Highlights
- Simba Sea Trips - Start your day at our office with a briefing and enjoy breakfast snacks, tea, and coffee to keep you energized until breakfast on the beach.
- Soho Pool Club - Phuket’s only 5-star marina. Admire the stunning yachts as we set off on our adventure into the Andaman Sea.
- Hong Islands - Pristine white sand and sparkling waters
Our adventure begins at our first island destination, Koh Hong, which is about a 40-minute boat ride from Royal Phuket Marina. The Koh Hong Island tour offers an early swimming stop in a small bay and provides breathtaking photo opportunities—the first of many. The island’s spectacular views are just the beginning of the Krabi island tour.
-
Hong Islands - Hong Lagoon
Next on our Krabi tour is Hong Lagoon, known for its stunning setting and turquoise waters. We take a 10-15 minute boat lap around the lagoon. The merging point of the lagoon and the island is simply breathtaking, offering spectacular visual experiences and postcard-worthy photo opportunities. This island is one of the most beautiful locations in Krabi. - Chicken Island - Snorkeling at Chicken Island
Dive into the crystal-clear waters of this famous island. If tide and sea conditions permit, we’ll choose the best snorkeling site around Chicken Island. It’s usually quiet here, even at 10 am, with only long-tail boats for company. The setting is stunning, with an abundance of tropical fish joining you as you snorkel. You can also witness the interesting rock formation resembling a giant chicken.
- PhraNang Cave Beach - Experience Simba management’s favorite beach in Thailand, featuring a majestic cave overhanging this spectacular beach stop.
- Railay Beach - Stroll, swim, and snap photos at Krabi’s most memorable beach. We’ll spend about half an hour at the main Railay Beach (West Beach), where you can take a lovely stroll on the sun-drenched beach or swim in the crystal-clear blue waters. Railay Beach is one of the most memorable postcard locations for magnificent photos. The island scenery is as beautiful as it appears in photos.
- Koh Yao Yai - Lunch at Pyramid Restaurant, where you can enjoy the flavors of Krabi combined with spectacular views. Lunch at this beautiful beachside restaurant is a major highlight of the tour. The menu typically includes spring rolls, fried chicken wrapped in pandanus leaf, fried chicken with cashew nuts and dried chili, sautéed seasonal vegetables, green curry chicken with jungle peas, and fried fish with sweet chili sauce. Savor the island flavors while relaxing before continuing the tour.
- Koh Yao Yai - Coconut Cape, a relaxing conclusion to our Krabi Island tour. We end with a visit to one of the most magical locations among the islands. To break up the journey back to Boat Lagoon Marina, we make a 40-minute stop at ‘Coconut Cape,’ a favorite among our ‘Phang Nga & Beyond’ tour guests. Here, guests can relax and refuel on fruit and snacks after a busy day of activities. It’s the perfect way to cap off our tour and send our guests home happy and nourished!

Wow wow wow - So worth the 5.30am pick up - breakfast on the beach, followed by another where we snorkelled, one where we saw monkeys and a monitor lizard crossed our path and then finished with more swimming at the most idyllic beach with white sands and palm trees.
What made the day other than the most beautiful scenery was MoMo and her crew - absolutely amazing!! We have done several tours with Simba over the years and every one has been perfect and made all the more so by their team. We have used other tour guides and boat trips but Simba for me are the best for the all round experience
Special mention for the banana bread we had for breakfast - wish I’d asked for the recipe - my hubby is still talking about it...

Magical sunrise - We had a wonderful day out with the crew. Noi was incredibly helpful and friendly. The stops were gorgeous and lunch was delicious. My personal highlight was the sunrise. I highly recommend this trip.

Great day trip! - Hotel pick up/drop off was flawless. The crew was great. The boat was large and powerful (which helped NOT get sea sick). The food provided was top notch. The various destinations were gorgeous and fun! We had a really fantastic time. Would definitely recommend.

