• Coral Seekers hosted my birthday party. They went through so much trouble to set everything up perfectly with a traditional South African braai. It was a perfect evening. Highly recommended.

  We are so happy we chose a private boat! We had Sarah as our guide and she was wonderful. She explained each stop to us, and let us really experience each location in full until we were ready to move on. A tasty lunch and drinks were also provided. The water that day was pretty rough but our Captain was PHENOMENAL. He truly knew how to navigate the boat through the rough waters and he was dang good at it. The communication leading up to the excursion was also very efficient. We were in contact with Neil the entire time and always knew what was going on.
  
  I highly recommend booking with CoralSeekers. They are professional and they make you feel as safe as possible in the water. Thanks so much for a great experience!

The team was extremely fast to respond, even with a 12 hour time difference. My wife and I have come to expect great things out of excisions and were not disappointed. We had a very comfortable shuttle from the hotel to the dock where we received a briefing of our day. We set off right away in a private speed boat with two guides. The guides were so much fun and had much knowledge. We went right to the first secluded spot to snorkel. They provided the gear. We then jumped over to another island where we had a delicious lunch prepared by the crew and spent some time just swimming and walking the beach. We made one more stop on the way out of the bay to snorkel the headed to our final stop. On a completely vacant beach we enjoyed more time on the land and In the ocean. We even spent some time with goats! We did purchase some beers from the convenience store prior to departing in the morning. They provide water and sodas but we opted for an addition. Back at the dock we wrapped up with some fresh fruit and Champaign.
  
  Overall, I can’t express how much fun we had and what a wonderful job this team did. We look forward to returning and utilizing another tour offering. Five out of five!

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.
