Paradise On Earth
Phi Phi island is a unique, one-of-a-kind place that needs our protection. It has everything. Amazing scenery, idyllic beaches, mesmorizing marine life. All that is needed, is the know-how to make it accessible to visitors that can appreciate how special this place is. Phi Phi Island is truly a National Treasure.
The Adventure Club was established in 2000 after founder, Andrew Hewett had spent an intimate 5 years living and exploring the Phi Phi Islands.
Andrew explored every inch of the group of 6 island, discovering underwater caves, families of black-tip reef sharks and quiet unexplored reefs. His curiosity inspired him to learn as much as possible about the coral reef.
Although it started out as pure passion, it did not take long for him to realize that his passion and discoveries were just what the everyday backpacker was looking for. Adventure. Originality. A feeling of uniqueness in an already growing world of mass tourism.
And thus The Adventure Club was born.
As by name, we aim to provide just that. Adventure. A variety of programs that allow travelers to access the best there is to offer and feel they have made the most unrivaled choice to join The Adventure Club.
