Similans Diving - Similan Islands Day Trips

The Similan Islands National Park has now become established as one of the finest dive locations in Asia, with liveaboard diving being especially popular. In recent years, several dive boats have begun to offer Similans day trips departing from Khao Lak. Day trips are ideal for those who lack the time or money for a liveaboard cruise but still wish to experience the great diving on offer at the Similan Islands. Note that Similan Islands trips are only available from approximately mid October to early May.

Similans Diving - Liveaboards

If you have just a little more time, we highly recommend spending longer than a few hours in the Similans. Liveaboards are now available for just 2 or 3 days in the Similans, as well as the usual 4 day trips to Similan and Richelieu Rock. You can transfer any day by speedboat and make an overnight stay or longer, diving the Similans on the South Siam 3 liveaboard, or stay on the island diving with our overnight trips. We hope to see you soon!

Liveaboards are certainly the best way to dive the Similan Islands, and we urge you to find the time for at least an overnight trip! A day trip just gives you just a taste and it's quite a long trip for just 2 dives - if you have the time then try a liveaboard! We strongly recommend making bookings in advance for any Similans dive trip, especially in peak season.

Siam Adventure Divers will take you on a speedboat to their day boat in the Similan Islands every day via Thap Lamu port near Khao Lak. On Mondays, Thurdays and Saturdays there are two dives, while on other weekdays three dives are scheduled. Pick-ups from Phuket are available starting at 6.00 am. Pick up at 8am in Khao Lak.

The South Siam day trip operates every day in the high season. For customers in Phuket, there is a free transfer by minibus (pick up 6 - 6:30am) to Thap Lamu, close to Khao Lak. The speedboat takes you to the Similans in just 1 hour 20 minutes where you board the dive boat for your 2 dives.

The South Siam day trip is also suitable for snorkelers. While the divers use the liveaboard dive boat South Siam 3 for their diving, you can snorkel from the speedboat on the shallow reefs. You all meet again for lunch before the second dive/snorkel. Note that Sunday and Wednesday trips are to Koh Bon, just north of the Similans. Since the day trippers use the liveaboard as a platform, it can get crowded in peak season.
