Phi Phi Island Tour eerste glimp van magie - Maya Bay Phi Phi Maya Bay is al tientallen jaren een "must sightseeing locatie" voor hordes Thailand toeristen en als zodanig heeft geleden onder het overmatige gebruik. Gelukkig verbood het Nationaal Park van 2018 tot eind 2021 elke boot om het anker in de baai te laten vallen en op het strand uit te stappen, om de prachtige schatten van koraaleilanden, wilde dieren en het milieu de tijd te geven om te herstellen. U zult een van de eerste boten zijn die arriveren en deze ontzagwekkende baai om te genieten van het plaatsen van de eerste voetafdrukken van de dag in het fijne witte zand. ***Tijdens de maanden augustus en september sluit het Phi Phi National Park Maya Bay af voor toeristen om enige jaarlijkse verjonging van het ecosysteem mogelijk te maken. Het prachtige Bamboo Island wordt in deze maanden bezocht. ***
De smaragdgroene kroon van de tour, Pileh-lagune - Tide Dependent Onze volgende aanloophaven tijdens onze sunrise-tour is, als het tij het toelaat, de Pileh-lagune voordat de drukte aanbreekt. Het is een spectaculaire smaragdgroene lagune omgeven door hoge kalkrotsen aan 3 zijden, een van 's werelds mooiste natuurlijke zwembaden. Grijp je actiecamera en film of maak een foto van het buitengewoon spectaculaire uitzicht op de smaragdgroene wateren die samensmelten met de grotten en de blauwe heldere horizon.
Ervaar de Phi Phi-eilanden van onder water - 1st Snorkeling Stop Het is nu tijd om de magische onderwaterwereld te verkennen met wat zwemmen en snorkelen tijdens onze speedboottocht. Wij leveren al uw snorkeluitrusting, inclusief vinnen en drijfhulpmiddelen zoals reddingsvesten en zwemnoedels. Het personeel staat altijd klaar (in en uit het water) om eerstejaars te helpen met aanmoediging, advies en soms gewoon een helpende hand tijdens de dagtour. In de wateren rond Phi Phi worden we regelmatig bezocht door walvishaaien, dolfijnen, walvissen en rifhaaien. Als je geluk hebt, kunnen we deze op tour zien!
Phi Phi-eilanden hebben hun geheimen - Macaque Monkeys en de Viking Cave Tijdens de tour zullen we stoppen bij een van de plaatselijke stranden om de aaptroepen te bekijken. Voor onze eigen veiligheid blijven we op de boot tijdens het bekijken van deze schattige langstaart makaken op het apenstrand. Voor dierenliefhebbers is dit een van de meest aanbevolen momenten van de tour! De Viking Cave is de thuisbasis van de speciale Birds 'Nests die worden gebruikt om Birds Nest Soup te maken. Het is niet mogelijk om deze enorme grot binnen te gaan, maar we zullen je van buitenaf laten zien en je kunt getuige zijn van de gewapende bewakers die de vogelnesten bewaken tegen plunderaars!
Islands and Crystal Waters - 2nd Snorkeling Stop Het is tijd om de vissen opnieuw te begroeten met een andere snorkelstop op onze Phi Phi Island Tour.
Tours vragen om ontspanning - Bamboo Beach of Koh Rang Yai Onze voorlaatste stop op uw Phi Phi-eilanden-tour wordt geselecteerd afhankelijk van de omstandigheden van de dag en onze bemanning kiest tussen een van de twee idyllische tropische eilanden. Bamboe-eiland of Koh Rang Yai. Hier kunt u zwemmen, baden, relaxen en genieten van de bezienswaardigheden. Beide zijn echte paradijselijke eilanden met kristalhelder water, pittoreske palmbomen en zacht wit zand. Neem de tijd om te genieten van de schoonheid van het eiland op een van de mooiste stranden ter wereld en eindig je dag goed.
Rond uw reis naar Phi Phi af met een welverdiende lunch in ons populaire zwembadclubrestaurant. Veel reizigers hebben genoten van de heerlijke lunch in Thaise stijl met alle lokale smaken van het eiland. Je krijgt de kans om je culinaire palet te verbeteren in een van de mooiste zwembadclub-omgevingen die je je kunt voorstellen en zorgt voor alle voeding die je nodig hebt na een lange dag vol zee-activiteiten.

Noi and his crew did a fantastic job! From the nick up at our hotel at 4;55am on the dot to the speed boat tour including phi phi islands, lots of yummy snacks and great service including the swimming and snorkeling - couldn’t have been better. And the buffet lunch at the end was wonderful! Go in this tour, you won’t regret it!
Dear Gary_A, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic day with Noi and the crew. Starting with a punctual early morning pickup and continuing through the islands, snorkeling, swimming, and all the little touches along the way, it's great to know everything exceeded your expectations. Noi and our team take great pride in creating a seamless and memorable experience, so your kind words about the service, snacks, and buffet lunch will mean a lot to them. We believe the small details make a big difference, and we're thrilled that you felt so well looked after throughout the day. Thank you as well for recommending the tour to future guests. There is no greater compliment than hearing that you would encourage others to join us. We hope to welcome you back to Phuket for another adventure someday! Best regards, Andrea
Very good tour I did enjoy every bit of it.
