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. ***

Great day trip. The tour company has everything figured out…from coffee after pickup, snacks and drinks throughout the day, breakfast, lunch and even wet bags and mats for the beach. Top notch service. Guides/drivers were wonderful. Overall great day that surpassed my expectations.

Genuinely worth every bit we paid as well as the early wake-up call! Really enjoyed the whole tour from start to finish - the staff were all so lovely, the trip was well-planned, we got ahead of all the crowds, and we had a good amount of time in each location. Would 100% recommend :)

Well organised and planned trip. We were very well taken care off with lovely food and refreshments throughout the day and a beautiful lunch at the marina on return. Our captain was awesome and Joseph and David were great too. Highly recommended- smaller group and very comfortable boat.

Amazing day with Sara and the entire crew of Simba 8. Sunrise over the islands, Maya Bay, lagoon swimming, snorkeling and a beautiful beach all made for a great day!

We went on the Phi Phi sunrise tour with another couple. It was an incredible tour. There were 11 of us on the speedboat. While you do have to get up early (5 am pickup), it was definitely worth it as you got to see the sunrise on the water, and we got to the sites before they got crowded. Sara was an excellent guide. She was very upbeat, inclusive, and sweet. We also really enjoyed the guy snorkeling with us as he showed our group lots of different wildlife in the ocean. Maya Bay was beautiful, the two snorkeling stops were fun, and the food provided was delicious. The water was choppy getting to Maya Bay in the morning. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour!

Simba 8 with Sara and crew was the best! We had a great time, we’re always entertained, snacks and drinks were abundant. Lunch was also offered and it was delicious. But my favorite part was the crew, Sara was an absolute gem and she made the trip a blast. Highly recommend going on this excursion. The sunrise was a beautiful sight, the snorkeling spots were amazing, and Maya Beach is as pretty as the movie portrays.
