Similan Island Private Tour FAQs
What are the main departure points for visiting the Similan Islands?
The main departure points for tour operators and visitors to the Similan Islands are mainly located along Thailand’s west coast, particularly in the Phang Nga and Phuket regions, such as Thap Lamu (pronounced Tub Lamu) a pier and small town in Phang Nga Province. Khao Lak, Phuket, and Krabi are also popular for Similan Island tour departures.
When is the best time to visit the Similan Islands?
The best time to visit the Similan Islands for diving and snorkeling is during the dry and high season from November to April, when you can enjoy excellent weather, warm waters, and underwater visibility. If you prefer a quieter and more budget-friendly experience, you might consider visiting during October and May. Any Similan Island tour depends on weather conditions, especially during the rainy, low season. Additionally, the Similan Islands National Park closes for periods to restore the beaches, coral reefs, and marine life, so check such details with Coral Seekers before planning your private day charter with them.
What should I pack for my day tour to the Similan Islands?
Pack light for comfort, taking only essentials in a waterproof bag, such as light clothing, sun block, appropriate footwear like aqua shoes, some Thai Baht cash, towel and personal snorkeling equipment (although many tour operators provide snorkeling gear and basic provisions). There is no need to take a life jacket, they are generally provided on every boat tour to the islands. And don’t forget your swimsuit.
Remember to be mindful of conservation and help keep the islands and beaches clean by not littering.
Are there restaurants, shops, and other facilities on the Similan Islands?
There are very basic amenities on Koh Miang, mainly: such as a ranger station, possibly, limited National Park accommodations, and food and water, and souvenir stalls that may pop up on a few islands.
It’s a good idea to bring your own food and snacks or arrange for meals with your tour operator. Most include these elements in a day tour or liveaboard trip. It is best to enquire, as many tours require advance booking.
