Our complete experience on the Similan Islands Tour – A paradise setting

Itinerary

  • Koh Similan (Island No. 8) – The main island of the archipelago, famous for the viewpoint at Sail Rock and its white sandy beaches.
  • Koh Bangu (Island No. 9) – One of the best snorkeling spots, with preserved reefs and a great diversity of marine life.
  • Koh Miang (Island No. 4) – Stop for lunch and free time to relax or snorkel.
  • Koh Bayu (Island No. 7) – Last stop for snorkeling, ideal for observing coral reefs and tropical fish.

The Similan archipelago is located a considerable distance from Krabi. The land transfer from hotels in the tourist area takes approximately 2h30 hours, while the boat crossing to the islands takes about 1h30.

It is important to consider this travel time when choosing the tour, as the day starts very early and includes a long journey both to and from the islands.

The Similan Islands remain closed for visitation every year between May and October, a period dedicated to the recovery of the marine ecosystem and the preservation of the region's flora and fauna.

Failure to appear at the meeting point at the indicated time, as well as missing the boarding due to delay, will be considered no show, with no right to refund, rescheduling, credit for another tour, or financial compensation. In these cases, it will not be possible to request that the guide wait, arrange another meeting point, or join the tour after the activities have started.

▶ Rain does not constitute a cancellation condition

The occurrence of rain does not constitute a cancellation condition. Thailand has a tropical climate, and it is common for quick rains to occur throughout the day, especially during the monsoon season. Tours continue to operate normally in case of rain, as long as safety conditions allow for their execution.

▶ Maritime Tours

Maritime operations follow exclusively the daily assessments of the Thai Navy, which is responsible for issuing official guidance on navigation, safety, and sea stability. Only in the case of a formal alert of adverse maritime conditions may the tour be suspended, altered, or rescheduled.

The occurrence of rain at the hotel, in the departure city, or during part of the journey does not necessarily mean that the tour will be canceled. Weather conditions can vary significantly between regions, islands, and maritime areas.

Tours are subject to the operational and safety conditions defined by the local operator responsible for the activity. In case of changes, interruptions, or non-continuation of the tour, the applicable guidance and procedures will be communicated directly by the responsible team on-site.

If there is an official determination that prevents the departure of vessels, our team will contact you to inform you of the applicable procedures. In case of cancellation by the operator (e.g., operational issues or force majeure), a full refund or rescheduling at no additional cost will be offered.

People with mobility limitations must inform us in advance before booking. Some boat tours may not be recommended or permitted, according to the rules and operational conditions of the companies responsible for navigation and boarding.

For safety reasons and according to the rules of local operators, pregnant women and people over 70 years old cannot participate in tours conducted on speedboats.

▶ Holiday Dates and Refund Conditions

New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year, and Lantern Festival do not have refunds, even in the case of full payment.

Other dates may be included according to the local calendar. In cases that fall under these exceptions, there will be no refund.

Additionally, attractions, temples, monuments, parks, and visitation areas may have access limited, suspended, or altered by local authorities without prior notice due to religious ceremonies, official events, celebrations, visits from authorities, weather conditions, or other occurrences beyond the agency's control.

In these situations, our team may make adaptations to the itinerary, change the order of visits, or propose compatible alternatives, always seeking to preserve the best possible experience for participants.

▶ Participant Conduct

The company reserves the right to remove from the tour any participant who exhibits inappropriate, offensive, or aggressive behavior, jeopardizes the safety of the group, or fails to comply with the team's guidance. In such cases, there will be no refund of the amounts paid.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact our team via WhatsApp.
