The Best Way To See The Phi Phi Islands
Join Simba Sea Trips’ highly-rated Phi Phi Island tour from Phuket and experience the spectacular islands in all their glory. Considered by many to be the most desirable tourist destination in all of Thailand, our boat tour gets you there ahead of the crowds so you can soak in the surroundings in ultimate comfort.
Phi Phi Sunrise Tour
We provide you with the chance to see everything within the region that you desire, all in the comfort of our fully-maintained speedboat that is guaranteed to get you there in record time! Cruising past the coral reefs, stunning cliffs and many other eye-opening sights (including Maya Bay) in ultimate comfort really does make all the difference.
Phi Phi Island Tour From Phuket
While six islands make up this region, we center our Phi Phi Islands adventure on the two main islands that are world-famous for their natural beauty and provide maximum value for money. Why waste valuable time on the islands that don’t provide the most eye-opening experience? It is, for this reason, that we journey to Phi Phi Don, the largest island, and a destination that provides incredible swimming, diving, and snorkeling opportunities in the shadows of some of the most spectacular surroundings you’re likely to witness.
In addition to Phi Phi Don, we focus our attention on Phi Phi Leh, the smaller of the two main islands, and home to Maya Bay. This cozy bay is world-famous for its serene beauty and has recently reopened and is finally welcoming back crowds following a lengthy period of closure.
During our Phi Phi Island Tour, you will have plenty of opportunities to dive into the idyllic turquoise waters of the islands, as well as we will put the anchor down and allow you to get maximum value for your once-in-a-lifetime experience. So don’t delay, join us on the most intimate Phi Phi Island tour. Book in advance via our website to ensure you get your seat!
*** During the months of August, September, the Phi Phi National Park officers close Maya Bay to tourists to allow some annual rejuvenation to the ecosystem. Simba are fully supportive of this decision to help in the longevity of tourism for this beautiful bay. The stunning Bamboo Island is visited instead during these months. Be amongst the first of the day to leave footsteps on the beach. Relax and swim whilst our crew prepare your picnic breakfast.***

Phi Phi Island Tour’s first glimpse of magic - Maya Bay
Phi Phi Maya Bay has been a “must see location” for the majority of Thailand tourists for decades and as such, suffered from its overuse. Thankfully the National Park prohibited from 2018 to the end of 2021, any boat from dropping anchor in the bay and alighting at the beach, to allow the gorgeous coral island treasures, wildlife and environment time to recover. Fully recovered, Maya Bay is now open for business once more and keen to show off its beauty to a whole new audience.
At Simba, you will be one of the first boats to arrive at this awe-inspiring bay to enjoy placing the first footprints of the day into its fine white sand beach. Breakfast will be served here on the beach.
The Phi Phi Island tour’s emerald crown, Pileh Lagoon - Tide Dependent
Our next port of call on our sunrise tour is the gorgeous Pileh Lagoon (tide-dependent). Another highly popular tourist destination and usually busy but don’t despair. Thanks to our early start time, while most crowds are headed to Maya Bay we are exiting on our way to beat the crowds to Pileh Lagoon.
It is a wonderful attraction, an emerald green lagoon surrounded by high limestone cliffs on 3 sides, and one of the world’s most gorgeous natural swimming pools. Be sure to have your camera ready to capture the extremely spectacular view of the emerald waters of the islands merging with the caves and the blue clear horizon as the speedboat coasts into the Lagoon.
Experience the Phi Phi Islands from underwater - 1st Snorkeling Stop
It is now time to explore the magical underwater world of Phi Phi Islands with some swimming and snorkeling during our speed boat tour. Our experienced staff will anchor up in an area where marine life waits to greet you.
We supply all your snorkeling equipment including fins and flotation aids such as life jackets and swim noodles. The staff are always there (in and out of the speedboat) ready to help any first-timers with encouragement, and advice when needed.
You are guaranteed to see a lot of friendly fishes who are more than happy to share their waters with you and, if you are lucky, we are sometimes visited by dolphins during our snorkeling stops.
Phi Phi Islands have their secrets - Macaque Monkeys and the Viking Cave
Our Last Stop on the Phi Phi Leh leg of the tour is to the mysterious Viking Cave. This limestone cave is one of the most notable sites on the island and is one of the most requested tourist attractions from visitors.
The Viking Cave possesses unique drawings on the Southern and Eastern walls, and this naturally formed seaside cave appears out of place (for all the right reasons) at the foot of a limestone cliff. Guests will also be able to observe swifts’ nests in their hundreds. While the site is spectacular and is sure to amaze, please be aware that we are unable to walk into the cave due to local regulations.
While on this stop we will also take the time to stop by one of the local beaches for a viewing of the monkey troops. For our own safety, the team insists we all stay on the boat whilst viewing these cute Long-tailed Macaques. For animal lovers, this is one of the most memorable moments that takes place during the tour.
Islands and Crystal Waters - 2nd Snorkeling Stop
It’s time to head on to make our second snorkeling stop. This time we’ll try to find a spot that offers different marine life to what was previously seen. You can choose to say hello to the curious fish again with your second snorkeling adventure, take an extended swim or simply relax on the boat and enjoy the sunshine. We are flexible with our speedboat tour itinerary to ensure that our Phuket customers have the best day possible.
It is at this stage of the day that our guests are starting to get very excited about all that they’ve seen and all that is still to come. This is the prime opportunity for some memorable photos with your fellow tour guests as we saviour the surrounding landscape that we are fortunate enough to be gazing upon.
Tours demand relaxation time - Bamboo Beach or Koh Rang Yai
Our penultimate stop on your Phi Phi Islands tour is selected dependant on the conditions of the day and our crew choose between one of two idyllic tropical islands. Here, you can swim, bathe, relax and take in the sights. Both are true paradise islands with crystal clear waters, picturesque palm trees, and soft white sand.
Take your time to enjoy the island’s beauty at one of the most stunning beaches in the world and end your day the right way.
A taste of the Phi Phi Islands - Lunch time
Finish your trip to Phi Phi with a well-deserved lunch at our popular pool club restaurant. Many travelers have enjoyed the scrumptious thai-style lunch with all the local flavours of the island.
You’ll have the opportunity to enhance your culinary palette in one of the most beautiful pool club settings imaginable and will provide all the nourishment you need after a long day undertaking sea activities.
