Koh Yao Yai: Mangrove Kayaking and Authentic Island Living

Service was great, guides were great! Absolutely amazing tour! So amazing that we just cancelled our next tour by other company and booked one more Simba tour❤️ Special thanks to everyone that made this trip unforgettable for us! Emin&Elvira

Simba 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.

The entire trip was wonderful - the boat ride, the scenery, the stops for swimming and snorkel - everything was perfect. A dream come true, and still on my bucket list.

This was one of the best experiences of our entire trip to Thailand! From the moment we were picked up at our hotel in comfortable, air-conditioned minivans until we were dropped back at the resort, everything was so well organised and ran seamlessly. A huge thank you to Dee and her incredible team, who made the day so special. They were friendly, attentive, organised, and always made sure everyone was having a great time. Their energy and hospitality really made the experience unforgettable. The itinerary was perfectly planned. We arrived at Maya Bay early in the morning, before the large crowds, which meant we could truly appreciate just how breathtaking it is. To make the morning even better, we were treated to sticky rice and delicious banana bread for breakfast while enjoying one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Throughout the day we explored some incredible locations around the Phi Phi Islands, including: * A long stop at Maya Bay before it became busy. * Two fantastic snorkelling spots with crystal-clear water and vibrant marine life. * A secluded swimming location away from the crowds. * A peaceful private beach where we could relax and soak in the scenery. The food was another highlight. We were constantly looked after with drinks, snacks, and fresh fruit throughout the trip, and when we returned around 1:30 pm, a delicious Thai buffet lunch was waiting for us. There was plenty of variety, and everything was fresh and tasty. Travelling by speedboat was also part of the adventure. It was fast, exciting, and meant we could maximise our time at each destination instead of spending hours travelling between islands. Just be aware that the ride can be a little bumpy and you may get splashed along the way, so if you’re not a fan of speed or getting a bit wet, it’s something to keep in mind. For us, it was absolutely worth it! Overall, this tour exceeded every expectation. Amazing scenery, fantastic food, seamless organisation, and an outstanding crew led by Dee. If you’re looking for a Phi Phi Islands tour that offers incredible value and creates unforgettable memories, this is the one to book. We would do it again in a heartbeat! 🌴🚤🏝️🐠💙

Wonderful tour! The staff were so kind. The islands were unimaginably beautiful. Would recommend over and over again!

What an ABSOLUTE AMAZING time my son and I had! Everyone on board was extremely tentative and very knowledgeable! From the smooth pickup, smooth drop off, to light breakfast, coffee and tea as we arrived to the WHOLE experience was hands down one of the most memorable times we had in Phuket! The breakfast that was provided on boat, lunch buffet on the island to the scenic views, kayaking through the islands, and THE VIEWS, THE VIEWS, THE VIEWS WERE just UNFORGETTABLE!! Highly recommend this tour!! 100000/100000
