Similan Islands Snorkel Tour by Fantastic Similan Travel from Krabi
1 day
About this activity
Get picked up from your hotel in Krabi and ride by shared minivan to Por Duangtaweeporn 1 Pier in Khao Lak. Enjoy a light breakfast and pick out your snorkeling gear after you have meet your friendly guide from Fantastic Similan. Take a speed boat ride to the beautiful Similan Islands in less than 80 minutes with 36 limited seats so you never feel crowded.
Appreciate the scenery as you make your way to your first snorkeling spot at Koh Miang, the Island No. 4. Clear waters, healthy coral and plentiful fish, this island is perfect for the beginner and experienced snorkeler. Spend some time at the beach and explore the underwater world before enjoying a seafood lunch with authentic Thai cuisine and a fruit basket on the serene sandy beach of Princess Bay.
Depart for Koh Payu, the Island No. 7, which is ideal for snorkeling at the East of Eden with a reef slope that ranges from 5 to 40 metres. Then make your way to the waters of Christmas Point at Koh Bangu, the Island No. 9, for one more snorkeling opportunity with massive coral heads in The Mooring, and Snapper Alley for Asian snapper living among the giant rocks.
The last stop is at the tranquil waters of Donald Duck Bay on Koh Similan, the Island No. 8. Here you can relax on the beach or hike to the island's viewpoint at Sailing Rock before heading back to the pier where a light snack with fresh fruits and drinks are awaiting you. Get transferred back to your hotel and replay the day's happenings.
The Similan Islands National Park is situated 95 km north-west of Krabi and 65 km west of Khao Lak. It consists of nine densely wooded islands fringed with rocky outcrops and gorgeous beaches of fine talcum-powder-like sand. Rising sea temperatures cause plankton blooms, which attracts a wealth of the larger animals into the area. Spot chevron barracuda, giant trevally, rainbow runners and reef sharks.
Please note that the Similan Islands National Park is officially opened to the public from 15th October until 15th May.
