it’s uninhabited, there are no hotels or restaurants, making it an ideal stop for a quiet beach break.

Bamboo Island is often included in full-day Phi Phi tours, which is the best way to visit since it’s so close to the main islands. The entry fee is covered under the national park fee, so if you're already paying to visit Maya Bay or other Phi Phi spots, you won’t need to pay extra!

Shallow waters

Bamboo Island has some of the clearest waters in the Phi Phi Islands, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The shallow areas allow even beginners to enjoy marine life up close.

Coral reefs for snorkeling

Just offshore, you’ll find coral reefs teeming with fish, making it one of the best spots for snorkeling in the region. Unlike crowded snorkeling sites, the waters here are often less disturbed.

Uncrowded beach space

Unlike other islands, Bamboo Island has more open sandy areas. It’s a good choice if you want to relax without the usual crowds of Maya Bay or Tonsai Beach.

No high cliffs or sharp rocks

While other coastal locations have steep cliffs and rocky shores, Bamboo Island has a flat, sandy coastline. It’s accessible and safe for all ages!

Small enough to explore on foot

At around 700m long and 600m wide, the island is easy to walk around in a short amount of time, making it a great stop for exploration.
