Excellent service by the Once Phuket Yacht Company. The trip to Similan Islands was very well organized and managed by the guides. They were very helpful throughout the tour. The food was also nice, and plenty of refreshments were available throughout the day. The guides especially made efforts to make us see the turtles swimming inside the ocean. It was a very wonderful experience for all of us.

We had a perfect day with the checkin in andamam service. The tour guide was very enthusiastic and explained everything in detail. The scenery of Similan is absolutely stunning and worth seeing.

The travel time is extreme, but once you arrive, you feel very welcomed. The taste was average, but from breakfast to lunch, and even the snacks upon arrival, the feeling of being treated well during the time we had to wait for the other team, along with the beach towel, made it the best tour. I think Similan is a must-see when in Phuket.

This is the 3rd time I have been to Similan Island. The beauty is the same every time. This time, I chose to come with Check In Andaman. I must say that I was very impressed. That day, I arrived very late, but when I arrived, I was not worried about parking because there was enough space. Most importantly, I did not have to walk far. As for the food included in the package, it was available all day long, from morning at the pier before boarding the boat, lunch on the island, until the evening when we were exhausted from the sun and returned to the pier, there was still a 3rd meal. I can say that I was full with no gaps. The most impressive thing is that every food package here is very environmentally friendly. There is no use of disposable plastic containers that become waste. It is good for the world and good for our friends and I. All the staff took very good care of us. They also took pictures and videos in the water. Of course... This was the 3rd time. There must be a 4th time.

This freediving trip was fun, worthwhile and very filling. We joined a boat with other people but the atmosphere was great, not crowded at all. The staff was lovely and took very good care of us. The food service was the best!!! Breakfast before boarding the boat, lunch, and the best part was the meal after we got back to the pier. We felt exhausted from diving but when we got back to the pier, there were so many delicious food to choose from. Everything was delicious. The food provided on the trip was more than enough to make the day worthwhile. The guide gave us a relaxing time on the island, walking around and taking pictures, without rushing or rushing. The timing was just right. Plus, when we were diving, the guide followed us down to take pictures for us. If you have to come alone, there will definitely be someone to take pictures for you. If you are looking for a good diving trip that takes care of everything and is worth the price, I highly recommend it.
