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.

- Donald Duck Bay (Island No. 8) – famous for the Sail Rock viewpoint.

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.
