Breathtaking Phang Nga Bay: 8-Hour Island & Cave Odyssey

I loved the small speed boat and the staff were excellent, especially Harry the tour leader. The lunch was delicious and they even made special accommodations for my husband’s allergies. My favorite activities were walking through the cave and kayaking. The scenery was gorgeous. Four stars because I do have two suggestions: 1. Put water shoes on the list of what to bring. You need them in the cave. 2. Getting on and off the boat is not safe when they are at the beach or they stop to swim. They need to have a ladder or a ramp. The two small steps they have are not sufficient. The staff tries to help by giving you and hand but in my case, I ended up falling into the water. I wasn’t hurt, but I could have been. Simba tours needs to purchase the proper equipment for their customer’s safety. If you decide to go on this boat trip, I would suggest sitting down to get on and off at the swim sites. I found that to be more safe. Overall a lovely tour. Loved the small group and the special attention and arriving early before the crowds.

A great day at sea, pace well balanced, and beating the crowds thanks to an early start (i.e. earlier than the average, very much worth the 1 less hour of sleep!). Guide Harry was of very high level

We had a great time. The thing about this trip is you leave earlier 7:00 am, and are in a fast boat so you get to most of the sites you visit before the crowds show up. The guide Henry was fabulous sharing history and details of each stop. He was also very friendly and quite funny.

Early start but well worth it to avoid the crowds. The tour was quite extensive, got to see so much of the Phang Nga Bay region. Each stop of the tour was incredible. Harry, Wat, and the team were fantastic, could not ask for better guides. So many snacks and drinks provided, a delicious lunch, and just a small group of people which makes it easier to get to know people and less waiting around for everyone to get on and off the boat. They also had a professional photographer taking photos for us. Highly recommended to anyone.

Brilliant day! Harry, Wat, our awesome driver and Kolin ( photographer) made this tour an absolute success. Recommend to all.

This was the highlight of my trip— swimming in the sea, stopping along beaches, through caves, mangroves and canoeing through the unique islands. Harry, our tour guide and his team made this experience. Perfect balance of guidance/safety info and independent time to explore. He very kindly offered to take photos for us of the most memorable moments. The boat facilities are clean, comfortable and I would definitely recommend the smaller group and earlier start— it was incredibly unique to visit before these popular spots become crowded. Lunch was delicious too! Highly recommend— if I had more time I would have booked more excursions.

This was a fabulous day! We were initially concerned about the really early start (6am pick up from our hotel) but starting the experience at 7am meant you get ahead of the crowds - really important particularly at the Koh Panak cave. Everything was included, breakfast, lunch and transfers to and from our hotel. Lunch was at a very nice restaurant on one of the islands. My wife and I are vegetarian and they catered well. Harry and team couldn’t have done enough - and we were lucky enough to be part of a fun and social group. We swam, kayaked (or at least Abdullah did for us!) and took loads of photos. Really recommend this to see some beautiful sites, pretend to be James Bond (or in my case Scaramanga) and have a fun experience.

This was the highlight of my trip — exploring the caves, mangroves and beaches with Harry and his team. They provided waterproof bags, headlamps and allowed us the perfect balance of guidance/safety and time to independently explore. The speedboat was very clean, comfortable, spacious and lunch at the hotel was delicious. It was well worth it to have an earlier start with a smaller group of people. A truly special day, can’t thank and recommend Harry and his team enough.

We had a fantastic day tour with excellent communication and friendly, professional staff. The trip was well-organised, with a light breakfast, fresh fruit and drinks, and a delicious Thai lunch on a remote island. Highlights included a unique cave tour, relaxing canoeing, photo stops at James Bond Island, refreshing swims, and time on a deserted beach. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience with our small group of eight and highly recommend this company.

Guide Harry, Captain Fin and the rest of the crew gave us a lovely day out on the water around the archipelago. Harry was knowledgeable and made sure we were all well catered for. There were so many highlights to enjoy on the boat cruise!
