The Phi Phi Islands are one of Thailand’s most stunning destinations, famous for dramatic limestone cliffs, emerald lagoons, white-sand beaches, and bright turquoise water. Located between Phuket and Krabi, the islands offer incredible scenery, excellent snorkelling, and unforgettable lagoons.
Simba Sea Trips explores Phi Phi with early-morning departures, giving guests quieter conditions and a more relaxed experience before the busy day begins.
The world-famous Maya Bay on Phi Phi Leh is known for its cliffs, soft sand, and crystal water. Swimming is not allowed, but Simba guests arrive early to enjoy the beach and scenery at its calmest.
Just around the corner is Pileh Lagoon, a still, emerald-green basin surrounded by vertical limestone walls. When conditions allow, Simba guests can swim here in some of the clearest water in Thailand.
Phi Phi offers excellent snorkelling at Phi Phi Don, Bida Nok, and nearby reefs. Common sightings include parrotfish, clownfish, butterflyfish, soft corals, and occasionally blacktip reef sharks. Simba Sea Trips chooses the best sites based on the daily conditions.
Cruising past Viking Cave, the cliffs of Phi Phi Leh, and the surrounding karst formations is a major part of the experience. Simba’s early timing means smoother water, better light, and fewer boats.
On the Phi Phi Shark Tour, guests enjoy a picnic and swim at Bamboo Island, known for its bright turquoise shallows and quiet, white-sand beach.
Small groups, early starts, hand-picked snorkel spots, and quieter timing make Simba Sea Trips one of the best ways to experience the Phi Phi Islands.
The ideal time to explore the Phi Phi Islands is November to April, when the sea is calm, the skies are clear, and visibility is at its best for snorkelling and lagoon swimming.
These months offer the most reliable conditions for enjoying Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, and Phi Phi’s coral reefs.
