What To Expect

Islands are a group of small, lush islands situated 64 km. off the West Coast of Phang-Nga province. Set in the beautiful Andaman Sea, and covering an area of 80,000 rai, each one of these naturally perfect islands is National Park-listed and can be reached within 1.30 hours from Thaplamu pier, Khao Lak.  Due to their incredible underwater beauty, deep visibility (down to 30 m.), spectacular palm tree and granite boulder landscape, turquoise water bays, and magnificent white sand beaches, Skin Diver Magazine has voted the Similan Islands one of the world’s best diving destinations.

The coral reefs are host to a dazzling variety of sea life, appreciated at best whilst snorkeling.

Beautiful Beaches and Snorkeling

This was a great way to spend a day in Khao Lok! The staff were friendly and on top of everything. We saw some of the best biodiversity we’ve personally seen while snorkeling and the beaches were beautiful. We were definitely happy we chose this tour and recommend it!

A day in the middle of nowhere. Not to be missed.

Wow! indeed. What an awesome day Mr Puu and the crew of boat 11 gave us. Even the storm during the first island visit didn’t spoil the day. The scenery is magnificent and the two snorkelling stops were absolutely amazing. So many different fish to watch in their natural habitats, and beautiful, unspoiled coral to wonder at. All this and food as well made for a day not to be missed.

Beautiful island colorful fish

This was a very popular but well organised tour. Started early. We were given breakfast (canteen style) . Good variety of food on offer. We were allocated a wrist band which dictated your boat / group. Our guide "Way" was brilliant! I can't stress how good he was. There were many boats, all looking the same. He made ours stand out with a large puppet hanging on the back. This meant we always knew which boat was ours. The snorkelling was brilliant. There are so many fish plus coral. Waters were so clear. The islands were also beautiful, pure white sand. Such natural beauty, both above & below the water. We were given lunch. Again, canteen style. Very busy, but we'll organised. A little messy, where some people weren't tidying their own plates away. But that was not the tour operators fault. Once we got back, we were fed again. Good choice of food. Again busy & canteen style; but we'll organised with a nice selection of food. The team on the boat were excellent!! You don't have to be a strong swimmer or experienced at snorkelling. Help is at hand. Helpful, informative & fun. I can't stress enough how great the team were. Special thanks to Way - an excellent and natural team leader; Reggae for his pleasant friendly help & Sky - quiet but confident manner . All of the team are a huge asset to this tour. I hope the tour operator let's them know this. Thanks for an amazing day.

Some things to keep in mind

The water at Similan Island reminded me of Western Australia’s nicest beaches, and the snorkelling areas were fantastic! Just some things to keep in mind, the ‘Speed Catamaran’ was about 50+ people crammed onto a very tight fitting and enclosed boat. You are required to have all of your belongings, aswell as your flippers, snorkel, towels, and life jackets either on your lap or somehow at your feet if you are lucky enough to be small enough to have room. There were no fans inside and unfortunately with such a large number of people in such muggy conditions when the boat wasn’t at full speed it was extremely sweaty and hot inside the boat. Unfortunately for us there was also a very large amount of young kids who screamed and cried the entire time. We booked this as a couple wanting a quiet cruise around the islands, not exactly what we got however this is no doubt the case with most cruises around the islands, as there were dozens of boats leaving the harbour at the same time. The water, beaches, sea life and swimming did compensate for it to a significant degree. We saw thousands of fish, even a few turtles which we got to swim with for a while. Really nice sea life, and the staff were very capable of looking after some of the others who couldn’t swim at all. They were towed around the snorkelling spots with floating devices. The organisation of the whole day was 10/10, from snorkels and fins, to food, to water supply, to departure times, lunch, and drop off back to the hotel.

Too many people, too much waiting around

The spoed boat seatings were uncomfortable to sit in and the boat was fully booked. No room to move anywhere. The lunch was not very good - too much food go to waste. The places we visited on Similan where packed with people - not very paradise-like. Also, LOT of waiting around at the pier both before and after the tour.
