The whole experience was wonderful and the crew was friendly, helpful and very enthusiastic. The food provided was delicious too.

My wife and I booked this as a last minute excursion. I have to say, beating the crowds is a must when going to phi phi islands. Let me start by saying the speed boat was very comfortable. We got lucky and sat in the front next to the captain! The seas were rough that morning but the captain did a great job. The sunrise was beautiful. They stop for about two minutes for people to take pics. First stop, bamboo island for breakfast. We were the first ones there and it is just amazing. Off to Viking caves and maya bay. You get to swim in the bay. They take you around several of the islands with some stops to snorkel and swim or just relax. Our guide “woody” was great and very informative. Great first class tour. Highly recommend! Read Less

What a fantastic experience creating some memories for life. The team at Simba are so friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Safety, conservation and ensuring you have a memorable time are their priorities and it was a pleasure to spend her day with them. Although an early start you really do beat the crowds. When you land on Bamboo beach there is quite literally no one else there. Stunning! The food was delicious and plentiful. With actually two breakfasts and lunch and an endless supply of cold free drinks. I was particularly impressed with the boats. Most of the fast boats you see pack everyone in with no windows so you have to stand and peer over the top for a limited view, with the Simba boats they are open sided and with a max of 18 guest, comfortable uncrowded and giving you great views. The snorkelling was as good as I’ve experienced (and we’ve done the barrier reef and Jon Penenkamp) with an incredible amount of fish, coral and underwear life and the guides help you to make the most seeing them no matter what your snorkelling ability. Would thoroughly recommend Simba sea trips I posted pics so you can see the destinations for yourself. Read Less

SIMBA tours was an excellent choice for us to visit Phi Phi Islands at sunrise. They were on time at the hotel for pick up. Yuki gave a great briefing of the day. We got started at 6am and we're at our first island for breakfast just after 7. We roamed the island and a wonderful breakfast was served. We stopped at the Viking cave then a lagoon to swim at. Then we headed to the lagoon where The Beach was filmed. BEAUTIFUL!! Then off to see the monkeys on the cliffs swimming., And another place to snorkel. The day ended with a stop at Ranga Island where we were served a fantastic lunch. The entire staff was terrific. I I would highly recommend to anyone Read Less

We went on the morning tour and our tour guide was Jane on boat 7. The tour was awesome, We only had about 10 people on the tour so we weren’t jam packed on the boat. We stopped at beautiful places and the first beach was my Favorite (bamboo island). Our tour guide and the two gentlemen on the boat with us were awesome. They seemed to really care about the customers. There was a guy on our tour who couldn’t swim and seemed uneasy on the trip, Jane took him in the water when we stopped to snorkel and swam around with him so he could also have a snorkel experience. He kept saying how amazing snorkeling was when he got back on the boat, I could tell he really appreciated Jane going above and beyond. 10/10 would recommend! Read Less

An early start to the morning means getting to some islands before anyone else. Good breakfast, snorkeling, and even the lunch was great. Highly recommend them for the day seeing all of the Phi Phi islands.

A highlight of my whole holiday. We originally were supposed to do the sunrise tour but I fell sick the night before and they very kindly answered our email after business hours (6pm) and let us switch to a few days later (we were very thankful). The tour was amazing, we loved going into the cave and the canoes as well as the beaches and views (we even saw a dolphin). There was a lot more to do rather then just sitting on a beach which my partner and I liked. Compared to other boats we only had 13 people on ours which was wonderful as you could walk around and wasn’t crowed The staff were lovely and couldn’t have been nicer. They took photos of us if we wanted and answered any questions and provided medical assistance when someone fell over. The food was wonderful wow! So much food! Morning tea (rice paper rolls), fruit and cake, lunch, more fruit and chocolate and drinks throughout. Was the best trip and wished we had more time to do another. Read Less

