Similan Islands Tours from Phuket
≈ 70 km off Khao Lak · about 2.5–3 hours from Phuket door to pier to island
The Similan Islands, a protected archipelago in the Andaman Sea northwest of Phuket, offer the clearest water and richest snorkeling in the region — granite boulders, white-sand bays and reef fish in every direction. Access is by speedboat from the Khao Lak coastline, with road pickup from Phuket hotels included in day-trip programs.
The islands are a national park with a strict season: they open around mid-October and close around mid-May each year for monsoon and reef recovery. Outside those dates no boats run — a key fact agents should confirm before quoting.
Anreise nach Similan Islands
- Early road transfer from Phuket (around 05:30–06:30) to Tap Lamu pier near Khao Lak, then roughly 70 minutes by speedboat; Khao Lak hotels have later pickups.
Mid-October to mid-May only — the national park closes for the monsoon; February to April has the best visibility.
Dry-season open-sea conditions; occasional swells — guests prone to seasickness should be advised.

Wertvolles Wissen vor Ort
Phuket pickups start early (often 05:00–06:30) because boats leave from Khao Lak — set customer expectations on timing.
Snorkeling here is the best in the Phuket region; masks and fins are provided on standard programs.
The park limits daily visitors and landing points; itineraries follow park instructions on the day.
For guests staying in Khao Lak, quote the Khao Lak pickup variant instead of the Phuket one — shorter day, same islands.
