We were here for only half an hour which was enough time to swim in the clear blue water and take a few beautiful pictures. The beach is beautiful, but it is (or was when we were there) covered in broken coral, which could be unpleasant to step on with bare feet. If I had the chance, I wouldn't walked... More

I found this island while I'm having the trip with NudiIsland Tour. This place is really beyond my expectation, in a great way. The island had only white sand beach with nothing else. No stalls, no shops, just beach. And you even can smell the sea breeze. Before, I can only smell sea breeze using my aroma candle. I had... More

A beautiful, peaceful day. Take a long tail boat, do some snorkeling at mosquito island, then spend an hour or two walking around bamboo island. More

We visited the island on a one day snorkeling trip and fell in love with it, nice white sand and clear water- very nice! We went back there twice because we liked it so much! More

I read about Bamboo Island in a nice info website, in that time I decided to go there. It's a beautiful beach/island not much to do but definitely a must-go when you are on Phi Phi Islands. Where I "discover" Bamboo Island http://www.phiphieasyguide.com/phi-phi-beaches/bamboo-island/ More

200 Baht per person to visit the island - not much to see. Toilet, cafe, few huts. Snorkelling offshore ok. Preferred the snorkelling at nearby Mosquito Island - shallower, so easier to see. More

It was a beautiful island that we took a longboat to from Koh Phi Phi. If you're into snorkeling, there was some beauty, but not the best. A lot of the coral was dead, but the beach was gorgeous. Go if you have time to kill, but don't make it a must see. More