Picked this tour company from a recommendation from a friend of a friend. Little did I expect the amazing experience we had! Harry and his crew were so much fun and very informative about the history of the area. We learned lots of fun facts. Also, they kept us very hydrated and constantly feed us so that’s always a plus. They offered free WiFi on the boat as well ass dry bags for cameras. Everything was including except for sunblock! They even provided sea sickness pills prior to boarding the trip. My husband and I can’t say enough good things about this tour. We highly, HIGHLY recommend. Read Less

Perfect organized. Pick up at hotel on schedule, good and save driver, small group. Nice and clean speedboat. Moh, our guide was helpfull, sympathic and professional. The food was very good. Simba starts very early but the result is that we were the first avoiding the crowds. Simba is a bit more expensive but in my opinion, worth it. The prove: I was very pleased and so I booked for the next day the James Bond and beyond trip having seen Maya Bay and the Phi Island tour. Read Less

As a disabled traveller I was reluctant to go because of concerns for getting on and off the speedboat and toilet facilities. These were not problematic at all. The boat was indeed very easy to access. The toilet would have been a little trickier but wasn't a problem after all. I was able to see everything before getting on. I was so glad that I went. The ride was great, the service super. I didn't want to get off the boat at the various stops so food and drink were brought to me onto the boat. Very caring staff. The phi island sights and sounds on this trip were a great experience. Seeing monkeys swimming near our speedboat and all the fishes in crystal clear waters. Brilliant day. Read Less

Nous avons passé une très belle journée d’excursion avec Simba. Le service est irréprochable et très bien ficelé : une navette vient vous chercher à l’hôtel, vous êtes reçus à la marina avec un petit déjeuner et un petit briefing de votre journée. Ensuite direction le bateau ni trop petit ni trop grand mais puissant avec peu de clients à la fois c’est l’avantage. L’intérêt de passer par Simba c’est que certes vous vous levez tôt mais vous arrivez également les premiers sur les sites ce qui est très avantageux quand on voit le nombre de touristes dans ces îles. La visite de l’île de James Bond était vraiment très belle et nous étions les premiers , nous avons pu faire de très jolies photos . le kayak était très sympa car en plus des gens pagayaient pour vous c’est vraiment les vacances. Ensuite la visite de la grotte et de la mangrove étaient une belle surprise là aussi nous étions les seuls sur le site. Le déjeuner à khao ya noi était sympa car nous avons une très belle vue sur la mer et les rochers mais par contre les plats étaient un peu trop Light certainement pour faire plaisir aux occidentaux. Juste une petite déception pour la dernière ile , nous devions être seuls au monde ce qui n’ était pas le cas bien que ce n’était pas non plus surchargé. Le personnel était vraiment au top et très bien organisé avec des fruits frais et des boissons tout le long de la journée à disposition. Donc à recommander sans aucun souci pour l’organisation et les excursions le seul bémol est le prix car cela monte vite lorsqu’on est une famille avec deux enfants. Malgré tout je recommande à 100 % cette compagnie Read Less

Without a doubt Simba Sea Trips are amazing. We went on the Phang Bay trip visiting the caves, sea canoeing, James Bond island and much more. The service is amazing, starting with the free hotel pick up, welcome drinks and breakfast at check in. The staff are so attentive, offering you everything you need, drinks and fresh food on the boat during the journey, photo opportunities at the best spots to name but a few. They make you feel privileged to be in such a wonder part of the world sharing new experiences!! It is breathtaking! A truly magical experience, don’t hesitate to book with them....we have!! Our second trip on the Phi Phi islands tour is already booked! And one important last point! They do have a toilet onboard unlike a lot of other boats! Read Less

This is the second trip we went on with Simba Sea trips. Noi did a great job as a guide and the crew was great. We saw the sun rise from the water. We were hoping to get some great snorkeling in. After the first one we asked if there would be snorkeling and Andrea responded, “For the Phi Phi trip there is totally different snorkelling and you will do it twice plus any additional times you want to put on the snorkel. It's quite a different trip and definitely worth seeing the two places.” We snorkeled twice during our phi island tour. The islands were nice. There were many, many speedboats. Lunch was on a island 10 minutes from the port. The itinerary was just as they stated on the web sight. Read Less

