“It was unfortunate that we couldn't see the Blue Cave due to strong winds, but it was still an amazing day. Angela and Vlado served as an excellent tour guide and skipper respectively, navigating us safely through moderately rough seas, in comfort, while sharing interesting historic and cultural information and tips for each stop. I personally would've preferred more time at Hvar and Marinkovac(?) to swim, as the Blue Lagoon was not very swimmable due to strong winds, but otherwise a well-planned journey.”

There was no rush to tick boxes, and we were given 2-3h at each island to relax and have free time. There was an optional snorkel part where the boat took the ones who wanted to snorkel, to an area where the underwater life was beautiful. Pick up was punctual, free drinks on the boat, everything felt safe and enjoyable. Best part was the clear waters, and no overcrowding.”

“We loved the similan islands. The beaches were stunning, the snorkelling was amazing, we even saw a turtle! Our guide (called Tequilla) was brilliant - so full of energy and fun. Just be aware you spend a lot of the day in transport. The bus journey was fine, but was 2.5 hours each way. The speedboat was over an hour and pretty uncomfortable as it was cramped. But transport is necessary to get to the beautiful islands so worth it.”
