The Similan Islands close every year for day trips between 15 May - 15 October. This is because the seas are generally too rough to make it a safe trip. Also, the environment has a chance to recover from day trips during high season. Which keeps the Similan Islands beautiful and accessible every year. You can book our Similan Island tours between 15 October - 15 May.
The best time to visit the Similan Islands from Phuket is during the dry season, which typically runs from November to April. During these months, the weather is generally sunny with clear skies, calm seas, and mild temperatures. That makes it ideal for outdoor activities like swimming, snorkeling, and beach hopping.

Totally worth the early wake up. By 9am we were already at the first island and it was magical. Our guide Nok was super friendly and made the day fun. Food was fine, not fancy but tasty. Can’t believe how blue that water was.

The islands were nice but there were too many people at some spots. It felt a little rushed.
