We had such a good experience with Seastar - so professional and kind
I had an amazing time with Seastar tour from Phuket to Similan Islands. Seastar was very professional and I felt safe, happy and well fed! We were picked up from our hotel, transported to their place and there we were prepared for the trip, having breakfast and getting additional information. After that we drove in the boat to Similan Islands, where we snorkled, swam and enjoyed the islands. They were amazingly beautiful and it was a very special and clear water. I can definitely recommend trips with Seastar, very professional and kind.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. We are thrilled to hear that you had an amazing time on your trip, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and clear waters. Your kind words about the professionalism and hospitality are truly appreciated. We hope to welcome you again on another unforgettable journey in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Not accommodating
We booked through get your guide with oh hoo travel. I become sick and was in hospital on a drip and get your guide said aslong as oh hoo can confirm we can change the date. Oh hoo didn’t reply to get your guide or answer and didn’t reply to my WhatsApps. Obviously they were just happy to keep the money, instead of being a good company. Now wanting to rebook but won’t be rebooking with them since I wouldn’t want to give my money to them again
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Customer, We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and, most importantly, that you were unwell. We understand how frustrating it must have been not to receive a response when trying to reschedule your booking due to medical reasons. It is disappointing to hear that communication was lacking in this situation, and we will raise this issue with the tour operator to ensure better responsiveness in the future. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we regret that this experience has led you to look elsewhere for future bookings. We hope you are feeling better now, and if there’s anything we can do to assist you further, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Best regards, Oh Hoo Travel

Highlight of Thailand
Well run professional operation. Very friendly and helpful staff. A very long day but well worth it. Much less crowded than a lot of the other islands and better snorkeling. Definitely the highlight of our Thailand holiday.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We’re delighted to hear that you found the tour professionally run and that our team was friendly and helpful throughout the day. Thank you again for your kind words. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

The Similan island trip was nothing short of amazing
The Similan island trip was nothing short of amazing. The transfer is by air conditioned mini bus, taking you to the Sea Star HQ where you are given a buffet of hot and cold breakfast with drinks. We chose the 2 storey catamaran option which gave loads of room with all seats were shaded and comfy. Lovely calm snorkelling spots with lots of fish. You have plenty of time on each island and a lovely set seafood lunch served with unlimited chicken and vegetables. When we arrived back at the Sea Star HQ there was another buffet selection offered of rice, noodles, fried chicken etc while having the opportunity to have a toilet break and change out of swimsuit before the transfer home. Everything has been considered to improve the experience with extra touches such as additional snacks, free flowing soft drinks, use of snorkelling equipment, floats for less confident swimmers and a guide in the water with you to help spot fish (and we were lucky enough to see a turtle too)! You can also hire a go pro for the day where you can take the SD card home with you. The organisation was exceptional and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Be warned it is an early pick up and possibly a long transfer depending where you stay (we stayed in Ratsada so the transfer was around 1.5 hours there and 2 hours back) so in total took around 14 hours but it was a jam packed day where no time was wasted and an amazing experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend Sea Star and the Similan Island tour.

Amazing Similan Tour by Seastar Andaman
Very well organized tour and dedicated team. Boat trip takes about 90 minutes to the snorkeling sites and can be a choppy ride. Tour operator prepared motion sickness pill to those who require. Not advisable for heavy breakfast prior to the boat ride. Otherwise food , drinks and gears for snorkeling are we’ll provided.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Similan Islands Snorkeling Tour By Seastar Andaman From Phuket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Similan Islands Snorkeling Tour By Seastar Andaman From Phuket cost?
+
Prices start at $3300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket 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 Snorkeling Tour By Seastar Andaman From Phuket take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Phuket is not rushed.
Is Similan Islands Snorkeling Tour By Seastar Andaman From Phuket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Similan Islands Snorkeling Tour By Seastar Andaman From Phuket?
+
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 Snorkeling Tour By Seastar Andaman From Phuket suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 11-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Similan Islands Snorkeling Tour By Seastar Andaman From Phuket?
+
Around 5 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 Phuket 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 Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Similan Islands Snorkeling Tour By Seastar Andaman From Phuket 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 Phuket 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 Phuket?
+
On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phang Nga Bay Canoeing & James Bond Island Tour from Phuket. 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 Phuket?
+
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 Phuket?
+
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.
