Had a great experience with amazing guides and staffes. Do not expect too far about having breakfast and lunch. I had a best Snorkeling in my life. Shouldve worn fins. Riding a speed boat was kinda scary when you leave, however, you are going to see yourself sleepzing in the boat when youre coming back.

Really enjoyed the whole day & I would definitely recommend it. The only thing I would say is that although James Bond Island is lovely, it is very small and not much there other than quite a few souvenir stalls all selling the same thing. What would have been good is somewhere selling ice cold drinks (as it was a very hot day) and we where there quite awhile.

We booked the crawl last week (friday 10/1/2020) for five of us It was a disaster It was a walking street pub crawl, but they changed to another street in the last minute. They sent the location map without hte name of the pub and we had to look around for morethan 1 hour to find the place ( after repeated email messages) the phone number they gave was not answering. In the end they send us to a bar which had less than 10 seats .They gave us each one shot of Sambuca- only if we buy one drink each. From there they sent to another bar in the same street and same experience. I had been to the pubcrawls in Bali, London,and Berlin.. it was great. But his Pattaya crawl was a great dissappointment and I will not reccomend it to any one

We booked this full day van with guide we were warmly welcomed by Woody our guide. He along with driver reached on time for pickup from hotel and we felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. We had great days there, which obviously also added up to the experience. Woody is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to all of us. All respect for Woody who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide.

My family and I (daughters 4 and 5) went on a private sunrise speedboat tour of the Phi Phi Islands. We did a lot of research and spoke to a number of companies before choosing Simba. We were not disappointed. We were met at the Marina just before 6am by the friendly staff and crew members. The boat was modern and clean and the crew were informative, professional and did everything they could to make it a special experience for the whole family. We saw the sunrise from the speed boat before visiting a quiet Maya bay, swimming in a crystal clear lagoon, snorkeling (and seeing Nemo) and then enjoying the white sands and clear water of Monkey beach. We had a very high quality sit down meal at a beach front restaurant and then had some more snorkeling time before a last stop at Bamboo Island, which was beautiful. The whole experience was fantastic and we have some very special memories to take away. Thank you to everyone at Simba Sea Trips for a paradise Phi Phi trip!

this tour is amazing, I never saw fishes this beautiful and sands this white, but not everything is perfect. The breakfast is good and with a lot of options, but the lunch is almost all spicy, so ask for a non spicy option and the dinner is ok. I would've like to stay more on the beaches, because in one you have lunch time 30 min, in the other 1 hour, but 30min are going in climbing up a rock and wait to take pictures. One maybe not so small thing is that some fishes are dangerous there, there is this one called titan trigger fish that if you step near his nest can get very aggressive and bite you a lot. We discovered it only when we came back to the hotel because no one told us, so if you see it don't get too close!
