Great experience
Great tour. The staff were really great and took good care of us. They also cared for my food allergy. The islands are so beautiful.

Good but way too many people
Beautiful islands with beautiful white sandy beaches. The only problem is that there are far too many people and we were too tight in the boat all this spoils this excursion a bit
Response from the operator: Merci pour votre avis. Nous sommes heureux de savoir que vous avez apprécié l'expérience. Nous sommes désolés pour le bateau bondé, mais veuillez noter que nous n'accueillons jamais d'invités au-delà de la capacité enregistrée du bateau. Habituellement, c'est 5 à 15 personnes de moins que la capacité du bateau.

The sea, the scenery is very beautiful and the staff is fun
The staff (especially my sister) were very interesting and entertained everyone. The breakfast before departure is delicious. Be careful not to minimize your belongings or your boat seat will fill up with luggage.
Response from the operator: レビューいただきありがとうございます。この体験を気に入っていただけたことを嬉しく思います。

Don't trap tourists Hundreds of people Boats everywhere speed boats that are not small
Don't trap tourists Hundreds of tourists Boats everywhere Speed boats that are not We are supposedly received for breakfast in a shed like cattle To make us climb out of the boats where we see nothing Tt is chronometer Frankly a day of M
Response from the operator: Je suis désolé que vous n'aimiez pas l'expérience. Cependant, veuillez noter qu'il s'agit d'une haute saison et que c'est plus touristique que la période normale et vous ne pouvez pas en vouloir au voyagiste pour cela. En voyageant en hors-bord, vous ne voyez presque rien sauf que vous êtes assis à l'avant (ce qui est beaucoup plus cahoteux) car le bateau a un bord élevé pour vous empêcher du vent fort lorsqu'il roule à grande vitesse et c'est le caractère normal d'un hors-bord. Si vous voulez profiter de la vue, il vaut mieux réserver un grand bateau qui est beaucoup plus lent mais vous pouvez profiter de la vue.

Turquoise waters and white sandy beaches, what's not to like....
We were taken from our hotel to the Fantastic Similan Travel pier check in desk and were given our dark blue wristband and bag with beach mat, towels snorkel & masks. Our guide was Siri & our speedboat was no. 8. The first stop was the viewpoint with lovely turquoise waters & white sand followed by 2 snorkelling stops, the first we saw colurful fish & the latter we saw several sea turtles. We then stopped on another island for lunch before having a lovely swim on a white sandy beach. A great day out. Thanks Siri.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience. Your kind words will be shared with our tour guide, Siri.

Similan Islands Day Tour from Phuket and Khao Lak: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Khao Lak.
How much does Similan Islands Day Tour from Phuket and Khao Lak cost?
+
Prices start at $92 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Khao Lak usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Similan Islands Day Tour from Phuket and Khao Lak take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Khao Lak is not rushed.
Is Similan Islands Day Tour from Phuket and Khao Lak worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Khao Lak, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Similan Islands Day Tour from Phuket and Khao Lak?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Similan Islands Day Tour from Phuket and Khao Lak suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Similan Islands Day Tour from Phuket and Khao Lak?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Khao Lak can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Khao Lak and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Similan Islands Day Tour from Phuket and Khao Lak start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Khao Lak within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Khao Lak?
+
On Outty we rank every Khao Lak experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Thai Cooking Class in Khao Lak by Amazon Prime Series Chef, Riverside Thai Cooking Half Day Class, Riverside Thai Cooking Class in Khao Lak with Market Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Khao Lak?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Khao Lak?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: National park fee (mandatory, 500 THB per adult and 250 THB per child, pay on spot). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
