Phranang Beach: Where Drama Meets Sacred Culture

We’ve visited the Phi Phi Islands on a previous trip to Phuket, but I can confidently say that our experience with Simba Sea Tours was on another level! Firstly, the boat was noticeably more modern, exceptionally clean and comfortable compared with our previous experience. The crew were incredibly professional, genuinely friendly and attentive throughout the entire day. There was also an abundance of food, snacks and refreshments available, so we were certainly never left hungry! One thing that really stood out was the tour guides’ willingness to actually get into the water with us, helping us explore and pointing out things we otherwise might have missed. It’s these little touches that make such a big difference. A couple of recommendations: I highly recommend organising a private transfer to the departure point. Also, don’t be put off by the early start! Getting out on the water before the crowds arrive is fantastic, and the sea is generally much smoother in the early morning, making for a far more enjoyable boat ride. You’ll probably notice that Simba Sea Tours is considerably more expensive than many of the other Phi Phi Island tours available in Phuket. However, having experienced both, I can confidently say you absolutely get what you pay for. The quality of the boat, professionalism of the crew, attention to detail and overall experience make the extra cost completely worthwhile. If you’re considering a Phi Phi Islands tour, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simba Sea Tours. Five stars and worth every cent!

James Bond Island and Beyond. Just book it. Yes it’s an early start, yes it’s more expensive but it’s sooo worth it. Harry, Captain Watt took great care of everyone. Boat is very comfortable with full shade and plenty often space. Regular food and soft drinks. Great itinerary with only 40 mins at most between stops at different islands. We had some places to ourselves! Even James Bond island was blissfully quiet. Kayaking was amazing with local guides doing all the work. Book it, you won’t regret it.

The whole experience was amazing! We were lucky to be in a smaller group so the tour was really detailed! The food and drinks do not stop- we were incredibly well taken care of!

Wonderful day out. We had to have a very early start (pick up from hotel 5.20am) due to tides. Mangrove Cave visits are subject to tides. Visited Mangrove cave with a bit of time to look around before leaving as tide was coming in fast. Breakfast provided onboard was tasty. Wonderful crew on boat Captain experienced and drove boat safely, deck crew very helpful when getting on and off the boat. Lunch at an island was tasty and plentiful. Swimming at island water nice and warm shade under mangrove trees with mat provided to sit on. Plenty of soft drinks on board boat and fresh fruit for a snack. The guide was wonderful full of information and ensured you were offered soft drinks and water regularly. Excellent day out highly recommend. Small boat tour with max 20, no need to wait for your turn in kayak as small number easily catered for.

This trip was great. Transport actually came early and we were on the boat by 6am. Sara gave us a quick brief and we watched the sunrise on the way to Maya beach. The beach was pretty empty and the breakfast was good with plenty of food. We had a lot of time to swim and snorkel at the stops and they pointed out cool fish and baby sharks to see in the water. There were only 7 of us so plenty of room on the boat although the seating was enough that it wouldn’t feel too crowded even when full. Everything was well organized. Sara and crew were great definitely recommend this island boat tour it was my favorite tour of my trip!

Do not skip this tour if your are in phuket. 100% worth it. Ask for Momo as your tour guide. She is amaizing and made the trip x10 times better. Maya beach was closed due to the date but the alternative is really good as well. All spots were on point. The food at the end of the tour was amaizing. Best pad thai we had since we arrived to thailand
