Review for: Pickup from Phuket

This is an absolutely great tour, from the pick up to the drop off! extremely well organized and all the stuff we interacted with was amazing! Food throughout the day was delicious and the coconut ice cream on the boat was such a great surprise and help us staying refreshed. The boat ride to Similiani islands is 1.5h long and bumpy but that was expected as the islands are very far away although totally worth. The beaches, the colors of the water, the snorkeling all is a life time experience including the short hike on top of the rocks. Highly recommend booking this tour with Wow Andaman company as you’ll be in great hands and very well taken care of. Also our driver was excellent and we are very thankful for the pleasent ride with him.

Review for: Pickup from Khao Lak

We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the beautiful sea. Advance communication was smooth via email and WhatsApp. After making a reservation, you need to send a copy of your passport by email in advance. Also, after checking in at the hotel, you need to tell them your hotel room number via WhatsApp. In fact, there was a 30-minute difference between the pick-up time we confirmed in advance and the time the shuttle staff said, and we received a call from the hotel front desk while we were preparing to leave. There was a lot of waiting time at the pier, and in addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, there was always cola fanta on the boat. The staff also served ice cream in a cone. After returning from the boat snorkel, the ice cream we ate on the boat was the best. Also, when we returned to the pier, we were given fruit service, and the food and drink service from morning to evening was by far the best of any tour I have ever participated in. I didn't expect a lunch box on the island, but it was very delicious. There is also a toilet on the island. I think it is better maintained than I expected. The water flowed properly. I think it's a good idea to bring wet tissues to the table at lunch time. In the morning, we left our sandals when we got on the boat, so we went barefoot to climb the rocks of the Similan Islands. There were some mountain paths along the way that were quite rough, but that was fun too. If you have sensitive soles, barefoot might be a bit uncomfortable. We did a total of three boat snorkels and spent some time relaxing on the beach, and enjoyed the spectacular views of the Similan Islands that I had been interested in for a while. However, I was a little disappointed that there were fewer fish than I expected, but at the second boat snorkel point, a sea turtle gracefully appeared, and I was able to snorkel with the sea turtle, which was a wonderful experience. The inside of the boat was also clean, so I was able to participate with peace of mind. It was a fun day.

great trip, from the start, we were picked up from our hotel in Karon, trip to the boat took around 2 hours, a bit far, later, they had breakfast ready, not the greatest but does the job. Then they take a pic for you with camera, which later you can buy for 209 baht when you come back. we boarded the boat, big and spacious, Andaman No. 11, i think it’s the best between the boats there in terms of space and facilities. trip to first island took around 1.30 hours, then the remaining islands are around 10-25 mins, you stay about 40 mins in each other than the island for launch, 1.30 hours. great snacks and icecream, soft drinks also. trip back around 1.30h with dinner upon arrival. staff were very nice and special thanks to Poo. totally , just people some heat and sun protection as the sun will not tolerate.

Overall it was very good. The chicken porridge for breakfast and lunch were surprisingly delicious, unlike other island hopping trips which only had simple toast and juice. The coconut ice cream on the boat and on the return trip was also very delicious. The group members were also very enthusiastic to help. For taking photos, the only suggestion is that the Chinese tour guide is too loud and a bit vulgar

They provided breakfast/lunch/dinner, so I was able to enjoy my time leisurely without a tight schedule^^ I think the snorkeling spot was also really great. I saw sea turtles and there were a lot of different kinds of fish. The island was cute and the sea was pretty.

Good to know

Get an early pickup service from the hotel in Phuket by air-conditioned minivan and get driven to the pier in Khao Lak. After a warm welcome by the Wow Andaman team, enjoy a light breakfast with coffee and tea, and pick out your snorkeling gear. Your guide will give you useful safety instructions and information about the tour program before cruising to the Similan Islands in less than 90 minutes.

The first stop will be at Koh Miang (Island No. 4) where you can enjoy the beautiful views of the white sand contrasting the color of the sea. If you are lucky, you can spot Nicobar flying foxes and Nicobar pigeons.

Head further to Koh Payu (Island No. 7) which offers stunning snorkeling spots rich in hard and soft corals. Spot colourful species of fish which are swimming among the coral reefs.

After a short cruise you will arrive at Ko Bangu (Island No. 9). It is the northern most island with one of the best snorkeling spots for varied fish life on it’s eastern side, a arch of reef called Breakfast Bend laden with sea fans, staghorns growths and coral outcrops.

Are you feeling hungry? Savour a delicious picnic lunch on a secluded, white-sand beach on Koh Similan (Island No. 8). It is the largest island with stunning views and hikes through jungle and over mountains. After lunch you can walk up to the Sailing Rock which is a huge rock formation on the upper part of the beach, where at the lookout point a massive rock is shaped like a ship’s sail.

Then it's already time to head back to the pier in Khao Lak where you can enjoy a light meal before the driver will take you safely back to the hotel in Phuket with lasting impressions and nice memories.
