Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings.

Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed.

Questions people ask
The national park closes entirely from mid-May to mid-October for the monsoon and for reef recovery. Anyone selling you a Similan trip in July is selling something that does not run.
