My family arranged for the private tour with Simba. We managed to do the equivalent of two tours in one day. It is without hesitation that I recommend Simba.

Join-In TourPhi Phi Sunrise Tour — Maya Bay Before the Crowds
The classic Phi Phi day done properly.

Seven stops over eight hours, max 18 adults, buffet lunch back at Soho Pool Club. Year-round, all-inclusive from ฿5,310 THB, free cancellation 24h+. Maya Bay closes for ecosystem rejuvenation each August-September; we substitute Bamboo Island.

Limestone karsts, hidden sea caves, mangrove kayaking, and the iconic Khao Phing Kan ("James Bond Island"). Smallest group sizes among local operators — most boats running this route carry 30–60. We carry 18. Lunch on board.

Join-In TourPhi Phi Sunset Shark Tour — 8 hours (November–April only)
Afternoon Phi Phi run with a shark-spotting stop on the way home. Same itinerary as Sunrise but sunset-side. Dry season only — we don't run this in May–October because Andaman afternoon thunderstorms make sunset returns unsafe.
