    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 snorkeling 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 beach stop at a picturesque and rustic tropical island, Koh Rang Yai, followed by a yummy Thai lunch at our Soho Pool Club.

    What Guests Say About This Tour

    TripAdvisor★★★★★

    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.

    Dear Simba Tours Team, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for another fantastic experience following my recent Sunrise Phi Phi & Maya Bay tour. I have been travelling with Simba Tours since 2013, back when the company was under its previous ownership. Over the years, I’ve experienced tours under both the original and current owners, and what continues to impress me is the consistency of the experience and the standards you maintain. A few things have always stood out to me: • Professionalism from start to finish • A genuine customer-first approach • A team that clearly cares about creating memorable experiences rather than simply moving tourists from one location to another On this particular trip, Noi and his crew were exceptional. Their energy, charisma, humour, and ability to engage with guests made the day even more enjoyable. What impressed me most was the care shown towards guests who were nervous about the sea or snorkelling. I watched Noi personally enter the water with guests to help them overcome their anxieties and ensure they felt safe and comfortable. That level of care is rare and speaks volumes about the culture of your company. From time to time, I hear people comment that Simba Tours is more expensive than some other operators. Having travelled with many tour companies over the years, my response is always the same: there is a reason for the difference. With Simba, you are paying for professionalism, safety, organisation, quality, and an experience where guests genuinely matter. You’re not simply another number on a crowded boat. The attention to detail and customer care consistently justify the premium. After more than a decade of travelling with Simba Tours, it’s wonderful to see that the values that made me choose you in the first place are still very much alive today. Please pass my thanks on to Noi and the entire crew. They did a fantastic job and made what was already a beautiful day even more memorable.
