Great time!

Published on Nov, 2024

This was a really great trip. The guides were extremely helpful and organized. The food was great and I had a really really good time. Definitely worth it.

Extraordinary views , great snorkelling and coconut ice cream

Published on May, 2024

The whole experience was a lot of fun and we were looked after beautifully by the staff both before ,after and during the trip . The coconut ice cream really hit the spot after getting back on the boat after snorkelling and the view from the rock on Island 4 was well worth the climb . One of the best day trips I’ve done .

What a wonderful surprise to have such a well organized and detailed tour

Published on May, 2024

This was an excellent trip. We booked three other tours with Viator in Thailand and this was the first and only time we had guides that spoke English in such a way that it was possible to follow them! Puu as main guide and his assistant guide plus the rest of the crew were super attentive to our needs and the special needs of any individual in the group who need extra help. It was very well organized from pick-up, explanations and the proceedure to get started. Andaman WOW, from this experience, seems like an excellent company, well organized from beginning to end. Good food and attention to details. Highly recommend it for your Thailand tours in Phuket and/or Khao Lak.

Beautiful scenery!

We had a great trip to the Similan islands - the staff were very friendly and helpful. The boat was busy and packed full but the rest of the trip was beautiful and we experienced lots of snorkelling and exploring of some of the islands. The scenery is spectacular!
