Full-day Similan Islands Tour by speedboat from Khao Lak

4.4/5
12 reviews

The Thai Royal Family don't just holiday anywhere – they holiday in the Similan Islands. And on this exclusive speed boat experience, you'll discover why. Zooming between palm-fringed beaches and granite rocks, you'll get the chance to snorkel the reefs of Thailand's premier marine reserve before a tasty lunch beachside.

We'll kick off the adventure by casting off from Khao Lak. Tearing through the sea, breeze blowing in your face, you'll make your way towards Similan Islands National Marine Park. As Thailand's number one diving spot, it's the ideal place for some snorkelling. Plunge into the waters here and you can expect to see all manner of marine life – from clownfish and manta rays to over 500 species of coral.

Drying off, you'll head to a hideaway beach where a light lunch is served. Then, after some time relaxing on the sand, you'll do the trip in reverse. Picking up speed on the way back, you'll feel the wind in your hair as you fly by tropical forests and the Thai Royal Family's holiday home.

    The similan islands are definetly the best out of all of them, never seen such clear blue waters. Snorkelling was amazing lots of fish and coral to see. Fin/phun I can’t remember how to spell her name was a really good guide she had to translate in Thai Chinese and English. We were the only English speakers on the boat so we had our own personal translations after the Thai and Chinese. The food we had was also very good the best food we have had on an island tour so far. Enjoyable day

    The title says 4 x islands; 2 x beaches and 2 x snorkel however the times at each are not even. Snorkel in total was less than 1 hour (which is why I went) whilst the beach (and lunch) was more than 3 hours. Lunch was mostly fish and flies! I was told the speedboat would be 1hr but it was 1hr20 each way; squished like sardines this made some people Ill. The description said 4-8hrs and it was 9.5hrs. All in all an expensive beach and lunch with HUNDREDS of strangers. Disappointing.
