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. ***

5.00Noi and his crew did a fantastic job! From the nick up at our hotel at 4;55am on the dot to the speed boat tour including phi phi islands, lots of yummy snacks and great service including the swimming and snorkeling - couldn’t have been better. And the buffet lunch at the end was wonderful! Go in this tour, you won’t regret it!
Amazing tour .

Seamless Luxury with Simba Sea Trips’ - An Intimate Phi Phi & Maya Bay Experience
EMM KAYY,Jun 5, 2026

5.00Simba Sea Trips Phuket delivers one of the most polished and memorable island experiences you can have in Phuket. The "Luxury Small Group Sunrise Phi Phi Island and Maya Bay boat trip" feels carefully designed from start to finish, with every detail handled before the crowds arrive, so the day begins in calm, comfort, and style. The breakfast at the SOHO Club is a lovely way to start the morning at 6 am, and the hospitality only gets better from there. On board, the food and drinks are well thought out, and the final buffet lunch at the beach club is a fitting finish, with good vegetarian options as well. What sets this trip apart is the attention to guests. With no boat carrying more than 18 people, the experience never feels crowded or rushed, and there is a real sense that everyone is being looked after individually. That extra care makes a huge difference, especially on a premium trip like this. A special mention to our guide Noi Noi, whose witty commentary, deep knowledge, and genuinely personal attention made the journey even better. He had a wonderful way of making everyone feel included, and it was impressive to see first-time snorkelers, including guests who did not know how to swim, confidently enjoying the Phi Phi Don waters under his guidance. Our speedboat captain Dan Dan was amazing and how he guided through the choppy waters still keeping the boat steady and stable. Simba is a highly professional, luxury experience that is absolutely worth every penny.
Another Fantastic Trip

5.00Dear Simba Tours Team, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for another fantastic experience following my recent Sunrise Phi Phi & Maya Bay tour. I have been travelling with Simba Tours since 2013, back when the company was under its previous ownership. Over the years, I’ve experienced tours under both the original and current owners, and what continues to impress me is the consistency of the experience and the standards you maintain. A few things have always stood out to me: • Professionalism from start to finish • A genuine customer-first approach • A team that clearly cares about creating memorable experiences rather than simply moving tourists from one location to another On this particular trip, Noi and his crew were exceptional. Their energy, charisma, humour, and ability to engage with guests made the day even more enjoyable. What impressed me most was the care shown towards guests who were nervous about the sea or snorkelling. I watched Noi personally enter the water with guests to help them overcome their anxieties and ensure they felt safe and comfortable. That level of care is rare and speaks volumes about the culture of your company. From time to time, I hear people comment that Simba Tours is more expensive than some other operators. Having travelled with many tour companies over the years, my response is always the same: there is a reason for the difference. With Simba, you are paying for professionalism, safety, organisation, quality, and an experience where guests genuinely matter. You’re not simply another number on a crowded boat. The attention to detail and customer care consistently justify the premium. After more than a decade of travelling with Simba Tours, it’s wonderful to see that the values that made me choose you in the first place are still very much alive today. Please pass my thanks on to Noi and the entire crew. They did a fantastic job and made what was already a beautiful day even more memorable.
lovely day

4.00They do say up to 10 people but we had 21 including 3 staff. The ride on the boat was very bumpy i was expecting something a little more up market for the cost. The staff were great and could not do enough for you ,one of the staff even went in the water and helped one of the guests to snorkel.All in all the day was great
Book now you won’t regret it

5.00This was an absolutely amazing trip. Noi is a wonderful guide and engaged us all the entire time and took us to better snorkeling spots. Lunch was good if simple. Jumping off the top of the boat was fun. One caveat is sit on the left side of the boat on the way out if you want to see the sunset. The right side behind the captain was blocked from view the entire trip.
Perfect day

5.00When planning a trip halfway around the world, there are bound to be hits and misses. This was a HIT — and it’s not to be missed! The entire experience was professional and fun, and so well thought out. All of the little touches — snacks and drinks on arrival and well-paced throughout the day, even the provision of cold cloths, shower rinses, pool noodles, snorkel gear, taking photos for you, help on and off the boat — were perfect. The Simba team (Momo and the two captains) were a delight, fun, and helpful. Then there’s the scenery and experience itself. The water really IS that blue/green! The snorkeling was amazing — we saw many varieties of fish, coral, even a baby shark. Went to Maya Bay first (The Beach movie), then to two different islands to snorkel. Made a short stop at Monkey Island and managed to see one monkey. Then we headed to Coconut Island, a little paradise, where we spent an hour on the beach, sitting in the beach chairs, toes in the exquisitely soft sand. Then it was back to shore for a delicious Thai lunch at our starting point (a beach club at the marina). After lunch (and experiencing one of those famous Thai downpours at the end!), we were shuttled back to our hotel. White-glove service top to bottom. Yes, the 5am pickup time is early, but it was so worth it to pay a bit more for this luxury excursion with just about 18 people, and beat the crowds. Another nice touch we appreciated: one of our snorkeling stops had some trash and debris floating in the water (plastic bottles, things like that). We appreciated seeing Momo collect the trash she could in net bags they keep on board for that purpose. So: A resounding YES! If you can spring for this, do it. It’s such a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list experience that we’re glad to add to our travel journal.
