    About Krabi’s Islands

    The Krabi archipelago is one of the most dramatic landscapes in southern Thailand, with limestone cliffs, calm bays, emerald lagoons, and bright sandy beaches. Simba Sea Trips visits several of Krabi’s signature locations on selected tours and private charters, offering a quieter, more scenic alternative to the busy routes around Phi Phi.

    Ao Nang – Coastal Views & Island Gateways

    Ao Nang is Krabi’s main coastal hub, and Simba routes often pass its long beaches, green mountains, and offshore islands on the way to the Krabi archipelago. From the boat, the coastline looks incredible in the morning light and sets the tone for a relaxed day on the water.

    Railay Bay – Limestone Cliffs & Hidden Beaches

    Railay is one of Thailand’s most iconic viewpoints, defined by massive orange-toned cliffs rising directly from the sea. While we don’t land here, cruising past Railay is a highlight of our Krabi routes — a perfect moment for photos and taking in the sheer scale of the landscape.

    Hong Island – Lagoon & Viewpoint

    Hong Island is the crown jewel of the Krabi Classics tour. Guests enjoy time on the main beach, a scenic cruise through the calm Hong Lagoon, and the impressive climb to the Hong Island Viewpoint, which offers 360° views over the entire Krabi coastline.

    Chicken Island – Snorkelling & Clear Water

    Named after its famous rock formation, Chicken Island is one of the best snorkelling spots in Krabi. Simba Sea Trips typically stops here for a relaxed snorkel session, with sightings like parrotfish, sergeant majors, butterflyfish, and colourful reef life in clear shallow water.

    Why Visit Krabi with Simba Sea Trips

    Krabi delivers a different atmosphere — quieter beaches, green cliffs, gentle lagoons, and wide-open water. With Simba Sea Trips, guests enjoy small groups, early departures, uncrowded stops, and a relaxed pace that lets the scenery shine.

    Best Time to Visit

    The best time to explore Krabi’s islands is November to April, when skies are clear, the water is calm, and visibility is ideal for snorkelling.

    Krabi’s coast stays beautiful year-round, but the dry season offers the most reliable conditions.

    Getting There

    Krabi’s islands are accessed by boat from Phuket, with Simba Sea Trips departing early to ensure quieter beaches and smoother crossings.

    Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for most Phuket areas.

    Awesome day out

    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.

    Horrible felt rushed paid alot for nothing

    I was disappointed in this trip. I went last year and this tour was amazing. Moe was guide last year she was just fun and just full of life. This year I brought my mom thinking it would be the same. The prices went up from last year. The tour felt rushed, we didnt go to all the islands, the guides didnt take pictures of the families or friends, it was just not exciting at all. The mood just felt somber. They rush you when your eating lunch because your grab is there. Just the whole things was a mess and thr group was alot bigger this year. It was a waste of money.
