Disaster trip!
It is disaster trip! We get out from hotel at 06:20 and finaly boarded at 10. All time we awaiting at sun! The guid Nikita is not proffessional and speak with us like we are friend but it is must be politcorrect. Huge delay and erase evening plans. Please think first before you will go with this company. Totaly exhausted before boarding. Disaster trip.
Response from the operator: Dear valued customer, We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. We apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the delays and the unprofessional behavior of our guide, Nikita. Your experience does not reflect the high standards we strive to maintain. Rest assured, we will address these issues internally to ensure they are not repeated in the future. Your satisfaction is of utmost importance to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to make it right on your next adventure with us. Warm regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Great Tour...Food, so so
I'm rating this very good because the snorkel tour was amazing, except the baby jellyfish, but it made for an interesting experience! The Staff had it dialed for check-in and everything else, they were amazing? The only thing that could be better was the food. It wasn't very good, the food was luke warm; lunch was especially disappointing. The food was cold, the chicken was chewy and not many people eat squid like Thai's do. Besides the food, everything else was amazing!

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Similan Islands Snorkeling VIP Tour From Phuket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Similan Islands Snorkeling VIP Tour From Phuket cost?
+
Prices start at $3077 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 VIP Tour 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 VIP Tour From Phuket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 4 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 VIP Tour 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 VIP Tour 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 VIP Tour From Phuket?
+
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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Similan Islands Snorkeling VIP Tour 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.
