Tour Description
Take an early transfer from your Ao Nang hotel in an air-conditioned minivan to Thap-Lamu Pier. Upon arrival, enjoy a warm welcome from the Wow Andaman team with a light breakfast including coffee and tea, while selecting your snorkeling gear. Your guide will provide essential safety instructions and details about the program before setting off to the Similan Islands in under 90 minutes.
The first stop is Koh Miang (Island No. 4), where you can admire the striking contrast between the white sandy beaches and the turquoise waters. If you're lucky, you may spot Nicobar flying foxes and Nicobar pigeons.
Next, head to Koh Payu (Island No. 7), a stunning snorkeling spot rich with hard and soft corals. Marvel at the colorful fish swimming among the coral reefs.
After a short cruise, arrive at Ko Ba-ngu (Island No. 9), the northernmost island in the archipelago. Its eastern side, known as Breakfast Bend, offers some of the best snorkeling opportunities, featuring sea fans, staghorn corals, and other unique formations.
Feeling hungry? Relish a picnic lunch on the serene, white-sand beach of Koh Similan (Island No. 8). The largest island in the archipelago, it offers breathtaking views and hiking opportunities through jungles and over hills. After lunch, you can climb to the Sailing Rock, a massive rock formation resembling a ship’s sail, and take in the incredible panoramic views from the lookout point.
Finally, head back to Thap-Lamu Pier in Khao Lak, where you'll enjoy light refreshments before your driver safely returns you to your Ao Nang hotel with unforgettable memories.
