    About Bamboo Island

    Phuket is Thailand’s largest island and the main gateway to the Andaman Sea. With golden beaches, vibrant culture, quiet east-coast waters, and easy access to nearby islands, it’s the perfect base for exploring the region. Simba Sea Trips departs from Phuket’s sheltered east coast, offering smooth routes and early, crowd-free departures.

    Phuket East Coast – Calm Waters & Local Scenery

    Simba tours begin on the calm east coast, where mangroves, fishing villages, and wide bay views create a peaceful start to the day.

    Rang Yai Island – Relaxed Beach Stop

    Just minutes from Phuket, Rang Yai is a quiet island with soft sand and clear water. Simba often ends the Phi Phi Sunrise Tour here for swimming and beach time.

    Maiton Island – Clear Water & Reef Life

    South of Phuket, Maiton Island offers bright turquoise water and gentle reefs. Private charters may stop here when conditions allow.

    Koh Yao Region – Rural Coastlines

    Near Phuket, the Koh Yao Islands offer long beaches, fishing villages, and quiet scenery. Some Simba routes include a beachfront lunch on Koh Yao Noi or Koh Yao Yai.

    Why Explore Phuket with Simba Sea Trips

    Simba shows a calmer side of Phuket — early starts, small groups, smooth crossings, and relaxed island stops — making it one of the best ways to experience the region’s natural beauty.

    100% worth it

    We have done this tour twice now. Once in 2024 and again in 2026 - both times were excellent. I would recommend it to everyone. The early wake up is 100% worth it. This time we took my parents (in there late 70s) who had a great time also. The staff were very helpful.

    Brilliant day trip

    Excellent day despite the early start but this meant no queues or big groups we missed all that. We loved the trip Noinoi and his staff were brilliant and the lunch was fabulous too. James Bond Island and beyond so worth it and great value for money

    Fantastic excursion 👌

    It may have seemed an early start, but really was worth every minute. Everything was seamless from collection at hotel to drop off on return. It was really quite special setting off in the dark and watching the sunrise as we sped through the Andaman. Getting to Maya Bay before the crowds was ideal, our guide Josef and his colleagues were fun, friendly and professional. Stop offs and snorkelling were great. The snacks, breakfast and Thai meal at the end of the trip were all top notch. Highly recommend this company and would use again when visiting siting Thailand 👌
