Good to know
- To be able to confirm the booking, it is very important that you send us a copy of the passport ID page for all travelers. We have to send this information to the Thai Marine Department before the trip starts. It will be handled strictly private and confidential. Please also bring a digital photo of the passport on your phone or a copy of the passport to the trip.
- The tour program is subject to change due to weather & sea conditions
- Ensuring your safety is our top priority. To that end, we strongly recommend wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkeling.
- Speed boats carry passengers as close to the beach as they can so passengers can hop off and on easily.
- Wear flip flops or water shoes in case there are shells or rocks on the sand and shorts rather than pants as the water level may be above the knees when hopping off/on the boat.
- Post-trip drop-off changes incur extra one-way fees: 300 THB for hotel switches or Phuket transfers, and 600 THB for Krabi.
- Rates for hotel transfers include one passenger and one piece of luggage. Any additional luggage will incur a surcharge of 200 THB per piece.
Traveler reviews
Great day
Nice experience. Nice snorkeling. Excellent service from the guides. Viator asked me if I had any food allergies. Very much appreciated by me.
Staff are great trip dissapointing
The staff was the best part of the trip entertaing and friendly. The snorkelling was disappointing to many people in the water and not much to see. The islands are beautiful though a victim of tourism with us been 3 of them.
Too many people
Too many people on the beaches and dive sites. Good organization, though. Engine failure of the boat on return, well managed: transfer to other boats. Attentive and friendly staff.
Too crowded
I could not fault the tour guides and organisation of this company but this is a mass produced tour day with hundreds of people descending on the islands at the same time. We left our hotel at 730am and returned at 530pm. We had 2 x 30mins sessions in the water snorkelling all day. It wasn’t enough. There was no time or room on the beach to set up and relax and snorkel at your leisure. The weather wasn’t favourable which meant the boat ride each way was almost 1.5 hrs and extremely rough (do not recommend if you suffer sea sickness!). We were lucky enough to see one turtle, the poor thing had nearly 100 people trying to see it and yelling at it either from in the water or on the boats. Such a shame as the marine life and water was absolutely magnificent, we need to find a way to enjoy it without the crowds.
Beautiful trip to the islands Similan, Nancy super nice*
We participated in a beautiful excursion organized by this agency and led by the fabulous Nancy! Everything perfect, super nice exceptional team, great value for money. The Similan Islands are a precious treasure, if you are in Phuket or Kao Lak area you can not miss them!
