Koh Phi Phi Lee is a piece of Thai paradise that has it all – beautiful waters, lovely scenery, and an abundance of rocks and other stunning landscapes. It might have become famous for being the location for a movie, but it has grown as a vacation spot for the past few years. However, it’s crucial for tourists to also have an idea of what to do when they get here. With that, here’s a definitive list of some of the best things to do in Koh Phi Phi Lee.
Hike to Ao Lo Dalam.
Koh Phi Phi is much more than just a fantastic destination for tourists. As a matter of fact, the island boasts a plethora of stunning sights, and this just happens to be one of them. If you like to experience the beauty of the island, you could try hiking. One of the most popular hiking routes, of course, is the 30-minute journey to the southern end of Ao Lo Dalam. The bay is quiet and very beautiful, with skimming crystal blue waters and scenery that provides the perfect relaxation setting.
Visit the Viking Caves.
There’s no bucket list of the best things to do in Ko Phi Phi Lee that would be complete without a visit to the Viking Caves. Standing at the northeastern end of the Ko Phi Phi Island, the walls of these caves have been properly beautified with images of longboats. Some areas are also covered with chalk, thus giving the impression of an antique cave with all the historical relevance. Legend has it that the drawings were done by Viking pirates and sea lords over a thousand years ago. Whether or not this is true, the beauty and rustic nature of these caves make them incredibly artsy. If you’re fortunate, you could even see some swiftlets roosting in the caves as well.
Rock climbing
Just as it is with a lot of islands around this area, Koh Phi Phi has some incredibly beautiful limestone cliffs as well. With panoramic views of the area, the rocks provide a great way to explore the landscape like no other way can. Rock climbing adventures here are a tad advanced, but you’ll find that it’s more than worth the effort. Thankfully for you, several reputable companies provide affordable climbing adventures with quality equipment, so your safety is pretty much guaranteed. The best time to climb the rocks is around the afternoon as well, since the temperatures are lower, and you won’t need to deal with excessive sunlight. Also, if you feel too scared about climbing the cliffs, then there’s something for you, too. The base of the cliffs is filled with boats, which you can hire and use to explore them. Regardless of how you choose to explore, you’ll come to find that these cliffs are indeed a marvel worth viewing.
Check out Ao Pileh Bay.
Ao Pileh Bay is a secluded area filled with all the splendor you can expect from a Thai paradise. It’s a shallow, large cove with an entrance filled with coral reefs. The lagoon is filled with emerald waters, surrounded by rustic limestone cliffs. You get waters so clear. The bright lights illuminate the floor of the cove. The sea is also very warm, so you can feel free to take a dip or snorkel with your friends. The beauty of the entire scenery is just overwhelming.
