Royal Similan Islands Tour by Speed Catamaran - Phuket Travel Store
The Similan Islands are often called the jewel of the Andaman Sea, and for good reason. With their powdery white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs, the Similan Islands are considered one of the best destinations for snorkeling, island hopping, and tropical exploration in Thailand.
If you are looking for a premium day trip from Phuket or Khao Lak, the Royal Similan Tour by Speed Catamaran with Phuket Travel Store and Wow Andaman is the perfect choice. This full-day adventure combines comfort, speed, and unforgettable experiences across the most iconic islands in the Similan National Park.
Why Choose the Royal Similan Tour?
Unlike standard boat trips, the Royal Similan tour by speed catamaran is designed for travelers who want both adventure and comfort. The modern speed catamaran offers spacious seating, shaded areas, and powerful engines that make the journey smooth and enjoyable. Guests can sit back, relax, and take in the breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea while traveling quickly between islands.
With Phuket Travel Store, you also receive professional service, guaranteed safety, and carefully planned itineraries that highlight the very best of the Similan Islands.
Discover the Beauty of the Similan Islands
The Similan Islands National Park is world-famous for its turquoise waters, rich coral reefs, and soft white sand beaches. Located about 70 kilometers off the coast of Phang Nga Province, this protected marine paradise consists of nine granite islands, each with its own charm.
From the iconic Sail Rock viewpoint at Donald Duck Bay to the crystal-clear lagoons of Koh Miang (Island No. 4), the Similans offer breathtaking landscapes both above and below the water. The islands are also home to some of Thailand’s most diverse marine life — snorkelers often encounter tropical fish, vibrant coral gardens, and even sea turtles.
Because of their ecological importance, the Similan Islands are open to visitors only from October 15 to May 15 each year. This ensures that the coral reefs and marine ecosystem can recover during the rainy season, making every visit a sustainable and eco-friendly experience.
A trip to the Similan Islands is more than just a beach holiday — it’s an immersion into one of the world’s most stunning national parks. Whether you come for snorkeling, sightseeing, or simply relaxing on the powdery sands, the Similans deliver unforgettable moments.
Premium Speed Catamaran Experience
The Wow Andaman speed catamaran is designed for comfort and safety. Features include:
- Spacious seating for all guests
- Covered areas for sun protection
- Modern safety equipment and professional crew
- Smooth, stable ride even in open seas
Travelers can enjoy the journey as much as the destinations, making it an ideal choice for families, couples, and small groups.
Snorkeling and Marine Life
One of the biggest highlights of the Royal Similan tour is snorkeling. The underwater world around the Similan Islands is stunning, with coral gardens, tropical fish, and sometimes encounters with turtles or reef sharks. The clear water allows visibility of up to 30 meters, making it one of the top snorkeling destinations in the world.
Phuket Travel Store provides high-quality snorkeling gear, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
What Makes the Similan Islands Special?
The Similan Islands National Park is made up of nine islands, each offering unique beauty:
- Donald Duck Bay (Island No. 8) – famous for the Sail Rock viewpoint.

Customer Testimonials
Excellent Phuket City Tour
We had a great day exploring Phuket with Phuket Travel Store. The guide was professional and friendly, sharing many interesting insights about local life and culture. We visited Wat Chalong, Phuket Old Town, beautiful viewpoints, and local markets with plenty of time to enjoy each stop. The transport was comfortable, and the whole tour was well organized.
Best Phi Phi Islands Tour
We joined the Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands tour last Friday and it was absolutely perfect! The booking process was super easy, pickup was right on time, and the service throughout the day was excellent. Everything was well organized, the crew was friendly, and the experience was very enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend Phuket Travel Store as a trustworthy and professional tour and travel agent!
Wonderful experience with elephants!
This was one of the most beautiful trips we've ever made. The elephants really live here species-appropriate - no riding, no coercion, just peace and respect. We could feed them, take them for a walk and experience them up close. The atmosphere was totally relaxed, nothing was overflowing or touristic exaggerated. Also the guides were super friendly and told a lot about the animals and the background of the project. You can tell immediately: Here, the welfare of animals is paramount. For those who love animals and value responsible tourism, this is an absolute must. Thanks to Phuket Travel Store for this special experience!
