Horrible Experience
The tour operator was terribly rude, because he was in a hurry he drove extremely recklessly, he shouted at us for talking in the car. The day before the trip I contacted him 6 times via Viator and whatsapp to get an exact pick up time. He was reading my messages and not replying at all. We were not informed in advance that there would be a 2 hour car trip to the port where the boat was picking us up. The food and drinks on this trip are not edible, really poor quality. The only positive thing about the experience was the boat crew, they were trying really hard to provide a good experience for guests. Kudos to the boat crew and please think twice if you want to book with this operator. Also, we found out at the boat pier that the same trip was purchased by other tourists from other operators at half the price we paid. Extremely disappointing and one of the worst experiences. Last thing, beware that the trip duration is listed at 7 hours, it was actually 13 hours from pick up to drop off. Also, this is meant to be for 10-15 guests. There were 29 adults and 7 kids on the boat on the day, apart from the crew.
Response from the operator: We are very sorry to understand that you have got not a favorable time with us, We will inform our operator and take strict action on this part, Rest details of time and boat is all mentioned in our program. Also we wish to inform you that every speed boat is having 20-30 person not 10-15 guest, we can only take maximum 10-15 person maximum per booking. we really appreciate your kindness that you have taken a trip, we have tried our best to provide you the good service. however we will do more to make sure your review become the last one for this product. Truly apologies regards

Beautiful
This is about the 4th time I have done this trip I just love this island it’s by far the best island trip you will do the water is so blue and so clear great for pictures if you walk up to the Donald Duck rock or just lax around the beach my only thing is I wish the spent more time at the island and less time stopping and starting snorkling ect but I’ve yet to find a company that just goes there and stays for the day or atlest 4 hours it’s a long day pick up in Patong area is about 6 am and you generally do not get back till about 8 pm depending on traffic as the drive to the boat is nearly 2 hours each way but well worth it the most beautiful island and water I have ever seen
Response from the operator: Thanks for sharing your travel experience with us . Hope that you had a great leisure time during the tour .

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Similan Islands Snorkeling Tour from Phuket – Full Day with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Similan Islands Snorkeling Tour from Phuket – Full Day with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $4919 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 from Phuket – Full Day with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 from Phuket – Full Day with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 from Phuket – Full Day with Lunch?
+
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 from Phuket – Full Day with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Similan Islands Snorkeling Tour from Phuket – Full Day with Lunch?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Similan Islands Snorkeling Tour from Phuket – Full Day with Lunch 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.
