The islands came to worldwide prominence when Ko Phi Phi Le was used as a location for the 2000 British-American film The Beach. This attracted criticism, with claims that the film company had damaged the island's environment, as the producers bulldozed beach areas and planted palm trees to make it more resemble descriptions in the book,[1] an accusation the film's makers contest. An increase in tourism was attributed to the film's release, which resulted in increased environmental degradation. Phi Phi Le is home to the "Viking Cave", where there is a thriving industry harvesting edible bird's nests.

Very well organised from hotel pick up to drop off, there was even breakfast supplied which was unexpected.
Instructions given in multiple languages and thankfully reef shoes for sale because the ground is covered in sharp rocks.
We were on 'Team Spicy' and he was absolutely amazing...we had the best time and finished the day exhausted and with many happy memories.
Thanks Spicy...you made the day even more special!

Unfortunately for me this was only a nice trip to the islands due to the size of the boat we booked paid for vip silver and they tried to put us right down the bottom of the boat as I knew this was not right my partner had to go tell the booking window lady we paid for better seating which was quickly fixed and we were seated correctly up top gold seats is the way to go tho u get top service u get plenty of time to chill if that’s the way u want to get to the islands as the boat takes so long to get there from the slow speed which u travel and then get to the island and u get lunch which was terrible after four days of island tours to various islands while there that lunch was by far the worst didn’t even provide fried rice so I suggest eat elsewhere and then u only get minimal time on the island itself so not my cuppa tea I would try a different option is I was to do it again in future the day wasn’t the best for this chosen day either so all in all id pick a faster option to get to the islands so I could spend more time there enjoying the many food options and the beach or go snorkeling which we chose not to do due to the weather in this day to much time wasted travelling to get to the island but the lovely plate with our family members pics on it as u return to port was fantastic what a great idea now this I liked very much hope I get them home safely in my hand luggage thank u viator I will be trying other options u have to offer next time I return to Phuket