I went on the above tour yesterday from the moment I was picked up from the hotel until I was dropped back everything was amazing. You get confirmation emails detailing pick up times and they were there by that time - a quick breakfast at the simba sea trips office while we had a briefing on the day by the lovely Harry - There were only 14 people on our tour. We then went to the boat and met the crew who really couldn’t do enough for you during the day. First stop James Bond Island we were the first boat there - Harry helped with taking photos for anyone that wanted them. By the time we got back breakfast had been laid out on the boat for us. Next on to Hong Island and kayaking, once again Harry and crew helped with photos, we then went to Mangrove caves - Harry was very informative on whatever area we went to. We then travelled to Kah Yoh Noi for an amazing lunch - again very professionally run- our final stop was an hour on Noc Island (sorry if this is spelt wrong) - a little paradise, where the crew brought fruit trays and drinks around to everyone. I was a solo traveller and didn’t feel on my own at all. Harry and the crew are a credit to Simba Sea Trips, polite, knowledgable, humorous and all came across just wanting the trip to be extra special for everyone onboard. I would urge anyone thinking of doing a trip with Simba Sea Trips to just book it - small group size, safety conscious, professional and just Amazing Read Less

This was without a doubt one the highlights of our holiday. We went on Simba 8 together with Patrick and his team who were fantastic throughout. We were 7 people total on the tour and were the last group to get to James Bond island and therefore avoided ALL other tourist groups. It was amazing - we had the place to ourselves. The rest of the cruise was also amazing and the crew did everything to keep us all happy. I would recommend this to anyone who want to go on bout tours in Phuket and avoid the masses of tourists.

First and foremost, if you are in Phuket and want to see Phi Phi Islands, book Simba Sea Trips! It was an early rise for this trip, but totally worth it. K’Noi and his crew were outstanding - cheerful, full of energy, and very informative. We were informed at all times where we were, what we were seeing, and what was up next. The food was actually pretty decent too (I highly recommend the banana loaf). You get to see/do so many beautiful things on this tour - the sunrise, a semi secluded beach, snorkelling with colourful fish (twice), monkeys, beautiful landscape and beaches (including the one from the movie The Beach). I can’t recommend this tour enough. We will likely do it again one day while we are living in Thailand! Thank you K’Noi, your team, and Simba Sea Trips! Read Less

Single mom of a 2 and 5 year old. Jane was our guide and she was brilliant with my kids. The rest of the staff were excellent as well. The snorkeling was beautiful. Only complaint was the water was really rough because of the passing by boats which made it really hard for my five year old to snorkel (and she has snorkeled a lot before) but the on board staff looked after them on the boat so I could snorkel. It was truly a wonderful trip. Read Less

A truly unforgettable experience. We went on 3 tours with Simba during our stay and I would highly recommend this company. These tours made our trip! I have reviewed all individually. Simba catered for all dietary requirements and were throughout the day reassuring me on what I could eat. We were picked up at 6am from our hotel in Phuket. We arrived at the Royal Phuket Marina and we could help ourselves to drinks and food. We then had a briefing of where we would be going during the day. The views are stunning as you are on the way, and you won’t be able to believe your eyes. Sea Canoeing was fun and a great experience. James bond island was stunning and getting to pose with the guns was a plus! Lunch at a beautiful Thai restaurant on the beach front was brilliant. Sitting out the front of the boat sunbathing with relaxing music was a perfect end to the day – we didn’t want it to end! Harry was just fantastic, always looking after us and very knowledgeable. Can’t thank him enough for such an amazing day. Believe the reviews, you will be one of the first to the tourist spots and just as we were about to leave, we saw a number of boats arriving. I have been on tours in the Philippines with a cramped boat and arriving at all the sight-seeing spots with many other boats. This experience was worlds apart and is 100% worth the extra cost.

