About Viking Cave
Viking Cave is Phi Phi Leh’s cave-and-reef dive, a cliff-front site where a cave feature sits above hard corals, sea fans and a shallow coral garden. The main draw is the easy reef, blacktip reef sharks and occasional turtles, with the cave element adding a distinctive overhead feature for confident guided divers.
