About this experience

Experience an upscale day trip to the Similan Islands aboard the elegant ‘Emily Princess’ Catamaran, designed for those who prefer grace and stability over a standard speedboat. Your journey begins with a seamless transfer from Phuket/Khao Lak to the exclusive Seven Plus Similan Pier Lounge for breakfast and a safety briefing before setting sail across the turquoise Andaman Sea. The adventure starts at Island No. 8, where you can relax on powdery sands or hike to the iconic Sail Rock for panoramic views. Lunch is a sophisticated affair: a gourmet buffet served fresh on board with 360-degree ocean vistas. Afterward, dive into vibrant coral gardens during two premier snorkeling stops at Ba Ngu (No. 9) and Payu (No. 7) Islands. As the day winds down, enjoy a smooth cruise back to the mainland. Upon arrival at the pier, refuel with a light dinner before your comfortable return transfer to your hotel, concluding a perfectly curated maritime escape.
