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!
