Getting Around Phi Phi Island
Getting around on Phi Phi Island via public transportation is impossible - simply put there is none. The public transportation is to and from the island. Once on the island you will find that there are no cars, very few motorcycles and only a scarce number of bicycles on the island.
People get around Phi Phi Island by foot and are quite surprised how easy and convenient it is to do so. Longer distances are covered by getting in a long tail boat and getting to the part of the island you need to get to before taking the rest of the trip via foot.
Visitors from around the world find this to be unusual and wonderful at the same time. No traffic, no blaring horns, no nonsense. You literally are on an island paradise completely removed from the rest of the world.
Taking the boats around to other parts of the island can also be fun - view it as a great adventure as you enjoy living in paradise for the duration of your holiday. Some of the boat staff is fun and interesting and others may be all business but either way you can make it a fun time for you and your family.
You can speak to your hotel or resort about the best way to get to the destination you are interested in. Whether you are going by foot or taking a boat will be dependent on where you want to go and how much walking you want to or are able to do.
Most visitors find getting around Phi Phi Island fairly easy and most of their time is spent within one or two of the villages. A trip to Phi Phi Island is about great beaches, recreation, good food and entertainment. Though there are less sites to see than some other holiday destinations, this island paradise delights people from around the world who love leaving the hustle and bustle of city life behind them and enjoy the wonderful island with no public transportation other than longtail water taxis.
