11 Stunning Tropical Islands to Explore

The Similan National Marine Park islands

Starting with island number 1 (Ko Hu Yong) in the South and finishing with number 11 ( Koh Tachai ) in the north ( Known locally as Paradise island ) each island is made up of a collection of giant granite boulders that slope down into the ocean, creating stunning topography. At the dive sites on the West and the East sides of the islands you’ll find sloping coral reefs with white, sandy bottoms.

The islands are National Marine Parks and closed for 5 months out of the year, due to the monsoon season and, as a result, boast exceptional flora and fauna, of all different shapes and sizes. The closure gives the reefs time to rejuvenate so, when you arrive for your diving holiday in the Similan Islands, they’re brimming with life and beauty!

Our Dive Sites

Recommended Courses

Most of the dive sites in the Similan Marine National Park start at the depth of 20-30 metres. Did you know that we also offer PADI Diving courses at our 5-Star diving centre on Khao Lak? For your safety, and so that you can make the most of your diving holiday in the Similan Islands, we recommend that you complete our “Advanced Open Water” or “1 Dive Adventure Deep Dive” courses, which can be done either before or during your diving day trip. This will allow you to dive up the maximum depth of 30 metres and enjoy all the beauty that awaits you in the deep.
