    About Phang Nga Bay

    Phang Nga Bay, between Phuket and Krabi, is one of Thailand’s most iconic landscapes. Smooth emerald water, towering limestone karsts, hidden lagoons, and mangrove channels make it a peaceful, dramatic place to explore.

    Simba Sea Trips operates both shared and private tours through Phang Nga Bay, timing each stop to avoid the crowds and show the bay at its calmest.

    Limestone Cliffs & Hidden Hongs

    Phang Nga Bay is famous for its karsts — vertical cliffs rising straight from the sea. Many islands hide interior lagoons called hongs, accessed through narrow sea caves. When tides allow, Simba guests paddle into these quiet rooms by kayak, surrounded by still water and jungle-covered rock walls.

    James Bond Island

    The famous Khao Phing Kan, better known as James Bond Island, is a key landmark in Phang Nga Bay. Simba Sea Trips visits during quieter times for better photos and a more relaxed experience.

    Kayaking & Scenic Cruising

    Sheltered water makes the bay ideal for smooth cruising and calm kayaking. Guests enjoy birdlife, mangroves, narrow cave passages, and endless views of limestone towers — all in peaceful conditions.

    Koh Panyee – Floating Village Culture

    The bay is home to Koh Panyee, a Muslim fishing village built on stilts. Guests see the floating football pitch, wooden houses, and local life from the water. Select private charters may include time to walk through the village.

    The Simba Experience

    With early departures, small groups, and carefully timed routes, Simba Sea Trips offers a quieter, more personal way to explore Phang Nga Bay — one of the most cinematic seascapes in Thailand.

    Awesome day out

    We had a fantastic day tour with excellent communication and friendly, professional staff. The trip was well-organised, with a light breakfast, fresh fruit and drinks, and a delicious Thai lunch on a remote island. Highlights included a unique cave tour, relaxing canoeing, photo stops at James Bond Island, refreshing swims, and time on a deserted beach. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience with our small group of eight and highly recommend this company.

    Horrible felt rushed paid alot for nothing

    I was disappointed in this trip. I went last year and this tour was amazing. Moe was guide last year she was just fun and just full of life. This year I brought my mom thinking it would be the same. The prices went up from last year. The tour felt rushed, we didnt go to all the islands, the guides didnt take pictures of the families or friends, it was just not exciting at all. The mood just felt somber. They rush you when your eating lunch because your grab is there. Just the whole things was a mess and thr group was alot bigger this year. It was a waste of money.
