Samet Nangshe: Truth be told, many of our guests raise an eyebrow at our
early departure times. Arriving just after dawn to the sunrise spectacle that is Samet
Nangshee, any doubts immediately give way to audible gasps of amazement,
followed by smiles and nods of appreciation for the early wake up call. Standing 800
meters above sea level, you will gaze in wonder at the beautiful bay below, with
immense limestone karsts acting as sentinels to the lushly vegetated coastline and
winding river delta. Sunrise and sunset are the best times to experience one of
Thailand’s, if not one of the world’s, most striking natural wonders. Very few locations
can rival the wildly inspirational Samet Nangshe at daybreak, so reserve your seat
with Simba today!

Awesome day! Caves, Kayaking, Mountain Climb, Beach, Lagoon, and More!
Had an amazing time! Kayaking and island hopping, private lagoon swimming, and a crazy cool hike to the top of an island (Wear shoes). Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see a lot of the islands and get in some caves.
Magical Day with Simba Sea Tours
My partner baulked at the prospect of getting out of bed at 4:40am. to catch the 5am pick-up car, so I booked this trip to go solo. So, with her quietly snoring, I met the car and we arrived at the harbour around half an hour before departure. We had a light breakfast at the Soho club before boarding and leaving at 6am. The early start is so worth it. We watched the sun rise while heading directly to Maya Bay. Our guide Momo was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly with a great sense of humour. Another bonus to leaving early is that you beat the crowds and as we were leaving Maya Bay the hoards were starting to arrive. We spent the day swimming and snorkelling at carefully selected spots and then had chilled beach time at Coconut Island before returning to a delicious buffet lunch back at the Soho Club. I thoroughly recommend this company. All of staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. The booking process was easy and their boats are clean modern and comfortable. Thanks team Simba.
Incredible boat trip from Phuket
Fantastic experience with Simba boat tours! A very early start, collected from the hotel and taken to the marina, which was beautiful. We had a nice breakfast and then set off on the boat to Maya bay. The staff on the boat were kind and organised. They made the day so enjoyable! We then went to two snorkelling and swimming spots with fish before going to a private beach. We finished by having a wonderful buffet lunch and then were taken back to our hotel. Excellent experience, we would recommend to all!
