“Fantastic day, value for money, the Simon team are just brilliant, helpful, safe friendly and fun! The snorkelling was unbelievable I saw at least 16 fish species! It was not overcrowded on the speed boat, the Khai islands were so quiet it felt like a private tour! We are going again! Highly recommended!”

2.Phi Phi & Bamboo Islands Snorkeling Tour with Lunch by Speedboat

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 797 reviews · from $129Top rated

This 7 to 8-hour Phuket trip uses a speedboat to visit Maya Bay, Pileh Bay, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach, Phi Phi Don, and Bamboo Island. Hotel pickup, snorkeling gear, drinks, lunch, and an English-speaking guide are included. Guides may include Tony, Nan, Tommy, or Noonit.

“This tour had too many stops to really enjoy the islands. We spent more time in the speedboat than enjoying the islands. We were only able to stay on the islands for 30-40 minutes which is not enough time to relax, snorkel and enjoy the beach. I would suggest less island stops to give visitors enough time to fully enjoy”

“This tour company was not very organized. I woke up at 5:50, was ready at the hotel lobby at 6:50 because they said they were gonna pick me up at 7, but they arrived at 8, making me wait more than one hour. Than when we boarded the boat, they had lost one passenger, so we spent another half an hour waiting for them to look for her. In the end the tour that was supposed to start at 9:30, started at 10:40. The islands were nice, but it is more a photo opportunity than anything else. They brought me back to the hotel at 19:45, almost 12h with them…”
