Scuba Diving in Phuket

Scuba diving in Phuket is one of Thailand’s top marine experiences, known for warm waters, clear visibility, and vibrant coral reefs in the Andaman Sea. Divers can encounter colourful reef life, large schools of fish, leopard sharks, and the occasional sea turtle. With a wide range of dive sites and conditions, Phuket is an accessible and rewarding destination for both beginners and certified divers.

Guests travelling with Simba Sea Trips can add scuba diving to select tours, including the Phi Phi Sunrise Tour and private charters. Early departures allow you to beat the crowds and enjoy calm morning seas, with guided dives at iconic sites such as Phi Phi, Bida Nok, Bida Nai, and Shark Point. Small group sizes, smooth logistics, and experienced local professionals ensure a relaxed, safe, and memorable way to explore Phuket’s underwater world.

Wildlife Encounters in Phuket

Phuket and the surrounding Andaman Sea are home to some of southern Thailand’s richest wildlife. Simba Sea Trips follows a strict no-contact wildlife policy, allowing guests to enjoy natural encounters from a respectful distance. Areas such as the Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay support thriving marine and coastal ecosystems where wildlife is observed responsibly — no feeding, no touching, no interference.

On land, guests often see long-tailed macaques along mangroves and limestone cliffs, as well as Brahminy kites and white-bellied sea eagles soaring overhead. In Phang Nga Bay’s tidal zones, mudskippers and crabs are common sights. Beneath the surface, the Andaman Sea reveals colourful reef fish, soft corals, blacktip reef sharks at Maya Bay, sea turtles, moray eels, giant trevally, cuttlefish, and occasional eagle rays.

Choosing Simba Sea Trips means experiencing Phuket’s wildlife in a way that is respectful, conservation-focused, and authentic — allowing nature to remain wild, thriving, and unforgettable.

Short Hikes & Iconic Viewpoints in Krabi and Phang Nga Bay

While Phuket is best known for its beaches and islands, several Simba Sea Trips tours also include short hikes to some of the region’s top viewpoints. These easy walks add a memorable land-based element, with panoramic views over limestone cliffs and the Andaman Sea.

Hong Island Viewpoint – Krabi Classics Tour

A well-built staircase leads to a stunning 360-degree view across Phang Nga Bay, offering some of the best photo opportunities in southern Thailand.

Koh Nok Lookout – Phang Nga Bay & Beyond Tour

This short 15–20 minute climb includes rope sections and light scrambling, rewarding guests with dramatic bay views and a sense of adventure.

Together, these hikes combine scenery, light adventure, and unforgettable viewpoints beyond the water.

A sunset cruise in Phuket is a calm, scenic way to end a day on the water. Simba Sea Trips offers two private charter options on Phuket’s east coast, where glowing skies, calm seas, and limestone scenery create a beautiful sunset backdrop.

Phang Nga Bay Sunset – Private Speedboat Charter

This private cruise explores Phang Nga Bay, including Koh Panyee, Koh Phanak, and James Bond Island, with time to enjoy caves, lagoons, and a peaceful sunset return through the karst landscape.

Snorkelling in the Andaman Sea

Snorkelling with Simba Sea Trips takes place in calm water with small groups and clear visibility at some of southern Thailand’s best reef sites. Guests can expect healthy corals and colourful reef fish, with occasional sightings of blacktip reef sharks or cuttlefish.

Phi Phi Snorkelling – Phi Phi Sunrise (Shared & Private)

Two snorkel stops around Phi Phi Leh and Phi Phi Don with calm morning conditions and excellent visibility.

Krabi Snorkelling – Krabi Classics Tour

Sheltered snorkelling at Chicken Island with soft corals and diverse reef fish.

Coral Island Snorkelling – Private Charter

Easy, calm snorkelling close to Phuket, ideal for families and first-timers.

Local Islands Snorkelling – Locals Island Tour (Private Pontoon)

Across all tours, snorkelling with Simba Sea Trips is safe, relaxed, and designed to showcase the Andaman Sea at its best.

Sea Kayaking in Phang Nga Bay

Sea kayaking in Phang Nga Bay is one of the most peaceful and visually striking experiences offered by Simba Sea Trips. The bay is famous for its towering limestone karsts, hidden lagoons, and smooth sheltered water — the perfect setting for a slow, scenic paddle. Guests sit two per kayak, accompanied by a skilled local paddling guide who steers through narrow cave entrances and into ancient “hongs” (open-air rooms inside the islands).

During the kayak journey, you simply relax and take in the surroundings. The cliffs rise hundreds of feet above the water, birds circle overhead, and the light shifts across the rock formations in a way that feels almost otherworldly. Depending on the tide, your guide may paddle through low cave passages or into quiet interior lagoons where the sound drops away and the only movement is the ripple of the kayak.

This classic sea-kayaking experience is included on our Phang Nga Bay & Beyond Tour, as well as on selected private charters in the same region. It’s calm, effortless, and one of the best ways to appreciate the scale and beauty of Phang Nga Bay’s limestone landscape.

Sunrise Experiences

The Phi Phi Sunrise Tour is built around one of the most memorable moments you can have at sea: watching the sun rise over the islands between Phuket and Koh Yao Yai. The sunrise doesn’t happen at Phi Phi itself — it happens en route, in the open water, where the horizon is wide and the colours spread across the Andaman Sea. If the skies are clear and the water is calm, our captain slows down and stops the boat for 10–15 minutes so everyone can take it in.

