Snorkeling with sea turtle - Great experience! We spent a day on the boat, visited wonderful islands. During the snorkeling we saw fantastic seabed, a thousand fish of different colors and a sea turtle. Absolutely recommended also for the friendliness of the guide and the kindness of the team

Similan Islands - On April 11, 2024 we took an excursion to the Similan Islands. It was incredible😍 We were picked up from the hotel in the morning, taken to the pier, fed, and set off. It took 1.5 hours to sail there and back, but the time flew by quickly. A guide walking around 🔥 islands of incredible beauty! It was real paradise! Azure sky, fine white sand, beautiful tropical forests and clear clear water! While snorkeling I saw a big turtle and a lot of different fish!) In general, I recommend these islands to everyone!🔥

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.

snorkeling with Nemo - Great snorkeling experience!!! I didn't imagine there would be so many fish! the boat staff super friendly! There was drink and fruit throughout the excursion, the boat also has a tarp to protect you from the sun, which was extremely useful for us. The only thing... half far from Phuket, the trip to get there is 3 hours and the return trip is 4 hours due to traffic

A very long day!!!! - A very long day. We didn’t realise that the drive from Phuket to the port would take 2 hours each way!!!!! Then 75 mins over on the boat begins first stop. Gorgeous islands and snorkelling was fab but not sure trip was worth the money. Food was awful too. Flies everywhere. Crew were friendly and animated. Would we book again, probably not but nice experience x

Catastrophic tour - neither worth the money nor the time - Pick-up is 1 hour later than agreed only at 7am. No information about it, so you sit in the lobby for 1 hour at 6 in the morning. The breakfast is very paltry and it is already wasted over 1 hour at the site. Breakfast consists of rice, toast with jam or butter and a few cookies. The speedboat ride was an absolute disaster. 50% of people arrived completely wet and at least 10 vomited. The journey takes 2 hours and is very wobbly, so you get thrown back and forth for the whole 2 hours. The boat is not designed for this, so it is not a comfortable trip. In the snorkeling stops, we did not see a single fish, let alone corals or other animals. Once on the island, you get a prison-like lunch on a metal plate. Other tours offer open buffets on the same island. As a vegetarian, all that remains is dry rice and a little salad. For dinner you get the same as for breakfast only an additional salad with omelette or similar. So you will definitely go hungry all day long. Water was only offered to us twice throughout the day. I would definitely not recommend it. Too bad about the time and the money.

Mass processing! - Mass processing describes it quite well. It was far too crowded and it was extremely cramped on the boat. They also take photos, which are then sold to you at the end at exorbitant prices, like in theme parks. You have to leave a deposit for fins and beach towels. This is not mentioned anywhere and card payments are not possible. We would have been lost if we hadn't been helped. The islands are beautiful but they need to be much emptier, otherwise it's no fun.