Thanks so much for your review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed every bit of the tour. Hope to see you back at Simba one day! Best wishes, Andrea
Simba Sea Trips Phuket delivers one of the most polished and memorable island experiences you can have in Phuket. The "Luxury Small Group Sunrise Phi Phi Island and Maya Bay boat trip" feels carefully designed from start to finish, with every detail handled before the crowds arrive, so the day begins in calm, comfort, and style. The breakfast at the SOHO Club is a lovely way to start the morning at 6 am, and the hospitality only gets better from there. On board, the food and drinks are well thought out, and the final buffet lunch at the beach club is a fitting finish, with good vegetarian options as well. What sets this trip apart is the attention to guests. With no boat carrying more than 18 people, the experience never feels crowded or rushed, and there is a real sense that everyone is being looked after individually. That extra care makes a huge difference, especially on a premium trip like this. A special mention to our guide Noi Noi, whose witty commentary, deep knowledge, and genuinely personal attention made the journey even better. He had a wonderful way of making everyone feel included, and it was impressive to see first-time snorkelers, including guests who did not know how to swim, confidently enjoying the Phi Phi Don waters under his guidance. Our speedboat captain Dan Dan was amazing and how he guided through the choppy waters still keeping the boat steady and stable. Simba is a highly professional, luxury experience that is absolutely worth every penny.
Thank you so much for your incredibly detailed and thoughtful review. We are thrilled to hear that you found the experience polished, memorable, and worthy of being called a luxury adventure. Creating a comfortable, crowd-free experience at Phi Phi and Maya Bay is exactly what we strive for, so it is wonderful to know that everything from the early breakfast to the final beach club lunch exceeded your expectations. Your comments about our small-group approach mean a great deal to us. We believe that limiting guest numbers allows our team to provide the personal attention and care that make a day on the water truly special, and we're delighted that this stood out during your trip. Noi Noi will be absolutely delighted to read your kind words. His knowledge, humour, and genuine passion for sharing these beautiful islands are qualities that our guests often remember long after the tour ends. We are also grateful for your recognition of Dan Dan's exceptional boat-handling skills. Navigating changing sea conditions while ensuring guests remain comfortable and safe is no small task, and your appreciation will mean a lot to him. Thank you again for choosing Simba Sea Trips and for recommending us so highly. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day in paradise in the future. Best regards, Andrea
Dear Simba Tours Team, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for another fantastic experience following my recent Sunrise Phi Phi & Maya Bay tour. I have been travelling with Simba Tours since 2013, back when the company was under its previous ownership. Over the years, I’ve experienced tours under both the original and current owners, and what continues to impress me is the consistency of the experience and the standards you maintain. A few things have always stood out to me: • Professionalism from start to finish • A genuine customer-first approach • A team that clearly cares about creating memorable experiences rather than simply moving tourists from one location to another On this particular trip, Noi and his crew were exceptional. Their energy, charisma, humour, and ability to engage with guests made the day even more enjoyable. What impressed me most was the care shown towards guests who were nervous about the sea or snorkelling. I watched Noi personally enter the water with guests to help them overcome their anxieties and ensure they felt safe and comfortable. That level of care is rare and speaks volumes about the culture of your company. From time to time, I hear people comment that Simba Tours is more expensive than some other operators. Having travelled with many tour companies over the years, my response is always the same: there is a reason for the difference. With Simba, you are paying for professionalism, safety, organisation, quality, and an experience where guests genuinely matter. You’re not simply another number on a crowded boat. The attention to detail and customer care consistently justify the premium. After more than a decade of travelling with Simba Tours, it’s wonderful to see that the values that made me choose you in the first place are still very much alive today. Please pass my thanks on to Noi and the entire crew. They did a fantastic job and made what was already a beautiful day even more memorable.
