Best Phi Phi Island Sunset Tour From Phuket
Sleep In, Dive In, and Chase the Sunset with Simba Sea Trips
Not a morning person? No problem. The Best Phi Phi Island Sunset Tour from Phuket is designed for travelers who prefer a more relaxed start to their adventure—without missing out on the magic. Departing mid-morning, this exclusive experience still brings you to all the iconic highlights of the Phi Phi Islands, but with a twist: we’ll aim to time our visits to avoid the peak crowds, thanks to years of insider knowledge and on-the-water experience.
You’ll explore the legendary Maya Bay at the end of the day when the large tour groups are on their way back already. We’ll glide through the emerald waters of Pileh Lagoon and admire the towering cliffs. It’ll be too busy to swim here but the beauty will have you mesmerised. You’ll snorkel vibrant coral reefs, and even get the chance to swim alongside harmless blacktip reef sharks—an unforgettable highlight of the trip. As the day winds down, enjoy a breathtaking Andaman sunset from the comfort of your luxury speedboat on the way back to Phuket.
While we can’t guarantee you’ll have every stop to yourself, we’ve learned how to time things just right to give you the best possible experience—without the sunrise alarm. Mother Nature may also not be playing ball with the sunset so we can’t guarantee you’ll see that.
Discover Phi Phi in a New Light
The Phi Phi Islands are a slice of paradise—six stunning islands filled with dramatic cliffs, turquoise lagoons, and world-famous beaches. On this later-start tour, we still visit all the must-see destinations like Maya Bay, Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, and the mesmerizing Pileh Lagoon, offering ample time for exploration, swimming, and snorkeling.
Comfort, Style, and Small Groups
Travel in comfort aboard our premium speedboat, designed for a fast, smooth ride across the Andaman Sea. With smaller group sizes, you’ll enjoy a more intimate experience and avoid the packed crowds that fill larger boats.
Snorkel with Sharks and More
This tour includes two guided snorkeling stops in crystal-clear waters, where you’ll have the chance to encounter colorful marine life and, with a bit of luck, blacktip reef sharks—completely safe and an incredible thrill. All snorkeling gear is provided, and our friendly guides are on hand to assist beginners and ensure everyone feels confident in the water.
Wrap Up Your Day with a Sunset to Remember
As we cruise back to Phuket, sit back and relax while the sky turns golden. There’s no better way to finish a day in paradise than with a sunset view over the sea.

Listen to the gentle sound of waves lapping at the shore and enjoy a little slice of paradise.
Viking Cave and Monkey Beach
Cruise by the mysterious Viking Cave, home to ancient wall paintings that might just be depictions of Viking ships! While you can’t enter (it’s guarded by armed security to protect the valuable nests of the swallows that live there), it’s still an intriguing sight. Then, it’s on to Monkey Beach, where playful monkeys might put on a show for you by diving into the water. No landing here—it’s safer to enjoy the monkey antics from the comfort of the boat!
Pileh Lagoon
Welcome to Pileh Lagoon, a hidden emerald gem surrounded by towering limestone cliffs. As we arrive, most of the crowds have thinned out, but this natural wonder is still too busy for us to drop anchor. Snap away with your camera because this is one of the most beautiful swimming spots on the planet. The emerald waters, dramatic caves, and clear blue horizon make for picture-perfect memories.
Shark Bay
Brace yourself for some jaw-dropping sights at Shark Bay! Drift through vibrant coral gardens and come face-to-face with some of the largest fully grown reef sharks in the area. Don’t worry—they’re just curious onlookers, more interested in their surroundings than in us. Alongside these majestic creatures, you might also spot clownfish, moray eels, giant starfish, and countless other colorful species. It’s a thrilling underwater adventure you won’t want to miss!
The Magical Maya Bay
Arrive at Maya Bay just in time to catch it in its most peaceful state. With the daytime crowds heading back to Phuket, you’ll have this iconic paradise almost to yourself. Wander the pristine sands, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and maybe even spot some baby black-tip reef sharks without the usual hustle and bustle. Enjoy the serenity of one of Thailand’s most breathtaking locations, made famous by the movie The Beach.
Sunset over the Andaman Sea
As the sun begins to dip, enjoy a spectacular sunset over the Andaman Sea while we whisk you back to Phuket. Sip on a cold beer or alcopop and snap some photos of the vibrant colors lighting up the sky. It’s the perfect way to capture memories that will last a lifetime as we cruise back to the marina.
