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. ***

Absolutely amazing experience. I chose this for early start time and we were done by 2pm! Such a fun morning/afternooon. Beautiful sunrise that they stopped the boat for. They gave snacks and the breakfast on the beach was small but filling with a beautiful background. They even took pictures for guests. I was on Simba 7 with Joseph and crew, thank you so much!

My partner baulked at the prospect of getting out of bed at 4:40am. to catch the 5am pick-up car, so I booked this trip to go solo. So, with her quietly snoring, I met the car and we arrived at the harbour around half an hour before departure. We had a light breakfast at the Soho club before boarding and leaving at 6am. The early start is so worth it. We watched the sun rise while heading directly to Maya Bay. Our guide Momo was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly with a great sense of humour. Another bonus to leaving early is that you beat the crowds and as we were leaving Maya Bay the hoards were starting to arrive. We spent the day swimming and snorkelling at carefully selected spots and then had chilled beach time at Coconut Island before returning to a delicious buffet lunch back at the Soho Club. I thoroughly recommend this company. All of staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. The booking process was easy and their boats are clean modern and comfortable. Thanks team Simba.

Fantastic experience with Simba boat tours! A very early start, collected from the hotel and taken to the marina, which was beautiful. We had a nice breakfast and then set off on the boat to Maya bay. The staff on the boat were kind and organised. They made the day so enjoyable! We then went to two snorkelling and swimming spots with fish before going to a private beach. We finished by having a wonderful buffet lunch and then were taken back to our hotel. Excellent experience, we would recommend to all!

Great experience. Even it’s an early trip the islands are packed by noon, 6,000+ visitors/day. The crew was very nice and helpful and full of knowledge.

Myself, wife and ten year old daughter done the Phi Phi tour on the 14th of April, followed by the James Bond tour in the 16th. Both tours were flawless. Our guide on the Phi Phi trip was Joseph, who was extremely accommodating. He went to great lengths to find the fish my daughter wanted to see and to show her the baby sharks at Maya Bay. He also funny with jokes throughout the day. Our guide Harry on the James Bond tour was also excellent and very informative, making sure we learnt a lot along the way. He went to lengths to make sure we got some great family photos and videos. The rest of the crews on the two boats were also very friendly and professional, with relaxed driving and helping us get on and off of the boats as well as anything by else we needed. I would not book with anyone else and can highly recommend Simba

Great early morning, sunrise excursion. Our guide, Noi Noi was very energetic & witty to keep us all motivated. The beach/bay stops were beautiful & stopping at Monkey Island was worth it, as there were plenty to see, even though it's never a guarantee the cheeky monkeys will show themselves, so we felt very honoured by their appearance, after eagerly waiting for a good 20 minutes, and just as we thought *Oh well, nevermind" one appears, "Hooray!" Then, another, and another .. Noi Noi assisted me with my first snorkeling experience, such a lovely, patient person, who was determined to show me a Reef Shark, which is beautiful to see up close, as well as other tropical fish, and a black water snake. So, I'm very thankful to him for that and thoroughly loved the experience, even though I was very anxious snorkeling. The Sunrise Tour was the best time, as the various beaches/bays get very busy as the morning goes on. Lunch was very delicious too. Definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our day visiting the Phi Phi islands, Dee was brilliant and all the crew on Simba 8 as well as the staff at the SOHO club! It was very special to see the sunrise and all of the activities were amazing and well planned. Everything ran smoothly and the fresh fruit and drinks provided were a nice touch. The experience felt very exclusive and never rushed!
