Top Phuket Catamaran Cruises - page 2

When planning a trip halfway around the world, there are bound to be hits and misses. This was a HIT — and it’s not to be missed! The entire experience was professional and fun, and so well thought out. All of the little touches — snacks and drinks on arrival and well-paced throughout the day, even the provision of cold cloths, shower rinses, pool noodles, snorkel gear, taking photos for you, help on and off the boat — were perfect. The Simba team (Momo and the two captains) were a delight, fun, and helpful. Then there’s the scenery and experience itself. The water really IS that blue/green! The snorkeling was amazing — we saw many varieties of fish, coral, even a baby shark. Went to Maya Bay first (The Beach movie), then to two different islands to snorkel. Made a short stop at Monkey Island and managed to see one monkey. Then we headed to Coconut Island, a little paradise, where we spent an hour on the beach, sitting in the beach chairs, toes in the exquisitely soft sand. Then it was back to shore for a delicious Thai lunch at our starting point (a beach club at the marina). After lunch (and experiencing one of those famous Thai downpours at the end!), we were shuttled back to our hotel. White-glove service top to bottom. Yes, the 5am pickup time is early, but it was so worth it to pay a bit more for this luxury excursion with just about 18 people, and beat the crowds. Another nice touch we appreciated: one of our snorkeling stops had some trash and debris floating in the water (plastic bottles, things like that). We appreciated seeing Momo collect the trash she could in net bags they keep on board for that purpose. So: A resounding YES! If you can spring for this, do it. It’s such a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list experience that we’re glad to add to our travel journal.

Had a great private tour with Peter. He even taught me a few Thai words. Very kind and patient as I travelled with an infant, and tour was nice slow pace while seeing all on my list. Wat Chalong temple, Big Buddha, Phuket old town, and a scenic viewpoint for lunch. Just to note if travelling with an infant - I was told fine to bring my own baby car seat, but I forgot to ask for a vehicle with 3 point seat belt to install my car seat! We had to workaround that and make do. Highly recommend this tour!

Super fun trip, served fresh Thai dishes for lunch and dinner. Made in the boats galley. Kayak guide Sammie gave a incredible tourof Hong Island Cave. Everyone made a candle float and we paddled out lite and released all of them in a candle lick ceremony. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent value for money breakfast lunch and evening barbecue on board watching the sunset unlimited water and soft drinks provided all day with lots of snacks - all islands are beautiful with plenty of swimming and snorkelling towels life jackets and long tail boats into the caves all provided within the price - on team crew full of smiles and helpful and all times - fantastic company

I was visiting Phuket with family of 5 (2 kids, 1 grandma). Our cruise ship tendered at Patong Beach. AC arranged everything, including a van to take us from the jetty over the hill to the marina and back. The day was fabulous. The ocean can be a bit rocky but totally bearable. There is no other way to see the islands. The day was planned just right. Beautiful beaches and scenery. Good amount of swimming and snorkeling. Refreshments on the boat, excellent lunch on the big island. Everything great, we had a blast! Thank you Gigi and Marek, hopefully one day we will be back.

We recently used this car service and had a great experience from start to finish. The booking process was simple and everything ran very efficiently on the day. The car arrived on time, was very clean, and clearly well maintained, which made the journey comfortable and relaxing. Our driver was friendly, professional, and made us feel completely at ease. Most importantly, they drove very safely and smoothly, which we really appreciated. It’s always reassuring to feel confident in the driver. Overall, the service was reliable, pleasant, and exactly what you hope for when arranging transportation. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would happily recommend this service to anyone looking for a dependable and comfortable ride.

This was a great experience! We sat in the front of the speed boat and the water was pretty choppy but the captain kept it an enjoyable experience for us. We never once felt unsafe. They took us to many stops and explained a lot about the stops we made. Cin was a great tour guide! The pick up and drop off was very organized. My partner accidentally left her phone in the van on the ride home and the driver was kind enough to turn around and bring it back to us. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

Great experience! Went with 4 adults and 12 year old. Hotel pick up was a breeze with a nice comfy van with good AC. Drive to marina was maybe 30 to 45 minutes. At the marina, small snacks and drinks provided. At the marina, there is a chance to purchase items like water shoes or rent flippers. 2 of us renting flippers and 2 didn't. I liked them but I would say they are necessary. Boat ride was an hour out to the islands. The ride can be choppy so caution if you get sea sick easily. No problems with our group, which including one such person. First stop on Bamboo island where we swam. You must wear a life jacket here. I assume it's because the drop down off the beach into deeper water is immediate. But water is calm and relaxing. Lunch is at next island. You pull up to the non busy side and have an incredible view as you eat lunch. It's a buffet and really good! Save time to wonder though as the other side of island has so much going on and much busier! You'd never know if you don't go explore! One caution here, if the tide rolls out while your there, you may have to wade through waist deep water to get back on board. Not a problem at all for us, just FYl. Visit to maya bay is incredible. You can not swim here. But the sand is perfection. Like walking on flour. Great pictures! Probably will be very crowded. We attempted to see monkeys at monkey beach but none were out. On to snorkeling! Which was great! You're inside a ring of boats and it feels very safe. For novice, I highly recommend wearing life jacket. It will just be so much easier. We saw many many kinds of fish, sea slugs, even tiny reef sharks! Don't worry, no big sharks here! Ride back ended with surprise money sighting! Crew stopped so we could take picks. Big shout out to Tony and crew for an amazing day.
