I was picked up. They offered breakfast at the marina then we took the boat for an hour to the islands. We were able to explore a few of them. Went snorkeling in a couple spots. Saw some amazing views. Then finished with lunch when we got back. Highly recommend. And our guide was incredibly nice and humorous!

    Itinerary

    Start your Andaman Sea adventure with pickup from your Phuket accommodation. Travel to the elegant Phuket Boat Lagoon Marina, board your vessel, and sail past the yachts, with breakfast along the way.

    You’ll be one of the first to step foot onto the pristine sands of Maya Bay, before admiring the limestone towers and emerald waters of Pileh Bay. Next up is Monkey Beach, so-called because of its macaque residents, where you’ll stop to admire the monkeys frolicking from afar.

    Your first snorkel stop is Viking Cave, where you’ll jump into the water and admire colorful marine life. After your second snorkel stop at Nui Beach, you’ll have time to relax on either Bamboo Beach or Koh Rang Yai, depending on the conditions.

    The tour concludes with a Thai buffet lunch at the upscale Soho Pool Club before your transport drops you back at your address.

    This was a wonderful trip. One of the best day tours my wife and I have ever experienced. The scenery was beautiful. The snorkeling was amazing. Shout out to our crew, Noi Noi, Dang Dang, and Wat Wat. They were very proactive in making sure that we were taken care of all day long from arrival to departure. There was a nice flow to the trip and stops were well timed. The early departure was worth it, as none of the stops were very crowded (although Maya Beach was starting to get busy as we were leaving. I highly recommend this trip.

    Amazing Day on the Water

    Tiffany_H, Mar 2026
    We went on the Phi Phi sunrise tour with another couple. It was an incredible tour. There were 11 of us on the speedboat. While you do have to get up early (5 am pickup), it was definitely worth it as you got to see the sunrise on the water, and we got to the sites before they got crowded. Sara was an excellent guide. She was very upbeat, inclusive, and sweet. We also really enjoyed the guy snorkeling with us as he showed our group lots of different wildlife in the ocean. Maya Bay was beautiful, the two snorkeling stops were fun, and the food provided was delicious. The water was choppy getting to Maya Bay in the morning. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour!

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We are delighted to hear that the early start was worthwhile and that you enjoyed the sunrise, quieter visits to the sites, and the overall experience on the Phi Phi tour. It is wonderful to know Sara made such a positive impression and that our snorkeling guide helped you discover the marine life along the way. We are also glad you enjoyed Maya Bay, the snorkeling stops, and the food provided. We appreciate your note about the choppy water and are pleased it did not take away from your overall experience. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable day on the water. Best regards, Andrea

    An Unforgettable Sunrise Masterpiece – The Ultimate Phi Phi Experience!

    Chernmie_C, Mar 2026
    Our private sunrise tour of the Phi Phi Islands was, quite simply, the highlight of our time in Phuket. From the moment we set off in the early hours, the level of professionalism and luxury was unmatched. The team’s expertise was evident immediately; they knew exactly how to time our stops to capture the most breathtaking sunrise views, away from the typical tourist rush. Every photo opportunity was perfectly curated. The hospitality was seamless—the selection of drinks and snacks throughout the day was impressive and plentiful, and both the breakfast and the concluding lunch buffet were top-notch and thoughtfully chosen. A massive shoutout to our lead guide, Sara and her team, whose knowledge and attentiveness made us feel like VIPs. Her passion and local insight added so much depth to the day. If you want a luxury experience that hits every mark, look no further!

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Unreal Sunrise Phi Phi Island Experience – Worth Every Penny

    bret_d, Mar 2026
    This luxury small group Phi Phi Islands sunrise tour from Phuket was hands down one of the best experiences of my trip. Everything was dialed in perfectly from start to finish. The pickup from my hotel was right on time, smooth, and comfortable, which set the tone for the day. Once we got to the boat, it was clear this was going to be a top-tier experience. The group was small, which made a huge difference. It felt personal, relaxed, and never crowded. I don’t think we even had a full 18 people on board. Momo and her team were absolutely incredible. They were friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone was taken care of the entire time. You can tell they genuinely care about what they do. On top of that, they were extremely knowledgeable about the islands, the scenery, and everything we were seeing along the way, which made the experience even more meaningful. Watching the sunrise over the Phi Phi Islands was something I won’t forget. Getting out there early ahead of the crowds made it feel even more special and peaceful. From the service, to the comfort, to the overall experience, everything was excellent. This tour is worth every penny, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, unforgettable day in Phuket.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

Catching the sunrise ahead of the crowds is always something special, and we’re so glad it left such a lasting impression. Thank you as well for highlighting the overall comfort and quality of the experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable day in Phuket! Best regards, Andrea

    Beautiful tour, started with a speed boat ride towards the Phi Phi Island while the sun rising on the horizon.

