The Similan Islands are one of the best known island groups in the Andaman Sea, primarily due to the diverse marine life and vibrant corals that can be found there. It consists of an archipelago of eleven islands. Whilst each has it own name, the authorities assigned each a number for convenience. Islands 1., 2. and 3 are closed to the public due to a turtle hatching protection program and reef conservation efforts. (Island number 3 actually belongs to a Thai princess.). Whilst not all of these picture-postcard islands are open for tourists to visit, you will experience the good fortune of visiting several of them during the day.

This is Bertug!
The description says that this is a tour with a smaller number of participants, so a maximum of 20 people. We accepted the high price because we assumed it was a more exclusive tour, far away from mass tourism. Unfortunately, we were wrong - after contacting an employee of IAsia, he told us that it was a completely normal boat with up to 60 people! We could no longer cancel the tour free of charge!! All other providers (including those in the hotel) charged an average of €50 less for the same tour. Pure rip-off!

Nice day trip!
It was a really nice day trip! I super recommend it! The bus pick us up early in the morning to go to Wow Andamar Pier, where we had a good breakfast, then we got in the speed boat to the islands. We had four stops, one of one hour to swim, two in different islands to do snorkeling, where we could see a lot of fishes and corals and the last one to have lunch and some free time to enjoy in the beach. The lunch and diner were good! We also had snacks, ice cream and drinks.

Dissapointed that our german guide didn't speak german
the trip was amazing, the transfers were on time, really nice and clean vans. We arrived at their private terminal Pier 88 and we got greeted by their nice staff. They had a pretty nice snack buffet. After awhile our German guide Mr. Bird came over to us and tried to explain to us something in German that we really didn't understand. We have booked the trip, because they said that there were a German speaking guide on the trip, because my wife don't speak English that well. We were a bit disappointed about this. But the English speaking guide Mr. Jessie was very friendly and funny so that made us forget about Mr. Bird. The sunset was amazing and the dinner tasted very good
