SeaStar is by far the best boat travel agency. The port is located 30 mins drive from where I stayed , Pakarang Beach. We were picked up at 8:00 am and arrive on time to check in. At the check in, they checked my receipt of payment and usher me to collect complimentary snorkeling mask and fins. They even offer towel to bring with you if you did not bring one. Breakfast were quite lavish compared to all the other boat tour operator. They are really 5 star service in Phuket/Khao Lak.
The boat trip to Koh Surin was okay. It was on a smaller size boat with about 20 passengers on the tour that day. They brought us to all the location as listed on the itinerary. The boat
In general, Koh Surin island does not have the "Maldives" vibe compare to
Koh Similan or
Koh Tachai. Both Similan and Tachai has coral white fine sands and clear blue sea water. At Koh Surin, its brown sands with clear water. The marine life are teeming and nemo are plenty.
We return to the Pier on time. There were drinks and snacks provided at the check-in/waiting area. We had some wings and ice cream before ushered to our vehicle to return to the hotel.
I paid SGD$110 per pax during the low season (About 2800Baht, end of April - beginning of May)
The lunch provided on the island were generous and delicious.
Sliced watermelon, candies and wet towel were served at the end of the boat tour.
During my snorkel, I saw blue star fish, sea urchins and nemo.
