Island nº8 and its view of turquoise waters
Start your adventure at dawn! Departure from the pier is around 6:30 a.m. (pick-up from your hotel between 5:15 and 6:00 a.m., depending on your location). Start your day with a visit to island nº8, a veritable jewel in the heart of turquoise waters. Enjoy 1h30 of pure pleasure as you stroll to the island’s viewpoint, offering a breathtaking view of the bay and its unique colors that will leave you speechless.
Swimming with sea turtles
Return to the boat for a short distance from the shore and a first snorkeling stop to swim with the sea turtles. The Similan archipelago is a protected park, with nine unspoilt islands, only two of which are open to the public, guaranteeing an unspoilt natural habitat for these magnificent marine creatures.
Snorkeling off island nº9
Explore the unique flora and fauna of the national park during a second snorkeling session in the sea, allowing you to admire coral and fish in their natural environment.
Lunch and relaxation