    Simba Sunrise tour to Phi Phi Island is the best

    Adelina_S, Mar 2026
    Very well organized and well fed before, during and after the tour. Few number of people on the boat,we had 15 but max is up to 18, makes it very comfortable. Sara our tour guide, the Captain and one other assistant are all very friendly and took care of us very well. Highly recommend this tour, higher price well worth it!

    Fantastic trip with great snorkelling

    Carolyn_C, Mar 2026
    It is an early start but worth it to avoid crowds. Check the tide times if you want plenty of space on beach at Maya. High tide could be interesting!

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you for sharing your helpful insights! You’re absolutely right—an early start really does make a difference for enjoying the islands with fewer crowds. And great tip about checking the tide times, especially for Maya Bay—it can completely change the experience. We’re glad you found it worthwhile and hope to see you again for another fantastic trip! Best wishes, Andrea

    Best Phi Phi island experience

    Steve_P, Mar 2026
    This tour is amazing!!!!! Sara - our guide on Semba 7 and the crew (boat driver and deck hand) were amazing. We did the early tour and when they stopped for the sunrise and turned the boat so everyone could get pictures, that is when I knew we made a good decision. Sara was more than happy to take photos of my wife and I any time we asked, her photos were amazing, My wife and I highly recommend this tour

    A Perfect Trip

    Kim_B, Mar 2026
    Perfect from start to finish. An early 5am start in a nice car & good driver. We were dropped off at the Soho Club & introduced to our guide. We had a light breakfast with tea & coffee. We saw the sunrise over the islands, snorkelled twice, saw baby reef sharks & monkeys then enjoyed an hour of relaxation on a private island. Back to the Soho club for 1pm where we had a very nice lunch. Then taken back to our hotel. The staff were amazing! A perfect day 😎

    Excellent tour of Phi Phi Islands

    Rekha_C, Mar 2026
    Great trip. We left quite early. I was picked up in my lobby at 5:20 AM. Super fun speed boat ride to Phi Phi, stopped in Maya Bay. Very picturesque, quite full of people. But clean and nice scenery. Saw some baby black-tip sharks in the bay. You are not allowed to enter the water here. Then to snorkel which wa amazing! Visibility was excellent and saw many, many colorist. We were constantly surrounded by a school of yellow fishes. Saw another baby black tip shark, clown, fish, parrot fish, and some beautiful fluorescent clams. This was the highlight of the tour. We took a brief stop at a Cove to see some cliff monkeys then onto a second snorkeling location, where the visibility was not quite as good, but the water is still very lovely to swim around in. We then stopped at a respite Island for swimming or resting that had a small café, bathroom, and showers. The beach was beautiful, but unfortunately, there was quite a bit of trash on it. We motored back to the marina where we were served a very nice lunch. Crew and Guide were great. The equipment seemed to be in good shape. Overall I highly recommend this trip and I was very glad I spent the day away from Phuket in some beautiful, clear, warm water.

    Great Tour, Crew, and Scenery

    James_C, Mar 2026
    Beautiful sunrise on the water followed by some amazing scenic stops. Great to get to Maya Bay before the real crowds showed up (which were just arriving as we were leaving). the first snorkeling spot was great and we got to see a few white tipped sharks as soon as we got in the water. The snorkel stop at Monkey Beach was not as good...there were more fish waiting right at the boat waiting to be fed (as many other tour boats were doing) than there were closer to the shore) where we snorkeled. But the scenery was still gorgeous. And the last stop at the semi-private beach was extremely refreshing, with a great lunch back at the marina. Best of all is the crew and tour operator. Simba Tours,Noi Noi our guide, and our captain and crew were so attentive and took care of whatever we needed.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Dear James, Thank you very much for your detailed review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful sunrise and the scenic stops throughout the day, as well as arriving at Maya Bay before the larger crowds. It’s great to know that the first snorkelling spot was such a highlight and that you were able to see white tipped sharks right away — that’s always a special experience. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the snorkelling at Monkey Beach. As you noticed, some other tour boats feed fish in the area, which can affect the natural behaviour of the marine life. As a company, we do not feed fish as we aim to respect and protect the marine environment as much as possible. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the final beach stop and the lunch back at the marina. Most importantly, your kind words about the team mean a lot to us. Noi Noi, the captain, and the crew all work hard to ensure guests feel well looked after throughout the trip, so we will be sure to share your feedback with them. Thank you again for choosing to travel with us. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best regards, Andrea

    Amazing Day Out. Must Do.

