The Similan Islands tour was amazing! The crew was professional, friendly, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. They explained everything clearly and were very attentive throughout the trip. The boat was well-maintained, and the snorkeling spots were stunning. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Thailand – a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation!

A wonderful experience! This is one of the must places to visit if you love snorkeling. You might also be able to see sea turtles. Apart from these, Similian Islands also has a picturesque view from the mountain top. It's a must visit if you're staying in Phuket.

Great trip! The best in my life. The two beaches that the tour team took us to look like from Instagram. Additionally, during snorkeling we saw many colorful fish and a water turtle. As for food, breakfast was not very good, but dinner was okay, and the crew handed out water, cola and milk bars.

Meeting point, the organization and food were the best we saw in Thailand so far. Underwater scene is okay. The speedboats are STUFFED to the brim, as the only negative.

Similan Islands! It’s such a beautiful and dreamy island, and it’s not open year-round! I am very happy that my husband and I came to Phuket for our honeymoon during the opening season of Similan Island! The scenery here is really amazing! So beautiful! Even taking 100 photos is not enough! It is recommended that everyone climb up the mountain and look at the sea from top to bottom! I really can't take my eyes off it! Can't bear to come down! It’s so beautiful! The overall event experience was very good! The dining environment is great! Food variety! The toilets and bathrooms are clean and tidy! It is convenient to take a shower and change clothes after the activity. In addition, beach mats, snorkeling mirrors, fins and large towels are provided for free! ! There is also unlimited drinking water, juice and snacks on board! Don’t worry about getting hungry after snorkeling. The staff will go with you in a group of about 8 people. They will take care of everyone in every corner of the island, inform you of the route meeting time, and assist in taking photos! You can actually see turtles and baby sharks at the snorkeling site! ! So exciting! ! ! Finally, I am very happy to have hotel pick-up and drop-off service, it is really convenient! ! It is recommended that everyone must go and see the beauty of Similan Island in person! ! The journey is far! But you can catch up on your sleep in the car or on the boat! Take a day to Similan Island! Really worth it!

I think this tour was a great value for money. I think this price is cheap for round-trip pickup, snacks, meals, and equipment rental. The schedule is that they ask for your room number by email the day before pickup. If you simply reply with your room number, you will arrive within 30 minutes of the pickup time listed. (It may be even later if other people get on late.) Even if you don't reply to the email, they will come to pick you up, so don't worry too much. You can wait in the lobby in advance. After that, when you gather at the dock, they will give you bracelets by color and give you equipment. You can rent flippers separately after receiving them, but I actually thought I didn't need them. While waiting, you can eat a simple buffet. There are 3-4 kinds of bread, coffee, rice, and noodles. But it's really delicious. We divided the boats based on the color of the bracelets we gave you after eating, and I was surprised that the guides were so energetic. It's crazy to drive for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, so make sure to take motion sickness medicine. The boat is faster and scarier than you think. The first time, we just looked around the island for about an hour and wandered around, and there was nothing special, so it was a bit more boring than I thought. And for the 2nd and 3rd courses, we went swimming in the ocean. The ocean was clear and super fun. LOL After that, we went to another island for lunch, and the food there was really delicious. The food was varied, with spaghetti, chicken soup, and stir-fried vegetables. You can play there for about an hour and then return to the dock to eat more food and snacks. The menu was a bit different than before, so I was able to keep eating without getting tired. And when you first received your bracelet, you can go back to the pickup vehicle by looking at the van number that was given to you. As a tip, I think it would be less uncomfortable to bring extra clothes and wear them instead of wet clothes on the way back!! I hope this article was helpful!!! (The guides speak English, so even native speakers have a hard time understanding it, so you can just follow the color of the bracelet. LOL)

Excellent trip. Incredibly professionally organised, with lots of extra touches that made it an enjoyable day: quality of the tour guides, free snorkels & fins to rent, surpsingly excellent clean food. Just make sure that you do understand there is a lot of travelling in this trip, ~5+ hours of boats & cars combined, for 2 beaches and 2 snorkel spots (~1.5 hour total snorkelling). But if that's what you like, it's very slick and well run :) special thanks to Tequila for for doing an excellent job as the tour lead.
