One of Thailands National Marine Parks, the Similan Islands are located in the junction between the Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean. The 9 islands, covering an area of approximately 130 square kilometres, were created from volcanic activity some 65 million years ago, smoothened by glacial ice and now stand as a granite-based, foliage covered, and coral loving tropical paradise. Located around 90 kilometers northwest of Phuket, Similan has gained great fame as a prime diving location and is consistently rated as one of the top international dive sites in the world. With an abundance of marine life, crystal clear water and attractive coral formations, guests will marvel at the natural beauty as they engage in a variety of activities including snorkelling or simply relaxing on the white sandy beaches and enjoying a delicious National Park Restaurant lunch.
Please note that this trip is only available from late November until March/April.
