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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
