Koh Phi Phi Tour Pier

4.5(652 reviews)

Situated in Ao Nang within Mueang Krabi District, this working tour pier serves as the primary embarkation point for travellers heading to the Phi Phi Islands. It connects visitors to both Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh, where activities such as swimming, snorkelling, and beach exploration are the main draw. The pier's location within Ao Nang makes it straightforward to reach, with accommodation and dining options available nearby. Visitors can expect a busy, functional environment with multiple tour operators and boat options on offer. The atmosphere is practical rather than scenic, with the focus squarely on logistics and getting passengers organised for departure. A range of trip formats is typically available, from half-day excursions to longer overnight packages, catering to different schedules and budgets. Good to know: The pier operates daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Early morning departures are advisable to make the most of island time before crowds build. During peak season, which runs roughly from November through February, booking tours in advance is strongly recommended to secure preferred departure times. Travellers should plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before their scheduled boat, bring sun protection, and consider water shoes for the shallow pier area and island landings.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Vet Elephant Sanctuaries

Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.

Book Through Klook or GetYourGuide

These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.

Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning

Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
