Explore the awe-inspiring beauty of Phang Nga Bay’s limestone cliffs and emerald waters, travelling on Phuket’s smallest group sizes. Discover hidden caves, kayak through mangrove forests, and unwind on stunning beaches. A nature lover’s paradise! This trip is exactly as the title suggests. It incorporates many of the best features of the world-renowned Phang Nga Bay. Cave exploring at Koh Phanak, canoeing at Koh Hong, James Bond Island and swimming at Treasure Island, all nestled within a bay, famed for its ‘Karst’ limestone islands. The scenery truly takes your breath away. Where this trip earns its ‘Beyond’ title is our deviation to Koh Yao Noi which borders Krabi. Koh Yao Noi is a stunning hidden gem and is frequently described as “Phuket – 30 years ago!” It still harbours an ancient, agrarian lifestyle, with rice paddy fields, coconut and rubber tree plantations, Long Tail boat building and even the odd buffalo! We offer a brief land trip by Songtail (small truck) across the southern tip of the island on our way to a picturesque restaurant, with panoramic views of the Krabi archipelago beyond. No crowds, no rush. If you were looking to experience Thailand as it was, as it still is in many parts, Phang Nga and Beyond is your trip. It exudes genuine charm and will leave you with a lasting impression of the true Thailand. In the afternoon we move west and find a quiet beach to swim and relax at. In Phang Nga Bay, large sea swells are less of an issue compared to Phi Phi. It is truly a trip for young and old alike, with activities to keep you entertained all day. Simba really does restricts the number of guests per trip (with a maximum of 18 adults) for a far more personal day out. We are the only known operator in Phuket to do this, 20+ to us is too many, let alone 40+ !!!. As always, within the cost is everything you’ll need for a fun day out on the water. ‘Dry’ bags for those expensive cameras and personal items, life jackets, floating aids, torches & hard-hats for cave exploring, Thai paddle guide per canoe and land transport through Koh Yao Noi. We like to keep you well fed! Light breakfast including Simba’s famous banana cake, snacks, fruit, lunch at Koh Yao Noi and light afternoon tea of fresh fruit and chocolate are all included. To give you the very best day we can, our tour is very flexible. Factors such as the tide, avoiding the tourist swarm and giving you a day to remember, will all affect the order in which the program operates. Tour Details Duration 7/8 hours on the water (approximately). Like all of our trips, ‘the early bird catches the worm’… and most importantly, avoids the crowds! We aim to leave the Soho Pool Club by 7am – 7:15am. Price shown excludes 7% Vat tax and 3% booking fee. A minimum of 6 passengers is required (across all bookings) for the tour to run as scheduled.

Consider the Phi Phi Islands on your Private Tour There is a reason that most tourists love to travel to the Phi Phi Islands. Put simply, the crystal clear waters and spectacular waters are impossible to beat and a major reason why so many of our guests request a Phi Phi island private tour. Its popularity has soared since Maya Bay’s starring role in the Hollywood hit movie ‘The Beach’ and a private speedboat Phuket to Phi Phi tour is high on most people’s wish lists. The beauty of the Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour is that you’ll get to experience the spectacular region largely in the absence of the crowds that you’d confront as part of a standard boat tour with other tour operators in the Phuket region. Venture to James Bond Island on a Phang Nga Bay Private Tour The other immensely popular destination is James Bond Island and many of our customers incorporate this stop onto their private boat charter itinerary. The popularity of a James Bond Island Private Tour is easy to understand. In the scene of the Bond Classic, ‘Man with a Golden Gun’, this island location is as picturesque as it gets… anywhere in the world. While most private tours to James Bond Island start and finish at this location, with Simba this will just be one stop on a memorable journey through Phang Nga Bay and beyond! Choose between our morning program and enjoy a delicious lunch at a tropical island restaurant, or take in all the major sites of Phang Nga Bay on our Sunset tour experiencing the amazing rock colours present late in the day. Also, traverse through beautiful Mangrove tributaries in the far north of the stunning Phang Nga Bay Marine National Park, this is not included in the morning program. Explore the Krabi Classics Renowned for its majestic limestone cliffs, heavenly isles, and glorious mangrove forests, Krabi is a coveted Thai tourist destination. While the driving distance from Phuket to the Krabi islands exceeds 180 km, journeying to this glorious region by boat requires travelling a much smaller distance of approximately 50 km. Not only does a Krabi Island tour get you there quicker, but it also gets you there much, much earlier, ensuring that you can immerse yourself in the magnificent surroundings of the region in the absence of sizeable crowds. Krabi Boat tours cover all the key sites, including the beautiful rock formations at Koh Hong Krabi, the vivid green waters of the nearby Hong Lagoon, snorkelling at Chicken Island, the truly stunning Railay Beach and equally impressive Centara Resort. Revitalize your spirit with our Krabi tour, with breathtaking views and locations that forge memories that last a lifetime. The natural beauty of the islands we visit creates an experience that you will never forget. Simba’s Coral Delight Our popular coral delight program explores the region’s most beautiful coral reefs in the region that we know of, at Coral Island and the private Mai Thon Island to the south of Phuket. We arrive and explore these beautiful reefs before the crowds of other tour boats arrive. Marvel at the awesome variety of fish and corals at these locations, and perhaps even sight a local dolphin pod which regularly inhabits the area. After snorkelling in these two beautiful locations, lounge around in the sea at the cliff base of majestic limestone karsts that makes this region famous, just like you would see at the Phi Phi islands and Phang Nga National Parks. Our day is completed with a nice relaxing lunch and beach stop at a picturesque and rustic tropical island, Koh Rang Yai. Pricing will be dependent on season, preferred itinerary and total passenger numbers.

