Full description

This is a 12-hour experience from Phuket, built around Fantastic Similan Travel, Speedboat and Miang Island (Koh.4) Similan. It is run by Oh-Hoo, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Thai Traditional Food, Fresh fruits and Drink, Snorkeling and Insurance. It does not cover National park fee, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Phuket. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Oh-Hoo before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The trip was wonderfully organised and guided by the charismatic Nina. she was bubbling with personality and a sharp sense of humor and always provided us with useful information at each stop. Time management and logistics were smoothly handled. The food could have had a few more healthy options.

What an amazing trip Nina & Freshy were outstanding and very funny. Every stop they made sure to tell us all information and always around to take photo. Every stop gave you something different and snorkelling points where very good we saw every even a shark and again you will find Nina & Freshy is the water making sure you don’t miss a thing. Food you won’t go hungry and plenty of drink too. I would recommend Fantastic Similan Travel to anybody.

Absolutely fantastic - the guides Siri and Freshy on the boat Fantastic 1 and the whole team were wonderful throughout the whole tour. The boat trip, snorkelling, visits to the beautiful island and the food were absolutely fabulous. I would definitely recommend booking this tour to one of the most beautiful places I have visited. The tour team had such great energy and knowledge, even pointing out the turtles for us during snorkelling ! Fabulous trip

From the start the planning was clear , breakfast dinner snacks and cold drinks provided all day, the speedboat was busy but the staff and the boat crew made our time! The most clear water I’ve ever seen! Absolutely worth the money and a great way to see the islands.

Hotel pickup in Kamala in a well air cooled van was great, a long journey to Khao lak and back didn’t take away the overall experience of this trip in all honesty. The meals provided by this tour is what you would expect! Our “main guide” Siri was another level, full of bounce, and literally you clung to her every word and action. The other guides were cool and throughout the trip were always interacting with you asking if you’d like photos taken, a lovely touch, not as commanding as Siri but we got on well with all the guides to be honest. As for the tour to the similan islands…these islands

Well organized activity, cheerful team and guides, stunning views and unforgettable experience! Definitely worth the money despite it’s a bit far from Phuket - around 2 hours with a van to the pier and another 1 h and 15 - 30 min with the boat to the islands. Amazing marine world and the snorkelling is highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

The price does not cover national park fee(400thb per adult and 200thb per child).. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Not in rough sea. The Andaman side is calm from November to April and choppy from May to October, when the marine office can close the piers at short notice; if that happens the operator moves you to the next day or refunds in full. Seasickness tablets the night before help on speedboats, and Maya Bay itself closes to visitors in August and September each year.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The dry season from November to April offers the best weather for island-hopping tours and beach activities.

Standard precautions apply: use reputable transport, stay aware in crowded areas, and book verified tours through trusted platforms. For water activities, all our tours include safety equipment and experienced crew.
The top experiences include: the Phi Phi Islands for snorkeling and Maya Bay, Phang Nga Bay for dramatic limestone cliffs and James Bond Island, the Big Buddha for panoramic views, Wat Chalong temple, and the charming Phuket Old Town for street food and Sino-Portuguese architecture. See our things to do guide for the complete list.
Yes! Direct flights between Phuket and Bangkok take just 1 hour 20 minutes. We recommend 3–4 days in Phuket for island tours, then 2–3 days in Bangkok for temples, markets, and street food. Our local guides operate in both cities for seamless trip planning.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering water sports before booking any speedboat tour or island-hopping excursion. While all our boats carry safety equipment and licensed crews, Thai hospital costs can be significant without coverage. Ensure your policy covers emergency medical evacuation and water activity accidents.
