Maya Bay
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 prohibited from 2018 to the end of 2021, 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. You will be one of the first boats to arrive and this awe inspiring bay to enjoy placing the first footprints of the day into it's fine white sand. ***During the months of August and September, the Phi Phi National Park closes Maya Bay to tourists to allow some annual rejuvenation to the ecosystem. The stunning Bamboo Island is visited instead during these months. ***

Overall an exceptional experience. Patrick and his team were very friendly and caring about every detail. It set the atmosphere for us all to have a fun, relaxing experience. The small group was refreshing as well. Highly recommend this tour because you are treated so well, see the sights before the mass of tourists arrive (which really breaks the magic and beauty of the sights if you go with a big tour). Upon arrival back we were served a wonderful Thai lunch as well. This time I was travelling solo but next time I come back with my family I’m definitely booking with this company again.

The communication was great from the start! Billy was very responsive. On the day of tour Noi Noi was our tour guide and he is amazing! He catered to our needs and every detail was perfect! The fruits are great the ride was fast. Noi Noi attended to me when I got sick. He slow the boat disown. Maya Bay was the best we got there early and t there’s only like 10 people in the bed that time so we were able to enjoy it and then they have coffee and stick your eyes for food as we really enjoyed the day we saw baby sharks on the bay. It was a great experience.. then we went swimming in the lagoon. I forgot the name of the lagoon and Noi Noi took my video as I jump off the speedboat. Then we went snorkeling in two different places, and Noi showed us every single fish. Then we were taken to isolated island called Raya, and we just laid there on the sand having beers.. the cherry on top of the store is when we were taken to lunch and the lunch was original Thai food and everything was delicious. I would recommend this tour to everybody and it’s worth it waking up at 4 AM to be alone at Maya Bay.

Had a great time on this trip. The weather was overcast and rainy, but we went anyway, so glad we did. The boat captain did a great job, we felt very safe. Multiple stops to swim, snorkel, and just relax. Plenty of snacks along the way with lunch at the end. Momo and team were very friendly.

I booked a tour with Simba Sea through Viator, choosing the Luxury Small Group Phi Phi Sunrise from Phuket. My group of three was looking for an island-hopping experience with a smaller crowd, and this tour seemed like the perfect fit. It absolutely was, we had an amazing time! After booking, I received an email confirmation right away, followed by a second email with our pickup details. Our driver arrived on time and took us to the Soho Beach Club by 6 a.m., where we were warmly welcomed by the staff. Check-in was quick and easy, and we appreciated having coffee and breakfast snacks available while we waited to board. Once on the boat, Momo and the crew made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. They were friendly, attentive, and full of energy, truly a 10 out of 10. Throughout the day, we enjoyed plenty of snacks, fresh fruit, and cold drinks. Momo really stood out. Her kindness and patience were unforgettable. One of my friends was nervous about getting into the water with a noodle, and Momo immediately jumped in, held her hand, and gently encouraged her until she felt confident swimming on her own. On top of that, Momo has a real eye for photography. She made sure every family and group got great photos at sun rise and especially at Phi Phi Island. The banana bread and sticky rice served for breakfast on the island were absolutely delicious. From start to finish, the entire experience was unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Phuket.

This was a good way to visit the islands with not too large of a crowd. We had great weather, and it was not during peak season. Weather and crowds' matter for this trip so do your research.
