Full description
The Similan Early Bird Tour is the best way to experience these world-famous islands when the sea is still calm and the beaches are completely empty. Departing early from Phuket allows you to reach the Similan Islands before the crowds and enjoy the untouched beauty of the archipelago in peace. Powder-white sand, turquoise water, and vibrant marine life make this journey one of the most memorable experiences in Phuket.
The itinerary is designed to make your day both comfortable and fulfilling. Guests are welcomed at the Thap Lamu Pier with a cup of hot tea or coffee before setting off toward the Similan Islands. The first stop is Island No. 9, perfect for snorkeling and exploring colorful coral reefs. Next comes Island No. 8, where you can relax on the beach and climb to the famous Sail Rock viewpoint for a stunning panoramic view of the islands.
After a buffet lunch, the tour continues to Island No. 4, offering another chance to snorkel and unwind on a peaceful beach shaded by tropical trees. The boat returns to the pier in the afternoon, when the sun softens and your heart is full of impressions from a perfect day in paradise.

If you book an early departure tour, hotel pick-up in Phuket can be as early as 03:30 AM, allowing guests to reach the islands in the morning and spend the maximum time there.
Most group tours pick up guests from hotels in Phuket or Khao Lak early in the morning so they can arrive at the Similan Islands by mid-morning and begin the excursion program.
