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!

Great day with value for the money!! - Great tour guides with a lot of energy and service minded (Mr Tequila and Miss Siri!!). Plenty of drinks and small snacks on the boat between stops. We stopped at 2 islands and 2 beautiful snorkeling sites where we saw a lot of fish, corals and an occasional turtle. Though would have preferred to have more time snorkling instead of on the islands since they had a lot of tourists. The last stop that included lunch where about 1,5 hours which was understandable but a bit too long. Great to receive breakfast buffet, sea sick pill (1,5 hours boat ride to first island) and snorkeling gear with towels at arrival. Very nice coordinated with color coding silicone wrist bands to know what boat/team you belonged to as well as the transport from and to the hotel. Though didn't expect the boats to be as packed with people as they were, must've been up to 40-50 people on each boat so a bit crowded and tight spaced. We also had several people on the boat who couldn't swim, which created waiting time since they needed life jacket/life boes and extra attention. Don't recommend going on a snorkeling trip if you are not comfortable with swimming since the snorkeling sites was in at least 5 meters deep water/open sea. Wished that we have had more time snorkling but overall a great day for only 87 USD per person! Would really recommend!

Amazing snorkeling - It was very nicely and sharply organized! Everything was on good schedule and personnel tried their best to entertain us. We had fun snorkeling in 3 islands and the last was cool option to relax. One tip for the travelers: do not go to another beach across the island, unless you want to go walking, there is the same beach, but you lose time for getting there.

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.

Average experience but islands are beautiful - The islands themselves are really beautiful but way too many boats so too many people . Boat felt cramped . Whole day felt rushed with minimal time on the islands . Lunch was after 2 pm and was awful like a school dining hall . Staff were pleasant but were constantly shouting . Getting on and off the boat in big waves on the beach is an injury waiting to happen

Similar Islands with Fantastic - The beaches are crazy. It's nice to snorkle but there's not much vegetation and fish. Fantastic gave us a bag with towels and a carpet. The guides were nice, but they put too many people in the speed boat, and the place for lunch was not stunning and didn't look clean and organized.
