Things to do in Mu Ko Similan National Park

It was great to start by heading to the island where we could take photos. However, it would be even better if there was a sign to help us identify the photographer!

Fantastic Boat No. 1! About 80% of the staff are women, making the service especially attentive. The Thai service is incredibly warm and enthusiastic! ❤️‍🔥 The journey time is 5 hours, and the actual playtime is also 5 hours. From boarding the bus at 6:30 AM to disembarking at 6:30 PM, the entire trip is approximately 10 hours.

fabulous and outstanding full day tour! great crew , highly recommended!

I recently took a day trip to the Similan Islands, and overall, it was a great experience that I highly recommend! The water was incredibly clear, though I was a little disappointed not to see many fish while snorkeling. However, the scenery was even more beautiful than I expected, which was a delightful surprise during the trip. Our tour guide was also a huge plus; they were excellent at creating a lively atmosphere, keeping everyone engaged throughout the journey, and ensuring no awkward silences. They also paid attention to everyone's needs, making the experience very relaxing. Even for someone new to this type of boat excursion, there was no feeling of nervousness or boredom. Overall, this day trip offers good value for money, providing a relaxed yet fulfilling experience. If you have limited time but want to see beautiful ocean views and try snorkeling, this itinerary is an excellent choice.

It was a very fulfilling day. In the morning, a private car picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel entrance. The pier provided a simple breakfast (fried rice, sausages, toast, etc.). All three meals for the entire day were taken care of, which was very convenient. The tour guide was very friendly, and the photographer helped us take pictures. 👍🏻👍🏻

Similan Islands = WOW. Crystal-clear water, unreal beaches, and snorkeling that makes you forget you’re not in a documentary. Massive shoutout to the team. Everything was seamless: on-time pickups, smooth transfers, zero stress (which is rare for early starts!). The crew kept things light and fun the whole day—equal parts organized and entertaining. You come for the views, but stay for the vibes.

The staff were all very kind, and with three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) included, plus hotel transfers, it was an excellent tour overall! We went on April 28, 2026, and although we were worried about the weather, it turned out to be a perfect day with clear skies! The pristine white sand beaches and beautiful clear water were truly breathtaking. I highly recommend the Similan Islands! Please note that since we departed from a hotel in Old Town, we left around 6:40 AM and returned to the hotel around 8:30 PM, so it was an all-day trip. We were very satisfied with the tour!

We had a great experience on this tour. Everything went smoothly, from hotel pick-up to check-in, the snorkelling tour, lunch (all halal, vegetarian options also provided) and hotel drop-off. When you check in, you're given a picnic bag with snorkelling gear, fins, towels and a picnic mat. You can also rent a GoPro if you want to take underwater photos. From memory, the rental price was around THB 1200–1500. Each tour group was quite big, and the boat was quite packed, but the ride itself was comfortable. Aside from the beautiful beaches, the guides were a standout—they were friendly, funny and took great care of the group. Between them, they spoke several languages, including Chinese, Korean, Russian and French. For those who aren’t confident swimmers, there are guides who will swim with you so you can still enjoy the snorkelling experience. Shoutout to the team led by Olay, Freshie and Captain Jack Sparrow for the wonderful job they did on the day!
