A very beautiful place. The tour itself and the guides were good oh they took us to good snorkeling spots. Unfortunately, I still have to say that there are far too many people visiting the viewing island and the dining area. So I am very divided to the excursion itself. There were about 30 boats on site at the famous vantage point and unfortunately it brought a sense of mass tourism and overcrowding
Thank you very much for sharing your honest and thoughtful feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that you found the location beautiful and that you were happy with the tour and our guides, as well as the snorkeling spots we selected. At the same time, we completely understand your feelings regarding the large number of visitors at the viewpoint and lunch area. Certain famous spots can become very busy, especially during peak times, and we truly regret that this affected your overall impression and created a sense of overcrowding. Your comments are very valuable to us. We continuously look for ways to better manage timing and routes to minimize congestion as much as possible. Thank you again for your balanced review. We truly appreciate your perspective and hope to welcome you again in the future for an even more enjoyable experience. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
Just looking at the shallow sea, it's like rechargeing, relaxing from work, enjoying a lot!!!! and under the water are highlights, gorgeous corals, a variety of fish, more enjoyable, clear waters with fish without diving.

3 out of 4 of us said this was the best trip we did on a 5 week trip around SE Asia. The whole day was really well organised if busy, other operators go to these islands so you don't have them to yourselves, but the snorkelling was really good, the beaches lovely and we had a really good lunch. They catered especially for our 2 vegetarians. A big highlight was our Guide Kwang and her team. They really looked after everyone, taking good of weaker swimmers and keeping a watchful eye. While safety outside North America and Europe may be more relaxed this team made it an unobtrusive priority. They even gave close up care to a couple who were sea sick. Kwang's enthusiasm for the sea and knowledge of the islands made it a really enjoyable day.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re truly honored that this was one of the best trips of your 5 week journey in Southeast Asia. We’re glad you enjoyed the snorkeling, beaches, and lunch, and that our team was able to cater well for your vegetarians. A special thank you for your kind words about Kwang and her team. We’re very proud of their enthusiasm and attentive care, especially in looking after safety and supporting guests who needed extra help. Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
Had an absolute ball, Stephanie & Rami were the best guides you could have. Like a ray of sunshine. We had a great trip to 4 islands & snorkelling, lunch provided was great & photos are stunning, but the memories will last a lifetime!! We got to see Sea turtles!!
Thank you so much for your amazing review. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic time exploring the four islands and snorkeling. Stephanie and Rami will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We’re glad you enjoyed the lunch and the photos, but even more so that you’re taking home memories that will last a lifetime. We truly hope to welcome you back for another incredible adventure in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
The Similan Islands are very beautiful. However, they are an example of excessive tourism. We were herded onto a 40 person boat that was completely full. For an hour and 20 mins you get no view of the sea, just the people you are facing crammed into the boat. You then arrive at a most beautiful beach with wonderful clear water, except that there are already about 50 other boats in the bay. Half the beach is cordoned off so that 4 big boats at a time can land at the sandy beach to deposit or pick up their passengers. The noise of the boats diesel engines ruin any peace and quiet. The beach had about 1,000 people on it from all the boats. Then you go to two different places to snorkel, except you are one of 12 big boats at each location. About 500 people in the water trying to snorkel is chaos and very unpleasant. Finally you are taken to the most fantastic beach with wonderful sand, except that every tour boat visiting the islands bring their passengers to the same beach for lunch. Lunch is served on metal trays in a grotty shed, which reminded me of a prison. The toilets on this island are disgusting. After lunch you battle with the 2,000 other people on the beach for a good spot to sit. Our boat was the last to leave in the evening, at which point you could really appreciate the beauty of the beach. To be clear the islands are wonderful and the crew did their best, but the whole experience was horrendous because there are too many tour boats and too many tourists, The islamds are being spoilt by the greed of the boat companies.

Your feedback is invaluable and will help us address these issues with our partners to improve future tours. We appreciate your honesty and patience as we work towards offering better experiences for our customers. Best regards, Oh-Hoo Team
Our family with two teenage sons enjoyed a day full of amazing experiences. We were pampered with a hotel pickup, breakfast at the pier and pleasant transfers between islands. Our guides were so friendly and we especially enjoyed help in finding multiple Nemos (yes!) and taking group pictures in breathtaking backgrounds. Only improvement point that comes to mind was that lunch could have been more diverse.
The excursion was very well organized and the staff of "Love Andaman" were very helpful, friendly, professional. The islands are beautiful, the water clear, the fish colorful. So far everything is fine. All around, however, it was a mass tourism special. Many boats (with about 60 people each) around a snorkeling place. Lunch with around 500 other people as check-in. The infrastructure (toilet) very bad. So it was basically ok, but rather not recommended due to the very high price.
Fantastic day out exploring! Well organized and excellent crew- Our tour guide Steffany was fabulous! We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We’ve done a lot of tours and this one is a top contender. Will book with them again when in Phuket next.
What a nice experience, our one day trip snorkeling at Similan Islands , we went with Sexy KingKong guide group , they are very experienced and helpful and funny.☺️ on the way to the islands my husband and son got seasick and they are rush helping with concern….
