Tour Overview
Tour the beautiful islands surrounding Phuket
*Update on Maya Bay restrictions – please note Thai National park authorities have prohibited speedboats from dropping anchors or alighting their passengers within Maya Bay indefinitely, therefore assisting with environmental regeneration of the Phi Phi Island location.
Simba’s Phi Phi sunrise tour involves an early start. Firstly, our Phi Phi island tour from Phuket leaves from the Royal Marina at 6am and arrives back by 2-2.30pm to avoid the crowds. This is AT LEAST 2 hours before most other companies start their Phuket boat tours to the Phi Phi islands. Keep in mind that over 10,000 visitors flock to Phi Phi every day in the high season. That’s a lot of people to share these small islands with! But not with our spacious speedboats! Enjoy a head start to your tour that will mean you won’t have to deal with the crowds.
To ensure the greatest experience possible, our Phi Phi island tour is very flexible. We juggle many variables (weather, tides, currents) to ensure you have the best experience possible. This may mean the omission of certain locations, but never at the expense of your enjoyment. Other companies may promise the world, but we and our tour guide staff deliver the ultimate Phi Phi experience!

Stop 1
Tours demand relaxation time - Bamboo Beach
On your way to Phi Phi Islands, visit the popular, idyllic and secluded Bamboo beach. Be the first to step foot off the boat and onto the beautiful sand on this sightseeing tour. We serve a yummy breakfast and swim for about 30 minutes, relax and take in the sights. Take your time to enjoy the island’s beauty at one of the most stunning beaches in the world.
Stop 2
The Phi Phi Island 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 wonderful 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 of the islands merging with the caves and the blue clear horizon as the speedboat coasts into the Lagoon.
Stop 3
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 has now prohibited 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, we are still able to drive the speedboat well inside the bay for some spectacular views and photo opportunities during the day trip.
Accordingly, this has little impact on the quality of this tour, as it is a tiny part of a 380Sq/km National Park. Every way you look, you see the magnificent natural beauty of Phi Phi Island's Maya Bay.
