Full description

This is a 12-hour experience from Phuket, built around Speedboat, Ko Bangu and Ko Miang. It is run by Delight Tours and Travels, 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.

Pickup is offered from Thalang District, Chalong, Phuket, Kathu, Pa Tong and Khao Lak; the exact spot and time are agreed with Delight Tours and Travels once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Round-trip speedboat transfers, Breakfast, Snorkeling equipment, Towels and National Park fees. It does not cover Personal expenses, Tips for guides and Additional beverages, 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.

Delight Tours and Travels sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Delight Tours and Travels before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Great trip, the si.ilan island was beautiful. very fast speedboat which was exciting and felt very safe. Lunch was at another national park island with lots of choice. We were even allowed to take cold drinks off the boat everytime we visited an island.

The Snorkelling was amazing and the islands are beautiful and well worth it, but if you travelling from Phuket, then it is a very long day returning at 7pm. We were very well catered for and there was plenty of food for breakfast, lunch and Tea but unfortunately the lunch was cold. Staff are great and ensure you have an amazing stress free day. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the staff approaching everyone with the Tip jar. I intended to give a tip anyway, but some people may feel under pressure to do so. We had an amazing day and would recommend it.

il tour è molto bello, le Similan Island sono meravigliose...Olivia ed il suo team fantastici, simpatici e molto disponibili...ma consiglio il tour solo se vi trovate vicino al porto di partenza, da Phuket ci sono troppe ore di viaggio, più della metà e diventa troppo stancante...

The staff and lunch very good Similan Islands were beautiful. Unfortunately depending where ur hotel is to take off point can be arduous We spent 4 hours, 2 hours each way to take off point and 1.5 hours, each way in large boat going fairly fast. It’s a reality where islands are but a ton of travel for 5 hours pleasure. Glad we can say we saw but would never entertained if we did more research on timings.

Gemischte Gefühle. Anstelle der Bilder befindet man sich eher in Massentourismus. Der Anbieter fertigt pro Tag mehrere hundert Personen ab. 4-5 Boote mit je ca. 66 Personen. Das sollte vor der Buchung transparenter dargestellt werden. Dementsprechend auf Masse ist das Essen und die Erfahrung auf den Inseln. Die guides waren aber sehr herzlich und wir haben beim Schnorcheln eine Schildkröte gesehen.

Bonne excursion , les lieux sont tellement magnifiques. Trop de touristes par contre… Très bien organisé, on a nous donne un sac avec une paillasse, serviettes, matériel pour snorkelling, 3 repas , de l’eau du pepsi des petites gourmandises plusieurs fois dans la journée Seul bémol le transport en bateau qui est vraiment pas agréable , on dirait du bétail dans une remorque

Frequently Asked Questions

Delight Tours and Travels sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover personal expenses, tips for guides and additional beverages. 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 Island Adventure Tour is typically 12 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.
Yes, all AsiaByLocals guides are licensed professionals who have been rigorously vetted through background checks, skill assessments, and customer reviews. 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.
