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.
Departures from Phuket, Khao Lak, and Krabi
Guests can book this Similan Islands speedboat tour from multiple departure points.
- From Phuket: Enjoy convenient hotel transfers to the pier, located about 90 minutes north of Phuket.
- From Khao Lak: The pier at Thap Lamu is only 30 minutes away, making this the closest and most convenient starting point.

What to Expect on This Tour
Comfortable Speedboat Ride
After hotel pickup and check-in at the pier, enjoy coffee, tea, and light snacks before boarding your high-speed boat. The speedboat journey takes about 90 minutes and offers scenic views of the Andaman Sea. Our experienced crew ensures both comfort and safety.
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.
Hike to the Famous Sail Rock Viewpoint
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.

Customer Testimonials
Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions
We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!
Excellent day!
Excellent day by boat to visit the 4 islands, the guide was super friendly and welcoming. The day was rhythmic but lorgic with 4 islands to visit! And end around 2:30 pm so it’s rather nice to return quietly to the hotel not too late! Nice discovery, I recommend!
Excellente journée!
Excellente journée en bateau pour visites les 4 îles, la guide était super sympathique et accueillante. La journée était rythmée mais lorgique avec 4 îles à visiter! Et fin vers 14h30 donc c’est plutôt agréable pour rentrer tranquillement à l’hôtel pas trop tard ! Belle découverte, je recommande!
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
