    What Guests Say About This Tour

    TripAdvisor★★★★★

    Amazing! There were many...many tour companies with all sorts of boats but I am so glad I took the tour with Simba. I actually took the tour on Dec. 23, 2023! and the guide the crew on the boat were amazing, hard working and very pleasant people. Especially the food! I love Thai food and I can assure you the cook for this company is one of the best I have ever seen. Thank you Simba for a great tour.

    Fabulous tour from start to finish. We were picked up at 4 40am, getting out to the islands before all the crowds and only 11 guests on board. The team were warm and very attentive. Our female tour guide was so full of energy and was hilariously passionate about helping us capture those memorable pics! Snorkeling we saw numerous baby sharks (and even a 1.5m+ one eeekkk!) and a cuttlefish. This was hands down the best island tour we've been on, topped up regularly with delicious snacks and drinks and finishing with a tasty lunch. Would recommend!
