Why go
Love Andaman is a Phuket company built around day trips on the Andaman Sea. Its join-in tours let you share a speedboat with a small group instead of planning a whole outing alone, with a light breakfast at the pier, lunch, snorkelling gear and a safety briefing from the guide all part of the day. Most trips leave from a Phuket pier, and the Similan and Surin trips start from Khao Lak.
The team says it was the first to run Similan trips with rules such as no fish feeding and a talk for guests before boarding, and it still frames its tours around reef-safe habits. Guides are trained in first aid and CPR as well as snorkelling, and the site describes them as photographers, entertainers and caring companions for children too, so families can expect a lively day.

Both national parks are open from mid-October to mid-May and close during the monsoon, so these trips do not run in the rest of the year.