Like many other travelers, I can tell you that Simba did not disappoint. You are reading a review about Phang Nga and Beyond. From the online booking through to the very end of the trip, it was first class the entire way. We were contacted the afternoon before our trip with a personal email indicating our pickup time. We arrived at the beautiful Royal Phuket Marina to find a great spread of coffee, tea, bread, yogurt, juice, water, etc for a snack before our guide, Harry, gave us a rundown of the day using a big dry erase board map. Then we boarded the boat quickly and within a minute were out to open sea. The captain and crew were great, Harry was genuine and we had a wonferdul time. Each member of the Simba team seemed to be above and beyond. We spent just enough time at each stop to take in the sights, get great photos, and then move along to avoid crowds. We arrived before the crowds and departed just as people were arriving. Never were there more than a handful of people at each stop - and I am writing about a day between Christmas and New Year where it is the ultra-high season in Phuket. Get up early and make the trip with Simba - you won't regret it. Read Less

I can’t begin to explain how good this tour was. Before we arrived in Thailand I researched plenty of different tour providers, a lot of them claiming to be the best. What made me book simba was the many amazing reviews. Which is why I had to post my own after my experience! We arrived at the tour reception area to breakfast snacks, tea coffee & water and a safety/brief on how our day was going to go. This is also where we met our tour guide Harry who from the start to the end was the most perfect guide. We left to go to the boat and made our way out of the marina. Every single stop we was one of the first boats there, meaning it was never over crowded. We got to see everything in its natural beauty without having to push our way through anywhere. It had been planned perfectly and Harry was always on hand to answer any questions and always had the best knowledge of everything that we saw around us. He also gave us plenty of tips on what to do at each stop. We got to kayak through caves, swim in a very private bay, take in James Bond island, and have lunch at a lovely Thai restaurant over looking Krabi. As much as the sights were beautiful & we felt like we were in a film for most of the trip, it wouldn’t of been the same without Harry and his crew. They rinsed our feet every time we got back in the boat/even rinsed us all over if we had been swimming in the sea. Harry offered us drinks and food at every moment he could, I don’t think I’ve ever had a tour guide as attentive as him. Thank you all for your kindness, we wish we could do it all over again & when we come back to Thailand we will definitely be coming back to simba. Read Less

We had a wonderful time on our Simba Sea Tour which was the perfect end to our Thai vacation! The tour was small which was really nice and we were the first ones to Phang Nga Bay which can see several thousand tourists a day during high season. Our lunch stop was delicious and our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable about each of our stops. The boat was beautiful and had plenty of room for us to spread out and was stocked with snacks and drinks for the duration of our tour. Our guide was also great at making sure that each group got some really nice photos which was especially nice for my husband and I as we often forget to take photos of ourselves. Simba Sea Tours was recommended to me by a friend who did several tours with them earlier this year and we were not disappointed! Read Less

I could give this 6 stars if it were possible, it was that good. Waking up at 4am was hard but I am sure nothing else beat the energy that early mornings bring. The waiting lounge was neat and clean. The boat was well stocked and very neat. The boat ride started sharp at 6am after an overview given by the super energetic and very lovely lady, Momo. She gave us a bird's eye idea of what to expect. Being the first to reach a couple of Islands was awesome, as you have the white sandy beaches all to yourself. Food (Breakfast, Snack, Lunch) were all amazing and tasted fresh. Beauty of the islands is hard to describe and you have to see it to feel it. Special mention for the Simba team, Momo, Nut, San and the driver, all 4 of them are superb and their happiness about the job makes others feel good throughout the trip. Momo and Nut are great photographers, and special mention to Momo, who wouldn't settle for a less than amazing (sexy) picture of you. Also because they limit the boat to only 16 passengers, it gives them time to personally care for everyone. They helped my non-swimmer wife learn some basics and also let her snorkel around to watch some colorful fish. I'd strongly advise SimbaSea tours to retain this team no matter what, as they are the ones who made this trip memorable by being super lovely. Read Less

