What To Expect

Similan Islands are a group of small, lush islands situated 64 km. off the West Coast of Phang-Nga province. Set in the beautiful Andaman Sea, and covering an area of 80,000 rai, each one of these naturally perfect islands is National Park-listed and can be reached within 1.30 hours from Thaplamu pier, Khao Lak.  Due to their incredible underwater beauty, deep visibility (down to 30 m.), spectacular palm tree and granite boulder landscape, turquoise water bays, and magnificent white sand beaches, Skin Diver Magazine has voted the Similan Islands one of the world’s best diving destinations.

The coral reefs are host to a dazzling variety of sea life, appreciated at best whilst snorkeling. The islands’ breathtaking beauty is also easily accessible by foot; making for the perfect self-guided walking tour.  Book your trip to Paradise with Fantastic Similan Travel. We are local operators who know the islands well and are proud of all they have to offer. And we are sure to make your trip a truly exceptional experience.

Dissapointed with limited snorkelling time and number of tourists

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.

Excellent Similan Tour

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.

A day on the Similan islands

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.

Similan islands well worth a visit, bring snacks if fussy!

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.

Similan Islands, Well Worth Visiting

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.

Paid premium service for nothing, disappointing

I recently booked a Viator tour to Similan Island, opting for a 2nd-floor seat at a premium price. However, upon arrival, everybody was assigned to seat on 1st-floor seats, regardless that I have paid for a higher-tier service. This discrepancy between what was promised and what was delivered was extremely disappointing. Moreover, the way the situation was handled by both the tour operator and Viator's customer service team was incredibly disappointing. Not only did they fail to provide the service I paid for, but their refusal to refund the price difference was accompanied by rude and unhelpful communication. The operator's complete disregard for my messages without any apology added to the frustration and lack of accountability. The lack of accountability and customer service was frustrating and left a sour taste in what should have been an enjoyable experience. I highly advise against booking through Viator for this specific tour, as the experience fell far below the expected standard.
