Never choose this company, or you might be next.

This company has shown serious disrespect and fraud towards consumers regarding this project. I booked my trip for February 16th through their website on December 21st last year, but the company informed me on February 14th this year, just one day before my booking, that the project was overbooked and canceled my reservation without providing any other evidence. I cannot believe that a booking made nearly two months in advance is at the end of the booking list. The company completely disregarded my and my entire family's needs, communicating solely via email, and was utterly unreasonable and arrogant. I don't understand if such a company has any screening process. I want to warn all travelers: you may be lucky enough not to encounter this situation, but please know that if it does happen, this company will not provide you with any protection.

One day trip to Similan island

Nice trip to Similan Islands. Tour operator and guide have been nice and competent. They borrow us all the material needed to snorkel. Boat safe and big one. For families is very good , especially with young kids. Unfortunately It’s never nice to be in such nice islands and be able to stay such short time and being asked to swim in a very small piece of water . That becomes very crowded in peak season such Christmas time . it would be better to have the possibility to explore different bay or zones of the island so to feel a bit more wildness . But again, it’s because of the peak period . Anything to do with professionalism of the guides nor of the tour

Not recommended!!

The islands are beautiful & but the Staff is helpful and accommodating. However, I would not recommend this trip. passengers are crammed into the speed boats like a sardine can. It is hot and sweaty, and quite a few people were getting nauseous on the one hour and 15 minute boat ride out. The islands are beautiful, at least what you can see of them, given the hordes of tourists from numerous boats who all descend upon, the beach at the same time. It is difficult to snorkel as there are so many other boats and people around you. There is a hike up to an overlook on the first stop, but again, so many people you can barely get a clear shot without , someone photo-bombing you. Lunch is provided, but it is an assembly line of premade trays that did not look or taste good at all. So they get an A for effort, but I would definitely not recommend this tour. There are plenty of other beautiful beaches around , that are just as nice and not nearly as crowded.

Very happy with the experience

A very well organised and planned trip! Our tour guide Nancy was so lovely and made the whole experience even better! When we arrived there was breakfast and drinks available for everyone which was a lovely surprise. The group organisation was excellent, as we all got given coloured beach bags which made it easy to find your group. The islands were very busy but this is to be expected for a tourist hot spot, but still very enjoyable and beautiful to see. Our lunch was tasty too, which we chose at the start of the day. And lots of snorkelling time at great locations with lots to see! Would definitely recommend and will be using Fantastic Simalian travel again!

Great day but small boat.

Great day. Very well organised and very friendly and attentive staff. Boat very small for the number of people. Absolutely no room to move around or store your things . Everything on your lap. Also, window line above your head so cannot see anything.

Good trip but don’t waste your money on the 2nd floor.

The day for the most part was fun. I do wish it was noted when purchasing tickets that if you purchase the 2nd floor of the catamaran and pay extra for the second you don’t actually get to sit up there when going to the islands which are over an hr away. You are stuffed in the 1st floor with everyone with no air flow so make sure you grab a handful of Dramamine if you get even a little sea sick. They have them there like it’s candy. Just in jars everywhere. Which is helpful. You can only go up to the 2nd floor when you’re not moving but when you are not moving you are snorkeling or swimming or chilling on the beach so you don’t actually use the 2nd floor and anyone can go up there. They don’t check your tickets. So pointless to spend the extra money for something you will never use. Everything else was good. Ocean was beautiful the rock formations were beautiful and the beach was beautiful. It did seem a little rushed and there’s always a tone of ppl so hard to get good photos without some person walking through it but we still managed to get some. I would definitely bring water shoes. The last beach getting on the boat was rough. The tide went down so the boat couldn’t get close to the beach. Sow we had to walk about 20-30 ft into the ocean with rough waves coming in and sharp rocks. Got knocked over and cut my foot open. They took your sandals at the beginning of the trip so you don’t have them with you.

Beautiful, well organized but packed in like sardines!

This pains me to write this review because I LOVE the Similan Islands and they are gorgeous! Overall the tour company is organized, friendly and the food was good if you like traditional Thai food and seafood. My biggest issue was with the boat. It was like a tour bus on water. We were packed in like sardines and trying to put sunscreen on and snorkeling gear was VERY uncomfortable. Also, the seats are down below the windows which is horrible for anyone with sea sickness because you can’t see outside. My experience with the boat forced me to cancel my trip later in the week with this tour company and rebook another operator. There were families with small children on this tour that left their kids sleeping in the boat seats while they snorkeled. It felt like Disneyland in July.
