great day on the Similan - Really great day on the Similan Islands speed catamaran tour. The ride is long but the catamaran is comfortable and stable, so it wasn’t too bad. Crew were friendly, relaxed and kept things running smoothly. The islands are seriously beautiful - white sand,super clear water, and good snorkeling with plenty of fish. We had enough time at each stop to swim,chill and take photos without feeling rushed.Lunch was simple but good. Overall, a very solid day trip and definitely worth doing if you’re in Phuket

amazing day on the Similan Islands - Such an amazing day on the Similan Islands tour! Everything run smooth from pickup till the end, crew was super friendly and always checking if everyone was ok. The boat ride was long but worth it — water was insane blue and super clear. Snorkeling was awsome, lots of fish and really nice spots 😄
Didn’t feel rushed and had enough time on each island to swim, chill and take photos. One of the best days of my Phuket trip for sure — would totaly recomend it!

One of the best tours I’ve done - Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! Everything was perfectly organized — smooth hotel pickup, friendly and professional crew, and a very comfortable speedboat. The Similan Islands are truly breathtaking: crystal-clear turquoise water, white sandy beaches, and incredible snorkeling with colorful fish and coral.
The staff took great care of everyone, explained each stop clearly, and made sure we felt safe and relaxed throughout the day. Lunch was tasty, and the timing at each island was just right, never rushed.
One of the best tours I’ve done in Thailand and a must-do when visiting Phuket. Highly recommended!

Best day trip I’ve done! - I’ve done probably about a dozen day trips across SEA during different holidays and I have to say that these guys were the best tour guides I’ve had, extremely personable and fun to be around, very informative, accomodating and attentive. The day trip itself was also unreal, I’ve done the phi phi islands as well but they didn’t compare to how beautiful the water was at the Similan islands, crystal clear aqua water, photos just don’t do it justice.
Thank you for an amazing day! Can’t recommend you enough!

The small things - The seats on the boat make your shorts smell bad. The speedboat is open so alot wind for two hours. Friendly hosts and softdrinks food was very good! The snorkling was not good because i forgot my diving glassed and we had alot of trash in the sea. The biggest island was very beutiful!

DISAPPOINTING TRIP TO SIMILAN ISLANDS - I don't normally do reviews but need to air my views to hopefully saving readers of this excursion some hard earned cash. I was disappointed- Firstly, in my opinion this trip should not be offered to people on vacation in Pa Tong (which is central of Phuket) and here is why. What is not mentioned for those staying in Pa Tong it is a 14 hour round trip. Got picked up at 5:30 am and dropped off at 19:30 pm. Far to much travelling. It was 120 minute minibus ride to excursion start point then 90 minute ride on the speedy boat/Catamaran to The Similan Islands and then same on the return journey. That is a total of 7 hours travelling ! I chose this trip because on a previous trip to Thailand I was told by a local The Similan Islands are a must visit.
Regarding The Similan Islands they are beautiful but not outstanding, maybe I've been spoiled visiting other beautiful destinations A free breakfast was available at the pier before sailing . The trip had 4 drop off points (I can't remember the name of each individual island,
First island - 45 mins to 1 hour, disembark the boat to see a nice beach & walk the path to the other side of the island (use footwear) and back again to see nice views.
Back on boat, travel to second island for snorkelling. It was nice but again not outstanding, maybe I've been spoiled with doing a little scuba diving in the past. Third drop off was Sail Rock & also lunch. You've got to be fairly agile to climb to the highest viewpoint, (which is outstanding) once again - footwear is a must. Regarding lunch 3 out of 10 ( enough said) I have to add here that Sail Rock was the best of the 4 drop offs but If the weather is poor the excusion company may contact you the day before letting you know that they are unable to fulfil the Sail Rock drop off for safety reasons. It was ok for me on the day. 4th Island drop off was for snorkelling. There was a plentiful supply of drinks & ice creams while on the boat & a free bite to eat at the pier after leaving the boat while waiting for your minibus. I hope this review will be shown & can be translated for the various cultures that booked this trip. Make up your own mind
