Getting around the Similan
Only Similan Islands 4 and 8 allow you on land. There are trails and very beautiful viewpoints. Bring your shoes! The other islands are off limits to foot traffic.Transit between the islands can be very tricky. There are transfer boats available through the National Park. As the National Park service is a government agency, they are not always tightly organized. If you are short on time (and patience), we recommend using the services of a local dive shop or snorkeling company.A company has recently started offering an overnight tours, with the option to stay on the islands, while visiting various dive sites and snorkeling areas each day.
When on the islands, the National Park offers powerboat transit as follows. These are very basic and departure times are not scheduled. You will need to contact the park directly to find the times.