As the sun lifts over Koh Yao Yai and the distant Krabi coastline, the light washes across the limestone silhouettes and the sea turns gold. Guests can take photos, the crew is always happy to capture group shots, and the moment sets the tone for the entire day at Phi Phi. On mornings with a perfect sunrise, many guests say it becomes the unexpected highlight of the tour.

This sunrise experience is exclusive to our Phi Phi Sunrise Private Charter and Phi Phi Sunrise Shared Tour, and it’s one of the reasons these routes are known for calm conditions, fewer crowds, and incredible early-morning atmosphere.

Relaxing Beach Stops & Quiet Island Time on Simba Sea Trips

Every Simba Sea Trips tour includes time to slow down and enjoy the islands at a relaxed pace. Whether it’s a quiet beach stop, a gentle swim, or simply taking in the scenery, relaxation is built into every itinerary.

Lagoon Swimming & Emerald Lagoons

The emerald lagoons of southern Thailand are among the Andaman Sea’s most beautiful sights, and Simba Sea Trips visits several of the region’s most iconic examples. Surrounded by limestone cliffs and glowing green water, these lagoons offer calm, scenic moments — some for swimming, others for a slow cruise.

Pileh Lagoon – Phi Phi Sunrise & Phi Phi Shark

A crystal-clear emerald lagoon on Phi Phi Leh, often allowing swimming when conditions are right.

Hong Lagoon (Krabi) – Krabi Classics

A peaceful cruise through still green water and towering cliffs.

Kudu Island Lagoon – Private Charters & Select Routes

A smaller, quiet lagoon near Ko Yao Noi with shallow turquoise water.

These stops highlight the serene, unforgettable beauty of the Andaman Sea.

Beach Time & Island Hopping

Island hopping is at the heart of every Simba Sea Trips experience. Each tour includes time on some of the region’s most beautiful beaches, where guests can walk the sand, swim in calm water, explore the scenery, or simply relax. These stops are chosen for their natural beauty, quieter conditions, and picture-perfect surroundings.

Phi Phi Sunrise includes Maya Bay, Bamboo Island (for picnics/shark tour), and Rang Yai Island for beach time at the end of the day.

Krabi Classics features Hong Island, Chicken Island, and additional scenic beaches across the Krabi coastline.

Phang Nga Bay & Beyond and Private Charters include peaceful spots such as Koh Nok, Lam Haad Sandbar, and occasionally Lawa Island (Krabi region only).

Every island offers something unique — dramatic cliffs, powdery sand, lagoon views, or calm blue water — making island hopping a highlight of travelling with Simba Sea Trips.

Sightseeing & Scenic Cruising

A major part of every Simba Sea Trips tour is the sheer beauty of cruising through the Andaman Sea. The landscapes are world-class: towering limestone pillars in Phang Nga Bay, the turquoise channels around Phi Phi, the untouched eastern coast of Phuket, and the wide-open water around Krabi.

Guests enjoy constant views of karst formations, mangroves, hidden coves, fishing boats, local wildlife, and clear blue ocean. With Simba Sea Trips’ early departures, the sea is calmer, the light is softer, and the routes are far quieter than most tours — making the scenic cruising experience feel personal and peaceful.

This applies to all tours: Phi Phi Sunrise, Phi Phi Shark Tour, Phang Nga Bay & Beyond, Krabi Classics, Local Islands, and every Private Charter.

Sea Caves & Hong Exploration

Phang Nga Bay is famous for its intricate network of sea caves, carved by thousands of years of tides and rainfall. On select routes, Simba Sea Trips guests explore these caves and “hongs” — interior rooms inside the islands that open up to the sky.

On Phang Nga Bay & Beyond, guests board kayaks paddled by local guides who navigate through low cave entrances and narrow channels. Depending on the tide, the journey leads into silent interior lagoons, where the cliffs rise vertically in every direction. Additional cave viewing may occur around Panak Island or nearby formations on private charters.

It’s a calm, atmospheric experience that reveals a hidden side of the Andaman Sea.

Floating Village Experience – Koh Panyee

The floating village of Koh Panyee is one of the most culturally interesting stops available on a Simba route. Built entirely on stilts over the water, this Muslim fishing village is known for its welcoming community, seafood restaurants, and the famous floating football pitch.

Guests may visit Koh Panyee on the Phang Nga Sunset Private Charter, walking through narrow wooden walkways, seeing homes above the sea, and getting a glimpse into daily life in Phang Nga Bay. It’s a light cultural touchpoint that adds variety to the nature-focused experience delivered by Simba Sea Trips.

Family-Friendly Experiences

Every Simba Sea Trips tour is designed with families in mind. Our small group sizes, shaded boats, early departures, and gentle water stops make the experience especially comfortable for children and first-time snorkellers.

Crew members help with life jackets, snorkelling gear, getting in and out of the water, and ensuring everyone feels safe and supported. Many beaches and lagoons offer shallow, calm areas ideal for supervised swimming. There are always quiet spaces on board for kids to rest, and the pace of the tours is intentionally relaxed.

Whether it’s exploring Hong Island, swimming at Pileh, enjoying a picnic on Bamboo Island, or relaxing at Rang Yai, Simba Sea Trips provides an easy, smooth, family-friendly environment on every route.
