Similan Islands tour on the Sawanu catamaran

A tour to the Similan Islands is a ticket to one of the most stunning corners of Thailand. Here you’ll do more than just snorkel — you’ll enter a world-class marine sanctuary where every island looks like it was made for a postcard.

The Similan Islands tour from Phuket is a one-day adventure offered by Phuket Horizon to create memories that last a lifetime. In just one day, you’ll witness breathtaking landscapes, discover rich flora and fauna, and swim in the clearest waters of the Andaman Sea — all without flights or complicated logistics.

What to See

The Similan Islands consist of 11 islands scattered about 70 km northwest of Phuket. Each one is unique, but we’ll take you to the most beautiful and fascinating ones.

Island 9 (Ko Bangu)

If you’ve ever dreamed of diving into an aquarium, this is where that dream comes true. Multi-level dive sites, underwater caves, and uniquely shaped corals make it one of the most spectacular spots. You might even encounter sea turtles, rays, or leopard sharks. Whether you choose snorkeling or diving, unforgettable emotions are guaranteed.

Island 8 (Ko Similan)

The main island of the archipelago, home to the famous Sail Rock — a massive granite boulder perfectly balanced on a cliff edge. From here, a panoramic viewpoint opens over a bay of white sand and turquoise waters. It’s the kind of place you’ll never want to leave.

The beach is wide, soft, and silky — perfect for those seeking both adventure and relaxation. Many travelers mention in reviews that this is the best tour to the Similan Islands.

Island 7 (Ko Hin Pousar)

This island is nicknamed “Elephant Head” due to the distinctive shape of its boulders. Apart from its geological charm, it features underwater canyons and caves — a paradise for underwater photographers. The marine life density here is astonishing, with tourists often noting the incredible diversity and vibrancy of the underwater world.

Island 4 (Ko Miang)

Ko Miang is a true tropical idyll. It offers the most developed infrastructure among the Similans — including a campsite, viewing platforms, and ranger stations. It’s also a great place for birdwatching and spotting rare butterflies and plants — or simply relaxing on the beach under the palm trees.
