Similan the most beautiful of islands!! - The most beautiful island!!! The sand, the beach really beautiful. Too bad that cannot stay on the island. It's definitely worth a visit.

Amazing - Amazing experience. Staffs are very friendly. Very beautiful island. Worth it. We had a break for a luch and everything was good.

Awesomeness for sure - Lots of energy with this passionate team. Their enthusiasm and attention to detail provided an exceptional experience. Loved being all the stops. Snorkeling was great. Food was good. Highly recommended tour.

Great - Only for ppl that can dive. The islands are beautiful, the tour guide was very nice. But as I said this trip is for ppl that want to dive

Simlan tour - Guide was relly good she spotted turtle when we snorled and had relly fun time. We were among your first groups so we avoided the worst crowds.

Over too fast, not enough time on the islands - It was a lovely day, but I was the only English speaker on my boat, this was a bit awkward, also you only get 30mins per island. I would recommend booking a night on one of the islands, this can be organised by Trip Advisor

Tour to Semilan from Antoshk tour. - Bought a day tour to Semilany, from tour operator Antoshka tour. On 4. My wife and I, daughter 17 and daughter eight. I want to share my impressions. The islands are beautiful. Nature, the emerald clear ocean, we were lucky and on the last island on one side there was a small storm and my daughters and I were swimming in the waves. Saw and swam with the turtles (just a little, but the gestalt was closed :)). Photographed from the heart. The tour was a success. But I'll give you a 4 not a 5, which is for arranging the tour. And I'll explain why. 1. When you take a tour, you expect it to be on the road and it's a minute (60 minutes) to the point of loading on the boat. You'll have a Russian-speaking guide who'll tell you a little bit about the country itself, where we're going, etc. Eventually the guide showed up just before boarding and unfortunately it turned out that the guy was not a guide but just a coordinator. Which actually tells you which way it is and how much time you have on that location. (Give credit, took a tour of the Avatar, also the story of the guide about nothing 🤷🏼‍♂️ I.E. Just nice and polite young people who don't understand the job of a tour guide. 2. Find out what you're going to use to get to the islands. If the speed bot (speedboat 🚤) is Russian roulette. The first is shaken by an extremely eerie noise (which is a two-hour journey one way) and (and even if the guide is good he won't tell you anything). Second, 30% of passengers simply threw up and the crew regularly took out the bags. Our coordinator used to say that sometimes everyone throws up 😂. That's not how the tour works. But if the sea is calm, 80 minutes of noise and voila. Therefore, I recommend that you clarify this point immediately with the manager and that you take a tour by catamaran or large ship. But find out by guide. They fed it three times. Normal, you won't starve. They even gave wine and ice cream at the end. Otherwise, it's fine. Picked up from the hotel, returned to the hotel. Any misunderstandings that arose were resolved.

Mixed Experience – Important Details Not Disclosed - My rating for this tour depends on different factors: • Breakfast upon arrival: 4/5 • Lunch (options & quality): 3/5 • Hydration & snacks: 2/5 – No fruit, only water in cups and a local soda. If you needed a zero-calorie option, only water was available. They did offer packaged cakes. • Coffee, tea & cookies at the pier upon return: 5/5 – A nice touch. • Bag with towel, beach mat & snorkeling mask: A thoughtful detail, but the mask’s mouthpiece was used. A new one cost $7. • Minivan driver: 1/5 – Unprofessional, reckless, and slow. Now the review: First, nowhere does it mention that the transfer from Phuket hotels to the pier takes 1.5 hours. On the way back, it took over 2.5 hours due to traffic. This is essential information for planning. Had I known, I would have stayed near the airport the night before instead of wasting nearly 4 exhausting hours on transfers—especially since the airport is halfway to the pier from my hotel. Upon arrival at the pier, breakfast is provided, and groups are divided by color. Each person receives a bag matching their assigned group. The boat ride takes another 1.5 hours, which is also not mentioned anywhere. Each boat carries 66 passengers plus crew, and only two people know the scripted tour information. No one else speaks proper English, and if you ask anything beyond the script, they simply don’t understand. There were two snorkeling sessions, but all four boats from the company—plus other boats—arrived at the same time. That meant around 300 people in the water simultaneously, turning it into a chaotic and unsafe experience. I decided to get out and sit at the front of the boat to dry off. Surprise: this was the crew’s smoking area. They were putting cigarette butts in cups of water while continuing to smoke, without considering whether it bothered passengers. The Driver – A Nightmare End to the Tour The worst part of my experience was the minivan ride back. The driver had a terrible attitude and was completely distracted. For the last 30 minutes of my ride, he was on the phone the entire time, laughing and slowing down, clearly more focused on his conversation than on driving. After 2.5 hours in the van, I asked him how much longer it would take to reach my hotel. His answer? “30 more minutes.” Are you kidding me? My hotel was only 2 km away at that point, yet he was still driving so badly and slowly that I had no choice but to get out and call a Bolt (local Uber). That decision saved me unnecessary frustration and another half hour trapped in that minivan. Final Thoughts On the way back, I reflected on the experience. Maybe, as a solo traveler who values high-quality service, I was more critical. Perhaps groups, families, or couples would enjoy it differently. If service quality isn’t a concern for you, this tour might work. For me, it wasn’t a great experience. Before arriving back at the pier, the English-speaking staff announced a tip collection. The issue? They passed the tip box around like in a church, making people feel pressured to give, even if they weren’t satisfied with the service. I fully respect the logistical challenge of handling so many people and the hard work of the staff. However, if all this information had been disclosed upfront, I could have made an informed decision about whether this tour was right for me—and avoided writing this review.

Overrated - Awful. 2 hours on a speed boat both ways. One island missed out because one nation 2432 didn't want to go. Crowded when you get there and the food was awful

Attention Jellyfish - The guide made us do snorkelling in a spot having of jellyfish, got bite like many others They have no medication or cream Very long road/boat for the time actually spent on site
