Unfortunately, our snorkeling adventure to Bamboo Island ended due to a severe jellyfish invasion. We visited the Island shore after a rainy night and spent less then a minute in the water.

Felt very lucky to visit this island during a speedboat tour to Phi Phi. Basked in the sun on the stunningly white sands, swam in the soothing cool aqua waters. Very few other people there...could almost imagine being marooned there...

nice trip was included in my trip to maya beach , viking caves, go on long tail boat as u can snorkel and do your own things on your own time as opposed to group visits where u are time bound, long tail boats are also cheaper and available anytime

Our tour to the Phi Phi Islands included a stop at Bamboo Island. Fortunately, it was not crowded so we could enjoy the beauty and solitude that the island had to offer. We were only able to spend 45 minutes there and loved every minute of it. However, I would recommend a much longer stay at the island. The water... More

White sandy beach, about 2 hours by speedboat. On the day we went out for a snorkel, there were many jelly fish, a pity as we were informed the reefs had a lot of fishes.

I took a Longtail boat with friends to Bamboo Island, our captain advised we wait until after 2 when the crowds have gone, a true paradise to visit and swim
