Wonderful experience,...

Published on Jan, 2025

Wonderful experience, please keep in mind, it does take a large amount of time to get to the dock, plus an addition 1 hour and 15 minutes to the island, one way. They do feed you very well, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Amazing experience, from...

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing experience, from start to finish. Pick up was on time, had breakfast at the pier where you could also rent a towel and flippers for 200 baht deposit. They had luggage storage, souvenir shop and toilets. Our main guide was Puu, he was engaging and made sure the journey was comfortable and safe. Snacks and drinks were available most of the time. We had time to snorkel and explore 2 of the islands. The 2nd island was busy but we had plenty of time to explore/swim and sunbathe. Lunch was lovely and we also had dinner back at the port. The views during the trip were beautiful, such a surreal place, would definitely recommend.

Great all day trip

Published on May, 2024

The activities and places we visited were amazing! We were very happy with the experience, we knew in advance that it was low tide season, so just the visit to island n. 4 was challenging but other than it was a lovely experience.

Loved it ❤️

Published on Feb, 2024

Absolute value for money! Amazing tour experience Staff very friendly and helpful Very well organised tour Pick up was offered which was great but it was a long drive and the driver was speeding, nevertheless I was able to sleep during the drive. The Wow Andaman private pier is amazing - lovely buffet breakfast provided, there are toilets and showers ( not the greatest but still available) The beaches we visited were amazing and the snorkeling spots were great. We had enough time to enjoy these spots. Puu was our guide and he was great. The prepacked lunch provided on the island was great. Between each activity you are offered cold beverages, snacks and ice-cream on-board. There is a toilet on the boat, which is amazing as the trip out is about 90mins. When you get back to the pier they have a buffet prepared which was very good. The only negative I suppose is that the boat is a bit cramped with everyone seated on either side facing each other so you can't really take in the scenery. Overall it was an amazing experience, well worth the cost. I would definitely book with WOW Andaman again.

All I can say is Wow!!

Published on Jan, 2024

Excellent adventure. The islands are pristine and less crowded than Phi Phi. The water was crystal clear, the coral is healthy, and the fish abundant. Some of the islands are better than others. Wow Andaman made the day Supreme. Excellent service. A must-do tour for the snorkelers in the group. The boat trip is long, but comfortable enough.
