Good for avoiding crowds
Overview
Popular for azure waters and white sand beaches, the Phi Phi Islands are a major hotspot for visitors to Thailand. 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.
- First footsteps in the sand: make landfall early to avoid the crowds
- Tailor the day to your interests with a flexible itinerary
- Snorkel gear is included, so don't stress about fitting a mask in your luggage
- Start the day off the right way with breakfast on the beach

Best thing about Phuket - simba sea tours
uma_C
, Jun 2022
Loved the trip. Jane was a great tour guide. Energetic, caring and made me feel safe - I hate snorkelling n did it just for the kids n hubby. It rained like crazy but despite that the water in the sea was warm there were many fishes to sea n the experience was amazing. The water was very clear! The food was good. My son loved it. For my daughter the picky western food eater I had packed stuff from the hotel! The crew were friendly n tight on safety hygiene n security- they were real experts of the area plus easy going n took care of everyone’s need. Plus we had a good bunch of people in the tour group! For someone terrified of the ocean.. I would say it wasn’t family’s Phuket highlight!

Fantastic experience for the 4:30 am wakeup

The package was too good . The guide June was too friendly and took care of everything. Even for people who do not know swimming , the guides provided an excellent support to help and give us a great snorkeling experience . The 4:30am wake-up and the amount is worth for the service and food provided .
We took one more sunset long tail package from Viator for Krabi which was horrible.Hence highly recommend the Simba tours.

Amazing Trip - Highly Recommended! 5 Stars! *****
David_G

Amazing trip with premium service from start to finish. The whole trip was fantastic - beautiful, stunning locations at a good pace and with a great crew and guide. Would highly recommend and the early start is definitely worth it to experience some of the stops with far less crowds.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Hi David,
Thanks for re-iterating the value of the early wakeup.
I'm not a morning person myself, and it's interesting to observe the mood of our groups as we progress through the tour, from being a little shell-shocked and half asleep from being up so early, to becoming very upbeat as the day progresses as their minds are blown by the beauty of the Phi Phi islands. ...particularly in the early hours of the morning before the crowds build up.
It's only one early wakeup, but so worth it!
Thanks so much for your comments.
Kind regards,
Paul
Amazing views and great guides.

This was a fantastic trip. Every part of the trip is beautiful and going early is one of the most important aspects. You get to see the popular spots before the crowds show up. Our guides were also very friendly and helped us spot interesting fish while snorkeling. Highly recommended.

This was a fantastic tour; educational, beautiful views and lovely food. The 4:30am wake up was truly worth it. 10/10.
A must-do for vacationers!

A must-do for vacationers! Well organized! They always had a snack and cold water available, plus the Phi Phi (pee pee) islands with the clear green waters is gorgeous. The snorkeling was better than our scuba dive trip yesterday.
Incredible Experiance!!!

The trip was fully organized from start to end, and the guides were awesome! They were friendly and helpful, and made me feel welcomed, even as the only solo traveller on the boat. It rained a little bit, but after that, the sun was in full effect! All of the stops were great, and were enough time, as well as gave you an even sense of activity and down time. They also worked to accommodate my allergy to shrimp, although I suggest for future guests with seafood allergies, more non-seafood options (maybe more chicken prepared without the shrimp paste). The snorkeling was beautiful, and the guides were really kind in taking me out, as I was the scaredy cat of the group with wandering out on my own. They were also great about taking “Sexy Photos” to preserve the memories of the day lol Thanks again!

Amazing tour with amazing views. The speedboat has comfortable seating. The early rise is worth it to be first on Maya Beach. We had breakfast and drinks on the beach, which was delicious. We were provided with beach mats, snorkeling equipment and noodles for swimming.
The snorkeling was fantastic and the staff were so helpful with pointing out the sealife. Pileh lagoon is beautiful. Lunch at the holiday Inn was good.
The staff were honestly amazing. Our guide, Noi was fun and informative and has a great sense of humor.
On our way back to phuket a family who had gone on a private tour took the speedboat with us and they were so disrespectful towards the crew. But the crew handled it with poise and grace.
The only negative comment I had is that I received no communication from the company until about 18 hours before. But once I got a confirmation email everything went smoothly. I was probably extra stressed because I booked the excursion about 4 months before.
All in all, I would 100% recommend this tour.
Simba + Sunrise is a Great Time

Over the years, I’ve done two other day trips to the phi phi islands and this is by far the best. The operation is run smoothly and the team is very friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a reliable way to see the islands without the crowds, don’t hesitate to go with Simba. Special thanks to Jane, Wit, Moya and Paul for being incredibly responsive (pre and during the trip) and showing me and my girlfriend a great time.

