Embark on an Unforgettable Liveaboard Adventure at Similan Islands National Park!
Dive into the heart of Similan Islands National Park, the crown jewel of liveaboard trips, offering an unparalleled array of world-class dive sites. Experience the most diverse and vibrant diving you'll find anywhere in the world. This stunning park comprises nine lush, densely wooded islands stretching from north to south, each with its unique charm but commonly known by their numbers. Picture yourself on gorgeous beaches with talcum powder-like sand, perfect for relaxing between dives.
The underwater landscape shifts dramatically as you explore the islands. On the east side, dive into sloping hard coral reefs and vibrant shallow coral gardens. Switch to the west side for a whole new world of diving, where massive granite boulders create mesmerizing caverns and swim-throughs. Here, you'll encounter Thailand’s most diverse marine life, including reef sharks, turtles, and rays. The area is a riot of color with huge gorgonians, sea fans, dendronephthyas, and bright yellow tube corals, creating an underwater orgy of color. Dive into this paradise for an unforgettable adventure!
Explore the Wonders of Surin Islands Marine National Park!
Just a few miles south of the Burma border, the Surin Islands Marine National Park beckons with its stunning collection of five islands, each larger than those in the Similan group and draped in lush rainforest. This paradise is not only a diver’s dream but also a tranquil retreat, with white sand beaches and emerald jungle providing the perfect backdrop for relaxation. Watch sea eagles soar above as you unwind after a day of adventure.
Dive into a treasure trove of diving and snorkeling experiences, from the dramatic granite boulders iconic to the Andaman Sea to the vibrant underwater gardens of pristine hard coral. The diving here is reminiscent of the Similan Islands' east side, with frequent encounters with turtles and eagle rays. Whether you’re seeking thrilling underwater exploration or peaceful moments on sun-kissed shores, the Surin Islands offer an unforgettable escape.
