The Similan Islands snorkeling tour with a catamaran is a dream destination for visitors seeking crystal-clear aqua waters and vibrant marine life.
Located in the heart of the Andaman Sea, Phang Nga Province, the Similan Islands boast untouched natural beauty. Situated just 70 kilometers off the coast of Phang Nga, this stunning archipelago consists of 11 idyllic islands, each offering its own unique charm. With soft white sand beaches, dramatic granite boulders, and turquoise waters, the Similan Islands are among the most beautiful places to visit in Southern Thailand.
The islands are renowned for their world-class snorkeling and diving. As part of a protected national park, the rich coral reefs and diverse marine life—such as sea turtles, clownfish, and manta rays—remain pristine. Whether you’re snorkeling or relaxing on a remote beach, every moment feels like paradise that you won’t want to leave.
This snorkeling tour is specifically designed for those who prefer not to travel by speedboat. Opting for a catamaran tour rather than a speedboat is a personal preference; however, the seating arrangement is different from that of a speedboat.
The catamaran is comfortable, featuring a marine toilet, life jackets, a first-aid kit, and snorkeling equipment. Departures for the Similan Islands snorkeling tour with a catamaran are from Khao Lak, with transfers included from Phuket, making it a long but worthwhile day trip.
About the Catamaran: The vessel is a high-speed catamaran equipped with four engines, offering comfortable seating for 64 people.
The Similan Islands stand as the ultimate snorkeling destination in Southern Thailand. The waters are extremely clear, the coral is abundant, and marine life is plentiful.
The viewpoint at Donald Duck Bay is a must-see. Photography enthusiasts will find it to be the perfect setting for capturing stunning shots.
Tip: If visiting the Similan Islands is a top priority, we highly recommend staying in Khao Lak for at least two days. Explore our guide on top things to do and places to stay in Khao Lak to plan your getaway.
Regardless of your location—Phuket or Khao Lak—upon your arrival at the office, a complimentary breakfast-style buffet is available. Enjoy teas, coffee, soft drinks, sandwiches, biscuits, cakes, pastries, and vegetarian options.
At the office, fins can be rented with a deposit required, and GoPros are available for hire. If you prefer a faster, more classic ride over the catamaran, check out our Similan Islands Speedboat Snorkeling Tour.
