Phi phi Viewpoint 1

Wow — this climb is no joke, but it’s 100% worth it. The views at the top are unreal and easily one of the best things we did on the Phi Phi Islands. There’s even a restaurant up there that’s a great spot to grab lunch and take a break (we were rushing to catch our ferry, otherwise we would’ve stayed longer). As someone who actually enjoys hiking, I loved having something challenging to do instead of just hanging on the beach the whole time. Quick warning though: the hike down is just as tough as the hike up… your knees and thighs will definitely feel it 😂 Highly recommend making the time for this one.

You need to climb some steep stairs what can be a bit tiring especially in the heat but it is totally worth it. Especially that after Viewpoint 1, Viewpoint 2 is awaiting you with even better views. It is a private property. Entrance fee to Viewpoints 1 & 2 is 50baht per person. You enter a nicely and thoughtfully arranged garden with beautiful plants, funny “sculptures/forms” of 🍉 🍎 🍌 🍓 . Great place to take photos. But it is just the beginning, follow the route to Viewpoint 2 (it’s a road, a bit steep with a few stairs at the end) Views on Viewpoint 2 are breathtaking!

Absolutely stunning. Worth every minute of climbing and sweating. You can stay as long as you'd like. There are other viewpoints to experience as well so keep that in mind. BE PREPARED because there are a lot of steps and even for a person such as myself that is in fairly great shape, it can be a bit tiring with the combination of the heat. I'd recommend going early morning and watching the sun bless the island with an awakening! The views are absolutely stunning. Simply breathtaking. There's no need to rush through there is a lot to see.
