Similan Islands Excursion from Phuket by Speedboat — Early Departure

An excursion to the Similan Islands from Phuket with an early departure is an excellent option for those who want to spend a full day among white sandy beaches, granite cliffs, and clear seas. The program includes four islands of the Similan archipelago, two snorkeling stops, a walk to the famous Sailing Rock, beach time, and lunch on Island No. 4.

The main feature of this program is the early departure. Hotel pickups in Phuket begin as early as 4:00–5:30 AM, allowing the trip to start before the main tourist crowds. This ensures a comfortable trip to the islands and more time to spend among the natural beauty of the Similan archipelago.

In the morning, you will be picked up from your Phuket hotel and taken to Thap Lamu pier. Before departure, a mini-breakfast, guide introduction, and safety briefing are provided.
