Full description

This is a 9-hour experience from Phuket, built around Ko Miang, Local restaurant and Ko Payu. It is run by One Asia Corporation, 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.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers Tour guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off in Phuket province, Breakfast, International buffet lunch and Snack. It does not cover National Park Fees, Personal expenses and Tips and gratuity, 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.

Hotel pickup in Phuket. One Asia Corporation confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with One Asia Corporation before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

I had an unforgettable day at the Similan Islands with Fantastic Similan on Boat 9. Our tour guide was outstanding — very professional, kind, and always making sure everyone was safe and enjoying the trip. The Boat 9 team worked together perfectly, from the crew to the snorkeling staff. I was excited from the beginning until the end. The islands were even more beautiful than I expected. Truly a fantastic experience!

The crew members were absolutely amazing! They went above and beyond to make us comfortable and helped us enjoy our trip. What really stood out was their attentiveness - they kept checking in on us, offering drinks and food, and even offered to take pictures for us! 😊" Nina, Siri, and two other girls I dont remember name but were taking very good care of all guests.

We were taken care of at every step, the guides are AMAZING, so so much fun. Everything was run and communicated perfectly and we felt the time in each place was spot on. Everything was included that we could have needed and we were fed loads too! Cannot recommend highly enough.

The driver was nice and a smooth ride to and from our hotel. We like the beach bag that was supplied (towels, snorkel etc.). Ample food, drinks and snacks throughout the day. Good amount of time in each spot, didn't feel rushed. Nancy and the crew on the boat were just fabulous! I would highly recommend. Good value for money.

Had an amazing day exploring the Similan Islands! The entire team at Fantastic Similan Travel was enthusiastic and professional. Our guide was hilarious and kept us entertained while ensuring everyone felt safe and comfortable. The little touches, like the beach bag with a towel and mat, made the day so much easier. Highly recommend if you want a well-organized trip.

The trip was amazing, the beaches were beautiful, and the organization of the tour was excellent. Nancy was a great guide. We have nothing to complain about—everything was perfect. The journey takes quite a long time, but it’s definitely worth it.

Everything was very good organized. Guides were awesome. The views are wow. We even saw a turtle while swimming. Just have in mind Similan islands are full or crowds, just like the it. Is in Phi Phi.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Phuket. One Asia Corporation confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover national park fees (add-on), personal expenses and tips and gratuity. 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 duration of the Similan full-day trip by speedboat is typically 9 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.
Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.
Yes! All our private tours are fully customizable. Whether you want to add extra stops, skip certain locations, change the pace, or adjust the start time — simply let your guide know in advance or on the day. We aim to create a personalized experience tailored to your interests and energy level.
We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a partial charge depending on the tour type. Weather-related cancellations for outdoor and boat tours are handled on a case-by-case basis, with full refunds or free rebooking offered when safety is a concern.
Most of our experiences are family-friendly and suitable for children of all ages. However, some tours involving extensive walking, water activities, or early morning starts may be better suited for children aged 5 and above. Please check the specific tour description for age recommendations, or contact us for personalized family itinerary advice.
After booking, you will receive detailed meeting point instructions via email. Most tours include complimentary hotel pickup within the central area. For tours without pickup, your confirmation email will include the exact address, Google Maps pin, and your guide's phone number for easy coordination. Guides typically arrive 10 minutes early and will message you on WhatsApp.
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, Apple Pay, and Razorpay for Indian cards. All payments are processed through a PCI-compliant secure gateway with 256-bit encryption. You can also pay in multiple currencies — the price is automatically converted to your local currency at checkout.

Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
The dry season from November to April offers the best weather for island-hopping tours and beach activities. December to March is peak season with calm seas, perfect for Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay boat trips. May to October (monsoon) is quieter and cheaper but some boat tours may be affected by rough seas. See our Phuket travel guide for detailed month-by-month advice.
Phuket is one of Southeast Asia's safest tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure, friendly locals, and a strong tourist police presence. 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.
