Speedboat Day Trip to Similan Islands from Phuket/Khao Lak

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.

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.

From the pick up to hotel, before, during, and after the trip and up until to drop off back to hotel were smooth and amazing. pick up and drop off were on time. There were breakfast (before the trip) and dinner (after the trip) included. During the trip, all the staff were helpful, attentive to the needs of the tourists, and corteous. Great exeprience not to mention it's my second time to book with Wow Andaman. Looking forward to book again in the future.

This is my first review on KLOOK and it was absolutely a wonderful experience! Before the trip I saw so many reviews online that their Similan experience was not so good which made me feel a bit worried, but everything of this trip is so well planned and organized. None of the expected problems happened to us, speaking about the pick-up time, lunch and the entire itinerary. The guides and staffs are very friendly and helpful. The snorkeling spots are clean and beautiful! We even saw dolphins and sea turtle!

It was an amazing day with excellent organization. Much better than other companies, that’s why you pay more. The color of the water is unbelievable, the food is good, I only wish a bit more time on islands.

Great organization and guide team. It took us ~2h for us to get to the pier from Karon and then we had to~1.5, so total more than 6 hours of the day spent in transportation. However the islands are amazing 🤩 Beautiful beaches and landscapes. We did three stops for snorkeling and saw a lot of beautiful corals and fishes. Also, we saw a sea turtle 🐢

The transfer from Karon to the pier was comfy, but you should be prepared, it takes 2-3 hours, depends on traffic. The speedboat was also decent. It took 75 minutes one way. They provide pills for motion sickness if you'd like. And they have everything you need on board, very reliable. Also different soft drinks and food for guests. The team was very welcoming. But I wish stopovers were at least 30% longer and it would be better to go earlier. We didn't have much time to enjoy the islands. We spent 1 hour 30 minutes at the pier before departure, too long. We had 3 snorkeling spots and the first one was really poor I would rather skip it. Anyway the trip was good, definitely recommended. The islands are beautiful. We've seen a turtle!

really wonderful islands. The transport is very long, from Patong ca~2hrs bus+1,5hrs boat (1way only) but worth it. Most important , time spent at the locations was enough on the islands as well as during snorkeling.(not just stop for a photo and rush away:) ).The crew was nice, offering drinks and snacks all day, meals were good.

It was overall great and good services! they contacted me via email and also WhatsApp for a copy of passport and confirming the name of hotel with notes on stuff to bring etc. As we drove to the pier by ourselves and had breakfast from hotel already, we could arrive later than original pick up by them. At the pier, you may borrow the fins for 200baht deposit which will be return after the trip when you return the fins back to the pier. As the first stop was just for photos and swim (not snorkelling) at a nice beach, I suggest you wear what you would for snorkeling already or bring your stuff to the first stop to get changed, because the toilet in the boat is very small and the second stop would be in the middle of the water where you start snokelling directly. We went in early May but the sea was quite wavy already and many people had sea sick when the boat was stop. The staff provided bottled water, plastic bags for vomitting, candies throughout. After the first snorkelling, ice cream and sodas and other snacks were served. Lunch box was provided and it was not hot as expected but tasty was not bad. You could also join a short hike at the island where you have lunch (but we decided to rest and didn’t join and regretted after). The final island has most fishes and corals to see. For those who don’t know how to swim, you can grab the lifebuoy and the staff would swim and pull the lifebuoy around for snorkelling. Dinner was also provided at the pier. It was a fun! :)

They provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner, pick up/drop off all accommodations, and the travel time by boat is quite long, and the snorkeling point is also great!! Everyone is so kind. There was almost unlimited drinks, snacks, and ice cream on the ship, so everyone in my group was satisfied.
