We had a great day! The itinerary on the day was explained clearly and Jessica was a fantastic guide - so knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. The snorkeling sites were good and well looked after, as were all the beaches we stopped at. As much water and other soft drinks as your could want were provided and the lunch was delicious. The boat crew were great at looking out for us too and our mini-van was clean & on time for the (very) early pick up, with a snack on hand for the long journey back. A quick tip - bring some mosquito spray for the lunch, we stupidly had forgotten ours. Definitely a great tour provider to book with.

Full description

Be the first to arrive at Similan Islands with our original Similan Early Bird! The boat leaves the pier at 7:00 AM, and pick-ups in Phuket start as early as 4:00 AM. It's an early start but it will be worth it if you want to beat the crowd.
Set sail for an exhilarating speedboat tour to snorkel through the pristine waters of Donald Duck, Honeymoon, and Princess Bay. Relish a delightful picnic lunch by the sea at Honeymoon Bay. Opt for tour packages that offer convenient pickup and drop-off locations in Phuket or Khaolak.
Your early bird journey to the Similan Islands will take off in Khaolak. Setting out early ensures that you get to Donald Duck Bay in time to hike the short trail to Sail Rock and snap those jaw-dropping photos from the viewpoint.
On this tour, you'll also get two extended snorkeling breaks to explore the vibrant underwater world, with a chance to even spot a sea turtle. Your next destination will be Island no 4, where you'll enjoy your picnic lunch beside the scenic Honeymoon Bay.
Follow that up with a leisurely walk through a nature trail leading to the breath-taking beach at Princess Bay. There, you'll have ample time to unwind and take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters. To cap off your day, enjoy one more snorkeling adventure at Similan Islands.

Defo recommend! The early bird is defo worth it as well as you get to islands and locations before most people.
