Similan Islands
White sandy beaches and crystal clear waters are rather normal in Thailand but the Similan Islands takes it to a whole new level. The Similan Islands are 9 Islands in the Andaman Sea off the west coast of Thailand. They are considered one of the world’s Top Ten Dive destinations. The Islands have over 500 species of hard and soft corals, mesmerizing narrow underwater passages and stunning caves with colorful Leopard sharks, whale sharks, turtles, guitar rays, and so many water animals that will blow your mind. A dive in one of these Islands is like diving into paradise, the currents are gentle, the water is warm and everything is at a stand still allowing you to enjoy your dive at a leisurely pace. Each of the 9 Islands has something different and jaw-dropping to offer.
Mu Ko is the fourth Island and home to the Mu Ko Similan National Park, it offers tours, accommodation, restaurants, and all the comfort tourists could ever need. From here you can easily visit both the western and northern parts of the Similan Islands. Dive into granite boulders, arches, and swim-through tunnels at “Christmas Point” and “Elephant Head Rock''. Experience a colorful tapestry of Mushroom coral, Foliose pore coral, colorful fish, sea fans, and a unique topography that makes the Similan Islands so popular.
