Wir machten mit Simba die Phi Phi Island Tour und es war paradiesisch. Früh morgens starteten wir vor allen anderen Touristentouren und waren der großen Masse immer vorsus...Frühstück im Paradies,..traumhafte Orte und Schnorchelstopps, Mittagessen am Strand .....eine unglaublich tolle, lustige Crew...nur 18 Personen an Board...es war einfach fantastisch- etwas teurer, aber jeden Baht wert. Mein Tipp: rechtzeitig buchen und unbedingt mit Simba touren-es lohnt sich. James Bond Island machten wir mit anderem Anbieter, da Simba ausgebucht-kein Vergleich...nur Touristenrummel 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 5am 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. We were out on the boat for Sunrise and we had a stop for pictures. The early get up was worth it for this stunning view. Next we arrived at bamboo island to have breakfast and we were the only tourists there, so peaceful (Banana bread is so good). We did a few snorkelling stops and the waters were very clear, we saw lots of fish. The stops throughout the day are well thought out and so beautiful! To end the day, we stopped at another beach to have a fantastic lunch!
Believe the reviews, you will be one of the first to arrive at the tourist spots and just as we were leaving, 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. It is such a personal experience and we were fortunate to have such lovely people join us on our tours. The crew are on hand to take pictures whenever needed and even took my go pro down to film Nemo fish in the coral. Soft drinks are offered all day and plenty of food to keep you going. Jane made sure we were all ok throughout the day. All round a perfect day, thank you Simba. Read Less

Our guide Yui was excellent - she was very knowledgable, friendly and very accommodating. The crew was equally excellent and hospitable throughout the tour. Having a small group and starting before sunrise made all the difference in order to avoid the crowds and we also caught a breathtaking sunrise first thing. The rock formations were awe-inspiring and the food and beverages served throughout was a nice touch. A very well organised tour - probably one of the best we've ever been on. What a great tour company - no wonder they're so highly rated! Read Less

Simba Sea Trips was a fabulous tour!
We got picked up on time from our hotel.
As soon as we arrived at the office, breakfast and briefing was provided.
Then Woody and his crew took out for the island tours.
It was a fantastic day. The boat was modern, clean and comfortable.
We have 15 people on boat and never feel crowded.
The crews were attentive and friendly and made sure all of us are having a great time!
Def will use them again if we return to Phuket! 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

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!
Phi Phi Island Tour – What to expect
Our tour of the Phi Phi Islands is one of our most famous sightseeing tours and it is beloved by a lot of our guests. Simba Sea Trips have provided hundreds of people with the ability to discover the islands of Phi Phi in a relaxing manner that spans the entire day and is jam packed with amazing activities. The Phi Phi Island Tour is your gateway to blue horizons and unforgettable scenery. Take the boat trip of a lifetime by booking your seat for a magical adventure today!
Duration: approximately 7-8 hours on the water.
Please note: We cannot guarantee you will see the Sunrise on each trip and the timings for sunrises do vary. Also, cloudy days can make it difficult to see the sunrise.
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.
Stop 4
Experience the Phi Phi Islands from underwater - 1st Snorkeling Stop
Experience the Phi Phi Islands from underwater - 1st Snorkeling Stop
It is now time to explore the magical underwater world of Phi Phi Islands 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 speedboat) 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 sometimes visited by Dolphins and Reef Sharks often frequent our snorkeling stops. If you're lucky we may see these on the Phi Phi boat tour!
Stop 5
Phi Phi Islands have their secrets - Macaque Monkeys and the Viking Cave
During the speedboat 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 favourite moments of our tours!
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!
Stop 6
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. Or we can have an extended swim and relax on the beach. We are flexible with our speedboat tour itinerary to ensure that our Thailand guests have the best day possible.
Stop 7
Phi Phi Islands at their best - Koh Rang Yai
Our penultimate stop of the Phi Phi islands for some swimming and relaxation at an idyllic tropical island named Rang Yai. A well-kept secret you'll not want to leave! During the Phi Phi tour you will have the chance to see many glorious places, but make no mistake this amazing island is one of the best. The perfect way to build up your appetite for the final stop.
Stop 8
A taste of the Phi Phi Islands - Lunch time
Lunch at a seaside restaurant with all the flavours of the islands. Many have enjoyed the scrumptious family style lunch. Because Simba leaves early in the morning you’ll reach this beautiful beachside restaurant well before the crowds. The Phi Phi island boat tours enhance your culinary palette thanks to the unique island’s cuisine. Here, Thai Cooking takes its place front and centre. The meal is provided in one of the most beautiful island settings imaginable and will provide all the nourishment you need after a long day undertaking sea activities.
The Simba Phi Phi Speedboat Tours Include...
Simba Sea Trips has been in the tour travel industry for many years now and has helped Phuket visitors experience the magic and allure of the Phi Phi islands. This is our main aim. As our tours conclude, the smiles on the faces of our guests are what makes us revel in what we do for a living. We hope you get to experience the same happiness by joining one of our next day trip tours.
First you have to choose if you want to get there with a speedboat or a ferry.
Both options are good with the ferry being what most people choose to get to Phi Phi from Phuket.
You can catch a ferry from Phuket and get to Phi Phi in about two hours.
If you decide to take a ferry from Koh Lanta or Krabi you will get there in around 90 minutes.
For speedboad you will need to get in Phuket Town as the main departure/arrival port is Rassada.
Tropical Bay that featured in the Leonardo DiCaprio movie "The Beach", was temporarily closed last year and the beach will remain closed until 2021 due to the environmental damage that the Maya Bay location has experienced due to excessive tourist numbers in recent years
Both of the Islands are worth visiting. Rather close to Phuket and Krabi but in opposite directions
with tours being fairly cheaper from Krabi compared to Phuket. You will find James Bond Island north of Ao Po pier and Phi Phi Island can be found to the south.
Within walking distance to almost everything you will need in Koh Phi Phi Don island you can enjoy your
vacations and feel safe. This inhabited Island is motorbike and car-free and most of the people there are
enjoying walking and cycling in peace and in the fresh air.
