★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,648 reviews · 10 - 13 hours · from $125Our pick

Start before dawn, ride from Phuket or Khao Lak to a private pier, then take a fast boat to the Similan Islands. Hike to Sail Rock above Donald Duck Bay, snorkel at three sites, and enjoy lunch on Ko Miang. Guides such as Don, Emma, Kiwi, and Panda are known for spotting turtles and helping first-time snorkelers.

“Fabulous tour of the Similan Islands, perfect for people who like snorkelling. We saw so many beautiful species of fish and corals, and even could swim with turtles. It’s a big operation but it all runs super smoothly and doesn’t feel like a tourist farm at all. Guides were super nice and fun. Would totally recommend this tour!!!”
