Famous for its Maya Bay, there’s no need to deny that this island is exceptionally beautiful. There are many travel agents offering Phi Phi tour packages. Some of them start from Phuket, and the others start from Phi Phi. I would recommend you to take the tour which starts from Phi Phi instead, since it would be more flexible and cost much cheaper.

There are dozens of beautiful islands around it, such as Tidung, Pari, Pramuka, etc., but it looks like Harapan Island is on the top currently.
