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.

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 is an 8-hour very special and exclusive tour by speedboat that has been designed exclusively to avoid the masses with multilingual and certified guides. There is something you should know about the conventional James Bond Tour: usually you go by car to Phang Nga, losing 3 to 4 hours on the road, we take you there by the sea with our speedboat. The James Bond tour is one of the most overcrowded and touristy sea tours in Thailand. Appreciate the amazing islands around the Phang Nga province where you can enjoy privacy and a Thai buffet lunch on a quiet beach and snorkel around Krabi islands. The focus is to visit 3 different areas (James Bond, Hong islands, and Koh Yao Noi) avoiding peak hours and it is limited to a maximum of 17 travelers. 

Inclusions: For pick up point and time please see Additional Info and Schedule & Departure Point, All Fees and Taxes, Use of snorkel equipment, Insurance, Snorkeling and fish ID briefing, Life Jackets, Multilingual and certified guides, Buffet lunch on the beach (Veg option upon request), Fresh fruit, Soda, Mineral water and coffee, By Speed Boat, For all hotels in Ao Nang there is a meeting point and after the tour drop off at your Hotel
