Beat the crowds on a comfy VIP speedboat to hidden snorkelling gems
This is one of the few Similan Islands tours that gets you there before the crowds arrive. By heading out early and travelling in a small group by VIP speedboat, you’ll enjoy crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and world-class snorkelling without the usual hustle. Most tours stick to the main islands and cram 40+ people onto a boat — here, it's capped at 28 guests, so you get a more comfortable and relaxed day. If you’re someone who hates being herded like a tourist and loves marine life, this is for you. You’ll snorkel in multiple spots with a high chance of spotting sea turtles and clownfish. Plus, this trip takes you beyond the usual stops — with hidden gems like Princess Bay and Honey Moon Bay, and gorgeous viewpoints that many miss. It’s also ideal for travellers who care about the place they're visiting. This team keeps things eco-conscious — they follow park rules strictly and work closely with the local community. With experienced, friendly guides who speak English and you’ll feel well looked after all day.What to ExpectEarly start to beat the crowds and enjoy the Similan Islands before it gets busyTravel by VIP speedboat with a max of 28 guests for more comfort and spaceMultiple snorkelling sessions across islands with reef sharks, turtles, and colourful coralScenic viewpoint for sweeping ocean viewsBuffet lunch and time to relax in Princess Bay and hidden Honey Moon BayFriendly, multilingual guides who share marine facts and local island storiesGood to KnowNot suitable for pregnant women, children under 3, or anyone with serious medical conditions like back issues or epilepsyReef-safe sunscreen is required to protect the coral reefsAlcohol and drones aren’t allowed in any Thai national park without prior written permissionTour includes hotel transfers from Khao Lak only — extra charge applies for other areasSea conditions might affect travel time and snorkelling spots — your safety is always the priorityAmenities/facilitiesHotel transfers from Khao LakVIP speedboat limited to 28 guests for a more comfortable rideSnorkelling gear and life jackets providedLocal breakfast, buffet lunch, snacks and drinks (hot & cold) includedNational park fees and insurance coveredEnglish speaking guide with license
