Itinerary
Depart from Boat Lagoon Marina after light breakfast.
Phi Phi Island Tour’s first glimpse of magic - Maya Bay Phi Phi Maya Bay has been a "must sightseeing location" for hordes of 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. At Simba, you will be one of the first boats to arrive at this awe-inspiring bay to enjoy placing the first footprints of the day into its fine white sand. ***During the months of August, September, the Phi Phi National Park closes Maya Bay to tourists to allow some annual rejuvenation to the ecosystem. The stunning Bamboo Island is visited instead during these months. ***
The tour’s emerald crown, Pi Leh Lagoon - Tide Dependent Our next port of call on our sunrise tour, if the tide allows, is Pileh Lagoon before the crowds arrive. It's a spectacular emerald-green lagoon surrounded by high limestone cliffs on three sides and 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.
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 and around Phi Phi's waters, we regularly see reef sharks and are occasionally visited by whale sharks, dolphins, and whales. If you're lucky, we may see these on tour!
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 troop. For our own safety, we stay on the boat while 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 bird's nests used to make bird's 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!
Islands and Crystal Waters - 2nd Snorkeling Stop It's time to say hello to the fish again with another snorkeling stop on our Phi Phi Island Tour. Subject to tide and weather conditions, snorkel through some caves to spot amazing schools of baby fish hiding in shelter from their predators.
Tours demand relaxation time - Bamboo Beach or Koh Rang Yai, Our penultimate stop on your Phi Phi Islands tour is selected depending on the conditions of the day, and our crew chooses 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 and calm 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.
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 flavors of the island. You'll have the opportunity to enhance your culinary palette in one of the most beautiful pool club settings imaginable, which will provide all the nourishment you need after a long day undertaking sea activities.

We did a private speedboat tour around Phang Na Bay and it did not disappoint! The crew were super friendly and informative, we went at our own speed and they provided plenty of water and snacks. They took us to the best areas and we started earlier to avoid the crowds. Would definitely recommend and do it again!
We loved having you on board, Janet — glad everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
Sara and her team were so phenomenal. Our driver was right on time at 5am with a big smile. The whole day was filled with snacks - they fed us so well! My husband and I could not swim but Sara and her team found ways to enhance our experience nonetheless. The views were spectacular and the beaches were stunning. The Thai sun favoured us for sure and we had nothing but the best experience. Thank you Sara and your whole team for the best ending to our trip :) khàawp khun khâ!!! With love from Canada xoxo
Thanks so much for choosing us for your sunrise adventure — we're thrilled the whole experience, from pickup to boat to crew, hit the mark.
Excellent experience. We were not sure about whether to book the usual tour or a private tour. After reading other reviews we went ahead and booked the private tour and am glad we did. We were able to go at our own schedule spending more time at certain points and leave earlier at other times. We covered a lot (sunrise, Maya beach, Macaque Monkeys, 2 snorkelling spots, beach with swimming) and with boisterous children it made it a lot easier having a private boat. The staff were great including our guide James. The food on the trip was fantastic and plentiful. At the end they brought more very quickly when the popular nuggets ran out for lunch. Definately worth it if you have a young family.
We're thrilled you enjoyed the Phi Phi sunrise experience with us, and we really appreciate you noting how smoothly everything ran from start to finish.
Everything was done perfectly. From the on time pick up at our hotel to the wonderful lunch they served us in their restaurant at the end of the tour. We enjoyed the staff on board who were incredibly attentive. There were plenty of stops to break up the day. The crew was incredibly patient with those who might need extra time to get gear on or step on and off the boat. Surprise on board was fruit served twice throughout the trip. Spring rolls when we needed a snack and the sticky rice and banana bread on Maya Bay was lovely. Overall a great excursion! Lunch at the restaurant was delicious and plentiful!

We hope to welcome you again in the future. Best regards, Andrea

It was an early start to our day but well worth it. Appreciated the good continental breakfast before getting on the boat. Surprised how busy Maya beach was at 7:00 am. The snorkelling was good, one of the guides identified the various fish. Beverages and fruit offered throughout the day. The last stop at Rang Yai island was very nice. A pristine quiet beach, a perfect end to the day. The guides were very friendly and helpful.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We’re glad you felt the early start was worthwhile and that you enjoyed the continental breakfast before boarding. Maya Bay can still be quite busy even in the morning, but it’s great to hear you made the most of the visit and had a good snorkeling experience. We’re especially pleased that our guide helped identify the different fish and added to your understanding of the marine life. It’s also wonderful to know you enjoyed the refreshments throughout the day and that Rang Yai Island provided a peaceful and pristine setting to end the trip. We truly appreciate your kind comments about our friendly and helpful guides. We hope to welcome you back again for another memorable day on the water. Best wishes, Andrea
Perfectly organised amazing trip with an incredible crew. You just knew you were in the best hands. Felt safe and secure throughout, and well worth the 4am alarm call!
Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed a perfectly organised trip and felt safe and well taken care of by our crew. Knowing that the experience was worth the early start really means a lot to us. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Andrea
This tour was worth every penny and more. Sara and the crew were absolutely amazing. You have to do the sunrise tour to avoid the crowds. This was so great we have another private tour booked to another island.
Dear Deanna, Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review. We’re thrilled to hear that the tour was worth every penny and that Sara and the crew made such a great impression. The sunrise tour really is the best way to enjoy the experience and avoid the crowds, so we’re glad you loved it. We’re also excited to welcome you on your upcoming private tour and truly appreciate your continued support. Best wishes, Andrea
Sara and the crew were amazing. The boat trip to get there is no joke. I enjoyed the heck out of it but recommend the Dramamine if you’re not a fan of bumpy boat rides. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re so glad to hear that Sara and the crew made such a positive impression and that you enjoyed the experience. The boat ride can definitely be lively depending on conditions, and we appreciate you sharing that helpful tip for future guests. The current wind has been very unseasonal! Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Andrea
