By far the best and most organized daily cruise we had in Thailand! Surin island is totally a hidden gem but so is Seastar. Everything is extremely organized and well-thought out. The stuff was great and they provided everything we could need for the best experience of the reefs (snorkeling equipment, flippers etc) at no extra charge. We were also impressed by the regular and very nice complimentary food, drinks, snacks, fruit and beverages. The only downside is the long travel hours from phuket to surin and back, approximately 4 hours each way (2,5 hours in the van from patong beach and 1,5 h

The Surin Islands are gorgeous and not as crowded as most of the other islands. I have done a lot of Island Day Trips from Phuket and these were by far the most beautiful with amazing snorkling spots. To manage your expectations. Van Transport from and to Phuket is 2.5h instead of 1.5h as advertised. Speedboat takes 2-2.5h instead of 1h as advertised, depending on sea condition. That being said it is 100% worth it. Seaconditions can be pretty rough and youre bouncing very harshly, which is not easy on the spine. However they do ask in advance if any guests have injuries or recent surgeries. De

It was a long day as the journey takes about 3h+ each way. However the trip was well organised and comfortable. The pickup/ drop-off were good, and the boat was comfortable and well equipped. The islands were fantastic and we had 3 stops for snorkeling. The waters are clear and clean and there were lots of corals. A great day!

Retki oli todella hyvä! Mustalaisten kylän visiitin voisi jättää väliin tai lyhentää vierailuaikaa. Oppaat, ruoka yms oli todella hyvät! Kivaa plussaa oli myös se että retkeen kuului pyyhe.

I just didn’t like that in the itinerary it said we would spend between 1-2 hours at each place but it was like 30-45 min max in each place and also it says 1.5 hour van ride but it was more like 2.5 hours in a crammed van

The islands were beautiful and the staff were great but it’s not at all what’s advertised in the itinerary. Was 2 and a half hour van ride to Seastar from our hotel in the far north of Phuket so add another hour if you’re in the city. Our boat went out and then went back to pick up 3 people who were late so our whole day was impacted by them being late back to the boat at every single stop. We had an hour and 20 on mu Koh Surin national park to eat lunch/explore/swim. We did not return here. Then went went to the moken village for a total of 25 minutes. Which was insanely disappointing because

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.

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.
