Your exclusive Similan adventure begins with a comfortable minivan pickup directly from your accommodation in Khao Lak. We'll whisk you away to the "Wow Andaman" pier in Thap Lamu.

Soon after, prepare to plunge into the exhilarating underwater world at Similan Island (Island No. 8) for your initial snorkeling experience. Witness a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of marine life thriving in these crystal-clear waters. A gourmet lunch awaits you right on Island No. 8, served against the stunning backdrop of the iconic Sail Rock.

The day's aquatic exploration culminates with a final, unforgettable snorkel at Ba Ngu Island (Island No. 9), renowned as one of the archipelago's richest shallow snorkeling spots. Here, you'll be captivated by dense coral formations and an astonishing variety of colorful fish. As the afternoon draws to a close, we'll begin our serene journey back to the Wow Andaman private pier.
