Maya Bay
Phi Phi Island Tour’s first glimpse of magic - Maya Bay Phi Phi Maya Bay has been a "must sightseeing location" for hordes of tourists for decades and, as such, has suffered from its overuse. Thankfully, the National Park prohibited, from 2018 to the end of 2021, any boat from dropping anchor in the bay and alighting at the beach to allow the gorgeous coral island treasures, wildlife, and environment time to recover. At Simba, you will be one of the first boats to arrive at this awe-inspiring bay to enjoy placing the first footprints of the day into its fine white sand. ***During the months of August, September, the Phi Phi National Park closes Maya Bay to tourists to allow some annual rejuvenation to the ecosystem. The stunning Bamboo Island is visited instead during these months. ***

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE 👌🏻🩷🙏🏻
✨ Simba Sea Trips – an experience we will never forget! 🌴🐬 On August 17th, we spent an absolutely incredible day with Simba Sea Trips, exploring the Phi Phi Island, Maya Bay, Monkey Beach, Pileh Lagoon and Bamboo Island – and honestly, the whole experience exceeded all our expectations.🩷 From the very beginning to the very end, everything was perfectly organized. The boat ride itself was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the entire crew was incredibly kind, funny, helpful and genuinely caring. We felt looked after the whole day. 🥰 A huge THANK YOU especially for all the help with snorkeling. The crew were amazing with our children – they patiently helped them, showed them what to look for underwater and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. 🐠💙 Thanks to them, the whole family could truly enjoy the snorkeling experience. And that is what made this trip so special. It wasn’t simply about taking us from one beautiful place to another. They genuinely cared about making sure we had an amazing day. They showed us things, helped us, made us laugh and created such a warm and fun atmosphere on the boat. Of course, the places themselves were absolutely breathtaking – Phi Phi, Maya Bay, Bamboo Island… 🌊☀️🌴 But when you combine those incredible locations with an amazing crew, a beautiful boat, great food, drinks and exceptional service throughout the entire day, it becomes an experience you simply don’t forget. We can wholeheartedly recommend Simba Sea Trips! ❤️ If you’re looking for a trip where you’re not just another tourist on a boat, but where you actually feel welcomed, cared for and part of the experience – go with Simba. 🐬💙 Thank you for an unforgettable day! You gave us so much more than beautiful photos. You gave us memories that our whole family will cherish. ✨🌊
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review. We are absolutely delighted to hear that your family had such a memorable day with us. It means a great deal to know that our crew made you and your children feel comfortable and safe while snorkeling. Helping everyone enjoy the experience, especially the little ones, is something our team truly cares about. We are also so pleased that you enjoyed the beautiful islands, the boat, food, and service throughout the day. Your kind words about our crew are incredibly appreciated and will certainly be shared with the team. Thank you for choosing Simba Sea Trips and for recommending us so warmly. We are honored to have been part of a day that created such special memories for your family. Best wishes, Andrea

Phang Na Bay Private Tour
We did a private speedboat tour around Phang Na Bay and it did not disappoint! The crew were super friendly and informative, we went at our own speed and they provided plenty of water and snacks. They took us to the best areas and we started earlier to avoid the crowds. Would definitely recommend and do it again!
Response from the operator: We loved having you on board, Janet — glad everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

Sunrise in PhiPhi!
Sara and her team were so phenomenal. Our driver was right on time at 5am with a big smile. The whole day was filled with snacks - they fed us so well! My husband and I could not swim but Sara and her team found ways to enhance our experience nonetheless. The views were spectacular and the beaches were stunning. The Thai sun favoured us for sure and we had nothing but the best experience. Thank you Sara and your whole team for the best ending to our trip :) khàawp khun khâ!!! With love from Canada xoxo
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for choosing us for your sunrise adventure — we're thrilled the whole experience, from pickup to boat to crew, hit the mark.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise cost?
+
Prices start at $1,244 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.
Is Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 95 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise?
+
Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phuket?
+
On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phuket Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour Option. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phuket?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phuket?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise?
+
Included: On-board WiFi; National Park fees; Lunch; Breakfast; and Price includes 2 adults. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1389 listed pickup locations in and around Phuket. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise offered in?
+
It is offered in Thai and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Luxury Private Speed Boat Charter - Phi Phi Sunrise wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
