Similan Diving Daytrip
Similan Diving Day Trip w/ iQ Dive Center
The Similan Overnight package has not been available since 2018, as the DNP National Park has decided to close the accommodation on Similan Island for maintenance and to return it to its natural state. Only the Similan Daytrip Package is available, with a daily visitor limit. Highly recommend booking the trip at least a few days in advance to ensure we do have free space for your family.
An opportunity to visit one of the Top 10 Best Diving and Snorkeling islands in the world. Similan Island consists of 9 islands, which is the meaning of "Similan." Every island is beautiful with its own character. All islands are surrounded by crystal blue water, white-powdery sand, and many different kinds of fish, along with some coral reefs that are easily visible along the shore while snorkeling.
Enjoy the scenic scenery under the crystal blue sea at Similan Marine National Park, the top ten dive site in the world with our services.