This is one of the best excursions we have ever done! I normally don’t take the time to review, but have to get the word out on this tour. There are so many companies to choose from and it’s hard to know which are legit. The staff is so friendly and waking up at 4 a.m. to see the sunrise and beat the crowds to the Phi Phi Islands is worth it! I would use this company again and the views on this tour are unreal. Swimming in the lagoon was the highlight. We saw a puffer fish and small sharks. Don’t worry, these sharks don’t bite Read Less

Ok. Got your attention. Book with Simba and get a top rate experience. Woody and his crew explained very clearly all that would happen. The trip was a little rough going across to the first stop so if you are a novice boater, take the seasickness pill they offer. For the experienced speed boat nut, the ride up front and in the back( you will get wet a little) are a hoot. Snorkeling was a blast. We left the pier at 7:00 am after be picked up at our hotel at 4:50 am. We saw the glorious sunrise out on the water. These guys were super friendly and accommodating to our every need. Highly recommended and will book again. Only about $300 for a seven hour trip. Great bargain. Read Less

Our experience was quite similar to Dominic M's “Read before choosing your boat tour” with a few differences in that the later stops (e.g Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon) were very crowded by the time we got there. The key positives for us were: - The sunrise was spectacular and worth the early start. We were given plenty of opportunities to take photos (thanks to the smaller group); - It was great to be the first boat to arrive on Bamboo Island and the only boat at our 1st snorkelling spot; - The crew did a great job looking after us, plenty of fresh food and cold drinks; - While the reefs we snorkelled over were not as great as the Great Barrier Reef, the fish life at our 2nd stop was plentiful. Overall - a very good day and we have no hesitations in recommending this tour. Dear Jonesytaos, Many thanks for selecting Simba and for taking the time to review us. We are always happy to hear from our guests about both the good and the bad points. It seems the order of events on the day of your tour was changed up due to tide restrictions at Phileh Bay. It is very shallow with rocks at the entrance to the lagoon and is not suitable for speedboats at some tidal lows. This happens occasionally, and the upside to this is that we snorkel earlier in the day, so our guests can snorkel at spots where no-one else has yet arrived, as was the case on your tour. The Phi Phi National marine park has thousands of visitors each day so avoiding other travellers altogether is impossible. Simba's early departures from Phuket are the only way to experience the park before it fills up to much larger crowds later in the day. Our guest often comment on how busy the park is becoming generally while we have finished our time there and are heading off to lunch at a quiet island outside of the busy park area. I'm very glad you enjoyed your day out with us, and we'd be delighted to take you out on some of our other tours to Phang Nga Bay which are generally less crowded than the Phi Phi Islands, if you are able to return to Phuket. Thanks Again! Regards, Simba Team Read Less

Simba Sea knows how to do it! Smaller group tours, they arrive at islands earlier then other boat tours to avoid crowds, they are organized and timely, they are extremely safe and very accommodating, and their tour guides are the best! It was a perfect adventure for our honeymoon. We actually ended up doing 2 boat tours with them, one for Phi Phi and one for James Bond. We had Yu-E (sorry if I misspelled her name) she was just the sweetest as they come and was wonderful and we had Harry for our other boat tour, he was hysterical and very organized.

We did the Sunrise tour. It was a great experience The crew was very friendly. We enjoyed all aspects on the day. A small snack is provided when you first get to the office and a more substantial breakfast upon your first stop. They also had beverages, soda and water available on the boat. The tour was just the right size. We saw other tours that had way more people and couldn’t imagine dealing with that. Lunch was also included on one of the islands (forgot the name). It was the final stop for beach time and lunch before returning to the office. I would recommend to others. Read Less

My 2 friends and I booked Simba Sea Trips after reading reviews. We had heard they were the best but didn’t know just how good they were till we got there. Not only did they provide on time transportation to and from our hotel (30 mins away from the marina) but they also drove us back after! They provide plenty of snacks and food throughout the day (2 meals) and had amazing hosts. The tours were both informative and amazing. Plenty of activities to do, they provided us with beach mats and snorkeling gear. They really went above and beyond with service through the trip. Absolutely amazing and highly highly recommended!

