Ride a speedboat out to one of the most beautiful locations on earth on this day trip among the Similan Islands. These 9 tiny islands offer a look at nature at its finest, with plenty of time to swim in warm, clear waters and go snorkeling to witness the marine life right below you.

A ride out from your hotel in the morning brings you to the coast of the Andaman Sea, where a speedboat is waiting to bring you to the archipelago of rocky shores and lush vegetation that makes up Mu Ko Similan National Park. Hop in the water for some snorkeling, step ashore for some stunning views at Sail Point, and then enjoy a traditional Thai buffet lunch before some leisure time on the beach.

Once you set back out to sea, don your goggles and flippers for a dive in at a second snorkeling spot, where you can mingle with the friendly sea turtles and a host of tropical fish. In the afternoon, the boat carries you back to the pier for the ride back to your hotel.
