Poor organization

The islands are spectacular, but we spent a lot of time between the Transfer for the port, at the port waiting for more people than ever before and left with an hour delay. In total we were 15 min only snorkeling throughout the day, after getting up at 5am and not arriving at the islands until 12h. Very badly organized. The worst food. The smallest, most crowded boat. Find another company for the field trip.

A taste of paradise

The islands are heavenly. The whole excursion is well organised and very structured. If I had to criticise ANYTHING it was there were lots of people packed onto boats but all have seating it just becomes a bit hectic getting on and off and when anchored up for swimming. Again though it is organised and that maybe is me being awkward. Breakfast, dinner and tea was provided. Snacks, water and Pepsi all day. Travelling is long to get to island the day was long but it was well worth it. All equipment is provided as well. Literally loved every minute of it.

Very Friendly Staff Members and Nice Beaches

The staff members are truly entertaining and friendly! The beaches in the Similan Islands are spectacular and crystal clear along with the parts of the sea I snorkled to! I would love to go back again just to enjoy the beaches!

Top organized tour to the Similian Islands!

Well organized tour to get to the Similian Islands. We were even able to postpone the tour for a day without any problems. The guides were very nice and tried. We were also constantly provided with drinks and food 👍🏼
