Fantastic Similan by Speedboat with Phuket Travel Store
The Similan Islands are one of Thailand’s most stunning natural destinations, located 64 km off the west coast of Phang-Nga province in the Andaman Sea. This archipelago covers an area of over 80,000 rai and is part of a protected national marine park. Known for crystal-clear turquoise waters, powdery white sand beaches, giant granite boulders, and vibrant coral reefs, the Similans are often described as the crown jewel of the Andaman.
At Phuket Travel Store, we invite you to join our Fantastic Similan by Speedboat tour. This full-day excursion is available for booking from Phuket, Khao Lak, and Krabi, giving travelers from across southern Thailand the opportunity to explore one of the world’s most beautiful island groups.
Why Visit the Similan Islands?
The Similan Islands National Park is recognized as one of the best diving and snorkeling areas in the world. Skin Diver Magazine once voted the Similans among the top diving destinations on the planet, and it’s easy to see why. With underwater visibility reaching up to 30 meters, snorkelers and divers can explore thriving coral reefs, colorful tropical fish, and even graceful sea turtles.
The word Similan comes from the Malay word sembilan, meaning “nine,” referring to the original nine islands. Today, the park includes eleven islands, each with its own charm. From soft sandy beaches and turquoise bays to dramatic boulder landscapes and lush jungle trails, the Similan island hopping tour offer something for everyone.
Another highlight is that the park is open only a few months per year (from mid-October to mid-May), ensuring that the ecosystem remains healthy and protected. This seasonal window makes every visit to the Similans feel like an exclusive adventure.

Snorkeling in Underwater Paradise
Snorkeling at the Similan Islands is unforgettable. Swim above colorful coral gardens and spot tropical fish like clownfish, parrotfish, and angelfish. With some luck, you may also encounter sea turtles gliding gracefully through the water. The reefs here are among the best preserved in Thailand, making this one of the most rewarding snorkeling experiences in Asia.
Relax on White Sandy Beaches
Between snorkeling stops, guests can relax on the islands’ pristine beaches. Walk barefoot along the powdery sand, rest under the shade of palm trees, or take photos of the turquoise bays. These beaches are ideal for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.

On Island No. 8, a short trail leads to Sail Rock (also known as Donald Duck Bay). From this viewpoint, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding islands, granite boulders, and the deep blue sea. This is one of the most iconic sights in the Similan Islands.
