Travel Itinerary
06:40 - Pak Phra Beach
Arrive at Pak Phra Beach pier. National park entrance fee is already included in your tour price. Gather with your group, listen to a safety and itinerary briefing from your professional guide, and enjoy a light soft breakfast with coffee, tea, and refreshing drinks before boarding the speedboat.
07:20 - Andaman Sea
Climb aboard our comfortable speedboat and set off across the Andaman Sea. The ride takes about 90 minutes. Enjoy the ocean breeze and watch the coastline disappear as you head toward one of Thailand's most famous marine national parks.
08:50 - Ko Bangu
Your first stop in the Similan archipelago. Ko Bangu (Island No. 9) is famous for its spectacular underwater scenery. Jump into the warm, crystal-clear water for your first snorkeling session. Swim among vibrant coral reefs and schools of tropical fish in every color imaginable. If you're lucky, you might even spot a sea turtle gliding gracefully beneath you.
09:40 - Sailboat Rock (Hin Puso)
Sailboat Rock is one of the most photographed landmarks in the entire Similan Islands. This distinctive granite boulder sits dramatically on the shoreline, shaped exactly like a sailboat. Climb up to the viewpoint (carefully — the rocks can be slippery after rain) and enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of turquoise water stretching endlessly toward the horizon. A must for photos.
10:30 - Similan Islands (Island No. 8)
The main Similan Island - the heart of the national park. National park entrance fee is already included. Here you'll find the famous white sand beach that looks like powdered sugar, framed by giant granite boulders scattered along the shoreline like ancient sculptures. Swim in the warm, shallow water, snorkel among the rocks, or simply lie on the sand and soak up the tropical sun. Don't forget to capture the iconic view, it's postcard-perfect.
11:40 - Ko Payu (Island No. 7)
Ko Payu is known among locals as "Turtle Island" for good reason — sea turtles often come here to feed on the seagrass beds. Put on your mask and snorkel and explore the underwater world. The coral gardens around this island are vibrant and full of marine life. Swim slowly, keep your eyes open, and you might share the water with a gentle sea turtle.
12:30 - Ko Miang (Island No. 4)
Your final stop before heading back to Phuket. Ko Miang welcomes you with another stunning beach and calm turquoise water. National park entrance fee is already included. Spend your last hour swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing on the sand. Take a final deep breath of salty sea air before boarding the speedboat for the return journey. A perfect ending to an unforgettable day.
13:30 - Andaman Sea
Board the speedboat for the return trip to Phuket. Use this time to rest, review your photos, and dream about your next visit. The crew will ensure a safe and comfortable journey back.
15:00 - Pak Phra Beach
Arrive back at the pier. Freshen up, collect your belongings, and say goodbye to the crew. Your driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.
