Hi May49!

If you are not on a budget, just take them all :-) It is really worth every penny!!!

My review about Simba : "We went to Phi Phi and to Krabi. The owners, Geoff & Jenny are extremely nice and helpfull people. They own a beautiful and safe boat with good staff. This is for sure the best trip organiser on Phuket if you like to be on a luxurious boat for an extremely good price. I visited Samui last year and went also on a boat trip there, Simba is incomparable! They visit the most beautiful spots, away from the crowds, they have all the equipment for snorkelling and they serve a delicious lunch on the beach. I would recommend these trips to anybody, even with children!"

Hi all

I couldn't agree more with everybody's comments. Myself, wife and two daughters aged 13 and 16 used Simba for the Phi Phi trip on Tuesday which was the day we flew home!. Geoff and Jenny even helped to change our airport transfer details and organise some showers so that we didn't have to back track to Patong. We had a wonderful day with plenty of good scenery, snorkelling, food and drinks. After seeing some of the operators that i had considered hearding their bigger groups off the boats i'm pleased that we chose Simba. If you could get a group together i would even consider chartering them for a day which would give you even more freedom of choice for locations.

Once again, Thanks Geoff and Jenny for a wonderful day.

cheers

Shane

Hi Shane,

Pleased you and the family got home safely, put money on you guys sleeping all the way home!

Thanks for the write up,its always a plesure to have at least one Oz on board.

You guys did so much in thailand, i think a long write up is called for on TA.

All the best and hope to see you all next time.

Thanks

Geoff.

Hi we have just returned and also had a fantastic time with Simba tours. We did the phang na bag trip, the scenery was amazing and the visit to the fishing village was an eye opener. Unfortunately we didnt get to phi phi island as on the day we were going to book, 3 days before coming home, our youngest son was walking through the otop market and someone had left a glass shelf on the ground. He didnt see it and kicked it slicing his toes open. Off to Patong hospital for us rather than Phi Phi island. Not to worry, staff at hospital were great and no stitches required. Back to Simba, Jenny and Geoff were great company, really nice people and being Aussie/English they both speak english which is a huge bonus. I would recommend the Phang na tour and if you can afford to do phi phi as well go for it, as i heard from other people that we missed out on something great.

We are in Phuket for 3 weeks for our honeymoon from early March, staying at Sarojin, then crusing to Malaysia and Singapore, then back for a stay in the Andaman and then finally Phuket Pavillions.

We are looking for a boat trip and these guys look good. Thinking about booking but not sure what one, we have done phiphi with a trip round the island onn a speedboat before, and also been to James bond Island and the gypsy settlement.

Any suggestions, loved Phi Phi, james bond ok, but it was wet and misty the day we went.

Love snorkeling and photography....

Is it best to book in advance on the net or book in Patong?

I would recommend you to book the trip to Phi Phi, hopefully you have clear skies this time. They do lots of swimming and snorkelling on the most beautiful spots!

Just book directly with them through e-mail, that's the easiest way!

About the food => Yes, there is vegetarian food available, just mention it at your booking!

Enjoy!

Hi - well I went yesterday (29 Jan) to Phi Phi with Simba Sea Trips - def recommend it - Geoff and Jenny are really friendly, and its a really relaxed atmosphere.

We visited a few different islands and had lunch on Maya Bay, it was a lovely lunch too!

Everyone had a really good time.

Hi to anyone who went on yesterdays trip and enjoy the rest of your holidays!! Lucy (from the UK)

We have hired a private charter with Simba for our trip in March. Geoff and Jenny have been extremely helpful and very prompt in replying to my numerous e-mails! We have decided to go to the Krabi Island and am very much looking forward to it!

Have a great time whatever you do but would recommend Simba.