After much time and research spent on TripAdvisor, I came across Simba. I selected Simba because of the excellent reviews provided. I agree with them all and can confirm this is a quality tour operator deserving of the costs. Momo, the crew, the customer service, constant attention to each passenger, attitude, FOOD, and tour were exceptional! The only part of the tour that I didn’t think was a valuable use of time was when we stopped on Railay beach. We walked around a bit to see a cave full of penises, but there wasn’t time to do much more. It just wasn’t that interesting and I would have rather spent it on the beach and in the water. Overall, it was exceptional, so I’m keeping the high rating. We also really liked the bag they let us use to protect our items from water damage. We ending up buying one to use in our travels. Thank you Momo!!! Read Less

The sunrise was absolutely beautiful! It was so worth it to get up early. Jane was super nice and offered to take pictures for everyone! Jane and her crew were very organized and friendly. I was the only one aboard who couldn't swim and Jane tought me some basic moves with the noodle and I was able to remove my lifejacket and just use the noodle. She took me separately from the group and we snorkeled for 30 mins! It was kind of her to help me have the same experience as everyone else. I'm really grateful for her! She gave me confidence in the water, so much the I jumped off the boat with a life jacket! Her and her crew offered us beverages and snacks, they provided breakfast and lunch.

I was completely satisfied by the sunset tour of Phang Nga Bay with Simba Sea Trip, a cruise operator based in Phuket. The tour went beyond my expectations. I was able to see all the sights on my list, from Koh Panyee to Koh Phing Kan of James Bond's fame.

It was truly and enjoyable and productive experience. I unreservedly recommend both tour and operator. Read Less

I know its a big call, but you will never be disappointed with Simba Tours and Krabi Classic was amazing. Early start but the Sunrise was outstanding. Small group from different countries and all delightfully young. Amazing travel stories throughout the day. Lots of Island Hopping, swimming, snorkelling, walking, unreal photos, great lunch and swim at Centara Resort. (Just leave me there). Tour guides informative and helpful and funny. The scenery overall must be seen to be believed. Relaxing day and so enjoyable. Cool drinks, fruit, banana cake on boat. Lunch...yummy. Early arrival at each place, therefore less people.

Everything they advertised was delivered. Unfortunately, Simba was fuly booked for the all-day trip, and the "next-best" company was not even close.

We have undertaken many boating tours around the world and this was one of the best tours we've ever taken! Momo, our cheerful guide and the crew Mr N and Mr Poh were amazing. The 5 am pickup time was more than worth it to see the sunrise out on the sea. After an hour boat ride, we went afoot Bamboo Island and enjoyed a swim and walk along the beach without a crowd. This was where "The Beach" was filmed not one of Danny Boyles films best but a cracking start to the day. Also a delicious breakfast of spring rolls and fresh fruit. We then jumped off the boat at Pileh Bay an emerald green lagoon, on to Maya bay (National Park) and snorkelled at Viking Cave and snorkelled again at Nui Beach. Finally, we ended the trip in the best way possible at Koh Rang Yai Island, where we feasted on so much food and had a couple of beers. We had the best time and will have so many amazing memories.

It's hard not to enjoy the beautiful area, but Simba made it even more enjoyable with its attentive and thoughtful service. The crew (Patrick and co.) are very friendly and make sure you're having a good time. They adjust the itinerary according to weather and tide conditions to make sure you get to see everything on the agenda. They serve snacks (fruit, banana cake, and late afternoon chocolate) and drinks (water or soda) on board.

Absolutely stunning!!! The noodles they have are perfect and better than a huge life jacket. And cute too 🙂 also, the tours start super early, but soooo worth it.

