While the islands are picturesque, being stuck on a slow, crowded tourist boat can spoil the experience. On this tour, take a small speedboat to see the well-known sites and secluded spots where you can take in the islands’ natural beauty.

This was a terrific experience. Noi, our tour guide, was extremely attentive, funny and helpful. He even took my arm while snorkeling and swam me to see a baby shark. It was a small group, the boat was great. The other 2 guides, I'm sorry I forgot their names, were great as well. We saw so many beautiful places. Thank you!

A truely 5 Star Experience!

xkfxnn6bdj, Oct 2023

D and the Simba crew made this an incredible experience. As a solo traveler (and having booked quite last min) I was little unsure, but any concerns were allayed as soon as the tour started. The crew were vibes - they brought the energy, banter and were professional. The attention to detail throughout the day was noticed, with the pacing perfect, the reg snacks on board, and overall itinerary on point. The smaller group, and earlier start really does make a difference in making it a memorable day. Can’t recommend this more!

The best tour available for Phi Phi

Abdulrahman_A, Sept 2023

The team was great. This tour starts early and head to places before many others. The boat is also good. If you want to do the Phi Phi island tour, this is definitely the best tour I would recommend.

Our memorable Phi Phi island tour.

Jon_M, Aug 2023

An unforgettable day. Getting up early is worth it. Everything very well organized and punctual. The people in charge of the excursion who accompanied us on the boat were very nice and cared about us at all times. Everything very well explained and just as it was programmed. Very rich breakfast on the island of Bamboo, snorkeling below. Visit Maya Beach, Pileh Bay, snorkel again, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach, Ko Rang Yai and to end a very tasty meal at Soho Pool Club. In summary, an unforgettable excursion, spectacular, highly recommended and worth its price. The boat is very comfortable with a bathroom included.

Absolutely Astonishing Experience

Jonathan_H, July 2023

5 star service

Vannah_P, July 2023

I'd HIGHLY recommend booking this trip with this company! Absolutely worth the early wake up call. From the start to the end you're taken care of by all the staff. They didn't drop you off at a gift store to try and get you to spend money while you wait. Instead they had drinks and snacks ready for you while all the passengers were picked up. Watching the sunrise while taking off on the speed boat was so beautiful and peaceful. Being a solo participant in tours can be difficult, but not with this company. They made sure you felt included and helped take photos as well as included you in conversations. Each stop was the perfect amount of time and we weren't overwhelmed by other groups. I'm also incredibly impressed by the skill and quality of the boat drivers, you never felt unsafe and was just in awe at the precision of their driving.

Response from Host, July 2023

We believe in creating a memorable journey for our passengers and ensuring their comfort and enjoyment throughout. We are glad you noticed our commitment to your experience by not taking you to a gift store but instead offering drinks and snacks while waiting. We believe that every moment counts, and we want to make sure you have a pleasant time right from the beginning. It warms our hearts to hear that you found the sunrise breathtaking and peaceful. Nature's beauty is something we never tire of, and we are glad we could share that with you. Being a solo participant can indeed be challenging, but we are dedicated to making everyone feel included and connected. We are delighted that you felt a part of our friendly conversations and that we could assist you with capturing those special moments through photos.

Had a blast!!

Alayne_P, June 2023

Waking up early is not my favorite thing to do, but in this case it was well worth it!!! This tour made it so easy to enjoy the Phi Phi islands by conveniently picking us up from our hotel and taking us right to the dock. We enjoyed some coffee and light breakfast before heading out on the boat. Then we made our way to the gorgeous islands. We had ample time to swim and snorkel and see everything the islands had to offer. The crew was also AMAZING! They took great care of us and also made sure we always had food/drinks. Loved this tour!

Early morning beating the crowds

Trisha_S, May 2023

Great experience from customer service, views, food, and ride. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Simba Sea Trips. We left early so the water was calm, we beat the crowd, and were one of the first to be at each spot. This is definitely the way to see Phi Phi Islands.

Great trip superbly organised by the crew

Kristoff_C, May 2023

Started with an impeccable on time pickup in a clean minibus, good breakfast snacks pre boarding, then saw sunrise on our way to Maya Bay. Maya Bay was busy even though we were the early crowd, so I’d hate to see it later! Definitely worth being ‘early’. Had fun snorkeling, swimming and jumping off the boat in a variety of spots. Monkey stop was cool too! Rangai Island was insanely beautiful as a last stop, followed by a decent Thai lunch back at the base spot. Dee and the crew were excellent and it was fun meeting the other visitors!

Response from Host, May 2023

Hi there Kristoff, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We absolutely loved reading your review, and we're thrilled that you had such a fantastic time on our tour. We're delighted to hear that everything went smoothly right from the start. It's great to know that you appreciated the punctuality and cleanliness of our minibus, as well as the tasty breakfast snacks provided before boarding. Starting the day on such a positive note can make all the difference! Maya Bay can indeed get quite busy later in the day, so we're glad you made the decision to be part of the early crowd. It's truly worth it to witness the sunrise and enjoy the beauty of the bay without the overwhelming crowds. We're thrilled that you found the snorkeling, swimming, and boat jumping spots enjoyable. And let's not forget the monkey stop – definitely a cool experience! We couldn't agree more about Rangai Island. It's an absolute gem, and we're delighted that you found it insanely beautiful. It's the perfect way to end the tour on a high note. And of course, a decent Thai lunch back at the base spot is always a satisfying way to refuel after an exciting day. We're thrilled that Dee and the crew provided you with excellent service. They take great pride in creating a fun and memorable experience for our guests. It's also wonderful to hear that you enjoyed meeting the other visitors on the tour. It's always a pleasure to connect with fellow travelers and share in the excitement of exploring new places. Thank you once again for choosing our tour and for sharing your positive feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for another incredible adventure!