Krabi - A must see - 11th December 2019 - A truly unforgettable experience. We went on 3 tours with Simba during our stay and I would highly recommend this company. These tours made our trip! I have reviewed all individually. Simba catered for all dietary requirements and were throughout the day reassuring me on what I could eat.
We were picked up at 5am from our hotel in Phuket. We arrived at the Royal Phuket Marina and we could help ourselves to drinks and food. We then had a briefing of where we would be going during the day. Again, we were fortunate to see the most incredible sunrise – I have added a picture of this. The sights of this tour are truly amazing. I was torn between staying in Phuket and Krabi but thanks to this trip I was able to experience both! Lunch on the beautiful resort was great and you were able to swim or chill by the beach. On the way back we were able to relax at the front of the boat and did not want this trip to end. Momo was brilliant and on hand to take any pictures you wanted! This trip is fairly new so does not have as many reviews as the others but not one to be missed.
Believe the reviews, you will be one of the first to the tourist spots and just as we were about to leave, we saw a number of boats arriving. I have been on tours in the Philippines with a cramped boat and arriving at all the sight-seeing spots with many other boats. This experience was worlds apart and is 100% worth the extra cost. I t is such a personal experience and we were fortunate to have such lovely people join us on our tours. It is such a personal experience and we were fortunate to have such lovely people join us on our tours. The crew are on hand to take pictures whenever needed. WIFI on the boat was brilliant.

Amazing - We went to Krabi with Mo (Simba's local guide) and the Simba's crew and they were really amazing. Mo is incredibly fun and an excellent guide. They offer a beach breakfast (we did not see any other company offering this service), lunch at Centara resort and soft drinks/water at any time.
The tour to Krabi was very worthy as we can walk from Railay West - Railay East and see the region environment and views. The boat had good conditions (life jackets, WC, internet). We definitly recommend this company!

Great Trip - A great trip with good staff, Momo was a great enthusiastic guide, a smaller boat than some of the other trips with only 18 of us made it far more comfortable for everyone. we highly recommend Simba Sea Trips and will use them again.

Never Disappointing....Exceptional. - I know its a big call, but you will never be disappointed with Simba Tours and Krabi Classic was amazing. Early start but the Sunrise was outstanding. Small group from different countries and all delightfully young. Amazing travel stories throughout the day. Lots of Island Hopping, swimming, snorkelling, walking, unreal photos, great lunch and swim at Centara Resort. (Just leave me there). Tour guides informative and helpful and funny. The scenery overall must be seen to be believed. Relaxing day and so enjoyable. Cool drinks, fruit, banana cake on boat. Lunch...yummy. Early arrival at each place, therefore less people. Always feel safe and comfortable on boat. The last stop outstanding. Pick up and drop off by tour company. MUST do.

Exceptional tour & tour operator! - After much time and research spent on TripAdvisor, I came across Simba. I selected Simba because of the excellent reviews provided. I agree with them all and can confirm this is a quality tour operator deserving of the costs. Momo, the crew, the customer service, constant attention to each passenger, attitude, FOOD, and tour were exceptional! The only part of the tour that I didn’t think was a valuable use of time was when we stopped on Railay beach. We walked around a bit to see a cave full of penises, but there wasn’t time to do much more. It just wasn’t that interesting and I would have rather spent it on the beach and in the water. Overall, it was exceptional, so I’m keeping the high rating. We also really liked the bag they let us use to protect our items from water damage. We ending up buying one to use in our travels. Thank you Momo!!!

Worth Every Baht - I highly recommend Simba Sea Trips. We did the Krabi Classic tour with guide Momo and she was knowledgeable, endearing and hilarious. The tours have a much lower capacity than others, so the ride is fairly intimate and doesn't feel like a cattle call. It is very much worth the premium.

A very rushed tour - Overall, this tour is great if you would like to see the amazing scenery that Krabi offers packed into one day. Waking up early gave us the opportunity to witness the most beautiful sunset whilst cruising the waters on their amazing speed boat. However, where this tour falters is the focus on how many sightseeing spots and activities we can do in a limited time rather than taking the time to ensure that individuals were having fun. Could have been easily fixed if tour guide showed a little more enthusiasm and just didn’t walk off and leave us to our own devices before informing us of how long we were allowed at each stop. With hopes that the tour would only progressively get better as we were off to a good start, the moment our tour guide Harry really let us down was at lunch time. He had given us an idea of when lunch would be served yet it happened to be ready much earlier. Despite this, he did not take the time nor care to find each person on the tour and tell them where to meet for lunch. My partner and others were left in the dark as we noticed that other people on our tour weren’t around. We scurried to collect our belongings and it was luck that we ran into another couple who were also left behind but were aware of the whereabouts of the group. This was just one scenario of when we were left behind, but is the worse one as upon finally reaching the table we saw what was meant to be a “shared” meal had already started without everyone. The itinerary itself is highly suitable for those wanting a taste of Krabi in a limited time. This could have easily been a 5 star tour if we had a guide that took more initiative to ensure that everyone enjoyed their time thus making them feel the money spent was worth it.
