Yes, the price may be double others but honestly it was worth the money. The crew and guide Dee were amazing, it was really well organised from the food, drinks and snacks to providing dry bags and mats to sit on. Just remember to bring your own towels, sunscreen and cash for the last stop where you can buy beer and extra snacks if you want. The small boat and tour size was really appreciated and getting to places like Maya Bay as the first ones there made the early morning worth it. Sunrise was spectacular. The crew even give you floaties if you aren't a confident swimmer and swim with you snorkelling to point out wildlife. Hotel pick up was seamless. Awesome day.

This day trip was totally worth it. The views are beautiful and the crew takes you to the destination early, so the crowds are much less. The service on the boat was exceptional and the crew was very respectful. Fresh fruit, snacks, and lunch provider and it was all good. The boat is a speed boat so it is not very comfortable.

We did two tours with Simba. They were great! The early hotel pick ups were a bit of a challenge while on holiday but totally worth it. At James Bond island we were one of only two groups there. Their boats were more comfortable than the long tails and smaller groups than many of the other powerboat tours. The staff were great, very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They took great care of us on the boats and in the water. The locations they took us to were stunning. and to top it off we were fed very well throughout the day. Would definitely go with Simba again.

The tour was great, number of people was 9. Food on board was great; soda drinks too. not too long, but enough to see all things. ended at a private beach. enjoyed it

Momo and her team were fantastic in ensuring everyone had a great time, providing excellent hospitality throughout. The highlights included the stop at Maya Bay, where they offered tea/water along with sticky custard rice or sticky coconut rice, and the first snorkeling spot, where you could witness amazing marine life.

Great experience, the agenda is well curated and we saw so many beautiful places! The tour guide Momo is amazing!

It’s a very well organized cruise. Pick up was on time. Nice boat, great crew and clean equipment. Was good to beat the crowds and get there early. Breakfast maya bay was fab! The last stop However at coconut island was so disappointing. It’s a polluted beach and we had no reason to be there. Not great for swimming. No one enjoyed that. I think maybe if they served lunch here then it would have made sense but otherwise absolutely useless stop. Such a shame.

Can recommend... excellent crew/guides, the areas we got to explore, snorkel, and swim were +++. The trip starts out early (pick up at hotel was a breeze) so we got to see the sunrise over the water as we were making our way to the island(s). You do beat the crowds as advertised. The crew knows the islands and waters and were excellent and patient with all of us. First rate and hope to do it again someday.

Amazing trip! Absolutely gorgeous, loved the boat ride there, all the stops were breathtaking, and we had a good amount of time in each spot.

It was an amazing experience from the beginning till the very end. Driver was on time, staff was very friendly. Food served in before, during, and after the trip was outstanding, we never felt we are missing anything. Momo, our guide, was the best, super friendly, helpful, cheerful. All places we visited were well worth it, and the hospitality and equipment provided by the team outstanding.

Fabulous, from the car with AC that picked us up, to the breakfast “snack” (including eggs and toast) at the marina, to the super-clean boat (they rinsed salt and sand off us after snorkeling/beach walks), to our INCREDIBLE guide, Momo, who was kind, funny, knowledgeable, and always took care of us in and out of the water (and went snorkeling over jagged rocks to find my friend’s RX glasses after they fell in the water - and she found them!). And of course the water was turquoise and warm, the fish and sea creatures amazing, the white sandy beaches inviting! Best of all we got to see the sun rise over the islands with only a very few other people, in a spot infamous for crushing crowds. I HIGHLY recommend the sunrise cruise with Simba.

Three of us set out early to see the sun rise and get to Maya Bay before the crowds. (we are watching The Beach tonight). What a fabulous place. We had a short sea swim behind Maya Bay, then headed to our first snorkelling spot. Plenty of varieties of fish. Though no monkeys came out to play the cruise in to the beach and the laughs with our guide were fun. We had another snorkelling stop in smooth water then headed to Ko Yang Yai island near Phuket for a relax, swim and drink. The trip was capped off with a good lunch and nice to meet the Owner Paul before being transported back to our hotel. Nearly everything including snacks was provided. Well worth it.

Clear water, kind crew, delightful snorkeling experience. The guide was engaging and helpful. Highly recommend this experience.

Tour started great!!! Dee was a super guide. Place we stopped to swim and snorkel were amazing. Early morning was great to avoid over crowding but sun wasn't in Maya Bay. Still beautiful! Food service from boat staff was great. Cold sodas too. The last stop, however, at Rang Yai Island was terrible. Trash all over the beach, monkey on a leash, messy. Food and drinks and weed available to purchase. Could not swim. Yuck. Final Thai buffet lunch back at club was great. N8ce to see so many healthy corals, fish, baby sharks!

The day was amazing from start to finish,breakfast on the beach to start, plenty of fruit water chocolate all day. Swimming ,Snokling. Finished back with a lovely lunch.We are both 70 and absolutely loved it.

Our guide MoMo was so friendly bright and vivacious she along with the rest of the crew made everyone in our tour group feel happy and comfortable. We enjoyed being in a fast comfortable boat with not too many people with shade and lots of fresh food whilst we enjoyed all the beautiful stops along the way. The snorkelling was great and we saw lots of different colourful fish, baby sharks and a sea snake. Definitely recommend going early and doing the sunrise tour to beat the crowds and some of the heat. It was a great day

Excellent experience with a knowledgeable and fun crew. The trip was exactly as promised. We beat the crowds, caught the sunrise, and still made 5 stops for exploring, snorkeling, etc.

Momo was a great tour guide! We had a lot of fun on this tour. Saw monkey and a ton of fish. Would recommend doing this tour for sure!

The best trip we did in the whole two week holiday! Amazing day out, beating the crowds was well worth it especially when snorkelling. As we were leaving you could see the millions of other travellers coming on the bigger boats, so glad we didnt have to battle them to snorkel with the reef sharks!

The staff were incredible. Everything was so well organised. They anticipate everything you might need, they even snorkel with you and point out all the types of fish etc. Plenty of relaxing time to swim too between stops. Going so early means everywhere is much more quiet and peaceful. Sunrise was beautiful to watch from the boat. Oh and you will definitely not go hungry. Highly recommend.
