    Best day of our holiday!!
    Wow!! What a great day. 6 of our family took this boat trip yesterday.
    The whole day from start to finish was extremely well organised. We were picked up from our villa on time early in the morning. Arriving at the Royal Phuket Marina, staff were there to greet us and tell us exactly what we needed to do and where we needed to go to check in.

    Everyone is split into groups. There were about 20 people in our group.
    After waiting a short while for all of the other people to arrive, Helen introduced herself as our guide for the day, and we followed her to our boat.

    It took about an hour to get to our first stop. Where we had about 50 minutes to swim, snorkel, and relax on a lovely beach on Bamboo Island. There were quite a few other boats there, but it didn’t feel crowded. We then had another snorkeling stops, followed by a lovely lunch stop at a beach hotel.
    We then went to Maya Bay, made famous by the film The Beach. It was lovely, but quite crowded with other tourists. Then we were taken to a lagoon where we were able to chill out in the calm water for a short while before heading back to the Marina.
    From start to finish was about 7 hours, quite a long day. But at no stage did we feel rushed, nor did we feel like we stayed at any one location for too long. It was organised perfectly.

    A great experience, probably the highlight of our holiday and memories we will have forever.

    Beautiful Islands with Room for Improvement
    The Phi Phi, Maya Bay, and Khai Islands Premium Trip from Phuket was a good experience overall, though there were a few areas that could be improved.

    The day started with a nice breakfast at a beautiful and well-organized marina, setting a positive tone for the trip. The boat was stocked with water, fresh fruits, and soft drinks, which was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated throughout the day.

    The islands we visited were stunning, with Maya Bay being a standout for its breathtaking scenery. However, the tour felt a bit rushed at times, leaving little time to fully take in the beauty of each location. Additionally, the boat was overcrowded, which made the journey less comfortable than expected.

    Lunch was another area that fell short. While the food was fine, the selection was limited, especially when it came to protein or meat options. A more diverse and balanced menu would have made the experience much better.

    Despite these shortcomings, the staff was friendly, and the natural beauty of the islands made the trip worthwhile. With a few adjustments to pacing, seating, and meal options, this tour could be truly exceptional.

    Brilliant Boat Tour - A Must do if in Phuket!
    This is a must do trip if you visit Phuket! Very well organised and excellent communications before and during the tour. Your every need is catered for and the guys on board take great care of you. Tony is a star host, informative and witty. Beautiful scenery around the Phi Phi islands with several stops for visits, swimming and snorkelling. Plenty of fish and monkeys to see. Lunch is lovely too. This will be one of the highlights of your holiday.

    Early morning visit to Phi Phi island - a must do!
    Don’t let the early start put you off!
    Collected from hotel on time. Arrived at marina to complete the admin forms then got on the boat just as day was breaking.
    Boats are fast and do bounce through the waves but all part of getting to the islands.
    Dee and the team on Simba8 looked after us really well. Watched the sunrise and the boat pilot stopped so we could enjoy the moment then on to Phi Phi.
    Not too busy in Maya bay which was well organised. Had breakfast on the beach, photos and back on the boat.
    A stop to see the monkeys (you don’t get off for this) then a couple of snorkelling stops. One of the crew acted as guide to show the amazing fish and coral. Had an hour on a beach before getting back to the marina for some tasty lunch.
    Great day, great crew and well organised

    "Scenic and Well-Organized Trip – Luck Matters for the Best Seats!"
    The trip was well-organized and enjoyable. The boat was comfortable, and the service was good. However, seating arrangements are pre-allotted, and your experience can depend on where you’re seated. If you’re lucky enough to get a front corner table, it offers the best views and ambiance.

    That said, everything else about the trip was great – the scenic views, the activities, and the overall experience. A worthwhile adventure for anyone looking to explore James Bond Island in comfort!

    The trip was organized nicely and well planned. There was enough water, soft drinks, cookies, food on the boat for the entire day. Everyone on the boat enjoyed the trip. Special thanks to the team on the boat for their availability and hospitality. Highly recommended.

    Worth it for a full day
    Full day with lots to see and do. Worth it however perhaps one too many island visits. Lunch was excellent. We travelled by speedboat which is rough if you have a bad back and the sea is choppy.

    A great day out on the water
    Had an awesome time on this tour! Our guide Boi was great 😁 plenty of soft drinks, juice and water on board to help yourself. Visited a lot of cool spots, our guides were very charismatic and fun ☺️ only thing is upon arrival at the marina we had to wait 1hr+ before we could get on the boat and there wasn’t any aircon in the room which was very packed with other travellers 🥵

    Great day in Phi Phi - definitely recommend!!
    Wonderful day!! We did the early-bird option with a 4:30AM pickup, and let me just say the day made this early wakeup well worth it! We started the day with a stop on a close island (abut 25 mins in) to watch the sunrise and eat breakfast. The island has a bunch if kittens that love to greet and cuddle visitors!

    The rest of the day was only up from there - got to Maya Bay before the crowds, swam in a lagoon, snorkeled, and got to relax on Bamboo island. The lunch stop provided was also great - buffet style, so more than enough food, and got to relax at the resorts pool/beach before continuing on.

    We had amazing weather so the ride was not rocky at all - they did warn us of sea sickness if it got choppy, but seems we lucked out.

    Our guide, Sea, and the rest of the crew were all amazing and super friendly! Would definitely recommend booking here

    Perfect.
    This excursion was definatly the highlight of our trip to Thailand. The tour was organized and well structured. No waiting at locations and travel time between activities was 15 minutes or less. Although the bioluminescent plankton is advertised as the highlight of the trip and it was definatly very interesting, all the activities were great, including the kayaking, the swimming and the walk through the caves. Dinner was really good too and at an interesting location, a fishing village inhabited by Indonesian settlers 250 years ago. Open air restaurant right on the water. Our guide, Teddy was funny and gave just enough information to give you a better understanding without boring you to death. The boat was newer and running twin Mercury 250s to get us were we needed quick and they didn't overbook the boat and cram us. I felt bad for some of the other outfits using poorly shaded wooden long boats. This trip for our family of 4 cost us just over $500 but was definatly worth it. Highly recommended.
