★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 23 reviews · 9 hours · from $112

A 9-hour Similan Islands day trip from Khao Lak with speedboat rides, sailboat-rock views, and two snorkeling stops plus Thai lunch.

“Activities were good but we didn’t see much marine life and transportation took up a lot of the day. I would cut short the breakfast/afternoon tea hour at the pier and put that towards spending more time on the islands. Otherwise, guides and overall day was great - more family friendly than adventure.”

A full-day Similan Islands snorkeling trip from Phuket or Khao Lak with Sailing Rock, sea turtle hopes, and Thai picnic beaches.

“De stranden waren prachtig met echt helder water! De reis er naar toe was alleen vervelend, lange reistijd met taxi, je komt eerst in een schuur terecht met ongeveer 200/300 man waar je je meld, dan pik je je strandtas op en kan je ontbijten (eten was redelijk) Daarna ga je met je groep (40man) naar je boot en vaar je eerst 130 minuten voor je er bent. Stranden zijn waanzinnig, snorkelen viel me tegen (weinig vis) De lunch op het eiland was redelijk. Terugkomend in de schuur kon je eerst douchen en ‘dineren’ (erg matig eten) voor je met de taxi terug ging. Helaas hadden we last van het…”

Una delle guide ha anche fatto un video con la gopro e lo ha inviato a tutti i partecipanti. In due spot abbiamo fatto snorkeling (fondali spettacolari), in uno abbiamo pranzato e in un altro siamo scesi per stare sia in spiaggia a fare il bagno che per salire sul punto panoramico sopra tutti quei sassi scenici famosi delle Similan. Per quanto riguarda il cibo ci sono state offerte una colazione e una cena a un buffet a terra, non sul catamarano, piuttosto ricche!”

“Positiv: -toller Abholservice (ca. 2.5h aus Ao Nang pro Weg) -freundliche und lustige Guides -Mittagessen war gut Negativ: -man kommt um 8 an und muss erst einmal "Frühstücken", welches nicht zumutbar war, wir empfehlen, vorher zu essen, bzw. selbst etwas mitzunehmen - um 12 gab es bereits wieder essen..und dann wieder um 17 (unserer Meinung nach viel zu viel) -das Moken Dorf ist nur ein Ort zum Souvenirs kaufen mit viel rumliegendem Müll -Unzumutbare Toiletten beim Lunch Spot -Total überfüllt (wenn es die Möglichkeit gibt, eine private Tour zu anderen Uhrzeiten zu machen, würde ich dies empfehlen) -3 Schnorchel Stops, bei denen man immer das Gleiche gesehen hat Insgesamt war…”
