What to expect
Embark on an upscale journey to one of the world’s most pristine marine archipelagos with our Similan Islands Catamaran Experience. This meticulously planned day trip trades the bumpy ride of a standard speedboat for the grace and stability of the elegant ‘Emily Princess’ Catamaran Yacht, ensuring your voyage is as relaxing as the islands themselves.
Your day begins with a seamless transfer from Phuket or Khao Lak, leading you to our exclusive Seven Plus Similan Pier Lounge. Before setting sail, take a moment to unwind with a curated selection of breakfast treats and snacks. After a brief safety orientation, you'll step aboard our stylish yacht for a direct, scenic cruise across the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea.
The adventure truly begins at Island No. 8, where you can choose to lounge on powdery white sands or hike to the legendary Sail Rock for a panoramic view that defines the Similans. Lunch is a sophisticated affair: a gourmet buffet served fresh right on board the yacht, allowing you to dine with a 360-degree ocean view.
Post-lunch, dive into the underwater wonders of the archipelago. We’ll make two premier snorkeling stops at Ba Ngu Island (No. 9) and Payu Island (No. 7), home to vibrant coral gardens and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish.
As the sun begins its descent, enjoy a smooth cruise back to the mainland. The hospitality doesn’t end at the shore—upon arriving at the pier, you’ll be treated to a light dinner to refuel before your comfortable return transfer to your hotel.

- This tour is not recommended for pregnant women, infants under 4 years, people over 65 years or people with back or neck problems.
- Wear flip flops or water shoes in case there are shells or rocks on the sand and shorts rather than pants as the water level may be above the knees when hopping off/on the boat.
- Catamaran Yacht carry passengers as close to the beach as they can so passengers can hop off and on easily.
- Ensuring your safety is our top priority. To that end, we strongly recommend wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkeling.

We have to send this information to the Thai Marine Department before the trip starts. It will be handled strictly private and confidential. Please also bring a digital photo of the passport on your phone or a copy of the passport to the trip.
- While flip-flops are convenient, water shoes offer better protection against sharp objects like shells or rocks on the sand, and provide improved traction on wet surfaces.
- Shorts are ideal as they dry quickly and allow for greater freedom of movement, especially if the water level reaches above your knees when getting on or off the boat.
- There is a minimum of 10 people required to run this activity! On the rare occasion that we should be required to cancel this trip, we will inform you in advance and offer a different travel date, an alternative activity or provide a full refund.
