We had a very good time! Visited many beautiful islands, went to the caves, kayaking, swimming, had very good food, the guide was very nice as well as the captain. Everything was well organized, enjoyable. We did beat the crowds so it is worth getting up early.

The tour was a complete success, 100%! We had a wonderful day and would like to thank you again, from the hotel pick-up, the entire tour to the return transfer. Everything was perfect, absolutely first-class! Harr, our guide, captain, Wat, and Mr Any were all fantastic. It was absolutely wonderful, the day was very exciting and entertaining. We would like to thank you again for everything, for your attentiveness, your friendliness, and your hospitality. Thank you so much for everything!

There were quite a few highlights. It was a fabulous trip. Because we left early in the morning there weren’t many other tourists at the places we stopped. Highly recommend

Our Small Group Phang Nga Bay trip with Simba Boat tours was excellent in every way. The pickup at our hotel was in a comfortable car, and the welcome at the marina included coffee and light snacks. Our guide Harry was a GREAT guide throughout the day, with good information about where we were going and what we'd be doing. And the crew of Captain Sid and Ang (sorry for the spellings) were excellent. And the trip and locations were amazing. We were always a step ahead of any crowds and never felt rushed...each stop gave us ample time to relax and enjoy. The breakfast on board of banana bread an

An amazing day. Can’t fault it. Harry the tour guide and the boat staff were excellent. Food and drink was plentiful. The itinerary was perfect. An early start is needed to beat the crowds and access the caves. Hard work getting up so early but definitely worth it. Highly recommended

If you hesitate which Phang Nga tour to take, just choose the this one and you will be satisfied for sure. Everything is well organised, food is superb and the tour plan avoids the crowds. Harry and the rest of crew are super friendly and provide a lot of information about the ecosystem of the Phang Nga bay. The boat is very fast, which minimises the time spent on travelling and maximes time you could use for sighseeing, staying on the beach or swimming in the sea. Absolutely fantastic day! :)

A brilliant day out. Harry and team were very professional and yet relaxed, sharing tips and stories while keeping us to schedule. The day ran like a well oiled machine, and they had really thought about what you need as a customer too. I’d definitely recommend Simba a a company and this trip in particular.

Incredible tour! Our early morning transfer (very nice car) waited for us at our hotel and took us to the pier, where light snack breakfast was served. We headed to the speedboat and met Harry our guide. Throughout the day we headed to various locations around the bay, starting off with a beach cave where Harry out many interesting features of the nature and was super helpful and happily took amazing photos of everyone. We then headed to James Bond Island, beating the crowds due to the early start time. Afterward we contributed on to a sea-canoe adventure at Hong Island, and got some beach tim

Our tour was great! Our guide was engaging, informative, and always offered to take photos of everyone. He even added us on WhatsApp after to send the photos he took of us on his phone later on. The tour was well organized, and felt like we spent the perfect amount of time at each location. Every time we left a location, more tour boats would be pulling up, so we were able to beat the crowds all day!

We had a really good day out in Phang Nga Bay with this crew. Harry was our guide and his English is very clear, which made things easy. He’s a nice guy and also really helpful with taking photos throughout the day if you want them. Captain Sit was great behind the wheel,he found that sweet spot between moving fast to get us to the islands before the big crowds and making sure the ride felt safe. Kim was also a big help on the boat and kept a good eye on the monkeys so they didn't get into our stuff. The cave exploration and kayaking were fun, and we had some time for a swim too. One big piece

Honestly this was the most beautiful trip I did in Phuket (adding to it phiphi island tour that I did with Simba also). I mean how can I start? Everything was perfect!!! harry was really great and all the staff so nice and kind, fruits drinks and snacks served the whole trip and we had a nice breakfast and very delicious lunch, the idea of getting there very early is perfect because we really avoided crowds, we were literally just us in the island , we enjoyed swimming a lot and enjoyed all the beautiful landscapes. Harry was a sweet! Taking us pictures everywhere haha. Thanks a lot Simbateam
