Activities in Ko Phi Phi
Snorkeling - there are two rocks within swimming distance of Long Beach known as 'Shark Point' where harmless blacktip reef sharks can be seen. The Adventure Club dive shop runs 'Shark Watch' snorkeling trips to Shark Point that 'guarantee' a sighting of sharks. Many dive schools take snorkelers on their dive boats, but expect to see only a hint of the underwater marvel visible to scuba divers. The snorkeling off Bamboo and Mosqito Islands is quite good although the reefs are a long way below you at high tide. If you arrive to the bamboo island in the long tail boat you will be asked to pay 200 baht/person to stay on the beach or 400 baht/person to stay on the beach and island, always ask for the ticket, and do not believe that you have to pay with the ticket 400 baht/person, actually it cost 200 baht/person to stay on the beach. For an excellent chance to see sharks, visit Paradise Diving on Longbeach who will point you in the right direction of the Black Tip Reef Shark's habitat metres from the sandy shore. Paradise Diving is on The Paradise Resort in the middle of Longbeach.
Scuba Diving - Even though the island was struck badly by the Tsunami disaster in 2004, the dive sites were almost unaffected and divers are coming back in flocks. There are many dive shops in Ton Sai bay, Phi Phi within walking distance of each other, they can organize all diving and accommodation also. Prices are regulated, so expect to pay the same everywhere. A PADI open water course is 13,800 baht, with SSI being 900 baht less (Nov 2010). There are a few different trips offered by Phi Phi dive operators, the typical trip is a two tank local dive within the Phi Phi Marine park which will run about 2500 baht, 2000 baht if you bring your own gear. They also do 2 -3 tank trips to the King Cruiser wreck with your follow up dives at both Shark Point and Anemone Reef, this trip usually runs between 3200 -3900 depending on the number of dives you do. Further away, Hin Daeng has some of the steepest drops in Thailand (60m+) as well as being the place you are most likely to see Manta Rays and Whale Sharks, and can be a great dive trip, but it only runs if sea conditions are good. Out of the main town there are another couple of dive shops on Long beach. Check out DiveThailand.com for more information, or the original UK ran Long Beach Divers both are located on the longbeach.
Yoga Classes - There are excellent yoga classes on offer daily in Koh Phi Phi, Keira of Keiritas Yoga offers classes on Carlito Bars roof top and in Banyan Villa Gym for people of all levels and experience. Yoga on Phi Phi. The yoga is a mixture of Ashtange and Hatha.
Rock Climbing - there are opportunities for rock climbing on Ko Phi Phi, and a few climbing shops to rent equipment, find a guide or take basic lessons.