I did this trip solo and still had an amazing time. My friend wanted to scuba dive and I wanted a bit more exploration, so we split up. I can't say enough good things about the experience. We had a small, intimate group, which I loved. Even though the beginning of the trip was rainy, every location was beautiful. Our guide was friendly and helpful. He made sure all of us got amazing pictures. Somehow we made it to every site before the massive crowds took over. This tour is more expensive by Thai standards but by American standards the value for the money makes this a cheap trip. It was a luxurious adventure. If I make it back to Thailand, I would make it a point to tour with Simba Sea Trips again. Pro tip: Wear water shoes. It makes the caves much easier. Read Less

Choose Simba Sea Trips for the early departure tour and had the most amazing time. Professionalisms from beginning to end. You have to wake up early but it is worth it. Had an on-time pick up at 0450 and after a few quick stops to pick up other guests we arrived promptly at the beautiful Phuket Royal Marina. Formalities out of the way, we helped ourselves to a light breakfast followed by a short but informative briefing about the day. The weather was beautiful and we got to see the sunrise as we made our way to bamboo island. After a 50 minute ride we beached, had a stroll, took some pictures and a another nice breakfast was served. Our trip continued to various spots and the final island before going back to Phuket was for lunch. The food was plentiful and delicious. Overall it was a perfect day. The crew were amazing and our guide was funny, helpful and informative. Thanks to them our day went by without any hiccups. What I believe separates Simba from other operators is their effort in personalizing their service. The boat is not overcrowded and we beat the crowd at every stop. This is important and I appreciated that even more when we saw boats arriving with people cramped inside. One stop in particular-monkey island, I witnessed people struggling to get a picture as they made their way to the side of their boat with people already taken a spot. Ours, well nice, easy and no rush. I read a lot of reviews before choosing Simba and I choose to pay more (not that much more than other operators) because I understood what they are trying to do. Well done to Simba sea trips team for raising the bar on quality and providing their guests with a memorable experience. A lot of effort goes into preparing for this day and staff are up at very early hours but still have a smile on their faces. By choosing this team you are ensuring your experience will be worth the money you pay. Don’t blame the weather, don’t blame other operators for your experience and then write it here. Judge every service provider fairly and objectively and compare yours with that of others. Read Less

What a fabulous day!! The trip may be more expensive than their competitors but let me say... it's worth every single penny. Momo and her team are fantastic and make everyone feel very welcome and engaged. I must say st this point that it was a far smaller group on board than many of the other boats that we saw.. but a plus point. It was a very early start..but again.. it was worth it as we were the first boat and first people to set foot on Bamboo island were we also had a delicious brekky on the beach. Every stop at every island we were the first..so you really got to see the real beauty before the hourds started to appear. Mono is a really good snorkeller too so that may every snorkel fantastic... she led you to where you can see the best bits... like reef sharks!!! Just brilliant. Unfortunately much of the actual coral us dead.. but the fish life is still there. Lunch was an unexpected treat of a large sit down affair on an island under the trees on yet another gorgeous Sandy island. Overall a great day. Thank you Mono!! Read Less

This was probably the best organised day trip I have ever been on. It is significantly more expensive than a trip you could organise with the locals on the street but 100% worth the extra cost. The boat was spacious, not shoulder to shoulder with others, the food was outstanding, rice paper rolls, fruit, banana bread, snacks, soft drinks and then a sit down Thai lunch on an island (kids had burgers which were great, adults Thai curries etc). The kayaking was a highlight, the trip was so well organised, every small detail thought of, plus they take photos of you all day and email. Just spend the extra money, you won't regret it!

Our family of five did a private boat day trip with Simba on one of their 36 foot boats. The boat was clean and in great condition. Khun Harry, Khun Daeng and Khun Toon took amazing care of us and pampered along the way. We started our tour at noon and first visited those sites and beaches without tourist. After 3pm we then visited the tourist spots to find them all without tourist. The masses had already retuned and we thus had those amazing caves and lagunas to ourselves. Harry, our tour guide spoke very good English and he knew a lot about the nature and history of each place.

Do not hesitate to book Phi Phi island Sunrise tour with Simba. Yes it is a very early morning start, yes it is probably the most expensive tour, but its really worth it! The crew is so professional, helpful and they really looking after you the whole day, while also making sure that you enjoy the day and have the chance to take pictures to remember! There is no rush the whole day, everything goes so smooth and there is enough time given at each stop.
