About Phi Phi Don
The Phi Phi Islands are one of Thailand’s most stunning destinations, famous for dramatic limestone cliffs, emerald lagoons, white-sand beaches, and bright turquoise water. Located between Phuket and Krabi, the islands offer incredible scenery, excellent snorkelling, and unforgettable lagoons.
Simba Sea Trips explores Phi Phi with early-morning departures, giving guests quieter conditions and a more relaxed experience before the busy day begins.

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 👌
