Highlights
  • Phuket Boat Lagoon Marina - Phukets only 5 star marina. Marvel at the beautiful yachts as we embark on our adventure into the Andaman sea.
  • Maya Bay - Phi Phi Island Tour’s first glimpse of magic - Maya Bay

Phi Phi Maya Bay has been a “must sightseeing location” for hordes of Thailand tourists for decades and as such, has suffered from its overuse. Thankfully the National Park prohibited from 2018 to the end of 2021, any boat from dropping anchor in the bay and alighting at the beach, to allow the gorgeous coral island treasures, wildlife and environment time to recover. You will be one of the first boats to arrive and this awe inspiring bay to enjoy placing the first footprints of the day into it’s fine white sand.

  • Pileh Bay - The tour’s emerald crown, Pileh Lagoon - Tide Dependent

Our next port of call on our sunrise tour, if tide allows, is Pileh Lagoon before the crowds arrive. It is a spectacular emerald green lagoon surrounded by high limestone cliffs on 3 sides, one of the world’s most gorgeous natural swimming pools. Grab your action camera and film or take a photo of the extremely spectacular view of the emerald waters merging with the caves and the blue clear horizon.

  • Monkey Beach - Phi Phi Islands have their secrets - Macaque Monkeys and the Viking Cave

During the tour, we will stop by one of the local beaches for a viewing of the monkey troops. For our own safety, we stay on the boat whilst viewing these cute Long-tailed Macaques on the monkey beach. For animal lovers, this is one of the most featured moments of the tour!

The Viking Cave is home to the special Birds’ Nests used to make Birds Nest Soup. It is not possible to enter this enormous cave but we will show you from the outside and you can witness the armed guards guarding the birds’ nests from looters!

  • Viking Cave - Experience the Phi Phi Islands from underwater - 1st Snorkeling Stop

It is now time to explore the magical underwater world with some swimming and snorkeling during our speedboat tour.

We supply all your snorkeling equipment including fins and flotation aids such as life jackets and swim noodles. The staff are always there (in and out of the water) ready to help any first timers with encouragement, advice and sometimes just a helping hand throughout the day tour.

In around Phi Phi waters, we are regularly visited by Whale Sharks, Dolphins, Whales and Reef Sharks. If you’re lucky we may see these on tour!

  • Nui Beach - Islands and Crystal Waters - 2nd Snorkeling Stop

It’s time to say hello to the fishes again with another snorkeling stop on our Phi Phi Island Tour.

  • Ko Rang Yai - Tours demand relaxation time - Bamboo Beach or Koh Rang Yai

Our  penultimate stop on your Phi Phi Islands tour is selected dependant on the conditions of the day and our crew choose between one of two idyllic  tropical islands. Bamboo Island or Koh Rang Yai. Here, you can swim, bathe, relax and take in the sights. Both are true paradise islands with crystal clear waters, picturesque palm trees, and soft white sand.

Take your time to enjoy the island’s beauty at one of the most stunning beaches in the world and end your day the right way.

  • Soho Pool Club - Finish your trip to Phi Phi with a well-deserved lunch at our popular pool club restaurant. Many travelers have enjoyed the scrumptious thai-style lunch with all the local flavours of the island.

You’ll have the opportunity to enhance your culinary palette in one of the most beautiful pool club settings imaginable and will provide all the nourishment you need after a long day undertaking sea activities.

Sensational sunrise, snorkelling and scenery ❤️ - As people who aren't neccessarily early risers, this was 100% worth the 4AM alarm! From the prompt hotel pick-up, we got treated to a light breakfast before making our way onto the boat to meet our amazing crew for the day (Noy our tour guide, N-N, our snorkling guide/lead and Sit-Sit our boat captain). The sunrise was gorgeous, with the ride to the islands alone being super scenic. Being part of the first groups to visit Maya Bay, it was such a privilege to walk on those soft sandy beaches, and being able to have a sticky rice snack whilst watching Black Tip Reef Shark pups swim in the shallows was one for the memory bank. The swimming and Snorkelling are also amazing, with plenty of fish, coral and other assorted oddities to find. We were also lucky to swim amongst a baby Black Tip Reef Shark, which was sometime I didn't expect to see. To wind down, we relaxed on Rang Yai Island, drinking a coconut whilst regaining our land legs a little bit, before finishing up back at base for a flavourful buffet spread. What else can I say? The food? Aroy Mak! (Thai for Very Delicious) Our guides? Helpful and humourous. The activities & Scenery? Postcard-worthy (weather permitting) If you're looking for a way to both beat the heat and drink in the beauty of this region, I cannot recommend this enough.

Amazing time! - Went on rainy season but we still had an amazing time. Tour guide are very knowledgeable and respectful. They were the vibe of the whole trip. Our ride were very bumpy due to some weather traveling from island to island but Our captain made sure we get there safe. Thank you for an amazing time!

Wonderful experience - Choose Simba as I had read great reviews and the trip was excellent. The crew were wonderful, Mo Mo was very informative and when snorkelling she showed us a family of three different fish and a small reef shark. It was a rainy day but it was still amazing and water was very warm. It was a bit bumpy in the way back and the way the crew cared for two men who were unwell was wonderful. They were attentive to my 10year old daughter and just very welcoming. I would definitely travel again by Simba and would recommend them to anyone. I really enjoyed the small group feel too.

Wonderful day on the water - This trip was amazing! It did start eSrly but we saw a sunrise on the boat headed to our first destination. First destination was to a beach on bamboo island. There was some time on the sand beach and breakfast was set up for us. The food was good, banana bread, sticky rice and fresh fruit with tea or coffee. We headed to our next destination. We did drive by one that is currently closed this time of year. We snorkeled in a few different places and was offered drinks (water or soda) throughout the trip. Also had a snack of spring roll salad and a snack bar along with food left from breakfast. The sights were wonderful on the boat trip and the snorkeling was good. Saw multiple types of tropical fish and our guides made sure to point out ones of interest such as orange clown fish, black clown fish and a sea snake. Along the way we pulled into a beach with monkeys (we didn’t get out of the boat or feed them). We also stopped at another island to relax on a sandy beach again and there was a place to buy drinks. Many enjoyed a chilled coconut. We had a buffet lunch afterwards with plenty of food and then the ride back to our hotel. Harry and crew pointed out different sights along the way and overall provided a very pleasant day. I would recommend this trip (and I would do it again).

Beautiful tour but, in fairness, they should specify that Maya Beach is closed in August - Well organized tour with guides always available and attentive. In fact they provide drinks and snacks throughout the tour... to the point that I was convinced that the last snack offered to us on the boat was lunch (which had initially disappointed me a bit), but when we returned to the port we were served a real lunch buffet decidedly varied and hearty. Being able to get to the various beaches early in the morning, before the tourist crowds, is definitely a priceless added value (although the tour is not a cheap Point of Sale). The only flaw is the fact that both in the description on the site at the time of Reservation and in their confirmation email was expressly indicated the stage of Maya Beach (that of the movie The Beach), so the disappointment was considerable when we just got on the boat we were told that this beach was instead closed from August 1 until September (something well known to them for some time). It would therefore be appropriate that, for correctness in the communication, it was specified in their advertising to avoid unpleasant misunderstandings (considering also that this is probably the May leg recall of the entire tour and that maybe someone could book it even for that destination). That's why I don't make the best judgment.