One word "AWESOME" The early start meant we had each beach to our own. From pick up to check in to theboat crew all professionally down.
As forthe guide sge was supurb her enthusiasm and craziness made the difference to the trip... I cannot recommend this experience highly enough and would urge anyone looking to do this trip to opt for Samba tours. Thanks for making an amazing day for us both.
Best tour I've ever been on
Thomas_M
, Feb 2022
The tour was amazing and perfect from hotel pickup to hotel drop off. We were given so much food and drink from the moment we walked into the door. We made 8 stops around the Phi Phi islands including Maya Beach and snorkeling. The boat was really comfortable with plenty of shady seating for everyone to spread out. All in all, this is one of the best tours I've ever been on anywhere, and I travel a lot. Thank you so much for memories that will last forever!
Think twice - No cancelation even on bad weather
effi_b
, Jan 2022
We were looking forward for this tour but the forecast for the trip day was bad. The company did not postpone or canceled the trip due to the weather saying that it will improve during the day. We experienced rain and strong winds during most of the trip that made us sick during the cruise. Being at the island at pouring rain and strong wind is not the trip you are looking for. It seems that the company will not cancel or postpone a trip no matter what. My advice is that if you have any doubts about the weather cancel the trip! Save your money and most of all your health, as they will not do it.
Response from Host , Jan 2022
Dear effi_b,
Thanks for sharing your experience with Simba. We are sorry to hear that your tour experienced rain and strong winds. Please rest assured that the weather is something that we monitor very closely and do cancel tours if all day rain and unsafe winds are forecast. This was not something that was forecast on the day of your tour. It seems that we were unlucky with the rain and wind that was around, which is extremely unusual for this time of year. Our weather is monitored by Paul who has over 25 years experience in reading and predicting weather charts in his main profession which is as an airline pilot. It is very unfortunate that the weather did stay around but in the tropics it is generally very isolated and moves on quickly. It could be raining heavily in one part of Phuket and be completely dry in another. We do recommend that guests have a seasickness tablet also and these are readily available in our office and mentioned in our briefing in the morning because we don't want anyone to get sick. We believe that we have the highest safety standards in all of Thailand and you would be hard pressed to find another company that cares as much about safety as we do. Unfortunately we cannot control the rain and we would not risk the safety of our guests. Best regards, Andrea
Best tour of Phi Phi Islands

The sunrise tour to the Phi Phi Islands was amazing! Harry our tour guide and the crew were so accommodating and knowledgeable. It was an amazing day!
The best experience possible around Phi Phi Island.
Benjamin_R
, Nov 2021
We had an incredible experience with the Simba Tour Company.
We were welcomed by Harry who was our tour guide, very kind and helpful person.
We had the privilege to do this tour during the slow reopening for tourists so we were only 9 Persons and we met close to 0 other tourist during the tour (which is, as we understood, very rare).
The tour starts at the hotel where the driver comes for you at the lobby, very welcoming, he puts you in the car with the other people doing the tour with you. You then travel to the Royal Marina, which is a very fancy port with nice apartments and houses all around it.
You get to the office where you can eat some snacks, drink water/tea/coffee and go to the restroom with no additional fees.
After a while Harry explains the tour and how we will proceed during the day.
You then get on a very nice boat (pretty comfy compared to some speed boat you take on cheap tours), where you can enjoy the view no matter where you're seated.
Then the real tour begins, and it's exactly as described in the viator page (looking at you , 1 star reviewer... lol)
The tour feels very exclusive , you're really taken care of by the staff, and the whole staff is amazing.
You get to eat some very good food for breakfast (fruits/cake and local delicacies) and for lunch (seafood, chicken, soup, spring rolls and steamed rice).
Also Harry will make sure you have the most amazing day and will give you some anecdotes and explanations about all the places you visit.
The staff provides you with beach mats, towels, 'water noodles' and all the equipment needed to snorkel. You also have access to drinks whenever you want and you are often asked if you need anything.
We were wondering two things before choosing this tour :
- Is the price justified
- Is waking up this early justified
We cannot stress enough how much the answer is a BIG YES for both.
We spent the best day possible in the company of Harry and the whole staff.
Thank you all once again :)
Response from Host , Nov 2021
Wow! What a wonderful review. Thank you so much:-)
We really appreciate reviewers highlighting our main differences from our competitors. As you have mentioned, there is a huge spectrum of tour operators in Thailand and we proudly sit a the top of the quality scale.
Thank you once again for your very detailed review. We really appreciate your effort.
Best regards,
Paul

You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
