Your day begins with a very early hotel pickup in Phuket or Khao Lak and a transfer to the private departure pier near Khao Lak. After a light breakfast, check-in and a trip briefing, the speedboat leaves at around 07:00 for the Similan Islands.

Enjoy the white-sand beach, swim in clear water and, if conditions allow, climb to the Sail Rock viewpoint.
The day also includes two guided snorkelling sessions, lunch around Koh Miang, time at Honeymoon Bay and Princess Bay, and a return to the pier at approximately 16:00.
