Top Phuket Speed Boat Rentals - page 7

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.

Our guide, Moss, was very informative and organized. We knew what was happening every step of the way. Maya beach was very crowded but organized well to get everyone enough time to take their photos for the ‘gram and clear out. All the other stops were less fussy. You may get the option to hire a long tail boat at one of the stops, which I think is worth it to get a semi private swimming experience. The fish in the water are a little aggressive in nibbling at your legs. Bring water shoes if you plan to swim as the beach is rocky.

Absolutely loved our day trip with these guys! We booked the private tour for just the two of us - our guide Wa was brilliant. He came into the water to snorkel with us and led us into places away from the crowds and we saw squid, baby sharks and barracuda. Also stopped at different locations and an authentic Thai floating restaurant for lunch along the way. An absolutely magical day out that we will never forget.

A fantastic experience with Andaman Surprise (the tour operator). the team of Pong, Eli, Ben and driver were very friendly and efficient. The pickup was at 9 AM so time to have bfst and was like a 45 min drive. The boarding was in a very clean area in the Royal marina, The boat was not a catamaran but was a fairly decent size and very clean. The crew kept us nicely hydrated. The highlight of the trip was snorkeling near Bamboo island - it was calm blue water and lots of fish,. I am not a great swimmer so Ben was in the water wt me along wt a floatee and took me further into the water wt me holding on. Amazing service! The other amazing thing was the buffet lunch at Phi Phi island. - nice salad and lots of food options. If you are vegetarian, make sure to prebook. Things which could be improved: - there was only 1 snorkeling session (even though they said 2). - the Pi leh bay lagoon at the last location was overrated (too many boats) .. and Maya beach was avoidable - nothing there really - they could offer beer for sale on the boat! all in all, just LOVED the trip and made some new friends too!

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

This was an absolutely amazing experience and one of the highlights of my time in Phuket. The venue was very easy to find, which made getting there stress free. As soon as I arrived, the staff was already organized and ready to help. They quickly checked my ticket and personally brought me right to my seat, which was a really nice touch. I purchased a ringside seat and it was completely worth it. The seating was great and surprisingly very comfortable, which made it easy to relax and really enjoy the action. Being that close to the ring made the whole experience feel intense and authentic. The service throughout the night was excellent. Staff came around regularly offering drinks and food, and they were all super friendly and attentive. Everything felt well run and welcoming. The fights themselves were fantastic. The energy in the arena was incredible, and you could really feel the excitement of Muay Thai up close. It is not just a show, it is an experience. I had such a great time and would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Phuket. If you are thinking about going, definitely do the ringside seats. It makes the whole night unforgettable.

This was a fabulous day - fun and informative with a great lunch. Beware - this is not something I would recommend for someone who isn't in pretty good shape unless you don't mind walking the bike on a few of the steeper hills. It's a 10 speed bike (not an e-bike) . The majority of surface is paved but some compact dirt (those are the hill climbs) and relatively flat but what you have to account for is the heat and humidity. Im a mountain bike and roadie and 67 year old female in really good shape and after 25 miles I was pretty blown. On the other hand it was one of the most facinating rides through beautiful landscapes on a small island of 6k inhabitants where we explored fishing villages and rubber tree plantations and learned about the livelihood of people. Our guide was great and the 50 min boat ride to the island was great with the views of multitudes of small islands. I would strongly recommend it for those in good shape and don't mind sweating up a storm. There are several stops for cold drinks and respites.

This half-day tour was a great way to see Phuket and learn about its culture and history. We visited scenic viewpoints, Wat Chalong, a cashew factory, and Old Town Phuket. We couldn’t go up to the Big Buddha due to a mudslide, but still got a good view nearby. Our guide, Daisy, was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Phuket. Pickup was on time, transportation was comfortable, and the pace was just right. Highly recommend if you want a solid introduction to Phuket in a short amount of time.
