We had such a good experience with Seastar - so professional and kind

I had an amazing time with Seastar tour from Phuket to Similan Islands. Seastar was very professional and I felt safe, happy and well fed! We were picked up from our hotel, transported to their place and there we were prepared for the trip, having breakfast and getting additional information. After that we drove in the boat to Similan Islands, where we snorkled, swam and enjoyed the islands. They were amazingly beautiful and it was a very special and clear water. I can definitely recommend trips with Seastar, very professional and kind.

Not accommodating

We booked through get your guide with oh hoo travel. I become sick and was in hospital on a drip and get your guide said aslong as oh hoo can confirm we can change the date. Oh hoo didn’t reply to get your guide or answer and didn’t reply to my WhatsApps. Obviously they were just happy to keep the money, instead of being a good company. Now wanting to rebook but won’t be rebooking with them since I wouldn’t want to give my money to them again

Highlight of Thailand

Well run professional operation. Very friendly and helpful staff. A very long day but well worth it. Much less crowded than a lot of the other islands and better snorkeling. Definitely the highlight of our Thailand holiday.

The Similan island trip was nothing short of amazing

The Similan island trip was nothing short of amazing. The transfer is by air conditioned mini bus, taking you to the Sea Star HQ where you are given a buffet of hot and cold breakfast with drinks. We chose the 2 storey catamaran option which gave loads of room with all seats were shaded and comfy. Lovely calm snorkelling spots with lots of fish. You have plenty of time on each island and a lovely set seafood lunch served with unlimited chicken and vegetables. When we arrived back at the Sea Star HQ there was another buffet selection offered of rice, noodles, fried chicken etc while having the opportunity to have a toilet break and change out of swimsuit before the transfer home. Everything has been considered to improve the experience with extra touches such as additional snacks, free flowing soft drinks, use of snorkelling equipment, floats for less confident swimmers and a guide in the water with you to help spot fish (and we were lucky enough to see a turtle too)! You can also hire a go pro for the day where you can take the SD card home with you. The organisation was exceptional and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Be warned it is an early pick up and possibly a long transfer depending where you stay (we stayed in Ratsada so the transfer was around 1.5 hours there and 2 hours back) so in total took around 14 hours but it was a jam packed day where no time was wasted and an amazing experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend Sea Star and the Similan Island tour.

Amazing Similan Tour by Seastar Andaman

Very well organized tour and dedicated team. Boat trip takes about 90 minutes to the snorkeling sites and can be a choppy ride. Tour operator prepared motion sickness pill to those who require. Not advisable for heavy breakfast prior to the boat ride. Otherwise food , drinks and gears for snorkeling are we’ll provided.

Similan islands day trip review

We managed to get this trip for 2000 Baht from a tour agent in Patong (end of April 2022). The actual tour itself was only approx 4-5 hours and most of the time was taken in travelling. A minivan came to collect us at 6:30am and proceeded to collect other customers from Patong and then Phuket city so we got to the pier at 8:30am, we then had breakfast and a safety briefing and left at after 9am. The speedboat of ride to the Similan islands was another 1 hour 30 minutes so we got to spend actual time in 4 of the 9 islands for 4.5 hours from 10:30 to 3pm. We left at 3pm, got to the pier for 5pm and then it took the minivan over 2 hours to get us home whilst dropping off customers in different locations around Phuket. We reached our hotel after 7pm. I believe this rough itinerary is the same for all tour companies and most tour companies follow the same route. The staff were lovely, bit awkward with the staff coming around with a tips bucket and pushing it in front of you towards the end of the trip. The breakfast and lunch had good variety but basic for the amount the tours actually cost. You get to do two snorkelling trips 30 mins each and spend about 2 hours in total on two different beaches. The first snorkelling spot we went to had great coral, the second dead coral. Hope this is helpful!

Overall the islands are beautiful but use another provider

The islands are beautiful and is a must visit, but I would use another tour provider. We felt mislead by the tour provider, we were told it was an hour journey on a speedboat, but it was 2 hours. You cannot see out of the boat, and remain inside at all times, so the journey is spent looking at the floor. At one point the boat driver spotted a whale but as we were not allowed to stand up when driving none of us could see it. They didn’t stop for us to try and see. We were confused when the team handed out anti sickness pills before boarding the boat, but the lack of windows and viewing soon made us realise why passengers often feel unwell. Overall time spent in the water was 1.5 hours and we had an hour on the beach. So from 8am - 5:30pm you have 2.5 hours of free time. The food was also very disappointing, rice and chicken in a plastic lunchbox. Overall the 3 stars are for the islands themselves but I would recommend anyone to go with another provider.

Do not be put off by an overcast day!

The weather on the day of this trip was overcast and we very nearly cancelled having been concerned we would not get a great experience in the sea without the sunshine. We decided to go anyway as it was too late for a refund and we were so pleased we did. Do not be put off if you do not get to visit on a sunny day, we were pleasantly surprised by the visibility and abundance of tropical fish of all sizes and species during this trip. The staff, especially our guide 'Bo' were very professional, friendly and helpful. Food was plentiful and the entire trip was so well organised and efficiently run it was truly a worthwhile investment for an amazing experience which we shall remember for a long time.
