⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth Every Cent – An Outstanding Phi Phi Islands Experience!
497nevb, October 2026
We’ve visited the Phi Phi Islands on a previous trip to Phuket, but I can confidently say that our experience with Simba Sea Tours was on another level! Firstly, the boat was noticeably more modern, exceptionally clean and comfortable compared with our previous experience. The crew were incredibly professional, genuinely friendly and attentive throughout the entire day. There was also an abundance of food, snacks and refreshments available, so we were certainly never left hungry! One thing that really stood out was the tour guides’ willingness to actually get into the water with us, helping us explore and pointing out things we otherwise might have missed. It’s these little touches that make such a big difference. A couple of recommendations: I highly recommend organising a private transfer to the departure point. Also, don’t be put off by the early start! Getting out on the water before the crowds arrive is fantastic, and the sea is generally much smoother in the early morning, making for a far more enjoyable boat ride. You’ll probably notice that Simba Sea Tours is considerably more expensive than many of the other Phi Phi Island tours available in Phuket. However, having experienced both, I can confidently say you absolutely get what you pay for. The quality of the boat, professionalism of the crew, attention to detail and overall experience make the extra cost completely worthwhile. If you’re considering a Phi Phi Islands tour, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simba Sea Tours. Five stars and worth every cent!
Response from the operator · simbaseatrips
Thank you for joining Simba Sea Trips on our Phi Phi Islands tour from Phuket, and for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It means a lot to hear this from guests who have done the trip before. We put real care into our boats, our crew and every detail of the day, and we’re glad you noticed the difference. Our guides will be very happy to read your words. Getting in the water with guests and pointing out the small things along the reef is one of their favourite parts of the day. You’re right about the early start, too. Calm morning water and time at each stop before the crowds arrive are why we set off when we do. Thank you for sharing your tips with future guests. We look forward to welcoming you back on the water on your next trip to Phuket. Warm regards, The Simba Sea Trips Team

Sunrise tour to the Phi Phi Islands
helenhV7417IF, September 2026
The pickup in Phuket went smoothly. Once at the harbor, you could have breakfast. Then we headed onto the speedboat. You could watch a great sunrise. Stops were made at various islands and snorkeling spots. At one of them, I was able to see blacktip reef sharks and a large sea turtle. I can highly recommend this tour. Another plus point is the limitation of the number of participants. The boat is not overcrowded, and that makes the excursion even more pleasant. It is important to mention that if you are prone to seasickness, you should definitely take tablets as a precaution. During our excursion, the sea was quite rough at times, and several people felt sick. Otherwise, you should not miss this tour. The crew also takes great care of all participants. A crew member came into the water with us at the snorkeling spot. Thanks for the great experience!
Response from the operator · simbaseatrips
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that everything from the Phuket pickup to breakfast at the pier and the sunrise went smoothly, and that you enjoyed exploring the different islands and snorkelling spots. Seeing blacktip reef sharks and a large sea turtle must have been an incredible highlight! We also really appreciate you mentioning the limited group size. We believe having fewer guests on board makes the experience more comfortable and allows our crew to give everyone the attention and support they need. As you mentioned, the sea can sometimes be quite rough, and we always recommend that guests who are prone to seasickness take appropriate precautions before the trip. We’re especially happy to hear that our crew was there to support everyone in the water and make sure guests felt comfortable and safe. Thank you again for your warm recommendation. We’re so pleased that you had such a memorable experience with Simba Sea Trips! Best regards, Andrea