Wow, where do we begin? Reading your review truly means the world to us. The fact that you have been travelling with Simba Tours since 2013 and have continued to choose us throughout the years is something both Paul and I are incredibly grateful for. One of the things that touched us most was hearing that, after all these years, you feel the experience has remained consistent while continuing to improve. We are always looking for ways to make our tours even better, so knowing that our efforts are being noticed by someone who has experienced Simba through different chapters of its history is especially meaningful. Your comments about professionalism, customer care, and creating memorable experiences perfectly capture what we strive for every day. We never want our guests to feel like just another number, and it is wonderful to hear that this commitment continues to shine through. Noi will be absolutely delighted to read your kind words. He and the crew genuinely love what they do, and the care you witnessed him showing to nervous swimmers and snorkellers is exactly the sort of personal attention that makes him such a valued member of our team. We will be sure to pass along your thanks. Thank you also for highlighting the value behind the Simba experience. We understand that there are many tour options available, and hearing a long-time guest explain why they continue to choose us is incredibly rewarding for our entire team. Thank you for your loyalty, your support, and for being part of the Simba family for more than a decade. Guests like you are the reason we continue striving to raise the bar year after year. We look forward to welcoming you back onboard for many more adventures in the years ahead. With our sincere thanks, Best regards, Andrea & Paul
They do say up to 10 people but we had 21 including 3 staff. The ride on the boat was very bumpy i was expecting something a little more up market for the cost. The staff were great and could not do enough for you ,one of the staff even went in the water and helped one of the guests to snorkel.All in all the day was great
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you had a great day overall and that our crew made such a positive impression. Providing attentive service is something we take great pride in, and we're especially pleased that our team was able to help make your snorkeling experience enjoyable and comfortable. We appreciate your comments regarding the number of guests on board and the boat ride. To clarify, our tours are advertised with a maximum of 18 guests, and while our vessel is fully licensed to accommodate up to 26 guests plus 3 crew members, we strive to operate within our advertised guest limits to ensure a comfortable experience for everyone. Sea conditions can sometimes make the journey bumpier than expected, and we're sorry that this affected your enjoyment of the ride. Thank you again for your kind words about our staff and for choosing to spend the day with us. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Best regards, Andrea
This was an absolutely amazing trip. Noi is a wonderful guide and engaged us all the entire time and took us to better snorkeling spots. Lunch was good if simple. Jumping off the top of the boat was fun. One caveat is sit on the left side of the boat on the way out if you want to see the sunset. The right side behind the captain was blocked from view the entire trip.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear you had such an amazing trip with us. Noi will be very happy to know he helped make the experience memorable and that you enjoyed the snorkeling spots, the boat jumping, and the overall atmosphere of the day. Thank you again for choosing Simba Sea Trips and for recommending us so highly. Best wishes, Andrea
Amazing sceneries, snorkelling and swimming in turquoise lagoons make this experience unforgettable. Add delicious food, friendly staff- what else do you need for a perfect day?
Dear Natalia, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear that the beautiful scenery, snorkelling, swimming in the turquoise lagoons, and delicious food made your experience unforgettable. It’s also wonderful to know that our friendly staff helped make your day even more special. Your kind words mean a lot to our whole team. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back again for another perfect day in paradise! Best regards, Andrea
The tour was great and the captain and crew were very helpful. The seas were a little rough but they warned us made accommodation to make us feel comfortable and welcome to this amazing landscape
Dear Susan_H, Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed the tour and that our captain and crew helped make the experience comfortable and enjoyable, even with the rougher sea conditions. Safety and guest comfort are always a top priority for us, so it’s wonderful to know the team’s communication and care helped you relax and enjoy the incredible scenery around you. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Best wishes, Andrea
When planning a trip halfway around the world, there are bound to be hits and misses. This was a HIT — and it’s not to be missed! The entire experience was professional and fun, and so well thought out. All of the little touches — snacks and drinks on arrival and well-paced throughout the day, even the provision of cold cloths, shower rinses, pool noodles, snorkel gear, taking photos for you, help on and off the boat — were perfect. The Simba team (Momo and the two captains) were a delight, fun, and helpful. Then there’s the scenery and experience itself. The water really IS that blue/green! The snorkeling was amazing — we saw many varieties of fish, coral, even a baby shark. Went to Maya Bay first (The Beach movie), then to two different islands to snorkel. Made a short stop at Monkey Island and managed to see one monkey. Then we headed to Coconut Island, a little paradise, where we spent an hour on the beach, sitting in the beach chairs, toes in the exquisitely soft sand. Then it was back to shore for a delicious Thai lunch at our starting point (a beach club at the marina). After lunch (and experiencing one of those famous Thai downpours at the end!), we were shuttled back to our hotel. White-glove service top to bottom. Yes, the 5am pickup time is early, but it was so worth it to pay a bit more for this luxury excursion with just about 18 people, and beat the crowds. Another nice touch we appreciated: one of our snorkeling stops had some trash and debris floating in the water (plastic bottles, things like that). We appreciated seeing Momo collect the trash she could in net bags they keep on board for that purpose. So: A resounding YES! If you can spring for this, do it. It’s such a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list experience that we’re glad to add to our travel journal.
Dear Kristi_R, Thank you so much for this incredible review. Reading your detailed experience truly means the world to our entire team. We are delighted to hear that your trip with Simba was such a memorable highlight of your travels. From the early start to beating the crowds at Maya Bay, snorkeling in those crystal-clear waters, relaxing at Coconut Island, and enjoying the little touches throughout the day — it is wonderful to know every part of the experience helped make your adventure special. Momo and the team will be especially happy to hear your kind words. They work very hard to create a fun, comfortable, and seamless experience for every guest, and your recognition of their care, energy, and attention to detail is greatly appreciated. We also appreciate you noticing the team’s efforts to help keep the islands and ocean clean — protecting this beautiful environment is something we care deeply about. Thank you again for choosing Simba and for recommending us so enthusiastically. We are honored to have been part of your once-in-a-lifetime Phuket experience and hope to welcome you back again one day. Best wishes, Andrea
It was great. Sara and her team were fantastic. Everything from pick up, to the meals and snacks and the actual experience was perfect. Thank you.
Dear Melissa, Thanks so much for your fantastic review! We are so pleased to hear that Sara and the team were fantastic. Thanks so much for choosing Simba and we hope to see you again! Best wishes, Andrea
