Similan Islands One Day Trip by Speedboat From Phuket

A little history.
A different perspective.

The Similan Islands, located about 100 km northwest of Phuket, rank among the world’s top 10 dive destinations and have been a National Park since 1982. This group of nine granite islands, with white sandy beaches and lush jungle above water, offers some of the most spectacular dive sites below the surface. Scuba diving here ranges from gentle coral reefs to deep rocky gorges. The east coast features colorful hard and soft coral reefs, abundant marine life, calm currents, and up to 30 meters of visibility—perfect for relaxed diving. The west coast offers more adventure with deeper sites, stronger currents, and dramatic underwater landscapes of giant boulders, swim-throughs, and fan corals. With its diverse dive sites and breathtaking scenery, a Similan Islands diving cruise is an unforgettable experience for every diver.
