An amazing experience hosted by a wonderful charismatic tour guide Nancy, supported by his helpful crew members. Was enjoying myself so much tt i did not realised i lost my wallet at Koi 7 Island. 1 of their crew members, Big C found it at the beach and returned to me promptly. So honest! Our group was lucky too to be able to see the rare napoleon fish, sea turtle and even dolphins during our tour. Nancy also was helpful by shouting to everyone to let us know whenever he spotted these rare sightings so that we can catch a glimpse or swim towards them haha! Definitely recommended to try and hope to return with them again sometime!

The staff was very patient and enthusiastic throughout the trip. The breakfast and lunch they provided were good. Water, drinks and biscuits were provided along the way. You can see fish and corals underwater during both snorkeling trips.

Similan Island is really beautiful and highly recommended. The only and biggest drawback is that it is too far away. It takes at least 2 hours one way, and the return trip to Patong is about 3 hours due to traffic jams. It takes about 1.5-2 hours from the port to Similan.

Although it is a bit far from Karon Beach, the sandy rain scenery in the national park is worth seeing, and the snorkeling is also very clear. The tour guide also took great care of us, and the team also took photos for us. It was a very happy trip.
