Immerse yourself in the unspoiled tropical paradise of the Similan Islands, where every moment promises awe-inspiring sights and unforgettable memories.

Similan Islands are well-known for the clear-blue water and amazing powdery white sand beaches. The Similan Islands is an archipelago in the Andaman Sea which are popular for diving and snorkelling destination.

The Similan Islands hold a rich history that spans centuries. These picturesque islands, located in the Andaman Sea off the western coast of Thailand, have long been a sanctuary for seafarers, traders, and fishermen. The name “Similan” is derived from the Malay word “sembilan,” meaning “nine,” as the archipelago is comprised of nine main islands.

While the islands have been inhabited by sea gypsies in the past, they gained significant attention in the 20th century due to their exceptional natural beauty. Recognizing the importance of preserving this unique ecosystem, the Similan Islands were designated as a national park in 1982.

Excellente tournée, très bien organisée et l'équipage et le personnel étaient incroyables. La nourriture était délicieuse (surtout le gâteau!), De nombreuses collations étaient fournies et je n'ai jamais eu faim tout au long de la tournée. Les îles étaient magnifiques mais nous sommes un peu surpeuplés, ce qui malheureusement ressemble à toutes les îles maintenant, cela n'a rien sur l'équipage ou la visite et dans l'ensemble, ce fut une belle journée et vaut bien l'argent.

Fantastic trip to the Similan Islands. The islands themselves are so beautiful with crystal clear water and the whitest sands. The crew were wonderful and made sure we had plenty of food and drink. Would go again. Only downside is it is a long trip. Left at 6am and got back at 7.30pm

The trip was simply amazing and I would absolutely recommend everyone to book it. Our guide (Kiwi) was great and the entire crew always watched out for every participant. The snorkeling was fun, we even got to see a turtle. :)