Customize your Phuket Boat Charter Adventure Of course, we are able to customise and tailor your day out on the water if the above itineraries do not suit you, and we are happy to fit in your special request wherever possible (subject to boat availability). To make your private boat tour as memorable as possible, make sure to consider the most memorable locations in the region. Need some help on where you should set sail for? Check out the following suggestion Consider Private Boat Tours of Phi Phi It’s no surprise that most Phuket tourists love to travel to the Phi Phi Islands. Put simply, the crystal clear waters and spectacular waters are impossible to beat and a major reason why so many of our guests request a Phi Phi island private tour. Its popularity has soared once again following the reopening of Maya Bay to tourists (the stunning location of the Hollywood hit movie ‘The Beach’) and with tourism back on the agenda post-covid lockdowns. The main benefit of our Phi Phi Island Private Boat Tour is that you’ll get to experience the sensational attractions largely in the absence of the crowds that you’d confront as part of a standard boat tour with other tour operators. Venture to James Bond Island on a Phang Nga Bay Private Tour Another extremely popular destination is James Bond Island (Ko Tapu) and many of our customers incorporate this stop into their private boat tours. The popularity of a James Bond Island Private Tour is easy to understand. In the scene of the Bond Classic, ‘Man with a Golden Gun’, this island location is as picturesque as it gets… anywhere in the world. While most private tours to Ko Tapu start and finish at this location, with Simba this will just be one stop on a memorable journey through Phang Nga Bay and beyond! We have multiple existing options to choose from in addition to adding it as part of a private boat tour. You can choose between our existing morning program and enjoy a delicious lunch at a tropical island restaurant, or take in all the major sites of Phang Nga Bay on our Sunset tour experiencing the amazing rock formations late in the day. Explore the Krabi Classics Renowned for its majestic limestone cliffs, heavenly isles, and glorious mangrove forests, Krabi is a coveted Phuket tourist destination. While the driving distance from Phuket to the Krabi islands exceeds 180 km, journeying to this glorious region by private speedboat requires travelling a much shorter distance of approximately 50 km. Not only does a Krabi Island tour get you there quicker, but it also gets you there much, much earlier, ensuring that you can immerse yourself in the magnificent surroundings of the region in the absence of sizeable crowds. Krabi private boat tours cover all the key sites, including the beautiful rock formations at Koh Hong Krabi, the vivid green waters of the nearby Hong Lagoon, snorkelling at Chicken Island, the truly stunning Railay Beach and equally impressive Grand Centara Resort. Revitalize your spirit with a private boat tour of Krabi, with breathtaking views and locations that forge memories that last a lifetime. The natural beauty of the region creates an experience that you will likely never forget. Eco-Friendly Kayaking Over the years we have received more and more requests for a kayaking component to be added to our boat tours. Well, we’ve listened and in 2022 Simba Sea Trips is now fully equipped to provide this option. The benefits of including kayaking as part of your private boat tour itinerary are two-fold. Firstly, kayaking is one of the most intimate ways to explore the Phuket islands as it allows you to go places that our speedboats can’t go. Paddle your way close to shore and explore the undergrowth, or traverse to caves that otherwise can’t be observed from so close. Secondly, spending the majority of the private boat tour on a kayak helps us to reduce fuel emissions. The more time we spend paddling around, the less time our engine is running. Spending over 18 years in the Phuket region, and witnessing its beauty on a daily basis, we are very considerate of protecting the region. Anytime we can switch off the engine and paddle around in a kayak is an added bonus! SNORKELING IN THE CORAL REEFS Not only does our popular coral delight program explore the region’s most beautiful coral reefs but we also provide this option as part of our private boat tours. Two of the most highly recommended locations for snorkelling are Coral Island and the private Mai Thon Island to the south of Phuket. We can arrive and explore these beautiful reefs before the crowds of other tour boats arrive. Be amazed at the awesome variety of fish and corals at these locations, and perhaps even get lucky as a local dolphin pod (which regularly inhabits the area) drops by for a visit After snorkelling in either of these two beautiful locations, lounge around in the sea at the cliff base of majestic limestone karsts that makes these regions famous, just like you would see at the Phi Phi islands and Phang Nga Bay. Pricing for our private boat tours in Phuket will be dependent on
