Similan
Islands Tour
from Khao Lak

The Similan Islands are one of Thailand’s most famous destinations for snorkeling and diving.  Since 2018, overnight stays on the Similan Islands have been discontinued by the Department of National Parks to allow nature to recover and preserve the ecosystem.

Today, the Similan Islands can only be visited on a day trip, with a limited number of visitors allowed each day. 
For this reason, we highly recommend booking your Similan Islands tour from Khao Lak in advance to secure availability.

The Similan Islands consist of nine stunning islands, surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters, white powdery sand, and vibrant coral reefs. 
Snorkeling is easily accessible directly from the beach, where you can encounter colorful tropical fish and rich marine life in one of the top snorkeling locations in the world.