    Nick_A, Mar 2026
    An absolutely amazing experience. The trip was fantastically well planned, organised and executed by the team that made this day perfect. The crew and Guide could not do more to ensure you had a good day, with plentiful food and drinks throughout the trip. The trip took in spectacular views and had the right balance of scenery, swimming, snorkelling and chilling on the beach in some incredible locations. An absolute must, and a day that you will remember for ever. A must do for anyone, the trip was amazing and so were the team.

    Value for money

    Anna_B, Mar 2026
    The staff was very friendly and pleasant. The trip included light breakfast and several snacks on the way, which was nice. The trip started on time, which I appreciate. Nevertheless, the crowds on Maya beach were not avoided although it might have been worse later on. The boat indeed did not exceed the maximum number of people stated. Comparing our boat with the other boats that were arriving at the places, which were crowded and taking under consideration the overall experience, we were pleased with the tour. We were excited about the snorkeling at Monkey beach. However, the second snorkeling on another beach (can’t remember the name) was not worth it. I am not excited about the general tour experience as you stay for short periods on the spots and then you go. Everything feels a bit rushed and not in your control. But I knew that. So as far as boat tours experiences go I think this is one of the best that someone can book for a short phi phi islands tour.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that you found the team friendly and pleasant, that the trip started on time, and that you enjoyed the light breakfast and snacks provided throughout the day. It’s also great to know you felt comfortable with the boat numbers and, when comparing with other operators, were pleased with the overall experience. Regarding the pace of the tour, we would like to clarify that this is an 8-hour full-day experience. Many of our guests comment that they do not feel rushed, but we do understand that island-hopping tours naturally involve moving between locations. This allows guests to experience several highlights of Phi Phi in one day, while also working around tides, marine park regulations, and changing conditions. Snorkelling conditions in particular can vary from day to day — and even hour to hour — depending on tides, visibility, and currents. Our crew always assesses the conditions and selects the best available spots on the day to ensure safety and the best possible experience. As you mentioned, locations can change accordingly. With regard to Maya Bay, while we operate early departures specifically to minimise crowds, it is one of Thailand’s most iconic destinations and can never be completely empty. That said, visiting earlier in the day generally provides a far better experience than arriving later with the larger tour groups. We appreciate your honest perspective on the structure of boat tours in general, and we’re grateful that you still consider this one of the best options available for a Phi Phi tour. That means a great deal to us. Thank you again for choosing to travel with us. Best regards, Andrea

    Best thing we did on our trip, do not miss out!

    Paige_R, Feb 2026
    This was the most amazing experience. We had MoMo as our guide as well as Captain Dan. She was amazing! Took lots of great pictures for us and knew everything about the islands. Captain Dan did an amazing job driving that boat thru the rough waters! I am so glad we did the morning sunrise trip would recommend it a million times over!

    I was picked up. They...

    Quincy_C, Feb 2026
    I was picked up. They offered breakfast at the marina then we took the boat for an hour to the islands. We were able to explore a few of them. Went snorkeling in a couple spots. Saw some amazing views. Then finished with lunch when we got back. Highly recommend. And our guide was incredibly nice and humorous!

    Snorkeling was a highlight

    Nathan_S, Feb 2026
    This was a wonderful trip. One of the best day tours my wife and I have ever experienced. The scenery was beautiful. The snorkeling was amazing. Shout out to our crew, Noi Noi, Dang Dang, and Wat Wat. They were very proactive in making sure that we were taken care of all day long from arrival to departure. There was a nice flow to the trip and stops were well timed. The early departure was worth it, as none of the stops were very crowded (although Maya Beach was starting to get busy as we were leaving. I highly recommend this trip.

    100% worth the money and early start

    Jaskirat_S, Feb 2026
    One of the key highlights of my trip to Thailand. It’s expensive and an early start but was absolutely worth it in both respects. Really luxurious feel, the transport and boat was smooth, the food was great with constant snacks being provided, the guide was fantastic, and the experience on the islands, snorkelling and swimming, are all memories that will stay with me
