What people are saying about Similan Islands

Overall rating

4.4
(584 reviews)

We loved the similan islands. The beaches were stunning, the snorkelling was amazing, we even saw a turtle! Our guide (called Tequilla) was brilliant - so full of energy and fun. Just be aware you spend a lot of the day in transport. The bus journey was fine, but was 2.5 hours each way. The speedboat was over an hour and pretty uncomfortable as it was cramped. But transport is necessary to get to the beautiful islands so worth it.

Dream excursion, our guide Laurent was the best! The only downside was that the car ride to and from the port was extremely long, more than 4 hours on the way back. But it was an exceptional day, with great care, we didn't lack anything!

The trip was very well organised, on time, the boat was not over filled and was clean and the tour guide, Aey, was so friendly and helpful! I really enjoyed the trip - it was my favourite boat trip from my trip in southern Thailand.

It’s a long way to get to the gathering point as it’s out of Phuket but it’s worth the experience and the joy 👌.

The crew were fantastic , a very well organised tour and was looked after from start to from start to finish .
