Similan Itinerary F: 4 Days / 5 Nights on board

This itinerary is meant to give our guests the best of the Similan Islands within their limited schedules. As with all M/V Philkade’s trips, departures and arrivals are timed so that there is no need to stay overnight on Phuket Island, though, if you wish to we are able to arrange accommodation. We transfer you on the days of arrival and departure at no additional cost. We always include a full evening meal on the evening of departure to the Similan Islands and a full breakfast on the day of departure from M/V Philkade.

This trip gives a full four days diving with up to four dives a day. The dive sites we usually visit include: East of Eden, Deep 6, Elephant Head Rock, Boulder City, and Three Trees on the Similan Islands themselves as well as Ko Bon, Ko Tachai, and of course Richelieu Rock which are all to the north.

Over the four diving days you can see hard coral reefs, soft coral covered pinnacles, and large boulder sites (a Similan speciality). All these are covered with Snapper, Goat Fish, Grouper, Green and Hawksbill Turtles, Anthea, and Damsel Fish. Keep your fingers crossed and you may also be lucky enough to see Manta Rays, Eagle Rays, Whale Sharks, Leopard Sharks, schools of Barracuda, Sea Horses, Harlequin Shrimp, and many more in these waters.

We encourage all our guests to visit the islands when ever possible between dives (either by tender or kayak), so that you can experience what the Similan Islands have to offer above, as well as below the water. You could lounge on the beaches of Ko Miang, Ko Similan, or Ko Tachai or stretch your legs to the view points overlooking Honeymoon Bay and Ao Guerk.
