Similan Islands Snorkeling Trip From Phuket

5 Stars for the Trip,Service,Food and overall experience. Special shoutout to Nina and Sirinfor making this trip a wonderful event.

Awesome day, definitely recommend this tour. Water was amazing, so many fish and coral. Tour guides were very knowledgeable

Tour was well organized, but we were dissapointed with the limited snorkelling time. Boat was packed meaning it took a long time to get on and off eating into already limited time. Similans were beautiful, but too many tourists there packing the beaches and water, leaving trash everywhere. I would skip the day trip and look to do a liveaboard if you really want to see the beauty of the islands and the ecology.

We stayed for 15 days in Thailand and did several island tours in different locations. I must say that this was the best one in every aspect, and mostly thanks to the tour operator SeaStar (without any discredit to other operators). The locations in the Similan archipelago are really beautiful and well worth it. The tour was extremely well organised in all aspects of logistics, timekeeping and entertainment, and the quality of the food and the amenities was pretty good. For example, this was the only tour we did where we were provided with complimentary beach towels and new mouthpieces and fins for the snorkeling gear. Each staff member really did everything to make the clients happy. The speed boats were also in very good condition and well equipped. Despite the relatively long sailing distance and chance of bad weather, all the journeys were quite smooth. All in all, we were very happy with the tour and recommend it. The quality justifies the price.

The thing to remember is that the Thai people are amazing, so generous and beautiful, they are definitely not appreciated enough, as evidenced by the tip jar that goes around the boat at the end of the trip. Please consider them and give more than the 20baht most of our neighbors gave, I thought it was an insult to the day they tried to provide for us. The positive from this trip, and most importantly, the team on the speedboat were amazing, they were friendly, attentive and professional, however the only good thing about this trip was the snorkeling, which was phenomenal. The water, fish, coral, were so spectacular, they just made the trip worthwhile. The free time to swim and relax was beautiful as well. Negativity, what we didn’t realize was the transfer from Patong to the marina takes 2hrs, then the speedboat to the islands takes 1 and 1/2 hours. There were 50 of us on a speedboat where the seats are smaller than buses, with all our bags, snorkels, fins etc with nowhere to go except upon us, a most uncomfortable trip, made especially so when you’re wet. I’m not going to complain about the food, basic sustenance for the day.

Great tour . Value the money. It is a 10-13 hr tour including pickup. Breakfast is provide befor start. Lot of snaks and drinks during boat ride. Guide is helpful and well organized. Snorkeling in several islands. Able to capture breathtaking photos.

Picked up quite early in order to get to boat, breakfast was provided with drinks (however it was a set meal not a choice- didn't cater to allergies as far as I could see, no fruit provided so I had a drink of orange juice ) Speedboat for around an hour, drinks and snacks provided (again snacks weren't for allergens so I had a drink) Crew were amazing, green team! Enthusiastic, informative and high energy. Visited separate islands and they were stunning. Lunch was provided but this wasn't great, full of picnic benches surrounded by flies- very off putting, food was plentiful but didn't want to eat. Snorkelling experience was amazing. Islands were stunning Food was rubbish.

It was a fun time. Sail rock was special. Snorkeling was good as waters were calm. It's a long way from Patong Beach but I'd do it again. Nap in the van will shorten the ride. Only glitch was the driver was late with pick up so left us only 10 min to down our breakfast. Our tour guide was "Lady Ga Ga" he/she was very hilarios and entertaining. Tour operators were very generous with water and sodas to make sure you were well hydrated in the heat. Breakfast and lunch were good.

Highly recommended. We enjoyed this tour. Pick up/drop off went smoothly. This tour company really treats you well.

This was an amazing experience. We were picked up at the hotel which was great! We did not have to worry about getting to the experience ourselves early in the morning. When we arrived at the location where we would catch the boat to the Similan islands, an amazing breakfast was waiting for us with bread, scrambled eggs, drinks, etc. All the necessary snorkeling equipment was also given to us plus two towels in a cute bag. Then the tour started. Our tour guide Tom and his team were all incredible and really funny. They made the trip even more enjoyable! Best tour guide team I have ever had! They were also always really kind and gave us water, coca cola, and snacks the whole time to guarantee we were okay. The trip started with some rest time on an island with an amazing shelf rock shape and an incredible beach with clear blue water. It felt amazing to stay there for a while to get some rest and take many beautiful pictures. Afterward, we went to two different locations to make snorkeling. We saw many amazing fish species with beautiful colors! It was a remarkable experience even though we did not see any turtles! Finally, we went to another island to have lunch and some rest again on a beautiful beach. The lunch was the only thing we did not like. It did not taste good and for the price we paid, we were expecting a better meal. Finally, we came back to Phuket and had an amazing snack waiting for us with cookies, drinks, and pad thai. Once more, we did not have to worry about transportation to our hotel. They left us there.
