Good but way too many people

Beautiful islands with beautiful white sandy beaches. The only problem is that there are far too many people and we were too tight in the boat all this spoils this excursion a bit

The sea, the scenery is very beautiful and the staff is fun

The staff (especially my sister) were very interesting and entertained everyone. The breakfast before departure is delicious. Be careful not to minimize your belongings or your boat seat will fill up with luggage.

Je suis désolé que vous n'aimiez pas l'expérience. Cependant, veuillez noter qu'il s'agit d'une haute saison et que c'est plus touristique que la période normale et vous ne pouvez pas en vouloir au voyagiste pour cela. En voyageant en hors-bord, vous ne voyez presque rien sauf que vous êtes assis à l'avant (ce qui est beaucoup plus cahoteux) car le bateau a un bord élevé pour vous empêcher du vent fort lorsqu'il roule à grande vitesse et c'est le caractère normal d'un hors-bord. Si vous voulez profiter de la vue, il vaut mieux réserver un grand bateau qui est beaucoup plus lent mais vous pouvez profiter de la vue.

Turquoise waters and white sandy beaches, what's not to like....

We were taken from our hotel to the Fantastic Similan Travel pier check in desk and were given our dark blue wristband and bag with beach mat, towels snorkel & masks. Our guide was Siri & our speedboat was no. 8. The first stop was the viewpoint with lovely turquoise waters & white sand followed by 2 snorkelling stops, the first we saw colurful fish & the latter we saw several sea turtles. We then stopped on another island for lunch before having a lovely swim on a white sandy beach. A great day out. Thanks Siri.

Whirlwind tour

I really enjoyed the islands. A whirlwind tour, though they were very busy with boats and people. The reps were fantastic though. The lunch wasn't great, so would suggest taking your own (as the reps did!) App won't let me upload a pic.

Operator response

Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience. Your comments regarding the lunch will be taken into consideration for improvement.
