You love to see marine lives up close? We know just the perfect place to get yourself surrounded by friendly marine creatures under tropically clear warm water.
Similan Islands, one of the most exciting national parks of Thailand, host a variety of natural adventures from snorkeling above majestic coral and rock formations — and with the Early Bird Tour, you experience it all before the crowds arrive.
Arriving early at the Similan Islands gives you time to enjoy the beach beneath Sail Rock before it becomes busier. The morning light falls on soft white sand, clear turquoise water and the island's striking granite boulders. You can stroll along the shore, take photos or make your way towards the viewpoint for a look over the bay.
There is another reason we love the early morning: the chance of seeing a sea turtle. On our early bird trips, we have been lucky enough to spot them many times, though as wild animals, every sighting is a special surprise rather than a promise. Whether a turtle appears or not, a morning at Sail Rock is a lovely chance to slow down and enjoy the island.
Start early and arrive at the Similan Islands while the day is still unfolding. As the speedboat approaches the shore, you'll see turquoise water, pale sand and the granite rocks that make these islands so memorable.
The early bird departure gives you the chance to explore some stops before the busiest part of the day. Take a walk along the beach, enjoy the view and make time for photos before continuing your island adventure. Arrival times and the order of stops may change with sea and weather conditions.
One of the loveliest moments of an early bird trip to the Similan Islands is arriving at the beach beneath Sail Rock. In the morning light, the white sand, clear turquoise water and enormous granite boulders make a beautiful first impression. Take a leisurely walk along the shore, find a spot to sit and look out across the Andaman Sea, or walk towards the viewpoint to see the bay from above.
The pleasure of an early arrival is having time to experience the island at your own pace: some guests head straight for the water, while others prefer to explore the beach. Visitor numbers and the time available at this stop vary with the day's itinerary, sea conditions and weather.
Beim Straugbinger Khao Lak Tour has designed this Early Bird program especially for German-speaking guests. Our group is limited to a maximum of 36 guests—we do not add more people beyond that number.
A Thai guide who speaks German well and knows the sea accompanies the group. You can ask questions and hear about the places you visit in German while enjoying an early start to the Similan Islands. The program also includes three snorkeling stops, rather than the usual two. Snorkeling locations may change according to the weather and sea conditions.
Our Similan Islands Early Bird program gives you three opportunities to snorkel and discover the underwater scenery.
Look beneath the surface for coral formations and colourful reef fish at each stop, making every dive feel like a new discovery. Our team chooses the spots according to the weather, tides and sea conditions, so please keep a respectful distance from the coral and marine life.
A whole new view of the Similan Islands awaits beneath the water. Coral formations stretch across the seabed while small fish move through the reef—an underwater scene you can pause to admire during our snorkeling stops.
Our Early Bird program includes three snorkeling stops, giving you more chances to discover the marine scenery. The locations are chosen according to the weather and sea conditions on the day. Please enjoy the coral from a distance and leave it untouched.
Sail Rock is one of the most memorable viewpoints on the Similan Islands. After making your way up the rocky path, the view opens across a sheltered bay and the Andaman Sea: close to shore the water glows turquoise, farther out it turns a deeper blue, framed by granite boulders and green hills.
Take a moment at the viewpoint to look beyond the beach below, where you can appreciate the shape of the coastline and the colors of the sea in a way you cannot see from the shore. It's a beautiful place to pause and take photographs before heading back down to the beach.
Our Similan Early Bird Tour includes three planned snorkeling stops. Explore the underwater world and look out for tropical fish.
The exact snorkeling sites and time spent at each stop may vary with the weather and tides. The boat crew will choose the sites based on conditions on the day.
An early departure means fewer tourists, quieter beaches, and the best light for photography — a real advantage over the later tours.
Dive into some of the most biodiverse waters on the planet. The Similan Islands are home to thriving coral ecosystems, teeming with marine life.
It is home to some of the world's most pristine deep and shallow coral reefs, serving as a habitat for rare marine life such as sea turtles (green sea turtles, hawksbill turtles), whale sharks, manta rays, and over 500 species of fish.
As a protected national park, the Similan Islands are an excellent destination for eco-conscious travelers embracing sustainable tourism practices.
