Additional Information

Enjoy a memorable boat trip to the renowned Similan Islands; a stunning archipelago in the Andaman Sea in southern Thailand, which is made up of 9 islands.

This is one of the best-known island groups in this area, and its fame is heavily due to having some of the most spectacular coral reefs in the world. When you first come to these islands, you will see huge boulders sitting on the shores on several of the islands, and these create a distinctive feature for this area.

The beaches are snow white, with soft sand, and are perfect for enjoying a lunch picnic or just relaxing. You can often enjoy a deserted beach just to yourselves here.

Beneath the incredibly clear turquoise waters, you can discover a plethora of beautiful coral reefs and unique marine life such as whales, dolphins, and Moray eels. The coral and marine life are so rich in the Similan islands, that there are said to be about 500 species of hard and soft coral here.

  • The national park fee is not included in your quoted price. Payment is in cash on the day of the tour. Payment should be made to your guide who will organise your national park ticket.

Incredible day out with 5 Star!!! - What a wonderful trip we had to the Similans! Khun Chris and the 5 Star crew were so knowledgeable and were wonderful guides! We had an incredible day out and everything was expertly and seamlessly orchestrated by 5 Star from the pick up to the drop off- excellent picnic and unforgettable day. Super attention to all the details- thank you so much! We live here in Phuket and have always had wonderful trips with 5 Star, but this was our 1st time to the Similans! Perfect!

The only trip you should do to the Similan Islands - This was a last minute booking and I really wanted to see the island without so many people on the boat. The team at 5 Star Marina made this happen :) all at 6pm the night before. The team were professional, attentive and always thinking a step ahead which made the trip even more perfect. They understood my style of travelling and nothing was ever an issue. Thanks again team for an AMAZING trip :)

Swimming with the turtles - The private tour to Similan was wonderful. The crew were attentive and flexible to fit the trip to our preferences, so that we made the most of our day. We really wanted to spent as much time as possible snorkeling, so they found us the best and least crowded spots throughout the day to get in the water and explore. They helped us find interesting sea life to spot with a highlight of swimming beside sea turtles. Two of us had been to Similan before and never seen the turtles, so this was a special trip. It was a wonderful day and we will definitely be using 5 Star Marine again next time we come to Phuket.

5 Star Marine's Similan Islands private charter. - Our family enjoyed an unforgettable private charter to Similan Islands with 5 Star Marine. From the time of booking through to hotel pickup and drop off, the service was five star. Jun and his amazing crew went over above and beyond to make sure our day was amazing. Highlights included snorkeling off the boat with a mature green sea turtle and of course the breathtaking Similan Islands. I highly recommend 5 Star marine to family, friends and anyone in search of a unique experience.

SUPER Trip to Similan Island, Phuket - I am sooo glad we went with 5 Star Marine. The entire package was FANTASTIC. Communication from the start was prompt, easy and great. They were very clear that it could be bumpy when we booked our tour and suggested alternative options if we were not keen on the long ride. I took my 3 children, ages 10, 15 and 18 to the Similan Islands. Our guide, K Nook was lovely and the 3 additional crew, K.Max, William and one more lovey man were friendly, helpful and easy going. We blasted our tunes on the long but fun journey there. We snorkeled, hiked up to Sail rock, visited another island where we ate lunch, swam and snorkeled more. 5 Star Marine has good quality snorkeling equipment and K. Nook took many pictures of our family in action under water and shared them all. They had a cooler on board where you can store additional food and snacks if needed. The boat was great! It was expensive day out however we enjoyed EVERY moment and I have already recommended 5 Star Marine to a friend who has family visiting soon. I HIGHLY recommend this company and will defiantly book them again for future trips.

Very Impressive - We booked a private tour to the Similon islands for our family of six, and it was fantastic. In fact we enjoyed it so much, we booked another private tour the next day for the Phi Phi islands. P, out tour guide for the Similons was great, as was Ning our guide for Phi Phi. I can’t remember our captain’s name, but we had the same captain for both trips and he was fantastic at guiding the boat through the sometimes choppy conditions smoothly. The picnic lunch was good, and they were able to help us see the most popular spots without the swarms of tourists from the larger tour groups. We did take a tour with one of the larger groups to the Surin islands prior to our trips with 5-Star marine, and it was a night and day difference. The large group was a nightmare. For any future trips to Phuket, we will only do tours through 5-Star Marine. Also, booking through 5-Star directly for our second tour with them was much cheaper, so I suggest you contact them directly.

"Incredible Trip - Not to be Missed!!!" - Absolutely the best tour we did this holiday. We were a family group of 6 adults and had already done the Phi Phi tour with this company so knew the experience would be great. However this day even surpassed that. The islands are incredible to see, we climbed to the top of one and the views were amazing. The sea is crystal clear we have never seen so many fish while snorkelling in the bays and we swam with the turtles. One of the crew swam with us and took us to the best places to see the fish pointing them out to us all the time. So helpful and friendly they could not do more to improve our day. Nothing was too much trouble.

MUST GO! - Similan Islands is a paradise in the middle of nowhere! It is a definitely must go place and 5 Star Marine is the company have to choose! They are AMAZING!!! I don't think nobody in the island can beat their services and pricing. From the first contact until the day of our experience, we simple got the best customer experience EVER! The guide, the captain and the entire crew on board was top notch. I can't say enough about them.

Another Success for 5 Star! - Yet again, 5 Star Marine earns 5 stars. Boat super clean. Crew super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful — they truly want guests to RELAX and enjoy the day. Great communication with Shaun pre- and post-charter, including multiple conversations about which day would be the smoothest ride (least wind). Crew provided many fun photos to remember the day. They are, for sure, our go-to charter company.
