Viking Cave

Yes the surrounding waters are gorgeous and excellent for snorkeling. But the cave itself is now owned by a private company for the collection of stealing nests from birds to make a Chinese soup, so it is closed to the public. With ancient viking drawings supposedly in the cave, it would have been better for the cave to be owned by the National Park, art work secured and open to the public for historical appreciation. You can do no more by boat than pass in front of it.

You can see this from phi phi island tour. There's usually not scheduled stopping, however boatman may stop or slow down on request. At phi phi don you can hire private boat at 800-1000 bats per hour.

Though i thought we cud go inside the cave, but unfortunately, it has been handed to some private comp. So just a boat passing by was enough f4 us. 😕

Our tour guide explained that the viking cave was once open for tourist access - to witness bird nest harvest, enjoy bird nest delicacy. However, such access has caused unwanted distraction to the nature habitat, pollution and damage. It's now closed but there are still local living in the cave. It's very beautiful and we're allowed to park our speedboat and snorkel from a distance. It's a beautiful place. The snorkeling experience is great, rich marine life and beautiful live corals.
