Ko Phi Phi Day Trip

We booked a trip to visit Ko Phi Phi Islands
we took one of these speedboats...



First stop~ Bamboo Island








back on the boat and heading to stop 2

John and a couple other guys were asked to move to the front of the boat to help balance it out...

stop 2 snorkeling



tiger fish~ they swarm you!!


our guide grabbed this clam off the bottom...

He also grabbed a sea urchin from the bottom and we could see it walking in his hand!!   


John held it!!!

Off to see more fun things!!

Viking cave



Then around the corner to a fun cove/lagoon area!  
Ko Phi Phi Lee ~ uninhabited island



This was our favorite cove area!! So pretty!!

The other side of this rock is the beach from THE BEACH movie, the wind was too strong and it would have been very dangerous for us to go to that side of the island...

Off again to our next stop Monkey island!


This lady from our boat was drinking a CocaCola from a glass bottle and the monkeys wanted it!!  They started tugging at her sarong until she gave it to them!!  Hilarious!




 Ko Phi Phi Don for lunch and swimming!
There are so many tourists here they bring us all to the pavilion up ahead and have a buffet set up!!




Last stop before the ride back!  Snorkeling at Ko Phi Phi Don
They had us jump off the front of the boat... here goes John!!



sea urchins

it is getting pretty rough and choppy




Time to head back!!  The ride back was very very rough...


We made it back safely!  Our guide was great and very worried about our satisfaction with the trip!  It was fun!!!

John needed a beer after that scary ride back!  He got tossed around pretty good on the front of the boat!
