Very well organized and run outfit. Everything was on time with transport and food provided was very good. Our guide, Moana, was exceptional! She spoke English well and they also had German and Russian speaking guides on the boat. Moana took time to explain much about the islands and also took me around to some spots she knew when snorkeling and took some photos for me as well. The corals in the Surin islands are amazing. Unfortunately, there was a lot of plankton so the water wasn’t as clear the day that we went. I highly recommend this tour and especially Moana as a guide!

This is truly a once in a lifetime trip. The fact that a pick up was available all the way in Chalong (2.5hr away from the port) demonstrated their amazing logistical coordination efforts. I’ve been to the Philippines but the coral reefs at the national park (Khao Lak) are sublime, they are colourful with varying species. The trip was also a nice manageable small group and you never felt out of place. Plus Moana as a host gets 10/10, matter of fact the whole team. I’ve been to other Island tours on Phuket but honestly nothing compares to this.

The snorkeling and the lunch spot were fantastic. The reefs were very interesting and the beach at lunch was one of the prettiest I have seen anywhere in the world. The boat felt a little bit like a cattle barge, as we were packed right in to capacity and the walls of the boat were high so you could not see out other than looking straight out the back. The tour was a very competent logistics operation: Everything was on time, but I felt a little bit like a widget in the process. Overall it was worth it though.

Unforgettable experience. Such a beautiful day. We snorkelled in the most remarkably colourful and pristine reef either of us has ever experienced. Moana, our English-speaking tour guide, was both knowledgeable and funny. Moana literally organised the whole day into the smoothest, well-coordinated outing. 10/10 The reef itself was exceptional, with vibrant colours, so many coral layers and surrounded by an abundance of fish. The exceptional visibility made for a sensational day. The tour was structured so as to avoid all crowds. There were no extra fees for park entrance. Both lunch on the isl

Es war ein unglaublicher Tag ! Wir haben riesige intakte Korallenriffe gesehen. So viele bunte Farben und große Korallenformationen sieht man fast nirgends mehr auf der Welt. Und das beste, wir waren an allen Spots das einzige Boot. Surin Islands nur mit dieser Tour !!

The price does not cover gratuities for the captain & guide and personal spending money. 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. 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.
